Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

The game industry mistakes authority for leadership.

There's precious little actual leadership.

imagine the money games could make if they were more inclusive of 48% of their potential base. sorry to bang on kpop demon hunters and love and deepspace drum again but they’re eating everyone’s lunch because few others were investing that level of production in feminine audiences

Women are projected to control 75-85% of all discretionary household spending by 2028, but fuck actually marketing to us.

The Little Mermaid was one of the earlier examples in my lifetime, and here we are 36 YEARS later still shocked that making something that also appeals to young girls and women means GIANT MONEY HOSE

It drives me nuts because every few years it's like GASP 'this thing more people like is making crazy money!' and then everyone goes right back to pandering to the exact same fucking audience again because 'everyone knows' that's how to be successful.

I was absolutely crushed to have to bow out, but still feel really fucking proud I made it that far. Gives me hope that my skillset is transferable to other avenues and that the right folks will see that.

A while back I was in the running for an Executive Director role for a jewelry school. I thought I had zero chance at the role, but ended up in the final candidate pool.

...and then I looked into how long it would take to get my spouse a greencard.

Nice lil post on Instagram from @fyodorpavlov.bsky.social, on the value of participating in your community as ritual.

tldr We need third spaces and life on the computer isn't living at all.

I remember when I was still living in Seattle I balked at buying gold for a personal project because it was at $1800/oz.

Fuck if I'm ever going to be able to do that project now.
