I uh... didn't know that a passport was over $200!
even more when it's expedited.

I was so focused on getting my name and gender changed that I've basically put everything I had into it, and I *still* need the id and birth certificate corrections.

The bigger any production becomes, the more likely it is to have reprehensible human being involved at some point in the chain. And knowing where to draw the line is difficult and a choice that I can't make for anyone else.

Being human is complicated. Things you love can cause harm in the world.

And of course there's the issue of ethical consumption being just a nightmare under capitalism. I love Doom, I love Ninja Gaiden, I love most of what Obsidian make. I've no issue with those studios (mostly) but they're part of the Microsoft Zaibatsu, which I'm boycotting and avoiding promoting. Bleh

This does not mean you should shovel money into the pockets of bigots. That's obviously bad.

But knowing the artist is a bad person does not suddenly disrupt the timestream. What was once good does not magically become bad. You don't need to pretend you never enjoyed things, or performatively deny.

This is less a subtweet, and more of a thought I just want to get out there:

Bad people can make good art.

When a game that people liked turns out to have been made by someone shitty, it doesn't instantly become bad. You don't have to go full Sour Grapes on it. Two things can be true at once.

I know a ton of awful stuff is happening rn but gdi I'm so annoyed w/the new steam controller design.

it's so bad b/c the pads, which are *the fucking highlight* of the controller, are in one of the worst positions it could be in.

when I use the original my right thumb rests on the right trackpad.
November 12, 2025 at 7:39 PM
I saw the steam controller and, as an original steam controller enthusiast, I am not pleased.

ppl who don't like the damn pads are literally just gonna plug some other controller into it and use that, so why back down from what made the controller so good by putting the pads in that awful position?

if there's a new steam machine coming out, then the only thing I care about frfr is what the new steam controller is going to look like, but she need to at least look *closely* related to her older sister as far as I'm concerned lmfao.

I'd really like to be liberated from the second hand SC market~

Reminder that cops have 0 duty to protect you, only property. That's constitutional policy. We say ACAB bc we mean it, they are literally made to suppress us and protect the landed gentry.
explained that police have no duty to protect people because their only job is to protect property rights, and an order of protection was "not the sort of 'entitlement' out of which a property interest is created." The right to be protected from harm by police, wrote Scalia,

I've been seeing a lot of pixel artists struggle with Bluesky's image compression, so I'd thought I'd share how to get clear, crisp pixels on the site!

Share to help a fellow pixel-artist!

wild af to me how this is the way I find out about this game that *should* be right up my alley lmfao jfc
Well, fuck. Revoking any and all Peripeteia recommendations (and I wish I could un-back it on Kickstarter) based on the very thinly veiled transphobia from the dev (the first one in the screenshots here).

I hate this.
Acquaintance grabbed these screencaps. Idk if it's getting purged.

"Second stage is people rejecting conspiracy discourse" is genuinely hilarious, I gotta teach em a little about Yakub and maybe they'll change their tune

The surgery is almost definitely getting delayed at this point; Payment is still due in two weeks.

A lot of other things are not going well right now and everything is severely unstable so I may go back offline from this end for a while
My car was declared a total loss and my top surgery date is in less than 2 months, so I'm just going to put this here again because if I explain the situation any further again I'm honestly going to have another mental breakdown

For anyone who was sleeping, major political news last night: a judge chose a new map for Utah that will deliver a seat to Democrats.

Major point in Dems’ favor that effectively neuters the GOP’s move in Missouri, much like California countered Texas.
Just now: The plaintiffs who were arguing that Utah GOP's congressional map is illegal won in court.

The judge orders one of the two maps submitted by the plaintiffs ('map 1') be used.

The ruling, if it stands, guarantees that Democrats will pick up a congressional seat in Utah next year.

At risk of flogging a dead horse: this whole letter is a reminder that the creative process is an end in and of itself, and vital to self-actualisation. You can’t experience BECOMING, as he puts it, by outsourcing it to ChatGPT.
In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

His reply was a doozy.

There are 1,700 ballots that need signature confirmation. That is enough to change the election.

Go. Check. Your. Ballot.

I'm tired of politiposting lol but it really feels like there's people in the govt whose job is to stop meaningful momentum.

we saw it in the 2024 election pretty clearly and here we are yet again. less than a week after significant political wins you got assholes being a very damp, stinky blanket.

It's Talk Money Week! ADHD and money is a TOUGH subject. 💸 🧠

You've got a closet full of impulse purchases, three different budgeting apps you never use, and a credit card bill that makes you want to hide.

ADHD brains and money management do not play well together. 🧵 ⬇️

no like deadass if they ***KEEP*** doing this shit then what is the fucking point of voting?

do they understand how much damage they've done?
how can anyone think they're not in collusion with republicans at this point?

it's really had to get ppl to care at all when shit like this KEEPS HAPPENING.
This is my favorite part of this cycle we've been repeating for my entire adult life: when they sit backwards on the chair for some real talk and explain that you're a fucking peasant who doesn't understand how things work.
