man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

listening to the new Illenium album - it's pretty good so far. There's something about his music that feels like a dark starry night, I don't know how to explain it.

Food flavor themed attacks and weaknesses. Samara attacks with a boosted Spicy Wokarang attack. Hit the right timing on each hit to keep it going for multiple hits. Dosa Divas is a narrative turn-based RPG. Demo is live on Steam. store.steampowered.com/app/4316300/...

one thing I'm really loving about Wonder Man is seeing the characters of Simon and Trevor get to be written as encyclopedic subject matter experts in their craft. The way Simon is always trying to know everything about every obscure aspect of film is how I'm always trying to be about games.

I’m helping a PBS series look for a social media manager/content creator for an upcoming promotional campaign. The start date is ASAP, and a project timeline that currently goes to July.
This is for a series on American Muslim history, so candidates with cultural familiarity preferred!

this entire episode hinges on the idea that Sam is an "emissary" (in the diplomatic sense) and Sisko was also an "emissary" but it manifestly doesn't work because Sisko was not that kind of emissary

I’ve spoken to so many non-male friends recently who have been Going Through It because of *gestures at everything.* I’m going to try and keep sharing support resources.
Today, here’s a thread of orgs specifically for and by Black women.

Mike Pondsmith has just an incredible body of work. all bangers.
So it's Black History Month and that means I think it's a good time to get familiar with Mike Pondsmith, if you're not already.
When you see R. Talsorian Games, that's him. When you see Cyberpunk 2077, that's his world.
Mekton, Castle Falkenstein, also him.
