BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

There's an essay in me about this very topic. How minorities get the label of activist shoved onto them for simply asking to respected as human beings, is annoying at best and dehumanizing at worst.
God I'm so sick of how "Activist" is used to un-person trans people.

my partner and i can no longer buy a home together because they were fired by Rockstar, without warning,

*checks notes*

for talking about working conditions with their colleagues in a private union discord server.

🙂
EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".

PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

I'm particularly pleased that people are taking so well to this piece, in part because I've recently been thinking a lot about how politics & TTRPGs intersect--not just how games perform politics but how we perform politics within them

so suffice it to say that ✨there's more where that came from✨
"It's arguably most productive to view public action against an oppressive force specifically as a game — not as a trifle, but as a series of moves with an end state."

Contributor @therisingtithes.bsky.social connects RPG prep with the increasingly vital labor of public protest.
What does Session Zero of a protest look like?
Games as rehearsal for the streets.

When ever one of those AI bros tires to tell you that artist are gatekeeping art remember that pros, armatures, hobbyist all stopped what they where doing to provide guidance to a newbie artist over the shared experience that "this one angle is hard to draw"
The "Frieren Looking Up" Art Trend attracted some Big Names in Animation! Excited for Season 2?

#telekitneticart #indigenousart If you weren't aware already, this is the unfortunate hand I've been dealt this holiday season: having to job hunt in the winter while a potential recession is on the horizon.

This hacker conference installed a literal antivirus monitoring system
Organizers had a way for attendees to track CO2 levels throughout the venue—even before they arrived.

The “google is using your email to train AI” debacle is imo most instructively seen as tracer dye for multiple failures: many people are instinctively skeptical of tech companies now; and many outlets that should have had experts able to cogently weigh in and go “wait a minute” simply don’t anymore.

studied graphic design

job hunting was all “you need three years experience”

moved cities to go to uni for CompSci

uni was meh, learned more in after hours from trans and/or furry people

i now do permissions witchcraft and use my air crash investigation obsession to train on-call engineers
