Protest these companies because they benefit from the ongoing genocide, not because a rich white guy lost his job.

Truly feels like hell to be lying here in pain during the final days of a game jam

yes, and also men have relied on women partnering with them out of necessity. now more women have bank accounts, financial independence & options. unfortunately men are reacting with anger to what is essentially a skills gap

This petition has just passed a million signatures. Compulsory ID will put far too much power in the hands of the Government. Even if you think you can trust Starmer (?!) just consider for a moment how a Tory or Reform Government would abuse that power. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Forum mods quickly learn who habitual line steppers are and the answer for them is almost always “no” & it’s fine to swiftly suspend and ban them for anything even questionably close to the line. Wasting your time with semantics is entertainment to them so they should be summarily destroyed imo.

Ok, we “saved” Jimmy Kimmel. Now can we bring that same energy to migrants, trans people, BIPOC and women? Or are we just reserving that for rich white guys?

i forgot to tag. sorry, im very upset at the constant rejections and now the scam at the same time this isnt urgent or anything like that i just need to work 😭 #VNDev #indiedev #gamedev

If you’re struggling with Long Covid, MCAS, POTS or other energy limiting chronic illness… I’ve put together a series of guides to try and help. These conditions are poorly understood and more often than not we end up learning from our fellow patients. Mega 🧵 of resources

Keep pressuring Microsoft to end all complicity! As a consumer, boycott Microsoft products whenever possible and join the Xbox boycott.

Microsoft has terminated unit 8200’s access to select cloud storage and AI services, making it the first giant tech company to terminate any services to apartheid Israel at least since the beginning of its Gaza genocide. Read more: loom.ly/aS6eYUQ #NoTechForApartheid #NoTechForGenocide

Again, I recommend moving away from and being mindful of using of TikTok. Oracle, one of the most privacy-violating, pro-surveillance, genocide-supporting, pro-policing corporations to exist, is taking over co-ownership of TikTok.

btw trying to get human beings to stop having niche kinks or to stop liking sex fantasties is like trying to get teenagers to stop having sex. the more you prohibit it the more they do is, and the more unhealthily they do it, and the more they are susceptible to abuse within it. please stop trying

So it's still daylight hours for now and I was able to inspect the damage. I think this damage is intentional, and I have a suspicion on who may have done it.

41% funded! Thank you all for your generosity! If we get the base goal met, our first stretch goal will have OFF creator and superstar belgian comic book artist Mortis Ghost work on Blanksword with us! Some people thought it was a joke but no, it's for real! Please keep it going!!!

reminder that Disney+ has still been on the Palestinian BDS boycott list for over a year. You should continue the pressure and continue withholding your money from them.

BREAKING: the Sapporo Family Court has ruled that the fifth provision of the law for changing one's legal gender, which stipulates that the appearance of applicants' genitals should match with the gender/sex they seek to register, is unconstitutional. (1/?)

If you want to know why your rights to free speech are constantly under threat it’s because white people only ever mobilise like this for white people.
