This is a thing that happens to me a lot at GDQ People are well meaning and they don't want to misgender, so they make their new default about anyone they/them The problem is, my pronouns are not they/them, and I don't appreciate it. It feels like you realize I'm not a guy but won't go all the way

I've had this image in my head for several months now and have to get it out

This is quite a post www.planetearthandbeyond.co/p/reality-is...

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo

Hey Baltimore folks, be aware of lots of 🧊 activity* rn, particularly in Highlandtown *not the literal kind, but please be careful of snow/wet too

Enough people showed interest that I'll make it public: my GIANT LIST OF YURI* *note, not all of it is yuri but its basically all queer in some way This is an unfinished database, with tags and my thoughts on every Yuri media I can remember experiencing. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

a truly diabolical option has presented itself at karaoke

From Sesame Street

"During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night. The dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for."

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

It's time to actually sincere-post about #AGDQ2026 This was my first in-person event since AGDQ24; I've kinda stepped back from speedrunning stuff over the past few years. Mostly life getting in the way, but some of it was losing my love of the hobby. This event brought that back.

Announcing ICE Breaker: A charity speedrun event by myself & @rrlat.bsky.social on Jan 30 - Feb 1 to support Minnesotans in defending from ICE. Submit runs: oengus.io/marathon/ice... Volunteer: forms.gle/51HEcBmhUC8X... Run submissions close Sunday. Volunteer apps have a soft deadline of Saturday

oh hey sgdq on-site activities schedule just dropped

Cowardice. Plain and simple.

incredibly fucked up that we're just supposed to keep going to work and paying our taxes while violent government agents kill our neighbors in the streets

Everyone asking what Walz is supposed to do other than scolding us: Emergency eviction moratoriums now! Like right fucking now!

“I miss when GDQ was about speedrunning” How fragile do you have to be to miss the current Dark Souls WR record holder speedrunning the game in full armor because pronouns show up on screen

i can't believe this is working

It's wild how quickly re-electing Frey proved to be a mistake. Like, we all knew this would happen sooner or later, because that's just how he is, but he really went out there and shoved his head up his ass *immediately.*

So many people think that government departments and other large-scale capitalist systems can somehow be transformed into something "functional" with the right work or budget or adjustment. They fail to look these systems in the eye and realize that they're all functioning exactly as intended.

"We need to train ICE better" is a wild claim because it assumes those within ICE are improperly taught or otherwise floundering at their job. It assumes they're good people who just need better resources, and not the fact that they're in this job to harass and kill immigrants in the first place.

there's a link in the replies but the long and short of it is: it's zinc chloride, which can basically cause heavy metal toxicity that can cause permanent respiratory damage as well as liver damage.

getting things moving for that anti-ICE pop-up speedrun event. i made a poll to help us decide on dates. FILL THIS OUT ASAP IF YOU'RE INTERESTED strawpoll.com/Qrgew44JXyp

Happening Now: Students have walked out of school and are protesting against ICE in Saint Paul, Minnesota

I’ll never forgive them for doing this to my city

It goes without saying that in the US you’re not supposed to have a masked secret police that snatches people off the streets without knowing if they’ve committed a crime. That’s about as basic a requirement for a democracy as exists.

I'm gonna say this with all the kindness in my heart: you aren't going to survive if you don't let your life have room for other things. This is not a short term fight where we can just go 24/7 and then it will be over. We've got YEARS ahead of us. Take a break. Hydrate. Go bake something. Breathe.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

The reports coming out of Minnesota of the brutality of ICE terror are harrowing. What's clear to me, however, is that the people are rising up to resist this violence head on. Resistance is everywhere. We may be on our own, but we are not alone. "Every time a whistle blows, they don’t win."

I said this yesterday in Shoujos chat: The feeling of dread you get at the sound of a Teams / Slack notification is just a form of clicker training.

hey, elected officials? nobody who says anything like revamp or reform or rehabilitate or retrain ICE has my vote. i don't want ICE 2.0. i don't want "hurt and terrorize and murder and abduct my neighbors but in a more socially acceptable way." get them fucking gone and maybe we'll talk

YES! SAME! 26 IS THE YEAR OF THE PASSION PROJECT

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

The evil spirit that keeps being reincarnated as ganon or possessing people keeps happening to male incarnations. Ganondorf is the only male born to an all-female species. He has chosen to possess zelda a couple time. I think my point is, the key to having peace in hyrule is forcefem.
