Here’s what parenting can look like.

When I told my dad I was trans, my dad’s response was, “Oh! I can send you jewelry now!” (He was retired and made jewelry as a hobby).

Two days latter, I had a letter in the mail addressed to Joelle, the first time “Joelle” ever got mail, with a necklace in it. Later he made me this one. He told me, “I hope I got the colors right, I looked it up online.”

You don’t have to mourn a child transitioning. You can be the first to do so many affirming things.

Things that should never have been privatized (& for profit)
1. Education
2. Prisons
3. Health care and mental healthcare
4. Essential utilities, especially water and electricity
5. Retirement
6. Emergency services (fire and rescue)
7. Safety (especially allowing companies to 'self regulate')
8. Military

Just remember, 99 times out of 100, once a company goes 'public', shareholders' profits become more important than ANYTHING.

I also added this gorgeous poster from Sam Wallman "You Don’t Have To Hate Your Job To Want A Union"

If you've got documentation out there referencing a defunct Twitter account, and you're now on the fediverse, I humbly ask you to update said documentation.

Even if your Twitter only exists to point to Masto, it's mostly impossible for those of us without Twitter accounts to see it nowadays.

Updating your links helps us find you! Thank you for your consideration.

The entirety of Humble Games was laid off this morning, sad news.

people reading this be like "wow no wonder she's burned out"

anyway have a haunted heist screenshot. it's like if you combined wolf3d with decked out and pac man

Yippie!

surprise! i put a fantasy console in kitsune tails! not only can you use the free and open source tiled map editor to create custom levels, but you can create your own games in lua using the same simple framework we used ourselves for all the minigames in the game. this gif is me making a sample game i call "ghostzilla" from scratch

oh right, and we've prepared an arcade and over half a dozen minigames for you in the game. one's even 3D! check out the full trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EQkhejCoRs

Mostly just a self reminder but maybe it’ll help you too.

this is a good policy

Cynicism is easy. And it's understandable. Life is hard, made harder by people in power who only serve themselves. So I get it. But every real life activist I've ever met, every longtime volunteer or long-suffering advocate, was ultimately an optimist. It's like being a gardener. You don't plant a seed unless you expect, or at least hope for, a future capable of growing a plant.

Hope takes a lot more work than cynicism. But it's also smarter, cooler, and a hell of a lot more useful.

Kitsune Tails will be a platformer to remember, full of mini-games and powerful modding tools https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/07/kitsune-tails-will-be-a-platformer-to-remember-full-of-mini-games-and-powerful-modding-tools/

Them: “You’re not trans, why are you always defending them?”

Me: “I am also not a domestic cat, and if I see you abusing one of those I’ll kick your ass too.”

You have lost the game
