Over the weekend, at Pittsburgh Gaming Expo, I also got to teach a few people the basics of Mass Effect Priority: Hagalaz. I think I gave people a nice boost to get their own copy to the table, and I had several people stop by to look who had never seen it. @ithayla.bsky.social

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

Oops I "wished harm" on my coworkers

Wishing harm is against the rules now? Better tell literally every righty to GTFO.

I'm at the budget shutdown! I'm at the National Guard deployment! I'm at the ICE invasion of an apartment building! I'm at the combination

I like to walk everywhere in open world games instead of fast traveling, because my power fantasy is being able to walk long distances without pain

Many thanks to this friend for his help with the show, too :-)

I wish more people in the world realized that me doing 4 hours of work while rested and having my other worries and needs taken care of is exponentially more productive than me forcing myself to try to work for 8-10 hours. Grinding is counterproductive.

Hey, so something I've learned while getting more involved with our union is that it is very hard to convince people to go from inaction to extreme action. In fact, it is difficult to go from inaction to a /small/ action. 1/2

What did Link even do that violated BLUEsky's TOS? I know everyone is focusing on the overlap with Blacksky but how is this justified regardless?

document the most mundane shit imaginable, because it will become memory (or simply forgotten) in decades' time

The CEO of Bluesky is craven and evil. The only people that build these platforms are infected with the self-reproducing moral rot of capitalism. They have no sense of duty or stewardship. They see their monetary reward as a cleansing justification for their actions.

your knit top was super rad and I didn't get a chance to compliment it in person!

No, we do not in fact have to hand it to them (adapt to the presence of a technology that serves no one)

I'm gonna propose something unpopular: Every major social media owner sucks major ass. Yes all of them. Use their sites though, it drains their money and annoys the fuck out of them. This is our community. They don't own us

Recent studies reveal how critical having access to supportive online communities can be for LGBTQ+ youth. This is exactly why we're fighting KOSA + online ID checks. techcrunch.com/2025/09/25/l...

i passed my audhd pre-test (now i get to have an actual assessment)!

We’ve already passed the halfway mark which is a huge help and I can’t thank y’all enough. Even if the goal isn’t 100% met I’m close to being safe, so please don’t feel like you need to donate a huge chunk to make a difference. A couple bucks or a repost would be more than enough to help. Thank you!

memory/nostalgia thoughts: 10 years is a pleasurable distance. like, you can still see it in your rearview. 20 years is when you feel it start slipping from your grasp, and understand how things can be lost forever except in your own unreliable brain. 30+ years i haven't reached (in adulthood) yet.
