Happy Saint George's Day. Accept no imitations. 🌈

Hello! I still badly need work in narrative design or game writing etc. I’ve been in games for 20 years and I’m responsible for the mobile smash hit Lily’s Garden. I will take on full-time or contract work but I really need to pick something up soon. Please get in touch if you have/know of something

Plaatjes op bluesky lijken stuk! Als je wil dat je afbeeldingen ook "bekeken" hadden kunnen worden in deze situatie, was alt tekst de perfecte oplossing geweest.

This is also good advice, but for a smaller group.

Many of us are socialized that ever being proud of our achievements makes us bad people, or arrogant, or full of ourselves. Well, fuck that. You are AMAZING. You are on the MOTHERFUCKING HUGO BALLOT. Do you know how many people want to wear you like a fucking coat right now?

Good advice all around!

Misschien kijk ik teveel The Voice, maar ik stel dus voor: "De Stem van Holland". En dat je dan een redevoering moet houden, en dan Rita gedraaid heeft bij Gidi.

Feminists for ages: we are not just vaginas and baby making parts. A trans woman enters the room. Those same feminists: we are only vaginas and baby making parts. Fucking clowns.

Hey @partijvoordedieren.nl ik heb een vraag over de fysieke toegankelijkheid van het aankomende congres maar kan nergens een mailadres vinden, en via de website lijken er alleen algemene webformulieren te zijn? Help!

Jasper has many many many opinions. He is very cute, if slightly loud.

Bij de ransomware-aanval op ChipSoft zijn patiëntdata van huisartsen, revalidatieklinieken en een oogziekenhuis gestolen. Dat meldt een goed ingevoerde bron aan de Volkskrant. Patiëntgegevens uit ziekenhuizen zijn niet in handen van de aanvallers. www.volkskrant.nl/binnenland/b...

I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!

@leendertbeekman.bsky.social Ik wilde net de Studio Den Haag van gisteren over de WIA wachttijd luisteren, maar kreeg eerst een reclame voor een organisatie die helpt om ziekteverzuim te voorkomen... Doen jullie aan getargette reclame ofzo? 🤣

Ruim tien jaar na het Nederlandse bombardement op de Iraakse stad Hawija negeert het ministerie van Defensie bewijsstukken van slachtoffers voor compensatie. Het is onmogelijk om het te onderzoeken, zegt het ministerie, maar ons onderzoek bewijst het tegenovergestelde buff.ly/H3GYLL9

Best autocorrect of the day: it turned my note on having to look stuff up on "domain driven design" into "dinosaur driven design". Yes, YES! RAWR! 🦖

What I do find fascinating is how a book from 1982 has a quite a good prediction of the earlier internet, but especially how some corporations have the power of states. Too bad we can't migrate off world yet to a better place.

Het is blijkbaar weer een dag om luidruchtig transgelieerd te zijn. Dus voor de mensen die het nog niet weten: Transvrouwen zijn vrouwen. Transmannen zijn mannen. Transrechten zijn mensenrechten. Transzorg is noodzakelijke gezondheidszorg. Als je dit anders ziet, blok me gerust 🖕 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

PSA to parents: Netflix is buying up a lot of kidfluencer content from YouTube. You can block individual shows on the web interface if you go into the profiles page, and I would suggest you do so - today’s was Salish Matter, who has been exploited since she was like 12

Kan iemand anders even tegen Tim zeggen dat het fijn zou zijn als ie alt tekst zou gebruiken? Ik heb t nu meermalen gedaan, en word strak genegeerd.

*talking to teenage militant atheist self* current me: okay so there’s a big fight between the government and the catholic church teenage me: got it, so we’re obviously on the side of the government current me: I, uh, you might want to sit down for this one

Oh, my stars and garters, MANTASY? Mantasy??? Bwahhaahahaaahaha! Oh, my days, I needed that this morning.

So I really wanted to go to the American Book Center in Amsterdam this Friday, for the panel of @drkarenlord.bsky.social, @older.bsky.social, and @annaleen.bsky.social's (and @charliejane.bsky.social too, I think) on their anthology We Will Rise Again, but body says no :(

@huubbellemakers.bsky.social a random Huub appeared in my podcastapp! Goed verhaal bij Achter de macht!

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

Reminder: Margaret Thatcher died 13 years ago on this date! I propose to raise a toast on her behalf—a G&T, obviously. (And good riddance to bad rubbish.)

Online discussions on the (un)readability of Judith Butler, and if this is violence of exclusion, just before bedtime. I have made better choices 😂

I'm reading Heinlein for the first time in years (Friday), and I had forgotten how intensely male gaze-y his books are. Partially it's of his time, and he's more anti racist than I expected, but I don't need more masturbatory fantasies, thank you very much.

So Erin Reed blocked me over this one but I’m going to take a few minutes to point out why this “reporting” is so bad and repost a few times to hopefully spread the word. TL;DR Erin either doesn’t understand anything about NYC law or politics or is outright lying about what’s happening here.
