The arc of the moral universe is long, but it only bends toward justice if we grab it and bend until it gets fucking bent. Friend of Andre, friend of Samantha. she/her. The only constant is change.

Do we intro? I'm a game designer, photographer, potter, sewist, pretty good cook & middlin' Fortnite player. I live with my spouse and two teenage boys in the place where we failed us the most and I did my best to avert that. I am striving to contribute to a community of action.

Once Upon a Time in Palestine is a utopian (?) narrative game about returning home. Write your testament of how the world changed and changed you.

Lmk if you’re interested in testing it!

Computer games will often let you shoot an armed human stand-in wearing camo or a uniform of some kind. They almost never let you terrorize unarmed nonviolent civilians, kneel on necks, etc... and if they do it's in service of a "oh shit I'm the bad guy" storyline reveal.

We fought like hell to elect decent, sane judges. We're gonna fight like hell to keep them.

Some immigrants have tried to self-deport using a Trump-promoted app. Many are still here, despite the government giving them departure dates and promises of safe travel. @melissa-sanchez.bsky.social and @mariamelba.bsky.social have a deeply reported, riveting account of people stranded in America.
