Amanda @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social has been traveling her ass off reporting on CPB/ICE. There are ways to support her work if you would like to.

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

a sequel: cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by the trump-kennedy center than the fact that congress said a second time in 2 days, “no, really this kind of child’s healthcare should be banned & criminalized” & 46/47 non-GOP senators won’t commit to “i will oppose this.”

"megachurches are shen yun for white people" is an incredible and damning true statement

And I wrote a lovely feature for @theverge.com about trans musicians using going on tour to push mutual aid programs as the government works to criminalize our healthcare:

I forgot I could just idly doodle with no plans for fun. I forgot I could just enjoy drawing.

Everything is so incredibly stupid.

Genuinely I do think if some of you are (rightly) reeling from the news, check these out. They're fun reads, they're a balm. I dunno the over under on trans followers for me but if y'all need a pick-me-up, her stories are good for it.

Never let them tell you they've won.

just look at that art, man

Notice how Trump and Republicans were having the worst couple weeks in the administration's history and they decided to pivot to hardcore attacking trans people?

Trans kids, trans adults, trans all of you folks I’m so glad you live. I’m so glad you’re here and I hope you know there are so many rooting for you, fighting for you and hoping you get to live the best life you can

Republicans are putting the lives of trans children at risk and getting in the way of families making personal decisions for their own children. We should be HELPING these kids survive and thrive — but Republicans would prefer to use them as a political prop.

The 2025 Indie Game Awards begin... right now!

The reason they're so focused on trans teens is that people who transition younger typically blend into society better. To the extent that they're willing to tolerate our existence in society at all, they'd rather we be easily identified by our appearance/voices/etc.

Today, AG Letitia James of New York responded to the Trump administration's new rule attempting to ban trans youth care in hospitals nationwide. "I will not let the administration come for you." Read the latest from our writer, S. Baum here. www.erininthemorning.com/p/i-will-not...

Incredible chicago trans lawyer. Please support

It is genuinely incredible how fast the excitement and goodwill of the Divinity announcement was tarnished by letting the CEO speak for two minutes. Just put duct tape over their mouths. They are actively detrimental to your company. Also, fucking pay concept artists, dumbass

The Larian CEO thing is just more proof that you really just shouldn't let your C-suite do or say anything. If you must have them (and I assure you you don't) then just don't let them speak. Jangle keys in front of their faces all day. They will ruin anything they touch.

Guess I'll post this again

I might write something up about this on the blog but this is about (and hints at) big things, namely that every physical space is also a social space. The materiality of the surroundings shape sociality and vice versa. I hammered on this in my diss and recent Analog Game Studies article.

Go help trans people get housing, go help trans people get hormones, go help trans people get money and food and jobs and everything else we need to not just survive but to thrive Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

i think we can make it to 4K by the end of the week :) itch.io/b/3377/bundl... one repeats: this is a bundle that is valued at $170+ for $15 that's over NINETY PERCENT OFF for the kind of shit mastercard wants to make illegal!! you wanna be gay and do crime?? HERE YOU GO

Shit is lean for my comrade here. Help an animator's mother out this season.

this is irritatingly correct for how apocalyptically mad i am. given the fuckton of newsprint & cash spent to make it fine to say “fuck trans people,” it’s a miracle shit isn’t *farther* gone. i do not, however, think the line gets held by trans people alone. cis folks need to get very damn loud.

if you're an artist, writer, musician, creative, if you have a dream and you can't stop thinking about it, write it down and channel it into your creative process!!!

i love you trans people, we will be okay

Finally, an outlet for terrible creative writing you don't want read by anyone you respect.

cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by karoline leavitt’s lip fillers than the fact that congress just said, “what we should do is put any doctor or pharmacist in prison who gives lifesaving medical care to this specific kind of child we find gross.”

Rep. Sarah McBride may be the first openly trans member of Congress, but the historic nature of her role is something she rarely addresses publicly — except for today. “All Republican politicians care about is making the rich richer & attacking trans people," she said today. My dispatch @ms.now 👇

I am demanding $500 each from every single pundit and politico who tried to rehab her in the last few weeks. Right now.

"Inevitable" is a marketing term, not a certainty.

This GFM for an indispensible local trans artist/organizer/bookseller is stalled out at 66 percent of goal. Can you help 'em get to 100 percent please???

"Check on your trans frie-" No. Give them money. Hire them. Buy them a video game.

🎵🎶Nationalize them...🎶🎵

this is all very true, as is the fact that Lowtax was roughly 100x more responsible and concerned with the impact of his platform on society and the world than any social media CEO

Going into 2026 like...
