NEW: I spoke to multiple people impacted by the job cuts at Xbox to understand how the latest round of mass layoffs played out and what it means for the embattled video game division moving forward. This is their story.

Woke up to some absolutely sick news, that our musical improv actual play, One Shot: Last Train to Bremen, was accepted into the New Jersey Web Fest for 2026! First, an ENNIE nomination, now a festival!!! I hope this inspires you to check this series out! HUGE congratulations to the cast & crew!

Update time! Hiho, I'm Cue Cazoo; a trans, filipino artist, writer, and game designer!! Most of my work pertains to my setting, Cignet, which is heavily inspired by stories like the Phantom Tollbooth. You can find more of my work on my carrd: cuecuecazoo.carrd.co #portfolioday #digitalartist

The Adventure Zone: Story and Song Graphic Novel is out in bookstores everywhere today! I'm so excited for you to get to read it!! We would never have made it this far without all of the time and attention and care you've given TAZGN over the years. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Would deeply appreciate help. I am a disabled trans man from the global south. I am also the only person in my family who currently works. I have a life limiting condition that will end my life if not medicated. My insurance is only 350 usd a year, I dunno what else to do but ask for mutual aid

Did not even last a week. The fact that this made it out the door means the privacy department now works in a basement with no computers and a single stapler. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/10/t...

This is why JKR is a danger to queer people, and people need to wake up to this sooner rather than later. She is picking fights with human rights groups, because they support the existence of trans people and our human rights.

seven part pact launches in 2 days, here's some sketches by @badbucket.bsky.social showing the process for designing different boards — each of the seven wizards has their own board game with completely different rules (and inspiration from different styles of medieval art)

a very happy GET DEAD LINDSEY GRAHAM to all who celebrate, and remember:

Looked back on this post and realized I never updated that progress check. Wowzers, things certainly do change ;;;

Riding it as if to deliver the news of the kings demise to his scheming courtiers.

Down with the zionist state #art

This fundraiser has stagnated and we're still roughly $150 away from our next milestone goal of 3k. If 10 people donated $20, we would make this goal. 🌸 gofund.me/362eff752

IMPORTANT: Two websites for US food access. Please spread the word. This is a great, easy to use site to find free food near you:

Hiya folks! Wanted to say something real quick! If you are a Black transmasc VA or know of one who is, please share this casting call with them! Although it's only been a few days, there's been a large amount of submissions for Penelope and only 3 for Owen.

ICE is surging in the Seattle area. (Map shows activity in the last week) Do you have your whistle with you?

Oh and for @missspookie.bsky.social, too

congrats tom holland on her transition

i think when people make OCs you always gotta have a part of their design that's like "it's like that because i'm a pervert" it's very important

Plans for the largest data center in the world have been abandoned. Blackstone-owned QTS has decided not to appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court, giving up on the world’s largest data center. Fierce opposition and organizing from residents of Price William County ultimately beat out Blackstone.

IF YOU KNOW WHO RANSACKED THE DATA CENTERS, NO YOU FUCKING DIDN'T. REMEMBER: THE GUY WHO SOLD OUT LUIGI DIDN'T GET REWARDED AND IS NOW A PARIAH. YOU SEE NOTHING. YOU HEAR NOTHING. YOU KNOW NOTHING.

We could use some help purchasing a new window AC unit. It's $259 on sale, free shipping. I know times are hard, so anything helps. <3 ko-fi.com/gnomedic This is the unit I'm looking to buy: www.frigidaire.com/en/p/home-co...

Hey #EpithetErased fans, starting today we're bringing back #MundieMondays where we give active updates each week on the Epithet work we're doing. This week is focused on finalizing the lyrics for the Giovanni villain song. We're 2/3 verses done. It's the longest song in the series by far.

I am almost $150 away from our next milestone goal of 3k. If 10 people donated $20, we would make this goal! My family still needs help, and I still need help with my own groceries and bills. 🌸 gofund.me/362eff752

Now's the best time to talk about how Mitch McConnell is one of the most malignant figures in American history because you won't end up getting screenshotted and put in a Breitbart listicle for "disrespecting the dead" or whatever.

i'm still in a really tough spot with rent this month. please consider commissioning me for some writing, or booking an actual play performance consultation!

I was told they will pay me severance but I have had no word from my work for weeks about that. I am an indigenous transmasculine person from the global south and the sole earner for a family of four <:/ please buy my prints if you would so like. www.inprnt.com/gallery/litt...

My parents were low income so I often just browsed game shops as a kid. Sometimes mum let me get a game. It'd cost her whole day's wage and a chunk of our rent. Dad once told me to check under the car seat and Pokemon Red was there in a bag. Ownership isn't the only thing we lose with physical media

it's crazy to have been working on this game for 4 years and to finally have mockups of it

Some rainy seahorses as respite after the heatwave #art

I am still raising money. I got the patching done but the gutter guards, loose shingles and inside are all beyond what I could afford. www.gofundme.com/f/help-cassi...

Data centers spike the cost of power for everyone who lives nearby. Often, people building new projects promise they’ll build out power infrastructure to make up the cost and prevent normal people from footing the bill. That's not how it works. @mjgault.bsky.social: www.404media.co/henrico-virg...

The spirit of place is often difficult to define in a photograph. For me, this comes close. First light streaming through York Minster's Great East Window. One of those fleeting moments that has stayed with me ever since I pressed the shutter button.
