If your "women and nonbinary" group excludes trans women and/or AMAB nonbinary people-- you're not running a "women and nonbinary" group, you're running a TERF collective.

there are two hard problems in computer science: the calloused fist of capital slowly grinding everything and everyone it touches into the dirt, and naming things

why do incels make the worst software devs

they close every ticket with "can't reproduce won't fix"

katana zero is a fun little game and also incredibly ambitious, and surreal
