I can’t help but write out of order until a certain point where I can now feel the flow of how things are meant to go. Then I switch

Meta has a history of torturing their moderators and providing NOTHING in the way of mental health care. How do I know? Because I used to be a moderator for Meta and I got a $3,500 settlement for the PTSD they gave me. When we tried to unionize, they moved their moderation to the Philippines.

It’s getting there…it’s getting there!! #doodle page almost full! #artist

Can vouch for Lamplight City and Rosewater as being really good oldschool Point & Click Adventure games, some very excellent voice acting too.

if Israel was going to commit preemptive strikes on Iran, then yes because she was going to support Israel to the hilt regardless and them launching attacks requires American military protection. also, I mean…

this is why I got into Black feminist theory. the research on sexual violence was VERY white when I first started researching like 15-20 years ago. in the West, gender is VERY racialized

My children don’t understand why their home has turned into rubble, or why they sleep among broken glass and dust. This photo isn’t just a passing moment…it is our daily reality. We desperately need your support to secure safe shelter. - Sama’a 🤍 @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/157569

This project is fascinating to me—an excellent book and it began with an open call, not an exclusive curation mandate. A grab bag of tons of writers from different backgrounds who saw the call and responded with whatever insight was meaningful to them. And it works! I like the essay I wrote for it.

It’s so weird that not so long ago, like, less than 20 years, the progressive feminist position was gender de-segregation in sport and other male dominated spaces. Then the terfs came along and convinced the mainstream that the most progressive feminist position is that women are weak and feeble.

Exciting times on Anchor Island as we check #kakapo nests for hatching. We’re letting eggs hatch in nests to reduce management intensity. Last night I found these two newly-hatched chicks in Konini’s nest, along with a fertile egg I carried back under a lunar eclipse. #kakapo2026 #conservation

I'm very grateful for the opportunity to be amongst all these wonderful people. There's a lot of lovely stuff in here for everyone.

Great news! Members of De Collectieve Beweging want to match the next 2.5K euros with a 'Union Leader' pledge of 2.5K! 💰💰💰 So if you help us reach 27.5K euros, they will help All Will Rise reach its next Kickstarter goal at 30K: romantic missions! More below! www.kickstarter.com/projects/spe...

EXTREMELY open to non-games work too. Aside from my technical background, I’m also a published author many times over (comics, prose, and nonfiction), community organizer, and propmaker.

bit the bullet and got myself Mewgenics - I really need something to take my mind off things

Yesterday, the state of Utah banned four more books, bringing the number of state-sanctioned book bans to 27. These have to be removed from every public library. bookriot.com/utah-bans-fo...

at the heart of every AI controversy is the question of consent

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

Down with imperialism! Freedom for Iran, US, and beyond!

legit cried several times playing this game, absolutely beautiful and fun to play (not just for crying, I promise)

In May '25, a beloved Australian games website was sold off. It went dark then, a month later, rose from the dead but stuffed full of gambling links and AI authors. It wasn't the first time, or the last time, this exact thing had happened. And it's still happening. My months-long investigation 👇

Holding a sign that had been made by her late mother in her 90s, Newton resident Susan Mirsky joined hundreds of protestors on the Boston Common this past weekend to condemn the joint U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran on Saturday.

I finished Blackwell Epiphany a decade ago and I miss the series and its characters.

it is more important than ever to support art and artists who tell their story, or the stories that are in their hearts. art will heal our souls. supporting doesn't mean giving money, either. if you can, that's excellent. but in reality, if all you can do is share--SHARE!

These sanctions ramped up in the 2000s with the US citing concerns over a nuclear program, despite it being for civilian use at the time. Iran's central bank and financial institutions were targeted, further isolating the country and restricting its ability to develop and grow economically.

Then the Iran-Iraq war happened which was devastating for the country, but further consolidated power around the Islamic Republic. The US, unhappy with the consolidation of power, started to sanction the country, with the aim to exclude it from the global economy and force concessions.

While this restored sovereignty to Iran, the final outcome was a theocratic government based on clerical rule. They consolidated power by dismantling the monarchy (obviously), but then went after liberal and leftist revolutionaries who wanted a democratic transition rooted in Iranian sovereignty.

This culminated in mass protests across the country calling for an end to the monarchy and US influence, which led to the Shah fleeing and the Embassy Hostage Crisis where evidence was found of the US trying to suppress the revolution. Eventually, the Islamic Republic was established in 1979

This led to the consolidation of oil rights under the British and Americans, while the restored monarchy (not a democracy btw) enacted a brutal campaign of political repression with full US backing and funding. While those that benefited became pro-US, the majority of the population were anti-US.

In 1951, Mohammad Mosaddegh was elected and the oil industry was nationalized, with the unfair profit sharing agreement removed. This was of course unacceptable to the British, who partnered with the US to launch Operation Ajax in 1953, a coup to overthrow Mosaddegh and restore the monarchy.

In 1941, the UK and the USSR jointly invaded Iran to secure access to oil during WW2, dismissing Iran's sovereignty and control, and leading to the installation of a new leader. Iran then started experimenting with democracy, to move away from the monarchy that had constrained efforts in the past.

To understand what's happening in Iran today, you have to know about the history of Western intervention in the country. In the early 1900s, the British secured oil rights in the country until 1993, where they only agreed to pay Iran 16% of the total profits. This was seen as an unfair deal. 🧵

Every once in awhile I think about this Nancy comic and it makes me laugh every single time. Absolute perfection.
