Osama has a very large family he is raising for including many children ❤️ his fundraising account is almost 2 years old so most that he has raised has already been spent on surviving in Gaza

I can’t believe I get to geek out about Final Fantasy again!! Thank you for all your support. 🥳💖

I thought this game was really interesting, i might revisit it for an end of year roundup thing. (which— if you have interesting indie games I should check out, tell me!)

Huge thanks to everyone who has supported @unwinnable.com on the march to 100 new subs to get that special Final Fantasy x Politics issue. We're so close! unwinnable.com/subscribe/

I know this is Europe because I made it but for some reason seeing it again makes me wonder what the In the Air Tonight drum bridge would be like as a piece on politics in Final Fantasy in a beloved zine. What I am saying is please end our torment and subscribe lol

Feeling doubtful you can stop this? We stopped H.R. 5300 in three days after backlash. We stopped Jimmy Kimmel's cancellation in that same span of time. We can stop this.

🥺😮‍💨🤩🥳

deepest of deep breaths feeling nervous about this one, friends! I've written about the mainstreaming of pull-to-publish, its impact on fandom, and what it means for an increasingly corporate and IP-driven creative landscape.

The Vancouver Game Garden is coming up in less than a week!! This will be the first time people can play ANOTHEREAL! To cover all my thoughts about the event, the demo, and a glimpse at overall game progress, I've written a pre-autumn update blog: blog.radicaldream.land/anothereal-p...

So LANDLORDS are now trying to rob artists and creators of their work in advance because they now often create and work where they live? I do the work, but you get the rights forever because I'm paying you for a roof over my head? WTF? Anyway, don't sign anything without reading carefully, kids.

And that's it!!!! The Play for Peace: Games for Palestine charity has come to an end. Together we raised nearly $117,500 USD for Palestine relief. Thank you everyone from the bottom of our hearts, this has been a wonderful journey. We'll be following up with UNRWA and Itch for next steps.

I only spoke to Hany for a short time, but he was so kind, like so many Palestinians are, even in the worst of circumstance, I am heartbroken for him and those he leaves behind. So I ask you to honour his memory by standing by Palestinians, to fight for them, be their voices if they are silenced.

@breachmedia.ca is doing a book launch for their publication on how Canadian media covered up the destruction of Gaza. It's a free in-person event. If I was in the area, I would attend!

As someone who is neurodiverse and on the spectrum, I have thoughts on that presidential big announcement about autism. Here we go! We've always been around. We'll always be here. Living, seeing, loving, dying. 1/ www.patreon.com/posts/139553...

Nothing says “land of the free” like armed agents of the state saying “show me your papers if you want your daughter back” bsky.app/profile/nbcb...

this is all so weird because it feels juuuust close enough to saying "we're going to become a fan event" without actually saying that, and "we're going to take over more of the activity outside the show" without actually saying that either

"You need to manage what you can and can't control, Samara." Alright, I accept that I cannot control the state of the world right now, but I absolutely can control what words I use to cuss it out

Gonna just say, if it's this easy to protest against the monolith that is Disney. Then there is no excuse for people to be clinging to Harry Potter. Like, if the needle can be moved against Disney, people can make it move against JK Rowling. Stop the flow of money into her accounts,

So happy we had this conversation (it's been due for a long time). "No matter how hard you try to gentrify the internet or to control computers, there's this fundamental layer, the core of it, that's not control. It's too late to take that away."

Yep, there it is. More to come, I can only assume.

I really enjoyed this conversation with @alienmelon.bsky.social and look forward to following this up with what I’ve learned from them.

I finally found a way to combine my love of flowers, cultural history and games criticism. 🌸

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

With everything going on in my family, I haven’t had nearly as many opportunities to present fem as I’d like in 2025. But during the moments I’ve gotten to this year, I’ve finally really started to see ✨her✨ I have no unrealistic beauty standards for myself. I just want to light up with this joy.

Hey, entire non-US games industry - @kyleor.land is good and trustworthy people.

We're looking for a pixel animator to help season the graves 👀 Unity experience definitely a plus!

For all the folks mad that GDC isn't what they want - it's not ever been for us. We're not the customer even if we wish we were. If we want something that is for us, we're going to have to build it ourselves.

this morning I made a joke about the rapture and someones quote was about how all transes should hide for the day to convince the right we've all been raptured as a spiritual gotcha and I think people on here have fallen too far into a "everything is a political game where I'm scoring points" hole

such important points. and if you need a reminder that *this* is not a done deal, press play.

I've been trying to understand why this isn't generating as much fury as it should, and i think it's because there is a fundamental belief among many americans that the military can pretty much do whatever (which isn't entirely inaccurate.) that said, what the actual fuck.

Sharing this excerpt from my foreword to Alaa Abd el-Fattah's extraordinary collection of prison writings, "You Have Not Yet Been Defeated." Stay tuned... lithub.com/naomi-klein-...

The BDS movement salutes the Italian trade unions, students movements, grassroots groups & people of conscience who have made this unprecedented act of meaningful solidarity possible — & calls on workers across Europe & the world to follow suit. Escalate BDS pressure & #DisruptComplicity now!

Historic: Italy is on strike, disrupting business as usual & protesting complicity in Israel’s genocide & apartheid against Palestinians, bringing major cities to a halt. Hundreds of thousands are demonstrating across 80 cities & towns, from south to north, blocking roads, ports & railway stations.

We are trapped in Gaza with no way out, stuck between bombing, displacement & hunger😭 Food in the markets is extremely expensive & impossible to afford💔 I need your help to provide food & essentials for my family🙏🏻 🙏🏻 Your donations are my only income 🔗 gofund.me/4564dbd50 ✅ @mommunism.bsky.social

Love how quickly this industry responds to this event versus when the BDS movement explicitly called upon them to respond to a genocide. 🙄

Asking again! If you are a disabled player impacted by the recent rising prices of games, systems, and devices, feel free to respond!
