How many times does a city have to have giant industrial rail fires before we decided we should do something about having industrial rail running through the heart of our city

Happy Pride month! Did you know that Ashabi Owagboriaye (_aceingrace_ on insta) designed an alternate version of the Ace Flag this year that can be used alongside the existing one and it is so pretty? I like it a lot

They paywalled the OED?!

Discovering that all of Big Dreams Small Spaces with Monty Don is on Youtube was maybe the best thing to happen to me after two very difficult weeks but is not helping my reputation as "girl who cries about plants on the regular"

We've now raised over $100 to help the Roma families in Bulgaria who have lost their homes! Thankyou so much to everyone who's supported the bundle so far! 💚💖💙https://itch.io/b/3702/romani-mutual-aid-the-sky-earth-bundle

There are a lot of reasons why season 2 of the DMC cartoon was not as good as the first one, but the one that's sticking with me is that we know Vergil had sex at least one time when he was the age he is in the show, but I don't believe cartoon vergil has ever touched a woman

I kind of hate how patreon is turning more and more into a social media because like, not only do I want to separate my professional and fandom lives in a way I control, I also like having separation from the people I'm a fan of? I like the parasocial kayfabe

One of the most impactful things that people can do in this moment is to feed people. To find multiple ways to do this in communities.

I've been married for 3 years today, which is a wild and nice thing

I'm sure it was not this but I swear I just saw two teen shooting up in front of a nice apartment building in broad daylight.

I have finished season 2 of Devil May Cry Cartoon and think it was pretty fun overall but also wow it got real rough by the end. But also I just liked seeing the blorbos do the things and say the lines

I didn't know it was Dowland's 400th this year and I'm sad cause maybe I could have finally put together my Dowland concert called "songs from the friendzone"

Hi lovelies! As many of you know I've been diagnosed with FND which causes paralysis & seizures in my face, arms, legs and throat. I'm raising funds for a wheelchair so I can stay mobile as possible, please consider hiring me, donating, buying games on itch or sharing 🙏💖 - ko-fi.com/glitzydemon/...

Jeff has surgery today, so I'm camping out in the hospital all day. At least the cafe is open today

I created a subsite for my digital preservation stuff! allmyfriendsarestories.neocities.org/AParchive/di... It likely still has bugs, but all the stuff about the AP archive project, the SeriesSeeker project, and my general ramblings about digital preservation of AP will live here :)

I've sold 23 copies of my reverse harem game this month, mostly apparently from people googling it? I'm obviously grateful but also confused? did someone talk about it on a podcast or something?

I'm only two episodes in, but the way they keep teasing Bury the Light in the DMC cartoon is so funny.

KH3 made me cry even though they made me watch all the cutscenes twice I just cried twice

I can't believe I can't buy a coffee at the hospital on a Saturday. People are in the hospital and need coffee on weekends too!

Home for now but still need good thoughts.

Could use some good vibes for Jeff please

Jeff and I went to go see Amelie tonight at the local hipster movie theatre and idk I don't think I regret making that movie my whole personality in my early 20s It's a good movie about learning to love your community even though you're very shy

I don't usually get con fomo but this year the convergence of pals going to ukge has me wistfully imagining getting to hang out with them all

Man I had so much fun tonight, what if I just single handedly brought pop classical back to specifically my city.

One of those moments where I want to go back and tell my younger self that it's ok that the YAP auditions didn't work out, we get to make our own weird classical music art with our friends and make sure everyone gets paid well to do it.

Incredibly rude that the DMC cartoon second season is out tomorrow and I won't be able to watch until Thursday! How am I supposed to wait 2 whole days to cry about my wife vergil while papa roach plays in the background

I am trying really hard not to get into the ai website nonsense because we all know it's bad and that the people responsible are assholes, but holy shit there is basic responsibility for curators to respect the wishes of the people whose work is being curated.

god I need to figure out how to get good at layout. not really for game design reasons- I do a lot of okayish layout in my other lives- but being around game design folks who are good at layout has made me aware of my deficiencies

I understand that some people consider being married to another musician as a dubious choice and that you should find a normie to keep you sane/have a real job with real money But if you marry another musician you get to spend the afternoon listening to the trout quintet for free

I do think it's really funny how a lot of PC and console gamers don't think of mobile or browser games as "real games" because let me tell no one min-maxes or metagames harder than the free to play crowd

I'm so sorry to literally every educator and student using Canvas that is so rough

There's a big old Bradford Pear tree planted in memory of someone at work and I'm sure the family was like "we want a beautiful flowering tree" but also what if they hated their relative and wanted their final mark on the world to be the stinky tree?

I am not really an Andrew Lloyd Webber hater, but the amount of time it took to find a copy of the sheet music for memory that doesn't have the 85 key changes for no reason nearly drove me insane.

I listened to Kelly's conversation with Rebecca Solnit and I recommend it. I was particularly struck with what Solnit says here: truthout.org/audio/hope-i...

Jeff's orchestra played Scheherazade tonight and I literally started laughing in the fourth movement that was so fucking hard Rimsky Korsakov what the hell

Welp I'm gonna sing art song accompanied by Synthesizer for the rest of my life it's so cool and fun

RIP Goethe, you would have love booktok

I can understand why they would make the image carousel like that but I simply do not use bluesky on my phone.

I saved a drowsy bee that had made its way into the office this morning, but we don't have any sugar, so I put a forsythia flower on a piece of wet paper towel so I could bring it outside and it grabbed the flower with its little arms and hugged it, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it

Hello everyone, meet Mishaisle Launcher (Misha) and Lucerne Hammer (Lucy) 💖

I spent like 3 hours talking about game design yesterday and now all I want to do is write bespoke safety tools for every game.

If I end up writing a 50 page lyric game, it's all @trueryankhan.bsky.social's fault

I've been thinking about this over yesterday and this morning and while I do think Em's point of resisting productivity culture is important, I don't know if I could actually keep up with this for a whole year.

Jeff and I have a joint piano/voice student and she's in the piano portion of her lesson discovering that she loves plagal cadences and it's very nice actually

today is first day of what I expect to be a series of Big Life Changes™️ (not pregnant) and I am excited but also change scary

I really gotta figure out how to get a hungarian tutor. It's just too complicated to do by myself even with my old textbooks and class notes

It is incredibly funny to me that they are playing Dad rock in the fertility clinic

Carney majority is a real monkey's paw moment tbh
