Exhibiting at the PTI booth at PAX East has been an invaluable experience, and the organizers did a great job. It's incredibly disheartening to see this program at risk of getting cut from PAX West and Unplugged, as institutions cede ground. Please read, signal boost, and save the intersection.

This whole thread makes me angry (not at the poster, at Pax). We need to make noise about this. @officialpax.bsky.social is there a reason you are cutting a space so many value? Would love to hear the reasoning.

Listen good, and listen well. If you care about spaces rooted in community and care, then please reach out to PAX and tell them how deeply important The PAX Intersection and PTI programs are. Please read this thread, share it, and #SaveTheIntersection EMAIL THEM here: [email protected]

The Diversity Lounge / The Intersection at @officialpax.bsky.social is what made Boston Gaymers what it is today. The outreach and visibility it gave us were game-changing. Inclusive spaces in gaming are essential, and we need PAX to continue supporting them now more than ever.

Friend, the PAX Intersection is such a needed space at these conventions. This has always been a space for people to gather, find community, support one another, and enjoy the con in a way that's comfortable and safe. Losing this space would an incredible loss for everyone. See the thread below:

I highly encourage you all to email PAX, hop in their DMs, their comment section, and share your experiences of your times in the Intersection Library and it's PTI programs. This is fucking egregious. I'm asking for my community to email them ASAP [email protected]

The PTI is how I got my start exhibiting at conventions. The work Cassie does with the PTI is so important. Please share and listen to everything Cassie has to say here.

Also Just to make it clear, The PAX Intersection is the ONLY place that requires and trains on safety tools. We are the space where trans people come after they are misgendered in a game and enforcers did nothing. Where Black folks get support when the mental health room doesn't understand racism.

With the nightmares for QTBIPOC in the United States right now, it is so so telling that @officialpax.bsky.social has decided that 2026 is the year to cut support and funding for The PAX Intersection & its PTI programs that made a PAX safer & life changing event for devs & attendees of color alike.

"Supreme Court Halts Trump Push to End Birthright Citizenship" & other variations of this headline (that's NYT) are incorrect. Court (narrowly) said no. There is zero evidence that Trump administration will stop pushing, and lots of evidence that it will continue.

Rufo says with zero evidence that america's institutions have become explicitly anti-white and people give him a platform to discuss and debate it. Black people say with years of video evidence, scientific studies, architects' admissions and are met with "we don't know what's in people's hearts.

See, people always want to make this just about "sports," but the real upshot here is that, 6-3, trans women can't make a claim under the Equal Protection Clause. And if they can't do that, it's hard to see how they have constitutional rights.

Let's start this early & often. Fuck the Fourth of July. A genocidal fascist colonial empire hell bent on killing an entire planet ain't nothing to celebrate. The TPS SCOTUS ruling screams it over a megaphone in case you were still in denial. If you ain't the right kind of white they'll kill you.

"The lack of protection built into the design of TPS is the original sin: there should always have been a pathway to residency and citizenship for people who make their lives here in our communities, regardless of how they came. People’s lives should never be left up to political whim."

Ruling against TPS for Haitians, the Trump justices on the Supreme Court have set a new impossible standard for proving discrimination against non-whites: if there is any other reason *in addition* to the racism, the racism doesn’t count www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Tomorrow, Monday, afternoon (around 2pm Central) I will be doing a stream to try and help me raise a few more dollars for my home repairs. I'll have tarot pulls during co-working, chat choosing games/characters, and other fun. gofund.me/820c2007c

Frankly, same. And there are so many people out there who'd do VA work for free, esp if they can use it in their portfolio. Niggas just aren't looking/dont care to, imo

Actually... This is the final game play episode of Windy City Nihilism tomorrow so here is a night before teaser treat. Because this is the last time. 💚 Voice in the clip is @synxiec.blacksky.app Make sure to check out Woke Mental Wellness wherever you listen to podcasts.

Tomorrow the Final Gameplay episode releases! Make sure you have listened through 28 so that you are ready to find out if the group can turn an apocalypse into a new beginning

Genuinely, I wonder if AI is the greatest scam ever pulled

EVERYBODY who protested the PATRIOT Act was called CRAZY and brother did they live to see themselves vindicated

Hey there everyone! Calling attention to this as a dear friend of mine is in need! If you can share and help my friend Lamia to help with home repairs after storm damage, that would be extremely helpful! Repost and share! 💕💕💕✨ Love you Lamia

This is where you see even more of the man behind the curtain. These GenAI tools are forced on workers and consumers. Gullible Businesses are sold on them. People get laid off because "oh AI can do everything so we need less people." 1/ www.404media.co/the-tokenpoc...

Hey folks. So the storms this month were more damaging than originally thought, but not enough for my insurance to kick in. I have really been going through it so I don't have the funds to stop the leak. If you have some spare coins, it would be really helpful. gofund.me/a8b19e8f7

Forgot I promised some stuff to a craft fair fundraising for families impacted by ICE so I'm about to see how many of these I can knock out in my spare time before Friday

Cassie is one of the most amazing humans I know and they do so much for their communities. If you have anything to spare- even a spare moment to give this a repost- please consider helping.

Part of the statement from Benjamin Song, the protestor who fired a gun & was handed the heaviest sentence. Jesus christ.

We live in a fascist state. Horrifying and excessive. This needs to be overturned.
