Ahhhh such a fun cat-filled day day in Onomichi!! My highlights of the day were in Cat Alley on Mt. Senkoji. First, our lunch at a place called Owl House Cafe with a friendly cat named Anko who sat on my lap for a bit 💕 After lunch we found this teeny tiny bakery (where we pet another cat!)

He just tweeted it out …

It gets you 20 likes from people who will turn on you the second a black person appears in your games and earns you tons of skepticism from everyone else. Not a good trade!

unbelievably grim to see Valve announce a delightful and exciting compact Linux box approximately 15 seconds before RAM became the more expensive material in the known universe.

Oh WIGJ (Women in Game jobs, they can rebrand all they like, but I remember), the predatory, imo (but I have evidence) fraudulent group that upheld a sexist abuser for DECADES (those poor women), who do not pay people & give WIG awards to men? 🫠🔪 Not at all surprised you got that response.
