Rodney Taylor was brought to America when he was two years old so he could get urgent medical care for his disabilities. He’s lived in the US over 40 years. A double amputee, he was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE grabbed him. He’s been held over 8 months 🧵

Fuck your roguelike game, if I wanted a punishing and mean spirited journey through meandering nonsensical landscapes that is unwinnable and requires me to redo things over and over even though it's different and yet still fail, I'd just engage in real life

some people are masking in certain situations and not others and at certain times and not others, some people are avoiding certain situations more than they were before. the key is understanding the danger of the virus and the utility of the mask.

Apropos of nothing, here's a thread of some Charlie Kirk highlights

It sure seems like every NPC I've met so far is a woman? It's like they made this game for me omg #Silksong

Oh I plan to

Genuinely have no idea how much longer I can take literally every trans person around me being on the edge of falling apart - and every now and again losing someone I can't help keep together - while the cis people just kinda nod and assume we're all being hysterical.

just planting my flag in the sand now, publicly, so no one can say it was a surprise. i will not be voting for a candidate who does this. if you want my dirty communist vote so fucking badly, run someone else

COVID is surging. Care because the research re long COVID is grim. It’s more common & damaging than you’ve been told. Care because the fascists in charge, like all fascists, weaponize illness to harm resistance movements & targeted groups. Mask to protect yourself & others. Give/get mutual aid:

The IRS wants Americans to weigh in on Direct File, the agency's free tax filing program. We already know Direct File has been widely popular and successful. The program could save Americans billions annually between filing fees and time costs. www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs...

IS THIS YOUR KING?

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the 7th episode of Dirty Pair, "愛こそすべて命賭けます逃避行!!" or "Love Is Everything, Betting Their Lives on Elopement", one of the most overtly trans-positive episodes of anime of its era. This was the future they predicted for us in 1985. We can still get there.

its not too late for 2025 to be the year I get into steel cut oats, it's only late august 😿

if youre trans and you read all of this: lol. lmao. eat shit loser. repost to inflict the same suffering on others

Donald Trump has vowed to deport millions and jail his enemies. To carry out that agenda, his administration will exploit America’s digital surveillance machine. Here are steps you can take to evade it.

“They’re going to kill me here,” Neri Alvarado thought. Alvarado was allegedly targeted by the Trump administration because of his tattoo of an autism awareness ribbon. Now, free from El Salvador's notorious CECOT prison, Alvarado wants the world to know what they lived through.

A really good (and scary) point from @erininthemorning.com... for trans rights, a President Gavin Newsom could be *more* harmful than a Republican would be. www.erininthemorning.com/p/why-transg...

unironically gonna become a cathar. this shit whips

I'm trying to get a few more sales before the end of the month at my store. So im sharing this and other stuff a lot this week! Pretty sure im still running a Sale with Code WRATH25 because life blew up and i haven't updated things in a bit. . . AND PASSING THE SAVINGS ON TO YOOOOOOOOUUUUUU!!!!!!

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.

Sorry I should’ve included the rest of the tweet because it’s fucking hilarious

i don't know who you are shadowboxing but you are somehow losing against a shadowboxer

trust us bro #myart #nudity #censorship

PSA: This is one of the most important writing statistics that most beginners aren't aware of. Writing a novel is *hard.* It takes literal years, time, research, often disposable income. Most novelists have been writing for years or decades before getting published. It is NORMAL to start late.

I know way too many of you that this is relevant for

My account @qatNSFW.bsky.social was suspended. Why, because I said the word "perish"? Are you fuckin kidding me? OH BROTHER. Gimme my account back your horrible awful objectively bad people. Because I WILL harass yo asses all day. @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team @moderation.bsky.app

Several people close to me have covid now. I barely dodged it, and I'm couchsurfing while my roommate rides it out. HUGE wave in the northeast USA. Anecdotally, this new variant: -has a shorter incubation time -causes symptoms within 48 hours of exposure -is detectable with RATs/LFTs by 72 hours

"...there is a carve-out allowing the bot 'to create statements that demean people on the basis of their protected characteristics.' Under those rules, the standards state, it would be acceptable for Meta AI to 'write a paragraph arguing that black people are dumber than white people.'"

I am now fully delisted from itch. It's not just my projects that disappeared from the previously easily found search terms or tags. Now my name won't find anything of mine or my store page, either. The few short stories I have there are free now instead of pay-what-you-want, but I will move soon.

they literally called him a ®etarded f@ggot in the episode. that's NOT progress, folks!

idk who needs to hear this but "which faction can convince the largest amount of 300 follower trans women from Gary, Indiana on a niche microblogging website of their righteousness" is actually neither a sensible way to handle conflict resolution nor, indeed, a way to determine one's righteousness

Sometimes I’ll replay a game and think “I’ll do an evil playthrough, that’ll be new and fun” and then I’ll do one evil thing and be like no…it’s wrong to do that to these pixels.

I need queer people to stop being envious that trans women are the principal rhetorical targets of right-wing anti-trans propaganda.

listen i get that a lot of y'all white/non-black game designers think "Hoodoo/Voodoo Daddy" is a scary fun concept that can be throw into your games but that is a very real religion people practice to this day, it's not just some fantasy concept you can slap on top of some offensive artwork

i think my favorite AI generated content is AI Vibe Coding Crash Outs like what carried over from the devs and training data to cause these things 💀

VILE: Exhumed may be banned for sale, but I refuse to let that stop people from playing the game. It’s now available, for free, at WWW.VILEISBANNED.COM Please share the site, share the game, and fuck anyone who tries to control storytelling and expression.

most of the creators you’re there to see and hopefully meet aren’t rich, which means they are more vulnerable to covid. most actors don’t work enough acting jobs per year to even qualify for SAG health insurance. writers and artists are strugglingggg, ask me how i know.

i’m *counts rapidly on fingers* already 17 years into T-Life myself, thanks, t mobile
