Go support Amabel’s patreon!! She’s earnestly one of the best things I look forward to on YouTube these days. Her work is beyond compare, and incredibly needed and important beyond the scope of the videos themselves. patreon.com/AmabelHollan...

whenever i tell friends about robot karaoke they often say they don’t like karaoke because they aren’t good at singing and it’s such a fucking bummer knowing that people i love are loving by the constraint that one can only do a thing for fun if they are “good” at it

Yes. Yes I do remember this.

Bank of America more than tripled my mortgage payments right before the holidays… If you’re still looking for gifts (or maybe something for yourself), consider buying them from my friendly little game store. Happy to make recommendations! 🥲💖 opalgrovegames.com

If you're trying to ditch NYT Games, which you should be since their games singlehandedly prop up the entire dogshit rag financially, you should switch to Puzzmo. An annual sub is 50% off today for a crazy $19 and as a bonus doesn't enable the genocides of Palestinians and trans people

Apropos of nothing: now would be a real cool time for the CNCF to realize that North America includes both Mexico and Canada and decide that KubeCon NA can be somewhere other than the US Just a thought

i guess whatever ends up happening i very much appreciate the way that so much of what comes out of this campaign offers a positive depiction of what politics can offer to a community instead of just grim attack stuff and fear

On her birthday, Mariame Kaba @prisonculture.bsky.social is raising money for EVLovesNYC. I was able to donate 100 dollars. Please join me. evloves.networkforgood.com/projects/224...

I prefer “anti-fascist“ for a host of reasons and this is a nice practical one.

fuck vercel, fuck Next.js, fuck Svelte, fuck Turborepo, fuck SWR, fuck SWC Posing with the architect of a genocide for sales leads is an insane and deeply immoral stance these projects cannot separate themselves from the CEO of the company who funds them

You can spend today seeking a way to support and uplift the many marginalized groups that Kirk demonized and harmed.

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

I very rarely donate to campaigns outside my own sphere of electoral influence, but Kat is running the kind of campaign I wish everyone would run. If my $26 can make this strategy more viable, that’s money well spent.

I was getting my makeup done while they filmed this episode. The artist and I were both fighting for our lives trying not to laugh in the background 🤣

I believe in a world where play helps us be better people. Play is a just, necessary goal to incite in the world. And I want to be a part in that.

I think games have an opportunity to help people connect, promote, learn, reveal, and incite belief and action into the real-world. Play can help us see beyond ourselves; To live lives that transform and transcend us.

This challenge is hella cool and I you should participate!!! I’ve done it, it’s crazy fun. Seriously. Talk to Jason. It’s awesome.

Just published: Beyond DEI Statements: How to Actually Evaluate Company Culture At @diversifytech.com, we don't want to send candidates to discriminatory companies. Here's how we vet them (and how you can too)!

Organizing something small and chill and not political on the surface is how to build community and talk to people, which are the two things we need most to do any type of other action. Make a children's book club, truly anything counts.
