Earlier this year, we lost one of our biggest supporters, Todd Williams. His family has given us 4 DB large size posters that he had won in our live auctions to giveaway to the community he loved. In honor of his online handle, chimera8990, donations of $8.99 before 10pm PT will be entered to win.

It’s me! In every workplace other than LRR! I’m not actually hostile, I’m actually kind of conflict avoidant, I just don’t like doing stupid things because stupid people tell me to do them. But when you point out how they’re stupid/timewasters, even using your polite voice? You’re difficult!

Hiya' bloodies!! 🧛‍♀️❤️ Next week, I’m starting my own lil' indie game highlight series right here on Bluesky—yay!! ٩(^ᗜ^ )و´- I'll be smackin' my gob about: 🦇 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗿𝗱 + 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 indie games 🦇 the cool devs who make 'em If you’re into strange + unusual games like I am... 𝙠𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙚𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙥𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙙!! 👁️👄👁️

Tired of the number of comments on people doing the right thing that are just "well it doesn't matter". Yes. It does. Doing the right thing isn't a one shot. It's one necessary part in a collective effort to create a better future. One person doing the right thing may not change the world --🧵

but it will inspire others to, & that absolutely can. Every time you do the right thing in your life, you have a chance to start a cascade that will lead us all down a brighter path. You may not even know you've done it - in fact it's likely you won't! But it's still important, even w/o a crowd.

I know things are tough right now. Things are scary, and there's not a lot to have hope about. But don't let your pessimism dull the efforts of others to try and get us all to a better place. You're allowed to enjoy the good in life, even if bad exists.

pro tip: tell your boss the AI said you’ll be more efficient at home and see which one of their irrational beliefs wins out

100%. For those unfamiliar, Van Halen had a line in their rider that essentially said “no brown M&Ms.” It was a way to see if the promoter had actually read the contract. They had a shitload of gear to tour with, so if they’re skipping one thing, it’s guaranteed they’re skipping something essential.

BOO! Paddon 🎃@benpaddon.net

An AI flyer is a brown M&M test. If your event or business is cutting corners by using an AI flyer, where else are you cutting corners? What else are you cheating out on? Why should I be bothered to go somewhere you couldn't be bothered to promote with a little of your own personality?

My kid and trans people across America are about to see $100 million worth of ads in the next two months about how they are what’s wrong with everything. Would it fucking kill a politician who’s supposed to be on their side to just be on their fucking side?

More background on the Saddle Lake Cree Nation plan to assert its treaty rights and allow any Albertan to access gender-affirming care on their lands and any physicians who wishes to provice the care.

"An interview from earlier this year featuring Level-5 CEO and president Akihiro Hino talking positively about AI and claiming the tech is writing 80 percent or more of the studio’s code these days" Hello yes I would like to not trust the code injection and hallucination machine. #professorlayton

Even better is that he then goes on to claim that what he said wasn't what he said. Like, either you're lying to us now or you were lying to us then, and either way you've completely lost any trust and goodwill I had for you.

I wish cons would take better care of the artist alley folks. In my experience, no early access to rooms and no lunch breaks. Dealers den gets access to rooms and lunch time, maybe more benefits. It’s unfair IMO. The AA is small but we’re still part of the convention and should be treated as such

Things were doing well for the past 2 years, especially when I had a job for about 10 months. Unfortunately, the money has run out and I've been skimping on gas & electric. Well, now I have a turn-off notice. I need $4463.07 by September 8, 2026.

I'm currently in crisis mode. If any of y'all can help out, please do. I'm 2 months behind on both mortgage & electricity. My food stamps got removed due to a glitch in their system. (New application processing.) If I can get $1000, I might be able to tread water instead of sink and die. #Support

Nice to have a citation for the stuff we all sort of assume to be true but question if it's just our own biases making it look that way

Donald Trump's weaponization of the IRS is a blatant, racist attack on our education system. Combined with his efforts to gut the Voting Rights Act and erase the contributions of our minority soldiers, it's no less than Jim Crow 2.0. Illinois will not stand for any of it.

Go support @fridaytea.com. Not because they are a trans ally or because they took a stand regarding JKR and Harry Potter. Not because they collaborated with us on TWO different Coyote & Crow blends. Support them because they are an amazing small business that delivers incredible teas.

No: it isn’t “genuinely bad news for the far right” that the framing & salience of its pet subject has been adopted by the entire political-media system. That assumption mistakes the far right‘s demands as genuine & limited, & thus manageable, rather than being a proxy or wedge issue for much worse.
