For Woke Week, I present you three blogs in one: 1. A foundational queer comic strip you might not know about 2. A tour through my past working at a lesbian feminist vegetarian restaurant in the 90s 3. Turning satirical vegetarian food into a reality, with varying degrees of success

Brûler away, mon frère père

the speedrunning community was as toxic and as much of a boys club (if not more) as many others not too long ago, and the transition to it being a more queer-positive and inclusive event wasn't inevitable. GDQ's shift has been really meaningful and it's a lesson for what a lot of other spaces can be

During a panel this weekend @captainkrail.bsky.social casually referenced this silly axis I made up as if it's a thing and for that I would like to reintroduce the ttrpg Fluffy/Flat/Creamy/Crunchy axis

Conversely, the fact that there hasn't been a game with blitzball since 2004 is a godsdamned tragedy

Fuck Harry Potter. Boring ass books for babies. Why don't you read some smut like a grown up?

Used to be, you'd have to pay extra to see lesbians fuckin'. Now people're complaining 'cause the show they like's givin' it to 'em for free. Truly, mad times we're livin' in.

It's so fucking satisfying when a coworker builds something incredibly cool and powerful on top of systems you designed.

So if you are a USian queer and have anyone in your direct line who is Canadian you should consider applying for Canadian Citizenship. The end of the second generation limit means that is more possible than ever and you are not applying to be naturalized, its recognition of citizenship

the way we all know immediately who it’s about

I don't recall who first pointed it out but: what is a prompt but a form of documentation? If you produce good documentation, someone looking at the system is more likely to get a correct answer whether they read it themselves or ask a chatbot about it. Good documentation is always a good idea.

I am increasingly in agreement with the approach because man, the stock market here makes sense. People can mostly tell me what each company does and they usually actually do something. And pay dividends instead of just becoming more valuable for being valuable. But I am old fashioned like that.

Andrew is right, but also, in a world of short-term profit-taking and computerized trading, any news which could signal an uptick in stocks means you have to buy the dip, which sends prices higher.

“how the fuck do i know more about this than you do” coming from a septum pierced former barista with pink hair would save our economy

I'm gonna venture a guess that this guy sucked.

This whole concept in LOTR is one of my favourite parts of the whole book. “Evil fucks up because evil people fundamentally cannot imagine that others are not motivated by the same things as them” is another theme that feels relevant right now

On one hand: neat On the other hand: oof

They could've just used ms paint. A thing you want with placeholder assets is for them to be obviously placeholder assets, so that they'll be caught by devs/QA *before* they ship to players. This isn't a new thing; special placeholder/missing assets have been standard for decades.

It's nice that someone still understands soft power. It sucks that it's China, but if it saves lives I'm all for it.

At some point my gaming group is going to do a season of Thirsty Sword Lesbians and, like, while I own the book and I'm looking forward to it, I also have to say I don't completely understand the game. Some thoughts 🧵

Morbid irony in the US and Israel destroying the very peoples and civilisations that first established the Siyar - the international laws establishing distinction between civilian and combatant, the protection of infrastructure for life in warfare, and the sanctity of places of worship and healing.

Bio of a Space Tyrant This was before I fully realized what an enormous creep Piers Anthony was, though it went a ways towards convincing me of that fact.

My new video's here. THREE DEAD GIRLS I LOVE is out now on Nebula. At two and a half hours, it's my longest and strangest video ever. It's also my favourite thing I've made. I hope you'll set aside an evening for it. nebula.tv/videos/sarah...

if this business plan made any sense, AI proponents should be paying journalists hand over fist. i would also hate that but at least it would make sense

"This story was originally published on April 4, 2025. It has been updated to include more recent developments." This one is going to become an Onion "No Way To Prevent This" recurring feature, isn't it.

Everyone posts this passage, but Melville follows it up with a dose of class-consciousness for good measure:

*aggressive violin glissando*

I don't let myself get more than mildly disappointed when it turns out some important leader was a douchebag, because (a) they're all shitty to one degree or another, but more importantly (b) the important thing is and has always been the movement and the cause. One man cannot change the world.

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

Based on what I've seen cross-posted here recently, people who post awful takes on LinkedIn all have titles/status lines that are 100% telling on themselves. I'm guessing the correlation goes both ways? Like if your tagline is "poop eater at the poop factory" you're not posting quality.

Tapping the sign again

I can pretty confidently say, as someone who has (as a civilian) been involved with training for naval shipboard damage control: 30 hours is too many hours.
