god damn it so much shit that just doesn't end

constitutional birthright citizenship survives by 1 vote. and to think people were worried about this beautiful institution.

Good, and thank god.

This especially hurts to read in a world where people are still pushing the “historians will say they’re roommates” narrative. Total erasure of very, very hard work.

I know people here know not use this but I’m going to post anyway that people should just have an account at a credit union instead of this or Mr. Beast’s banking app (yes this is real)

playing Skunny Kart and what are even these controls?

There should be a pride month that doesn’t have deadly heat waves

Michigan Friends! I’m doing an event for Disability Pride Month on July 18th with disAbility Connections in Jackson, Michigan! ❤️♿️❤️ There will be a book talk and live performance (via Zoom) by Yours Truly. Come celebrate with the disability community! Details here: violinscratches.com/shows

The KIDS Act [containing KOSA] has passed the House This sucks, but its not the end. It still has to pass through the Senate committee and then be voted on by the Senate itself Please continue contactimg your Senators and demanding they oppose the KIDS Act & KOSA www.congress.gov/members/find...

@debbiedingell.house.gov should be ashamed for voting for this

The "x scene didn't advance the plot" folks would probably have a meltdown if they watched something like Slacker

It's hot outside. Be sure to hydrate and play BioMenace Remastered! You can get it with a 35% discount in the Steam Summer Sale (June 25th - July 10th)! Get it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3459100/...

The nice thing about The Clash's The Magnificent Seven being so different in the live version is that folks get to hear Joe Strummer say "cheeseburger" in a variety of fun and unusual ways

In the most literal sense, this took me 30 seconds. Please do this right now. Do not put it off.

one day I'll reach a level of local posting so specific that only people in my neighborhood will understand what I'm talking about. Complaining about a woodchuck or something, idk

highly recommended to folks who like 80s era Sierra adventure games! It even runs in DOS.

I’m so glad that my library has a free print newspaper that I can support and have sent to my home, has lots of local stuff and isn’t right wing like other local news sites. Not happy about the digital part being on Substack but maybe I can nudge them from that. At least the print part isn’t that

lmao

All of Indiepocalypse (the monthly game anthology highlighting the exciting fringes of independent games) is on sale as part of the itch summer sale! Whether you pick up an issue or use it as a guide to find other developers' work, it's well worth a browse! itch.io/s/191413/ind...

Remember the internet before Google, before algorithmic feeds, before monolithic social media corralled us onto the same handful of apps? When small, *personal websites* and webrings linking them together reigned supreme? Time to bring it back.

The Steam Summer Sale is still going! Grab 3 of my point & click adventures for < $26! - Explore 1920s Miami Or enter the alt history world of Vespuccia and: - Solve cases as a haunted detective - Travel across the frontier in search of a missing fortune store.steampowered.com/developer/gr...

if they pass a national age verification law before a privacy law so help me god punchbowl.news/article/tech...

If you’re in southeast Michigan please be careful this week!

do you wanna read me yapping about dynasty warriors? and fujoshis? of course you do

did too much yesterday so I'm relaxing at home and looking at digital archives on local library websites. Hooting and hollering because the Novi library mentions Dublin Core and I know what that is now novihistoricalcommission.omeka.net/items/show/2... Hope you're all having a nice weekend too

I think this is a great idea and I’m very excited to have my site on it. Consider submitting your blog!

A few more days to grab some queer books on the cheap! We've got everything, from novellas taking a few hours, to reads that will take over your life~! Everything is a dollar or cheaper, or buy them all for fifteen 👀 traumbooks.itch.io

It's pride month, we're a queer studio, and Kitsune Tails is extremely gay. Please buy our games, we could use the money

I really love and appreciate that the band Silkworm reunited and is committed to using the same site from decades ago. You can read band updates going all the way back to 1997! Hoping that one day there will be a stop near Detroit

Good Morning! This morning's news: Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2 Exergaming Meccha Chameleon Shout-out: @michaelklamerus.bsky.social Music: Desktop Explorers Recommendation: Libraries

I think this is a great idea and I’m very excited to have my site on it. Consider submitting your blog!

1. I don’t think McMorrow voters would go to Stevens tbh. 2. It would have been nice if Gary put this much effort into fighting Trump

I enjoyed reading @michaelklamerus.bsky.social's thoughts on Caper in the Castro. Worth a quick read, and you should play the game if you haven't!

wrote on two great platformers and some recent thoughts on architectural space in games. "the platformer genre emerged as a postmodern medium designed to sell itself to you (in the coin pushing of the arcade) on the challenge of navigating non-social spaces." glitchout.blog/2026/06/27/f...

all of my games are on sale!! 100% off because 0 x 100% is still 0 they're all free all the time anyway is what i'm saying ellisdex.itch.io

Itch.io Summer Sale recommendation thread because I think it's a neat site and I like that it takes a smaller cut than Steam and you get the games DRM-free. Most of these will probably be adventure games since that's what I play the most! 🧵

Match-3 is having an indie renaissance! If you like the genre but hate that it’s become a vehicle to extract money from your mom 5$ at a time, check out this new bundle we’re in! It just so happens all the games are also on sale for steam’s summer sale🥳 store.steampowered.com/bundle/76579...

It’s always very goofy when people act like games released on Steam are more valid or real than ones on Itch or games on consoles somehow count more than ones on PC when we all know the only valid video games are the ones published on public library websites

Ok here it is, my thoughtful retrospective yet also crotchety post about Manifesto Jam, that no one will click on hotelpaintings.neocities.org/posts/2026-0...

ICYMI I'm gay during pride month! ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ Support some queer lit projects!

It can't be on the Steam sale because we launched just two weeks ago, but you can get Imago Season for cheap at the Other Web™ instead!

one of the @aadl.org summer game badges is for obscure video game mascots! aadl.org/node/671321

My local Arts, Beats, and Eats festival in Royal Oak has more musical acts, including the musicians that canceled on America 250 lol artsbeatseats.com/beats/

I’ve become such a big physical media nerd over the last few years, mostly because of streaming nonsense, and yeah the obvious annoyances are there but it’s also just nice being able to grab a thing in my home if I want it (and can remember where I put it)

Your friendly neighborhood librarian is once again reminding you that your public library has access to a bigger collection of films and TV on DVD and Blu-ray than Netflix ever had.
