Hot take: I feel that Mina The Hollower disabling achievements if you have accessibility/difficulty-reducing options on isn't an accessibility issue. It's an issue with achievements. They've broken people. Lots of folks can't enjoy a game unless they fill an arbitrary list of metrics tickboxes.

idk why ppl talking about the spurs and the knicks tbh but I do like seeing old footage of black ppl doing nerd shit like this. unless this was some kinda ad, which I don't know, stuff like this is far more reflective of black people I knew growing up than the myth that we ain't do shit like this.

nah but the mishima zaibatsu and red ribbon are ones I'd wear a button for ngl dskjsadjklf. were it not for the possibility of ppl thinking I support genai scamtech I'd also say the same for the skynet one as well. what's missing here is something for dr.robotnik/eggman b/c that'd go hard too lol.

I don't think this is "an indicator of public opinion" so much as an indicator of where corporations and those invested in a resurgent queerphobic crusade want public opinion to be. Meanwhile, protests for trans rights continue to occur even in the UK as the media stubbornly ignores them.

Legally distinct fighting game moves

If I see one more person say that if people aren't breaking the law, they won't be arrested at protests, I think I may actually dissolve into a puddle of goo.

tangential to this article, but my rule for Boro's animation in Wanderstop was we were going to lean away from 'fat character' stereotypes. no jiggling, no lumbering, none of that shit. Let his personality shine. @anabell.zone, who did most of his anims, did such a great job bringing him to life.

This is good context even if I wish they went harder on the "Lia Thomas was a good swimmer who got better with age and experience both before and after HRT." Trans people should be allowed to be very good at sports if they train hard and are very good at sports! Who cares if it was a down year!

If Coffin doesn't want get the help she needs a young trans girl will start Pride Month homeless. Please share Juniper's need, help her! #MutualAid #Helpsky 💸💕 #KoFi

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

when it comes to the idea of "democratizing art" the thing that will actually do this tenfold is giving everybody more free time and not having to work to survive

it's my 40th birthday! so in lieu of the birthday sash that you put money on, here's my link. mostly I'm just trying to bullshit and have fun today, so that's the vibe here. if you gotta choose between me and someone who is about to be homeless PLEASE help them instead. otherwise, Thank You!~

Do not let politicians at the back and call of data harvesting corporations fool you, laws like the OSA or any Age verification laws are not to protect anyone, they are to surveil your online existence and censor whatever the government doesn't want known.

It's not really that hard to say "sex is a spectrum, people who fall outside of the binary model aren't 'abnormalities', some people change sex who gives a fuck" and get on with it, but that would require an actual commitment to opposing conservatives on this front.

I’m Emoria Weidner, I’m an author. I wrote a trans horror-romance called Aftertaste, and the original version is free to read. See why “it is a strong mixture of the terror of dysphoria alongside pure queer joy” - @imnobunnywhoareyou.bsky.social Print ed. TBA archiveofourown.org/works/79835336

can't wait for someone who isn't a trans girl to be awarded some prestigious award for writing a poem about their sexual connection to their first messenger bag.

Also wasn’t like Patagonia the company that was owned by super progressive billionaires who the sold it? Kinda shows that no matter how progressive a company may start, it will always end up serving capital, not people.

I recognize my minor crashout for many of my favorite games being ruined by the decisions of fuckass ceos could come across as like judgey or w/e. that's not my intention. I'm personally trying to stick to a standard wrt the media I engage w/and it's getting hard ngl but ultimately you can do w/e.

My Sweetheart is getting back into leather work and needs work. If you would like a hand made leather piece from a small Queer Crafter, just drop her a DM. Collars, Cuffs, Belts, Bracers, Pouches, Bags, Cases.. etc. She can even Laser Etch in Words, Names, Symbols, runes, whatever.

breh I'm so fucking tired of modern gaming and this fucking push to have genai in everything. I just quit hsr and genshin over hoyo's ai fuckery and now sega wants to implement genai into phantasy star online 2: ngs. ngl I'm hurt. it's like if you have morals, you just can't play shit anymore.

A reminder for anyone who needs it today. 💜

Im sorry for reposting the goal so much but I’m practically scared and begging at this point since I have basically until the end of the month to reach this goal before I’m literally screwed. We are only about 23% there but please consider sharing or donating ;-; thank you ♥️🙏

There is a grotesqueness of genAI in that we'll have these faux philosophical arguements focusing whether it's really art or not meanwhile irl it is only able to marginally function due to transnational exploited labour and requires an obscene ecologically damaging infrastructure to facilitate it

"oh, I'm just a poor famous industry director/game designer, I have no resources to make my art, help me, AI, save me!" - meanwhile my unemployed bro is out here turning into a renaissance man by the power of youtube tutorials

Please, I just need to fill 2 more slots 😭

I'm really excited to share Automaton Heart with everyone tomorrow.

We're a union of trans workers who provide gender-affirming care to our community, and our management has been ignoring our demands for rights. We set up a GoFundMe to provide relief to our members who have been pushed to a strike. Please consider signal boosting! www.gofundme.com/f/support-re...

May I remind you folks that Bex is at their most vulnerable right now? May I point out that their requests are rarely FULLY met? May I enlighten you on how bad things are in the healthcare space for Black queer folks? How we often get denied healthcare and pain medication? HELP BEX!! See links!

since apparently JKR is spouting nonsense about "gametes" again, here is my in depth primer on why anti-trans groups have become so obsessed with gametes & why the actual science does not support their claims (no paywall): juliaserano.medium.com/why-are-gend...

More of this.

Boycott Uline, a shipping supplies company owned by the Uihlein family. When you buy their products, you're financing right-wing cruelty and corruption.

it took a phenomenal, expensive, coordinated effort to get from north carolina losing 400 million dollars & a gubernatorial race over one bathroom ban to felony hand-washing, citizen bounty hunters, and “we reserve the right to make you people piss outside” in 10 years.

letting facial hair grow out so it can be removed permanently is like some fucking weighted clothing training type shit for a trans girl frfr asdlkjflkjasdfaljksd. but when this shit done a bitch bout to be as smooth as piccolo probably is lmfao. show up in the new face pics like
