I'm not really superstitious about anything, except the computer, which must be restarted if it has been on too long, to cleanse it of bad or negative energies

We're making Mandrake, a rural life sim set in a beguiling new world inspired by British history and folklore. Now we're not in the Fallen London universe (Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies), we had the opportunity to add sunshine! And trees! 😮 🧵 #wishlistwednesday

In the '80s and '90s, CJ Cherryh questioned and critiqued our assumptions about how gender is expressed and understood, creating science fiction narratives that reflect trans identity and experience. It's time for a retrospective. reactormag.com/exploring-ge...

my ideal phone is just the top cover bit of the new flips/razrs. I don't even need the inside of the phone. Just give me a little square phone.

trans women are a plot by Big Woman to make more women

❤️ Wouldn't surprise me one bit if Italians are the ones finally doing it

You know what, fair play to Scooby Doo villains. They walk into a room dressed as a ghost, see a talking dog on its hind legs making the world’s biggest sandwich and somehow manage to stay in character.

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL IS GOING TO HAPPEN

Re-upping this again, please spread far and wide:

This month all my tech is breaking - motherboard died, fixed that and literally the next morning my zflip 6 broke (the screen died after less than 3 months of use, I am trading it the fuck in) and now my PC has a case short cos a full size atx is a squeeze so tomorrow is case transplant surgery.

We were going to do another big marketing stunt for THE TOXIC AVENGER UNRATED. Instead, Toxie, whose life was upended by crushing medical bills, has joined forces with Undue Medical Debt to erase at least $5 million in un-payable medical debt for those who need it most. Learn more:

The HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine programme has had an astounding impact, and I urge all who are eligible to get immunised.

Absolutely fuck Air Canada, solidarity with everyone on strike, this is such an appalling state of affairs. I thought I had a working understanding of the grievances & demands but it’s so much worse than I thought.

I don't know why this lad is building a subterranean city for cats, but I'm all for it.

It happened recently. *Buys something* The timeline in every social media:

Ah good, it seems that all my technology has chosen this month to die. Woke up this morning to my z-flip screen dead except for some flickering. Just spent 2 hours negotiating the labyrinth of samsung tech support. I heard the screens were fragile, but I've had this thing for three months, jesus

YESSSS we even got the after-the-pond-swim-she-just-saw-pemberley-for-the-first-time shot

Today I shall be replacing my motherboard 😅 I've been building my own PCs for years, but I'll be a bundle of nerves til it posts successfully.

LOOK AT IT RIGHT NOW

Take your inner child to work day

So good to see Arkane's workers push for this! Also a great example of one of the core benefits of unionization, which is just "creating a structure for discussion and systems to make collective decisions." Always much harder to get action at scale like this if there isn't already organization.

Sadly can never seem to find the original creator of this, but it makes me laugh every time. ;D

RELEASED We can now confirm that every arrestee from the Lift The Ban sign-holding action has been released. None have been charged. Hundreds of the arrestees were taken to police cells. Hundreds were processed in pop-up gazebos after queuing for hours. www.wedonotcomply.org

Important snuggle update

My pc has been kinda intermittently fucky for a while. Pulled an m.2 out that I thought had gone bad but the problems continued. Today, I had another poke and it looks like the motherboard is falling :(
