Well, the parts for my cat's gaming pc have arrived (minus the PSU). I think he approves.

I'm just a couple hundred miles from war-ravaged Portland, and let me tell you... this weed is amazing.

And before you give me sound legal advice or offer to help publish my game or educate me on how to profit from my hobby... please don't. I'm too stupid to understand any of that stuff. All I know is how to make pixel art, design levels, write basic code, and be problematic. I am otherwise useless. 🫠

I'm not good with business stuff. I don't know how to get a tax ID or do registered trademarks or establish an LLC or anything like that... I don't know how to release a game on Steam or Epic or GOG or Itch, or make money.

So, if I manage to finish my game I'm just going to give it away for free. 🤷‍♀️

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

Absolutely.

Democrats, do yours: PROTECT TRANS HEALTHCARE. PROTECT GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE.

Trying not to reflect the cruelty of this world we live in now - trying to function with a fractured smile and a broken heart.

Unsolicited cockpit

I need to take a social media break because I literally cannot take it anymore with the current news. I'm at a breaking point, and I'm going to start saying things I will truly regret if I don't step away and clear my head. I am so unbelievably angry right now, and I can't channel it constructively.

Assassinations on the other hand...

Given the current recipient's history of supporting Israel's genocide and her plans to privatize Venezuela's oil reserves worth trillions of dollars, I don't think I trust Nobel awards anymore. So no, he's better off.

The vast majority of those convicted were people who committed no crimes and were found guilty by virtue of their skin color, and never should have been incarcerated in the first place. Society failed them long before they ever went to prison. This is a non-starter, justice reform needs to happen.

The government is always the villain in every story, because power corrupts. Historically. This government is no different, and like the others it will fall.

As a woman with no criminal history and a love of art and animals, I kind of like being labeled a terrorist because it just proves the point.

1. Last night, 26 Senate Dems helped pass a NDAA containing a military trans sports and surgery ban and dropped demands for protections against US troop deployments in the bill.

It is the latest in the national fight over must-pass bills during the shutdown.

I keep telling everyone that we're not going to vote our way out of this. Trump owns this country, we just live here (for now).

I have a proposal:

Give everyone food.
Give everyone housing.
Give everyone healthcare.
Give everyone an education.
Give everyone clean air and water.
Give everyone the fat, juicy cuts of rich people to devour.
Give everyone an equal vote.
Give everyone equal rights.

And most importantly:

The Senate has just passed the military NDAA containing 2 anti-trans provisions: a surgery ban using federal funds (dependents too), and a sports ban on military academy spaces.

This will be the STARTING point for negotiations with the House, which has even worse provisions.

Only 20 Dems opposed.

Send me one of those Portland frog suit and I'll get right on that.
