Trans, mother and housespouse, early 40s. If you followed me because of a meme or I had something nice to say about Peter S. Beagle, I apologize with tongue in cheek; you'll find me dubious company.

One of the many things worth thinking about re: Steam's ban on Horses is how it highlights is the centralization problem caused by having such a monolithic (and maybe mono-something-else) retail giant.
Independent studios with even humble commercial aspirations are chained to Valve's whims.

That's a BIG deal!

So, no word on worker's comp yet and it has put me in a precarious situation with rent. I very badly need to raise $550. I know it's a big ask. This is not how I want to start my birthday month. I'm sorry
Hi, I have spent literally the very last of my money on rent. If you can help me survive to the end of the month with a share or donation, I would be very grateful. Thank you so much.

I’ve said this for many years and I’ll keep saying it: for all that I believe trans women are women, we would matter even if we weren’t. We would belong in feminism even if we weren’t. We would deserve to have others stand with us even if we weren’t.

With Black Friday/Cyber Monday done, its best to settle back into 'marathon' call routines rather than the 'sprint' we had for the weekend.
if you did participate in calling Visa and MC this past weekend though, thank you! We have to keep going, but every call matters!

Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

While waiting in line
at the pharmacy
I discussed the cold weather
with the man next to me,
and as we talked
he informed me that:
“the worst thing
about cold weather
is when your nose hairs freeze,”
and so I pointed
to my mask and told him:
“this protects against that too.”

This is the real reason behind the internet censorship push. So they can murder people unencumbered. All the wealth and power in the world and even the "good ones" still need blood.

Y'all should check it out. It's one of those games that I don't want to spoil ANY part of, and probably even the store page and trailers tell you a bit much.

Though the character was not intended I think to be consistently objectively correct (and wasn't), Morpheus in Deus Ex at one point says people hunger to be judged, not to be free, and I think about that a lot.
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥
