You may have seen or heard the news about @dolphin / Valve / Nintendo from a few hours ago. If not, read e.g. https://www.pcgamer.com/nintendo-sends-valve-dmca-notice-to-block-steam-release-of-wii-emulator-dolphin/ from the amazing @wes.
Unfortunately pretty much everyone has been getting the legal details wrong, incl. Dolphin themselves on their blog (now fixed).
Quick thread with my personal summary of the situation.

for those who don't know yet, my finacée and us are in the long arduous process of getting married as a couple separated by the atlantic ocean. we've posted an update to our fundraiser that's allowing us to make that happen: https://www.gofundme.com/f/get-taylor-and-millie-together
i wrote a bit about my inspiration for making #webgbcam and the importance it's had for me and others on hackaday: https://hackaday.com/2020/10/26/the-game-boy-camera-or-how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-the-pixels/
warms my heart a lil bit every time i see someone with an avatar that was recognisably taken with #webgbcam
my metric of "made it" is that when i first made #webgbcam, googling "webgbcam" would prompt "Did you mean: Webcam". it no longer does that
in an earnest tone like Alexey Pajitnov says "Play Tetris!", use webgbcam!

something cis people should know about trans trauma
If you, as a cis person, want to know what growing up as a trans woman in this society is like, one manifestation of the trauma is in becoming a fully grown human and still, in many cases, having the nagging belief that everyone sees you as a predator, maybe even other trans people, despite all of the kindness and grace you have done your very best to practice.
And yes, all of these recent state laws will hurt another generation that way.

occasionally nsfw, always cw'd
If you've been blocked by me and don't know why, it's likely you or an account you have boosted posts nude men, cw'd or not, and I am committed to not seeing that under any circumstances
I am prone to bouts of grumpiness and bad moods due to chronic pain and fatigue
