My big personal goal with making a blog post once a week is to get it done before Friday. That's to prove to myself that it can just be a fling of a thing, no thoughts just post. Anyway, under the wire, some newsletter recs: bzedan.com/blog/inbox-d...

Jim Henson designed owls and you can never convince me otherwise

re: the elephants drawn by people who had never seen elephants, it is ESSENTIAL to click through to the master interactive, where you can enlarge each successively worse elephant (and link to the original source!!)

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE HAPPY HELLO SUNSHINE DAY!! ☀️☀️☀️

Disney+ canned two different stories about trans kids to crickets so they thought they could axe Kimmel Target canceled their Pride displays in 2023, nobody cared, so they thought they ended DEI If you don't protect the marginalized you're next But also? The marginalized DESERVE YOUR PROTECTION

Now seems like a fun time to remind everyone that GWAR did an NPR Tiny Desk concert

If you unsubscribed from Disney+, don’t resubscribe.

Apropos of nothing in particular, here's Walt Disney's testimony to HUAC in 1947, where he named employees he believed were communists, condemned labor unions, and accused "commie" groups, including the League of Women Voters, of smearing him. 🗃️ archive.org/details/walt...

The earth turns & the leaves change but our politicians don't. Efforts at the state & federal level are determined to restrict access to abortion by mail, but remember that YouAlwaysHaveOptions.com

As we boycott vile companies, a reminder that many US public libraries offer: 1) Ebooks & audiobooks via the Libby app. Pro tip: use the “notify me” tag to request your library add books by trans, disabled, & BIPOC authors! 2) TV & film streaming via Kanopy 3) Language learning via Mango 💙📚 And:

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

Even if it’s not what I end up using, I feel very smart for needing a map for something and playing Carcassone about it (we forgot the river mini expansion was in there, lol, whoops).

a *lot* of anti trans shit coming from the house toward the FY26 bill & i can’t tell you how much it matters for a lot of people to tell dem senators—amidst the week’s jenga tower of moral panics—not to compromise & that trans people are worth fighting for. info & script in the QT ⬇️⬇️ please call!

My THAUMATURGE playthrough has begun over on w.itch.io! I'll post a new journal entry each day up until the launch of the Art & System crowdfunding campaign on October 1, explaining the game as I go! Will Apprentice Bumble get turned into a page in Master Ramos' notebook – or worse? Follow along!

I was looking for a list of films that feature the LA Metro and stumbled on their archives YouTube and am delighted by the 1972-ness of this steam bus video. youtu.be/aZzCgHdY1V4

If I went to a website in 2001 and encountered a cookie-permissions popup, a join-our-newsletter popup, 5 animated ads, and autoplaying videos, I would have panicked thinking the both the site and now my computer was hacked. Now, that's just, like, the Washington Post homepage.

Posting early 90s minivans as a timeline cleanse.

yeah well maybe I'll just make my OWN social media*!! with blackjack, and hookers!!!!! * sticking a post-it note with some boobies drawn on it to different lamp posts downtown in the bustling dark of the night

We've passed 4000 magazines in our digital library! Every issue is cataloged and text-searchable, so it's easier than ever to do historical research with game magazines archive.gamehistory.org/folder/9a193... Here's a few recent highlights... 🧵

Anyway it’s Friday and I’ve been poking at alternatives to Picrew. As a result, alt-brand doll-making sites let you dress up Javert. As a treat. meiker.io/play/17610/o...

Let’s see if I’m allowed to post images today, even though this is my least favourite social media I am proud of what I made and do want to show it off.

To change is to be alive! We age, we learn, we evolve. What a beautiful gift we give ourselves, to wake up every day and love ourselves enough to make a new choice. To play and imagine and be curious.

Part of the "born this way" narrative I struggle with is it says "I've always been like this! Get over it!" versus "I am always growing and changing. We all deserve the chance to do that." A demand of static acceptance (easier to sell?) versus a call for grace and radical compassion

I’m Not a Robot, a game about solving CAPTCHAs, is out now! good luck :) > neal.fun/not-a-robot/

I tried to reply to this with a still image (I think it's pulling the gif that's in the post as the image) and it was just a blank box???? Is the image too big for you what is the problem. Anyway, I will try once more but if it fails I guess you will have to go to my blog to see, suck it.

Skeleton warriors is the new cellar door

Go read a comic. Log off. It's okay, log off. I care about you. Log off. If you think I am writing this directly to you, I am.

cancelling Disney+ and Hulu is well and good but it’s not a huge hit on an individual level but Disney adults? people who spend real money at the parks? you guys can make a dent, call ‘em up and tell them your vacation is postponed until they pull their heads out of their asses

The thing about streaming services is that their bread & butter are households that sub and forget - ppl who go months w/o actually using the product but enjoy having the option at their fingertips. They're the first to go in a boycott (it costs nothing to cancel) and they're the hardest to get back

HANG IN THERE BABY!! #art

As I have said often - the value of calling out hypocrisy isn't to shame the hypocrite into changing their behavior. It's to reaffirm our consensus reality, which is extremely important when they are trying to erase truth.

I am but a simple crepuscular bitch that loves a siesta
