Catan on Twitch!!!

Hm. What’s happening here? 🤔🤔

Well now that I have filed not one but TWO car insurance claims in less than a week, I would like one (1) break, please.

Maybe I’m just hormonal but @rawsignal.ca - you weren’t supposed to make me cry today.

@allayva.bsky.social how did I not follow you before, lady? HEEEYYYYYYYY!!!!

There’s a group of older (white haired) folks at the table next to me and they’ve ordered a round of mimosas. One of them just said to the other “we should count how many drinks we have on this trip” and they all laughed. Gleeful.

Being in your late 30s is sitting alone in a restaurant and realizing that at no point did you feel self conscious about eating at a restaurant alone.

I think what really pisses me off is you can say things like "Microsoft has laid off 9000 employees" and be technically correct However, it's a lot more accurate to say "Phil Spencer is personally responsible for taking food out of the mouths of 9000 people and their immediate families."

„Have you tried not being poor?“

One indie solo gamedev succeeded out of a million indie solo gamedevs - "simply do that" is great advice. Right up there with "simply win the lottery".

How am I supposed to get any work done today 🫠

I have basically given up finding a job in games at this point. I am working outside of games, making half of what I made working in games, doing a thing that fits my skill set but is not nearly as fulfilling as games and I assume I will just be doing this for a long long while.

workers deserve rights actually really hot take, i know, but companies shouldn't just do violence to us all the time to extract profit from our husks

Remember as you are watching your friends and colleagues get unceremoniously laid off today that last year Microsoft posted a 17% increase in profits in 2024 to $171 BILLION dollars. They do not now or ever need to lay off a single person.

Happy Pride ya filthy animals. Remember, the first Pride was a riot. 🧱🧱🧱

I told someone I’d apply to a job 4 days ago and then all my spoons left the building 🫠

The things in this thread hurt me in my soul. (And are true, and I’ve experienced them!)

My husband and his team have worked *incredibly hard* on this launch. Make sure you check out the new edition of CATAN!

for fuck’s sake

Get Off Substack

Yet another "global" company with a remote job has told me they can't hire people in Saskatchewan. This is neither global, nor remote.

The past week or so I've been declined for more than one job that I had direct referrals for. I don't even know what to do anymore.

If anyone's curious what the job market is like right now, I just got declined for a job to which I had FOUR separate personal referrals. Now taking suggestions for how to earn money without a real job because.....this is absurd.

I’m so tired y’all.

This is no time to be nice. We need our Democrat congressional reps/senators to emulate the New Zealand Maori legislators' Haka protest last fall. Send your reps this link and demand they learn from it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=25AU... #Resist

Average Congressional Democrat at the SOTU

Just gonna leave this here. igda.org/sigs/credits/

Using a Black child with brain cancer as a prop...and to promote law enforcement. By far the most vile moment of this hideous evening. The same MAGA that tries to ban DEI and says black people come from "shithole countries" and promotes white supremacist conspiracies. Vile. #StateOfTheUnion

Hey January, I hope your kid gets to see adulthood, I genuinely do. But if they don’t, I hope you live with that guilt until your very last breath.

I’m watching a CBC stream of the congressional address and it is not lost on me that the anchors have cut in to talk over Trump any time he lies especially egregiously.

He’s openly insulting you. INTERRUPT HIM. YELL. ANYTHING.

And fuck your signs. DO SOMETHING.

What exactly do democrats gain for this cowardice? It’s pathetic. Time to primary every single one of them. I’m absolutely done supporting a party that literally SITS ON THEIR ASSES.

We'll say it again: No, 150-year-olds are not collecting Social Security benefits. #SOTU www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

The Texas Democrat stood, shouting, as the president addressed a joint session of Congress. After refusing to retake his seat, Speaker Mike Johnson ordered Rep. Green removed from the chamber.

Ok I can’t tell because of the light reflection but is Trump’s flag pin on his lapel….the Betsy Ross flag?

Did Trump just say that he would remove elected officials from office if they opposed him? W H A T

the idea that dead people are collecting social security in any serious number is such horse shit, where did this urban legend come from

To the Democratic Party. DO SOMETHING. Sitting in a room and not applauding is not enough. Take action.

The Republican Party sitting on national television and LAUGHING at the funding cuts to programs for LGBTQ folks is sickening. I am sick to my stomach.

Congressional Democrats expressing opposition to Trump by holding up little signs that say things like "MUSK STEALS" and "FALSE"

Oh my god. Not every sentence is worth a standing ovation. Are you serious???

Al Green is an actual American patriot.

Throw that cane! Throw that cane!

Ok who was holding up the “this is not normal” sign at this congressional address. They’re a hero.
