After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Do I want to learn Python? No. Do I want to make a dumb little discord bot for my own amusement? Yes. So here we are

The world is a sad and scary place, but sometimes you bought tickets eight months ago to something you were excited about and have to honor your past self by going to a concert full of music from a video game series you love.

The big turning point is when media like the New York Times and the Atlantic decided to go all in on attacking trans kids.
They fired anyone who disagreed and they had credibility that the right didn't have. It created a permission structure for bigotry to be seen as reasonable.

Lots of leopards eating faces comments etc but I am curious about the extent to which the discourse has been shifted to the right by propaganda because polls show that people were more progressive until the sustained campaign
We should not assume queerphobia is a fixed state of mind

I've been pretty depressed since Merry died, and the state of things in our fascist hellhole of a country haven't helped. Been trying to find small, positive things to be grateful for, like silly co-op games with friends, DnD with the hubs, etc. It doesn't always work, but I'm doing my best.

I need a new gaming headset as one of my foster dogs chewed the dongle for my favorite pair and I don't like the replacement pair I bought. Only two requirements: 1) very comfy ear pads, 2) mutes/unmutes when you raise/lower the mic. Suggestions appreciated!

Last night, we made the tough decision to put our beloved dog Merry to sleep after his struggles with pulmonary metastatic disease. I love him so much. I miss him already.

Dude, it's been such a long day. My in-laws are in town for Thanksgiving, and two minutes after I picked them up from their hotel, my MIL started having issues, and I wound up having to take her to the ER. That was 8 hours ago. They're admitting her for overnight observation

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) The LotR movies remain the ones I can watch over and over and over, and I think this one has increasingly become my favorite over the past several years. All the Rohan stuff is so so good. #filmsky 📽️

End of an era! If it wasn't for OLR, I would have never met my dear friend @kidmanproject.bsky.social; Rob introduced me to @djoslyn.bsky.social -- and Dan and I have been married for more than 13 years now. Funny how something as innocuous as a gaming podcast can change one's life forever!
A chapter closes on gaming podcast history with the FINAL Orange lounge radio. Be a part of it live in six hours at 9 eastern, 6 pacific. Catch Bobby live one hour before. twitch.tv/VOGNetwork

Happy November 20th. I accidentally clicked play on a video that featured the song "20, November" and something activated inside of me like a sleeper agent as I suddenly had the very strong urge to play DDR.

Wrapping up this Salesforce admin course I've been taking, and I'm getting a lot of anxiety. I have done extremely well on all of the modules and assignments, but I am a horrible test taker. I know what I'm doing but have doubts about how well that will translate to a 65-question timed exam.

I gave in and renewed my Game Pass for the month to play the Outer Worlds 2. I guess I was sneaking a lot because it offered to give me a flaw where I move 20% faster while sneaing but my knees make a loud creaking noise that enemies can hear from 10 meters away 😭 too real
