Welcome to capitalism, where tech startups fake 'genius' AI using hidden POC sweatshop labor in a 'black box' to rake in profits.

"AI, games, Amazon, it's all made with magic! In our magic black box!"
"What's in it?"
"Nevermind, just eat your kale salad and let's do yoga!"
*Open box, find a sweatshop*

Looking For: LGBTQ+ Novels for Young Adults (Please Boost!) 

Hey friends! My sister @missbird is a 6th and 7th grade English teacher and her kiddos are asking her to find more LGBTQ+ novels to read.

If you know of any LGBTQ+ novels aimed at young adult to teen reading levels, please reply with info!!

Thanks!

Valid as fuck to have no idea you're trans or GNC until your adult life

Valid as ALL HELL to have spent your formative years comfortable with your assigned gender and only later have it not fit right.

Not everyone "always knew" and that's :valid:

gripe #1 about the Surface Pro I have...

.... why is the volume control on the top of the screen positioned so that you press the LEFT side to INCREASE volume, and the RIGHT side to DECREASE it??...

smash bros ultimate is THE most confusing game I have EVER PLAYED...

...aside from Starseed Pilgrim. but holy crap I just cannot figure out what I'm doing in SSBU. I mean... I GUESS I can win battles vs the computer on easy mode, but... I have no idea HOW honestly. I'm sorta just mashing buttons in hope that it does SOMETHING useful. Spirits, skills, all this stuff. what IS all this!?

REVIEW: Void Bastards, as a procgen style maybe-shoot, probably-run-away type game, is a both delightful and horrifyingly British science fiction hellscape. Nice. themadwelshman.co.uk/void-bast
