I'm like mega broke and unemployed (due to bad decisions I've made), so this is just another one of those consequences that I gotta just deal with. If I had just done exactly what I was told to do with my life, I wouldn't be in this mess... God, I'm such a loser

I thought that 2026 would see me going back to therapy. Unfortunately, my bitch-ass insurance company has decided that therapy is no longer preventative health, and I now need to pay 30% coinsurance. This means I now need to pay close to $100 a session. Fucking hell. Guess I just won't go to therapy

sickening. video games don’t cause violence - numerous studies have shown this - but i think we largely ignore the amount of american military propaganda that go into games like COD. we forget games like “america’s army” existed for the express purpose of recruitment. games can be culpable

You can’t tell me we have a functioning economic system when the richest man in human history is one of the most profoundly stupid people in human history

It really is kinda maddening how so many of the zine fests I finally found out about were only through Instagram. So many websites that try to lists various events all have outdated information. One of my closest friends I met through a zine fest and I both really hate IG but there's just no alt...

lifted from tumblr and posting here because holy shit this drives me insane

There is a profound, deep, aching sadness within my heart that I fear will never heal. I cannot rid myself of the toxins that plague me while I remain trapped within the swamps of poison. I desire connection, but yet I am afraid one will take my pain and forge it into a blade to use against me…

The No ICE in Minnesota charity bundle submission period is now open: itch.io/jam/no-ice-i... All games, free and paid, TTRPG and browser based-alike are welcome Submissions are open until January 26 & the charity bundle supporting a Minnesota based Immigrants' rights org will go live in February

"Abolish ICE" is the moderate position. "Try everyone involved in ICE for crimes against humanity" is the progressive one.

asbestos sits in millions of walls. refusing to huff it won't stop it, just leaves vulnerable people without knowledge. demand ownership and control, not asbestos cleanup

i remember years ago someone being like "no, doc, you can't tell stories with unambiguously bad villains" and lo and behold now we live in an america with a reality tv host who literally smells like rotting flesh and is so fucking slimy he considers himself a nobel prize winner. and is a nazi.

we do not, in fact, need to capitulate to nazis and fascism. you want an “unbiased” take? all the millions who were killed, wounded, and traumatized, you fucking nazi apologist

As such, the memory of the Flesh Truck remains.

DOOM RPG on my flip phone >>>> any iPhone game

Officially announcing my next game, and it's about: ...driving a 4x4 in a Furniture Store 🤣 (physics-based precision driving in a mini open world mega furniture store) Please help spread the word and ☆WISHLIST ON STEAM☆ s.team/a/4135570

most of all it’s a great educational tool for teaching my child to strip valuable materials out of an abandoned sewer, i’m sure that will come in handy someday

They are literally going after toy stores in the Twin Cities area. Yeah, man, this is totally all about immigration. That's why dudes armed like they are going to the frontlines of war are trying to push around and intimidate toy store owners. These absolutely vile ghouls.

I have two things to say to anyone considering visiting the US for GDC this year: 1) You’re fucking crazy, and 2) Don’t do it you’re fucking crazy … (Incidentally I offered the exact same advice last year around this time and was blasted for “fearmongering”. Right.)

i applied to a couple of PhD programs this last round, and as awful as i think my essays are, it *never* crossed my mind to use chatgpt/etc. if you need a computer to do your thinking for you, you’re not ready for an advanced degree.

reminder that i’m making a simple static site generator with zero AI involved make your own website now and it’ll be that much easier to fuck off of Bluesky when you inevitably need to

Me when I finally get back to actually reading posts on here and see that drama absolutely fuckin exploded in the indie trans author community:

When, at some point, the Overton window shifts left. Even slightly. What we're NOT going to do is allow all those big companies, brands etc suddenly put their rainbow flag cosplay back on. We are NOT going to allow them to pretend they didn't just drop us as they decided we weren't fashionable. 1/

fuck ice. fuck cops. fuck colonialism and capitalism. fuck the transphobes and the bigots and the people who use their religion as a weapon and a boot on our necks. fuck everyone who tells us that is impossible to build a world where we are all free and fed and housed and loved.

PSA: If you get a Discord message from someone named Chuckster, DO NOT REPLY! They will claim to help you get the Shine Sprite, but in reality they will just throw you into the abyss.

This is How You Get JARHEAD Sequels youtu.be/i5m-RHS1fU0

i’d argue we’re beyond “early stages” at this point, but the article still stands. dehumanization leads to genocide, and that’s what’s happening.

We live in a world where men like Tim Sweeney can advocate for protecting consent-free, child-inclusive porn generators under free speech without paying an economic cost for it, but a teacher talking about how they spent their weekend on their private Facebook can be blacklisted from her profession.

“bsky is boring!” 1) good 2) social media should not be a cornerstone of your everyday entertainment 3) I find new artists to follow every day and look at pretty art endlessly on here when I feel like it 4) get a tactile hobby where you create something with your hands 5) read book 6) walk outside

Thinking about this once again

I’m old enough to remember the late 2000s, when redpill dudes were starting to mobilize online various feminists and queer activists and historians wrote fairly regularly about misogyny as the canary in the coal mine of fascism I can still hear the crickets

I get really annoyed, as a person who did get rubella despite being vaccinated and did get COVID despite being masked, at people like this. I got rubella because some crunchy mom didn’t vax her child and COVID because my workplace rolled back protections. Mitigations fail because of assholes.

Make it viral.

To anybody who is offended by the governor of Minneapolis telling ICE “get the fuck out of our city,” but not offended by ICE ethnic cleansing secret police summarily executing a local mom, a message: Go fuck yourself. Learn the difference between a swear word and an obscenity.

my friend’s 7 year old died a couple of days ago due to flu/strep complications. it’s devastating

hi, i’ve been sick and just woke up. what the fuck is going on?

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

If you need proof that the media is more responsible for Trump than the MAGA zealots, look at it this way: Trump came down that escalator in 2015 and started shouting FAKE NEWS almost immediately. Did the press take him to task and bury him? Nope. They bent over and now they work for him. Losers

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

i don’t know what else to say. trump needed to be removed from office months ago, let alone for what accounts to a war for oil and the apparent capture of a foreign country’s president. not that this is the first time the us has put its nose in places it need not, but what the fuck are we doing?

we have not "apprehended" the president of venezuela. we have invaded a foreign country and kidnapped its leader. what the fuck are we doing here, i am going to lose my mind

You don't need to think about what is "normal." You are you. One day, the world will come where there is no need to categorize people as LGBT🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Until that day arrives, I will continue to send out this message. Your soul is beautiful.

I really wish people would understand this is about our eradication, not just to be mean.

The details of the paper are irrelevant without the context that it was intentionally submitted to get the trans teacher fired. And no it isn't about cruelty. It's about making trans people unemployable as a further step towards completed genocide and mass murder of trans people.

Samantha's mother, lawyer Kristi Fulnecky, represented two Jan. 6ers. Samantha states she got A's on all her other course work, and now this? I posit that she purposefully set up the professor & the university to create a media circus. More anti-science, anti-trans, more distraction.

Yeah, it was about getting the TA fired for being trans. People seem to be missing that. That was the whole goal, the essay was just the vehicle for that.

Oklahoma, 49th in education. Now you know why.

This was entirely about purging a trans instructor from the school and they succeeded. It was aided by a lot of dumb liberals taking it at face value arguing the minutia of grading rubrics while ignoring the obvious bad faith efforts behind this.
