Cancer sucks, man.

The most unrealistic thing about medical dramas these days is a doctor spending more than 5 minutes with you. I'm so tired of being shuffled in and out of appointments without even getting to explain fully what's wrong.

Today on this day of my birthday, I request that you do something nice for a queer person you know. Times are tough right now and sometimes just a little gesture from a friend can mean a lot.

Our International Nonbinary People's Day Celebration is coming up July 18-19!!! We're looking for nonbinary runners to showcase during this weekend special on GDQ Hotfix 💛🤍💜🖤 If you'd like to submit a run, submissions are open today through June 13th! Submit a run: gdq.gg/nonbinary-celebration

Beware the dangers of speedrunning

My AI costs have not changed under the new billing scheme thanks to this one simple trick: literally never using the slop generator!

Not using AI is a hill I will die on. In addition to the climate impacts, technofascism, and cognitive impacts, AI slop will never do justice to the beautiful, messy complexity of queer experience. Writing about diverse experiences is HARD, which is why it's so worth doing. #Pride #QueerWriters 📚️💙

Hi friends. Pride starts today and in case you weren't aware. Shit sucks right now, especially for visibly lgbtq+ people. If you consider yourself an ally please consider skipping the rainbow posting and message your representatives that you want them to stand up for our rights.

It took me a while to realise that when American friends spoke of the need for more walkable cities in certain parts of the US, they often didn't mean more and better footpaths so much as "You literally cannot move around on foot here. Please fix that."

If I had a nickel for every time I had to go to the Emergency Room during GDQ I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

if you are someone who makes anything, anything at all, with your own real brain and hands, I respect you so so much and am begging you to keep doing it.

You ever run into a youtuber that you can't exactly place why, but they just give "Kind of a facist" vibes with the way they talk? Like, their content is good and entertaining but it makes you squirm and wriggle a bit if you watch too much of it in a row because it's generally uncomfortable?

Have you been on the mainstage at a GDQ main event? Are you from somewhere other than the US? Do you still run the game you showcased or would be up for derusting it? GDQ Hotfix's Fast Travel wants to hear from you! DMs are open!

Just got one of those "This is member services" scam calls that sounded fully like an AI on the other end of the phone. I wish the AI bullshit wouldn't continue to get WORSE. "Who are you calling from?" [long pause] "This is Gary... from... member services" in a really bad AI voice.

You’re absolutely right. I sent the plan into an uncontrollable spin and doomed 274 people to a brutal death in the Pacific Ocean. That’s on me, and next time I’ll do better. Would you like me to book a trip to Alpha Centauri?

The entrance to my room is now properly marked

I'm so tired of what the combination of excessive clickbait and AI has done to news writing. You actually find an article about an interesting topic and it restates the conclusion in different words every paragraph. Yes I get it, you don't need to remind me every 30 seconds.

PSA

I chose an incredible time to move closer to work. Gas price going back up? I walked to work today.

i have been writing about the virginia supreme court decision with a certain amount of analytical detachment but if i’m being honest i’m also fucking furious i took the time to go vote and then my ballot got tossed out by these dipshits

Do you ever just... feel shorter than usual for no reason?

Umm... Twitch? I have Turbo what are you trying to sell it to me for?

STOP BUYING FROM HOBBY LOBBY. I BEG YOU www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/05/hobb...

Calling the new ISP to change our plan to something that doesn't have terrible upload speed. And the automated menu just doesn't work and had to go around in a loop for 5 minutes before it let me go to an agent when I'm actively trying to give them more money. Can we ditch this automated BS yet?

Falling asleep in bed with your phone in your hand. Then you put your phone down to go to sleep... And suddenly you're not tired anymore.

I'm tired boss.

Remember when the entire internet revolted at the idea of paid DLC? I miss those days.

I'm entering the business of making relatable memes

gender is a performance and i am fucking up this choreography so bad lol

gender is a performance and I am yelling "LINE"

I'm so tired of renting. Every lease ever: We're not responsible for anything, including damage from flooding, burst pipes, or our own damn negligence We will hold you responsible if your lamp falls over and dings the floor. Don't try us. I know a lot of it isn't enforceable but it's exhausting.

one of the pieces i made for @vyletpony.com's "gonarch's lair" >:3 go listen to it now !!

Unhappy to report the phishing one is quickly becoming a real problem now. Why go to the trouble of social engineering when people will just give up their ID, financial info, biometrics, etc. to an AV portal? There's no standards so how can you differentiate a fake one from a real one?

Never having a moment of privacy from corporate and government spying. This is literally what this is, all nice and wrapped up cozy under a faux concern for The Children™. Fuck this bullshit. This is about control and monitoring. Don't let them willingly usurp your rights.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Did it again, ordered pickup from a local grill before I left work. Drove by to pick it up on the way home. Cost the same as a meal from Wendy's for food that was immeasurably better with much better ingredients. Burger w/ bacon, Pepper Jack, lettuce, fried onion ring and a soft fried egg

trans people are a gift to the world and we ought to be treating them as such

please tell your friends you love them.

I'm so mad that people can bring up something from almost 10 years ago, twist the facts into deliberately vague phrasing, and make it sound like they're the victim. It's very rare for me to be this upset, because I know exactly the situation being referenced and mmmmmmmmm

Day 13: Silva Hound has been around since the early days of pony music, and doesn't make pony music as much these days but EGOMANIA blew me away the first time I heard it. It's an incredible song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBD7...

None of this should be surprising to people who know me. grids.fun/t/about-me-p...

since bluesky is having a time here's today's song.

I can't believe @jaxlersr.bsky.social hit me with a pop-quiz in the green room for hotfix.

Day 7: I adore this song, it's such a bop. One of the things that really struck me when I started trying to catch up on 10 years of pony music is just how high quality pony songs are these days. The mastering and mixing doesn't sound like fan music it's incredible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YdH...

The House of Hikmah releases today! You play as a fully-voiced Maya in Islamic Age dealing with grief in a cel-shaded 3D puzzle adventure. Played two hours of it last week, and interviewed wonderful developers/team. An ingenious puzzle game that uses findings of real-life Islamic scholars. PC.

So when the Moon Rises comes up in the daily pony song thread... I'm just gonna get ahead of the discourse. I prefer the original version to the extended version with Kristen Calvin. Both are genuinely beautiful, but in the end I much prefer the version without the extra verse. youtu.be/kPjVCIX5Fvs

This is still going on, and I've been mostly silent for a reason. But I don't care what side of this you're on, it seems like everyone in the discussion wants abusers out. Please keep in mind no matter which side you're arguing on, the goal is never to discourage people from reporting abusers.
