Say what you want about consoles, at least they still have physical media. (touches earpiece) I'm sorry, what

Still looking for a remote senior/staff-level SWE role that can provide health/vision/dental. I'm so good at what I do, and this job search dragging on is taking such a toll on me. Any help deeply appreciated.

As a Hellenic Reconstructionist, I support this 😁🏛️

This is so bad, you guys. If you don’t want to have to give your ID over to every website ever - including the really creepy ones - then you need to call your senators NOW. I made it easy for you 👇 www.senate.gov/senators/sen... DO 👏 IT 👏 NOW 👏

I can't stress enough how rare it was to see ANY clouds in the Eastern Sierra over the summer, let alone having dramatic thunderstorm clouds on the only day I had a photoshoot there! Yes, the chroma of the sky was increased in post, but it did feel this dramatic in person 🌈 @clstudio.bsky.social

This is a great game, as to be expected from the ppl behind Sonic Mania. It’s a platformer w/a solid trick system (continuously tricking through the level is how you get high scores) &charming graphics w/a cute aesthetic that builds on the Genesis “limited color palette” look but in 3D. Recommended!

Happy #AutisticPrideDay 😊

I finally beat Mercenaries Blaze on Normal &Hard modes, &it's one of the finest tactical RPGs I've ever played. Also, apparently it's on sale on the Nintendo eShop for $10 (or, you can get games 1–5 in the Mercenaries series of tactical RPGs, including Blaze, for $21 w/the Mercenaries Series Bundle)

Following the shameful decision of NHS England to forcibly detransition trans kids under the care of Brighton WellBN Good Law Project is funding gender affirming private healthcare for at least 10 young trans people whose treatment has been withdrawn and whose financial need is greatest.

Still in need of a full-time remote senior/staff-level job! My strengths are TypeScript, Solidity, SQL, C#, and Swift. Decent with Rust. I'm a good team lead too and was once a CTO of a YC company. Boosts for visibility appreciated. Thanks SO much.

One part of this is that I think an opportunity for the left (though by NO means the like, electoral parts of it) might be to really make an effort to engage with sexuality, and give men opportunities to embrace theirs in healthy ways.

If you have nsfw set to "hide" I implore you to set it to "warn". You still won't see anything except for a blurred post Otherwise once they roll out account-wide adult content labeling a whole lot of people including me are going to disappear from your timelines, even our sfw text posts

Bob is a true friend. He has just given me, an autistic person, permission to infodump 😄

😳 And here I thought Aphrodite's last known location on this Earthly plane was her fabled hidden city in the mountains of Italy. Apparently in the 1980s, she was in Germany making Commodore 64 software 😉 archive.org/details/c64_...

Of course I couldn't resist the chance to bring up my biggest recurring kvetch about Doctor Who. (No shade intended to you, Andrew! This is neat)

If people see you making money as a sex worker, they will try very hard to take it away from you. Both by institutions and on an individual level, sex workers are seen as not worthy or deserving of the money we earn, and somehow always criminal, even if we earned it perfectly legally

I suggest Mamdani name his new commission something a little less… ominous. Like, just call it the Ministry for Administrative Affairs

I'm wondering if I should get the three Devil May Cry games while they're $5 each on the Nintendo eShop. They're from the guy who would later create Bayonetta, so I'd expect they have similar gameplay, but… would I enjoy Bayo-like gameplay without a hot chick protagonist? 🤔 Let me know your thoughts

The boomer-coded "I love blocking people" is just "LOL, triggered?" in a difference cadence. I block people, too, but you don't see me announcing it minutes after a hot take.

This is a good thread about a dangerous bill that looks to defund schools that basically do any degree of education around sex, abuse, and consent. Ignore the PinkNews slop link, it's not the point.

Ah, so this is how everyone is making these 😄 Here's mine:

Introduce yourself with 10 bands / artists you've seen live Aretha Franklin Buddy Guy The Sonic Symphony: World Tour orchestra and band Garbage …that's it 😅

There's still time to watch this! 🙇‍♀️

One new "feature" of the Bluesky app that I really hate is that it now auto-refreshes the Following timeline whenever you post something. Bitch, I don't always want to get sucked into a day of doomscrolling whenever I post something! Sometimes I just want to post! 😭

I've been rewatching classic Digimon lately and man, I'd forgotten how bad the dub was early on. No offense meant to the excellent voice actors or really even the dub writers, there just seemed to be this overall philosophy at Saban that every moment of the show had to be peppered with bad jokes.

Lefties who oppose Israel's policies loudly calling out antisemitism is a wholesome move on so many levels

BTW, I did manage to drop off my ballot yesterday, and today I got the message that my ballot had been counted. So, yay! #IVoted #oregonvotes

Only wanting to vote for a perfect candidate is selfish. It's about stroking your ego more than taking a principled stand. It makes you *less* radical, because you're refusing to use every tool at your disposal to make the world a better place.

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

Trans people are not “fighting for unpopular positions that society isn’t ready for.” Trans people are fighting to KEEP the rights we have enjoyed for decades. We have been able to legally change our gender markers since the 70s and before. Same with bathrooms, sports, youth, all for decades.

My latest: I wrote about Trump's Golden Statue. And as a former Christian, let me hold y'all's hand when I say...the Trump figure is not the modern version of "golden calf". If you know your Bible, the statue represents something far worse. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trump-is-n...

CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

If you are not following Jenny Sunshine, you are missing OUT! 😍 (Warning for nudity, but you've probably guessed that already. This is some of the finest nude modeling I've ever seen!)

Human writers use em-dashes too

This mindset devolves in to horseshoe theory so fast where the “women shouldn’t appeal to gooners!” mindset circles back in to puritanical culture in which women shouldn’t show themselves off at all (other than to their husbands)

“This is for gooners!” Feminine sexuality and body confidence is allowed to exist and be represented without being judged by whether or not the most putrid men want to jerk off to it. Women do not exist for male consumption. We’re allowed to express ourselves FOR ourselves and each other.

There's an episode of Young Justice (somebody help me remember) where the heroes remind a young villain that whatever magical object he was holding, or threshold he was passing, required his heart to be pure; so said the lore/prophecy/whatever, after all. His response? "It never said pure _good._"

I was a bit skeptical coming into this because I've long thought that school, in many ways, _should_ be more like Pokémon. Games reward players effectively for learning the mechanics, so all games teach: the question is _what_ they teach. Apparently the answer for ed slop games is: not enough.

Do any of my fellow Portland peeps have opinions/resources on the contested judicial elections on this year’s primary ballot? I’m tryna fill it out & there are so many candidates & they all SEEM qualified… I’m not a lawyer & I don’t follow Oregon law news enough 😥 (I know, shoulda done this earlier)

Post an iconic movie image

Dispatches from Elsewhere is leaving Netflix on June 4 (last day to watch is June 3), & if you have Netflix I highly recommend you watch it. Limited series, only 10 episodes, ARG vibes, intriguing mystery, smoking-hot trans woman playing a prominent character, what's not to like?😄 #DivineNonchalance

A bit more on this. Like, when I was with the anti-SJW crowd in the 2010s, I heard a lot, as a rebuttal to "representation matters," that kids will identify with anyone onscreen (including, say, talking animals). I think this misses the point. Sure, a well-written character is someone anyone will…

Oof, now this discourse is starting up again w/r/t the horrific murder of Juniper Blessing. It's true that slain white trans women get memorialized very little, & slain trans women of color even less. I think we can acknowledge that w/o taking away from how all trans ppl have it really bad right now

Come on. When are we getting an AI model trained on Astro Boy? (…just don't train it on how Osamu Tezuka drew Black people 😖)

I accept that one will be JavaScript, that blight on the computing landscape. The other one will be Lisp. I WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN 😤

I don't disagree with Effy, exactly, but I do think it's worth noting there are anti-immigrant death squads out there right now, & the federal gov't has been frothing at the mouth w/anti-trans hysteria, so it's not _entirely_ unreasonable to worry that us trans people are next on the list. (cont'd)

this is very clearly and directly genocidal: "Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group" is explicitly listed as a genocidal act in the 1948 convention, and Russia's intent to destroy Ukrainians as a people has been made clear over and over again
