I cannot stress how important Rebecca has been for trans gamedevs. I wouldn't be here if not for her and her wife. Help if you can.

Dia de los Muertos party. We had about 20 people over, they all brought photos to put on the ofrenda & halfway through the night everyone took turns telling a funny story about the loved one they brought. Really moved by how many folks told us afterwards that they needed this 🖤

the best part is halloween continues tomorrow and the next day

ultimately the thing to remember about piracy is that it’s a tool, and like any tool, there are appropriate and inappropriate circumstances in which to use it. i’m never going to tell anybody “never pirate,” but you should be thinking about what you’re pirating, why, and who’s impacted.

Rest in Power Miss Major. We all owe you so much. Thank you for everything.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

Literally all I’m saying is that if you admit we are in a cesspool of disinformation/misinformation and propaganda, then you should be willing to admit that there are people who are being impacted by it and maybe the problems we have go beyond “personal responsibility” for info consumption

I think it’s weird that people complain about the misinformation, disinformation, and propaganda but then are absolutely unwilling to grapple with the fact that there are folks who have been propagandized and fallen for the mis/disinfo and actually those people are worth trying to reach

I have no idea what white people are talking about right now. The warnings that the fascists will "use this" to do more violence. WHAT WON'T THEY USE? You've watched them deploy the US military on US soil using bullshit pretexts. What even are you talking about?

You can't defend gore, violent, gruesome media without defending sex and erotic media. Both go hand in hand, there's eroticism in the grotesque, theres horror in the sensual. Your "purity" about sex won't save you if you think making war is better than making love
