The other night I had a nightmare where I was in a personal discussion in a DM and someone from outside the DM emoji reacted to something

Pause for blue.

Listen to the music of the cards in Divinuet, where deterministic music accompanies tarot readings 👁️🔮🎶 Wishlist on Steam now! store.steampowered.com/app/4565530/...

Music not subject to industry astroturfing: - Call your bank and ask to be placed on hold - Songs about birds you learn at summer camp - Public-domain recordings including the Voyager Record - Rhythmically kicking a hollow log in the woods

this sounds so great. i think the idea of taking stories traditionally associated with 'epic scale' and making them heartfelt and lo-fi through the creative artifice of people with real good taste is the way forward for all kinds of media, especially games www.nytimes.com/2026/04/14/s...

new bucket list unlocked for my adhd craft friends:

If you’re a games writer interested in reviewing/writing about this game but don’t have the budget to do it, DM me.

[getting rejected at the bar] that's fine. actually my boys and i were thinking of diminishing and going into the west

'My Little Pony: friendship is magic' lasted twice as long as the Confederacy.

One hopes images like this, when paired with the knowledge that everything we burn ends up in that tiny slice of gasses, would help contextualize why we need to move away from energy sources we set on fire. One hopes. Climate communicators should make some hay of this.

SOURCE CALL: I'm looking to talk to trans and gender non-conforming farmers and ag-workers, broadly defined. Share with anyone who may be interested, reach me on at henrycarnell [at] proton [dot] mail or at signal hcarnell.57

once again processing the horrors, tune is "Josie-O" from the repertoire of great Kentucky fiddler Art Stamper

Hey if you're a young adult in the US pay very close attention to the moment because in shockingly few years the popular account of who did or said or supported what right now will be at times unrecognizable. Don't let that break your brain or just you, as a person.

(smugly) actually, we're totally useless

(to the tune of "I'm In the Jailhouse Now" from hit 2000 film O Brother, Where Art Thou) I'm in the repo now

Honestly your text size could still stand to be bigger

I've wished for Arab-made games about Arab mythology for so long, and despite assisting on the project I still can't believe there's one swinging for the fences this hard. House of Hikmah is something very needed in a time where the world would rather erase us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZTu...

Some lovely friends of mine are getting piled on by MAGA and bots for a new folk song they wrote. He says the balance has been positive (he's even using some choice comments for promotion, lol), but more listens/likes/positive comments would still probably make his day.

I agree that it's better to understand the systems that we critique, but the common counter just isn't true: learning about how LLM tech works doesn't shine the light of god leading a person inexorably to alignment with its goals, its social, political, civic implications.

Language games, status signaling, and identity formation are something that OTHER people do. Not me, though.

Vancouver people: im volunteering at this free underground martial arts class for queer and trans people if you're LGBTQ+ and want to learn practical self defence that works from people with real experience fighting, reply to this, i'll send you the details www.instagram.com/p/DWvpYwcAZbU/

He is riven

In 2000, John Waters donated 372 pieces of his art collection to the Baltimore Museum of Art. They named a rotunda after him in their gallery. He requested an all-gender restroom be named for him instead. #BOTD

Firestorm does so much important work for their community, including becoming a mutual aid disaster relief hub during the aftermath of Hurricane Helene: www.them.us/story/queer-...

Unprecedented levels of grass-touching (sound up)

It's just not plausible that someone is teleporting into a waffle house because waffle houses are anchored sites of hyperreality. I don't think tarot even works in them. If he was claiming that he spatially displaced into a denny's that'd be worth investigating

My neighbors are awesome but if they could gain like a 70% greater appreciation for old-time clawhammer banjo at 11PM that would be really good for me. I'll even play two finger thumb-lead style if that's more what moves you

it’s no contest

This has been a slightly open secret for a minute, but I just wanted to announce: as of this week I'm joining the @cavesofqud.com team to help out with some absolutely wildly audacious UX + interface work that we'll all be learning much more about over the coming months. Live and drink!

It's not sexy, but rote practice is actually really important for skills acquisition!

Had a dream where I found enough Hasseblad parts to feel the thrill of the discovery but not so many that it wasn't going to be financially crushing to complete the camera DREAM SEERS AND OTHER ORACLES OF BLUESKY please tell me what this means

THIS THREAD. i don't care what happens to me. i've gotten everything i've wanted from this life, being able to transition saved me and now that i know what life is about i have to keep these kids safe to experience becoming themselves as well. THEY DESERVE TO GROW UP TO BECOME TRANS ADULTS.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

DON'T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN 🏳️‍⚧️ #art #tdov #transart

Finally done. I was able to talk with @pfrazee.com, as well as a handful of other folks with insight on the situation. #atmosphereconf trezy.com/blog/the-mar...

As a [piggy], I want [slop in my trough] so that [oink oink].

cringe is an opp tbh. if they can get you to cringe at the earnestness of people who are on your side guess who benefits

hey does anyone happen to know any punk musicians who might be interested in making music for a video game

Why would I ever want to "inject" nuance. No, thanks!

No UX tip today. Instead I ask y'all to support the folks at Epic impacted by the layoffs. Repost their posts. Share resources. Offer job positions and love. #gamedev #ux

re: current (timely) thinking about the WPA, I always enjoy poking around this map. Schools, post offices, sewage infrastructure - in small towns especially, so much of what makes those places work was built in this way during this time livingnewdeal.org/map/

well, this looks great and timely beltpublishing.com/products/ame...

Honestly if you want to support me during this lay off the best way to do that is to donate to my fundraiser for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund!!! That would be the best way to help right now. tilt.fyi/ZPj3g06cos

Ambrosia Sky: Act One is on sale right now, as well! 20% off! And a reminder that Act Two (the final act!) will be a fee update to the game, so now’s a great time to grab it store.steampowered.com/app/3580160/...

I plan on playing a lot of banjo. also vintage story

Hey everyone, I wanted to share an update. I do finally have a little more part time work starting soon, but we were never able to get out from under the extra $5k it cost to get the car back and we're in a pretty dire spot. I'm so sorry to rattle the jar again, but any help is dearly appreciated. ❤️

In central PA it was mostly civil war battlefields and coal mines, but also, one blessed time: a pretzel factory

So cool that people are still discovering this #Sinners syllabus, published by the African American Intellectual History Society, and composed by Jemar Tisby & Keisha N. Blain. Enjoy!
