I like games that you can play again and they're different the next time: such as randomizers, roguelikes, and gender expression! Twitch stream: https://twitch.tv/arborelia

If this post is for you, you'll know, and I'm glad you're reading it:
I really do care about you. I hope we can talk again.
-, not about Meta, I do not care about Meta
I've gotten upset, defensive, and a little bit paranoid about the way I see post-Twitter queer communities fighting each other.
and then I ended up part of it. I said something hurtful to someone who didn't deserve it. Over... discourse and general social media shit.
I need to take a break from the fediverse.

a thing i’ve gotten interesting while making word games and NLP tools is the construction of (English) word lists
i’m currently of the conviction that when someone releases a word list, it needs metadata that includes an edit log of all source lists as well as individual word removals and deletions at the discretion of the author

It is a scathing indictment that I am somehow a queer elder now. I’m 42. There is a generation before me but not nearly as large as it should be. And trans folks? We’ve always existed but good luck finding the elder of us. Between transphobia, lack of access to care, and poverty, too many didn’t make it.

Online communities are real communities. People have met future spouses, weathered difficult life events, organized politically, raised money to help each other all through the panoply of social websites.
Often community rules and culture are guided by moderators, who almost always work for free.
Despite all of this we generally accept that these are not the people who own the website or the ones who control its fate.
Over and over this creates heartache and disappointment.

Man in polyester suit: so what you do is you type any combination of words and it displays the words statistically most likely to come after those words.
Shark Tank judge: Okay... So what is the purpose of your little sentence guesser?
Polyester suit man: It will destroy civilization, obviously.
That post gives the context, but if you already know what the Famicom game Cocoron is and you want the direct link to a new way to play it:
The Cocoron “Heck%” randomizer:
Gargron? That's the buff demon dude you need to hit with a pinball, right?

sorry I haven't been reposting my Silver Ball Century #pinball streams here consistently!
Tonight is a bonus stream because pinball in 1992 is too good for just two streams

Laurie Penny, still relevant https://lauriepenny.substack.com/p/peace-is-still-weirder-than-war
#eurovision as a peace project; national competition re-envisaged as something gloriously silly, irreverent, irrelevant, fun, camp and democratic.
