Hey y'all, I wanted give people a heads-up that Mike Z is still working on the Avatar Legends dev team, for anyone who wanted to know before deciding whether to buy/support the game. (If you don't know who that is or need a refresher, here's the Kotaku article: kotaku.com/workers-leav...)

I too am guilty of “egregious dykery”

depressed single construction worker that sees this sign every day

The Merlin Bird ID app will soon allow users to contribute data to monitor bird populations and aid conservation efforts. The project at Cornell University that produced the Merlin Bird ID app was funded by NSF’s Directorate for STEM Education (EDU), which was gutted by the Trump regime. 🪶

it doesn't really get to me at this point because I don't expect any better, but it does get tiring to constantly see official government statements about how you and anyone like you should be eliminated from society

phoebe bridgers dropping a game onto itch was not on my bingo card

This is what I mean when I say we need to imagine technology without the profit motive.

very happy to be contributing to the declining birth rate

Playstation finally officially announcing it has no games

Saw a couple of posts from US artists saying BSky is now asking them for age verification. Please follow the link in this repost. I’m the UK we’ve had this crap going on for over a year. The methods listed here work great, it’s what I use it (no way I’m providing personal info!)

Sorry, friend, I like ladies.

if you're cis you have a moral imperative to give a trans woman money today. doesn't matter who. just pick one from your timeline, there's like a 90% chance they've got a gofundme linked on their page.

The patriarchal world is tearing itself to bits in order to cling to fictions it can no longer reasonably maintain.

democrats foaming at the mouth to gain power, have the supreme court stop any social progress and then go "ah dang well thats just how the law works guess we cant do anything about it" and get back to their true passion, yelling at people on social media for not voting for them

The Supreme Court today addressed one of the most pressing threats to the nation today: banning this high school sophomore from playing school sports with her friends 🫡🫠🙃

my ffxiv static is such a good balance of being fun and chill while also still having pretty steady progress. glad to have found a relatively serious group that is still able to have fun and isn't sweaty and anxious about it

sushi time again

our tank took too many tankbusters hes daydreaming about heroin

you'll be more gorgeous than you could have imagined. so will the rest of the world. there are colours you haven't even seen yet. you'll sit by an open window at night in the cold november air and realise your shoulders have come down from around your ears for the first time since you can remember.

worked for me

being in love is actually sick as hell. yall tried this? unbeatable

did The Bear shed enough of the haters with s3 and s4 that we can agree the last season was really good (just spent the day watching the entire thing)

SFPD brutalized queer and trans people in the Transgender District of SF after a Pride march. In case anyone still thinks cops belong at Pride.

Aww the co-creator of FTL came out as trans and issued an update for the first time in years just to change her name in it 😭 love that game.

Oh man. Riot partnering with the fascist streamer platform is extremely not good. www.riotgames.com/en/news/riot...

Wacom recently asked me to talk about why I make queer comics, and given there are multiple bills right now floating around in congress that are effectively "we will kill your livelihood if we get a sniff of queer" I had some pretty strong, simply feelings to relay.

Mamdani announces $15M for trans healthcare, includes launching a call/text resource support line. Notes city Law Dept filed an amicus brief against subpoenas for medical records. Hospitals suspended care to trans youth following a Trump EO. This seems to try working around that, doesn’t mention it

"addon that blocks all NYT screenshots" needed more than "addon that blocks all X the everything app screenshots" at this point

Termination without cause in Japan is complex and workers have a lot of rights and protections we don't in the US. If Japan had employment laws as weak as ours, Nintendo would undoubtedly lay off workers just the same. It's not management's benevolence or farsightedness, it's labor law.

tonight's movie - kind of a miracle (and truly lots of hard work and very clever editing) that this movie exists. it's crazy how much knowing about how this movie was made and the context of some of the scenes makes it an actual magical piece of art

A good friend recently commissioned me a bunch of silly tokens for his cube and I had a real blast with them. You can find the whole set of 68 here for 5+€ if you're interested (: ko-fi.com/s/da0b9dbf25

historic management failure

self-identifying as a "reader" is honestly competing with "gamer" for most annoying

its so funny that ultimates in ffxiv are seen as ball busting hellscape fights by so many people while my experience (other than TOP lmao) is going to bed all cozy and excited that I get to prog tomorrow. mental skill issue I guess but I find it quite comforting to die repeatedly to the silly clown

She just won her primary. Woo!

Fellowship added beetle pets for each role based on the beatles but are obviously wrong. based on vibes it should clearly be: melee dps - john ranged dps - george tank - ringo healer - paul
