Gonna just say, if it's this easy to protest against the monolith that is Disney. Then there is no excuse for people to be clinging to Harry Potter. Like, if the needle can be moved against Disney, people can make it move against JK Rowling. Stop the flow of money into her accounts,

So happy we had this conversation (it's been due for a long time). "No matter how hard you try to gentrify the internet or to control computers, there's this fundamental layer, the core of it, that's not control. It's too late to take that away."

Yep, there it is. More to come, I can only assume.

I really enjoyed this conversation with @alienmelon.bsky.social and look forward to following this up with what I’ve learned from them.

I finally found a way to combine my love of flowers, cultural history and games criticism. 🌸

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

With everything going on in my family, I haven’t had nearly as many opportunities to present fem as I’d like in 2025. But during the moments I’ve gotten to this year, I’ve finally really started to see ✨her✨ I have no unrealistic beauty standards for myself. I just want to light up with this joy.

Hey, entire non-US games industry - @kyleor.land is good and trustworthy people.

We're looking for a pixel animator to help season the graves 👀 Unity experience definitely a plus!

For all the folks mad that GDC isn't what they want - it's not ever been for us. We're not the customer even if we wish we were. If we want something that is for us, we're going to have to build it ourselves.

this morning I made a joke about the rapture and someones quote was about how all transes should hide for the day to convince the right we've all been raptured as a spiritual gotcha and I think people on here have fallen too far into a "everything is a political game where I'm scoring points" hole

such important points. and if you need a reminder that *this* is not a done deal, press play.

I've been trying to understand why this isn't generating as much fury as it should, and i think it's because there is a fundamental belief among many americans that the military can pretty much do whatever (which isn't entirely inaccurate.) that said, what the actual fuck.

Sharing this excerpt from my foreword to Alaa Abd el-Fattah's extraordinary collection of prison writings, "You Have Not Yet Been Defeated." Stay tuned... lithub.com/naomi-klein-...

The BDS movement salutes the Italian trade unions, students movements, grassroots groups & people of conscience who have made this unprecedented act of meaningful solidarity possible — & calls on workers across Europe & the world to follow suit. Escalate BDS pressure & #DisruptComplicity now!

Historic: Italy is on strike, disrupting business as usual & protesting complicity in Israel’s genocide & apartheid against Palestinians, bringing major cities to a halt. Hundreds of thousands are demonstrating across 80 cities & towns, from south to north, blocking roads, ports & railway stations.

We are trapped in Gaza with no way out, stuck between bombing, displacement & hunger😭 Food in the markets is extremely expensive & impossible to afford💔 I need your help to provide food & essentials for my family🙏🏻 🙏🏻 Your donations are my only income 🔗 gofund.me/4564dbd50 ✅ @mommunism.bsky.social

Love how quickly this industry responds to this event versus when the BDS movement explicitly called upon them to respond to a genocide. 🙄

Asking again! If you are a disabled player impacted by the recent rising prices of games, systems, and devices, feel free to respond!

Three elections of note on Tuesday, in 3 days: —Arizonans decide the successor of Raul Grijalva. —Dems are hoping to flip the mayor's office in Mobile. —The GOP defends a state House seat in Georgia. Details: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

This is a nifty write up of both sets of novels—go read GENERATION LOSS!—plus an interview with me about why Aud, with her “slivers of strangeness” is a “unique character who could enliven a book in any genre”. Quite right!

BUT WE MUST THROW THIS GROUP UNDER THE BUS OR WE CAN'T WIN Huh. But the other side, who's also throwing under the bus can win by doing that. Maybe you could win by NOT doing that. Or you don't deserve to win.

Look, we have to throw you under the bus to win but AFTER we win then, then we'll uplift you But the thing is, in all of history, when has that uplift happened.

At-will employment is to blame for this, our employment shouldn't be so fragile that one coordinated email campaign can end it. uvw-cwa.org

DO NOT RSVP FOR A PROTEST, ESPECIALLY NOW. SERIOUSLY.

Disney has lost nearly $4 Billion in three days from combined stock price collapse and cancelled subscriptions.

we live in an increasingly fake and stupid world thats so disconnected from reality that its basically pointless arguing on all the individual points it'll drive you insane so i will simply say. lol

everyone has already got the explicit discourse on this covered so i will simply add its insanely funny to say this as the developer of games where you kill like. ten thousand guys

I'm exhausted (pick a reason!), so while I pop my head up for a sec: Unwinnable gives me a very strong variety of essays & critiques to go alongside v nice layouts & covers each month. If you have a tablet of some kind, the issues look absolutely beautiful. An easy sub to support

It's still so crazy (in a good way) to me that these games I worked on 25 years ago are still finding new audiences today. Warms my heart, and I'm super glad that the @nightdivestudios.bsky.social folks made the SS1 & SS2 remasters.

trans rights bitches

We need more adorable pics of this cat.
