My PyCon talk is up on youtube: I try to teach the fundamentals of CSS and show off a bunch of neat features in 30 minutes. Written for folks who never properly learned it, so if you're new to web dev and can make a proper style tag, it might help you! www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIEs...

Trans rights are human rights, no matter what the bigots on the Supreme Court may say.

Today I was discussing Executive Dysfunction with some folks, and how in our household we call it "The Sits" I decided to make an info poster. It's based on my personal experience with it. Yes, the person is me 😆 #neurodivergent #memes #executivedysfunction

every trans person is simultaneously half their age and twice their age

For the 99th time, Donald John Trump isn't going to see you referring to him as subhuman because of his weight. Your fat friends will. So good job being as offensive as possible without changing anything. Is it easier to lash out at random fatties than tell your wh*te uncle he's in a cult?

It costs 0$ to Repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. This is one of my latest knee braces! They are available for pre-order alongside other patterns! Which one is your fave? Store: Bibipins.com

HAPPY JUNETEENTH!!!! ✊🏾❤️🖤💚 🎥: @blairimani.bsky.social

I'm doing #SteamNextFest write ups over on mastodon. I won't be cross posting them, but if you're interested, the thread starts here: ngmx.com/@pathunstrom... (Mostly, if I posted it, I found it interesting or surprising.)

Destiny 2 devs bid farewell to the game they spent a decade making aftermath.site/destiny-2-deve...

This was perfection

I'm an evil transfem (puts down a boundary)

ICYMI: There’s a new @humblebundle.com from @nostarchpress.bsky.social with 15 #Python related titles!! Grab ‘Python: the Good Stuff’ for just $36 and a percentage of the proceeds goes to supporting the PSF 💝🐍 www.humblebundle.com/books/python...

I was told for two years straight that putting demos in your pipeline was an unreasonable and infeasible practice yet every game I'm interested in for these announcements has a demo. interesting!

For the good of the entire open source community and all open source contributors, these people need to be sued into the ground

I painted the trans sea.

Final Fantasy VII and Silent Hill 2 are the two most overrated games of all time, and despite them being good games, neither is the best entry in its series and neither warrants the absurd praise it's gotten over the decades.

Yellow paint/tape was a smart way to direct player attention to interactable items and parts of the environment without breaking immersion.

Feel as though people will truly never understand his death. He was killed for being an Indigenous Queer Man with a Transgender Partner. Every single one of those signifiers on axis/intersections/marginalizations is extremely important, but it is in tandem all at once not just because he “Gay”.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

You ever just play a game written by a friend? That shit's the best.

There's this rule in Swords Without Master that is kind of a big deal, because it breaks traditional GMing advice.† It's why I'm skeptical about #ttrpg aphorisms and give the side-eye to most anything purporting to be a universally good GMing tip.

There are many reasons @roguelike.club hasn’t even really had serious discussions about “should we return in-person?” but this is an important one. Travel is expensive; event venues are frequently inaccessible; per the WHO, we are still in a pandemic. (As you may know, I myself am housebound)

Whoever told everyone that the TIE in TIE fighter stood for twin ion engine was so full of shit It's clearly called that because you need to be into shibari to pilot one

There is something brutally psychically injurious to being constantly told "just do good work and you'll be successful" while watching people who do the most dogshit work possible do all the succeeding.

*literally tons of research* Neurotypical pple have a bias against autistic people, and struggle to understand them. Autistic ppl communicate well with each other & aren't biased against NTs. *researchers' conclusions* Obviously, autistic people have severe social communication deficits

as an indie dev, i think it is becoming clear that your minimum hardware spec should be a potato from ten years ago if you want to find a player base

I desperately need to mute the phrase "during Covid." Or even worse, "back during Covid." It's still out there making people seriously ill, so I guess you mean back in those long ago days of .... RIGHT FUCKING NOW?

You know, have you actually read #iHunt or the companion RPG? I realize a lot of my Bluesky followers don't know me from that. You really should. We're doing so much with it. Right now, we're shopping both TV and film projects and we're in talks with some REALLY cool people about it.

When I want to get nerds especially wound up I make the point that all science fiction is actually fantasy. And then to wind up everyone else, I point out that all fiction is actually fantasy.

Recently, one of my closest friends, the funny, talented and kind @ettin.itch.io, lost his mother, after acting as his family's primary care support for a decade. She's why he has a career as a writer. He is trying to cover the costs of her cremation, and needs our support: gofund.me/40f37091a

why do all the apps now have to act like the creepy guy who interrupts you at the library to ask you what you’re reading, who wants this

no gods no kings no masters no LLM contributions please

This is also why I've always had a problem with people chastising black people for voting when even if 100% of black people vote we are 13% of the country. While that is enough to sway a majority vote when combined with other demographics, we are in no way capable of voting out discrimination.

Job hunting in a hostile environment. ✨

My biggest conspiracy theory is that telling working class people that engagement in the arts is a middle / upper class thing and to do so makes you a class traitor is a psyop to make them disengaged with themselves and the world and the beauty of being human, so that they accept worse treatment.

Python Tip #111 (of 365): Don't use the __class__ attribute. 🧵 To get the name of any object's class, you can use: type(my_obj).__name__ You might occasionally see this instead: my_obj.__class__.__name__ I don't recommend that approach. #Python #DailyPythonTip

an underrated game dev skill IMO is being able to realize “this person and I have been discussing (thing) for months, and yet i think we have slightly different versions of (thing) in our heads. let’s get together and talk about that in excruciating detail”

but they don't love wlw romance. it's a very big problem in publishing. straight women hate wlw in fiction in a similar way to straight men hating mlm in fiction.

As I bond with other transfeminine people about similarities in harm from certain life experiences, the poem "A Prayer for Athena" I wrote several years ago keeps coming to mind

Design concept for game that we ended up going in a different direction for but I like this art I made so I'm posting it✨🍄

To everyone out there who defends and encourages reliance on generative AI: I want you to explain to me how software systems that do this is not just defensible but something good and to be encouraged. Go on. Explain it to me, right now. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

I've talked about this here before, but my experience as a journalism instructor is that Grammarly makes students' writing worse. This was true even several years ago, pre-GenAI hype. The mushy, even incoherent sentences it created were what caused me to start warning them off it.

Deus Ex Machina (God from The Machine) is such a cool sounding term until you actually research it a little and learn it's just ancient theatre critic jargon and "The machine" in question is a crane

New sentence I have just spoken aloud to a cat: "Act like you've been here before."

“Please enjoy the museum”: Relooted is OUT NOW! Please share!

They truly do not make games like this anymore. A handheld card game based on the years of the show’s English version releasing in North America by a video game studio in Montreal, Canada. They just do not make games like this anymore.
