it's so funny to be like "young people don't like this series any more because of LIBERALISM" instead of the like twenty other obvious reasons
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com
Younger generations “have fallen out of love with Harry Potter because they have fallen out of love with the worldview the series represents,” writes Louise Perry. “Which is to say that young people have fallen out of love with liberalism.”

While Apex Sweeper's art is Patreon/Kofi only, I can share some GUI by @skolaztika.bsky.social! Apex is inspired by detective stories, so why not have a thematic Episode Select screen inspired by 20s movie posters! I plan to have a different image for each episode :3 #sonicthehedgehog #sonicartist

There's too many games is not the issue, the issue, imo as a developer is getting people to look at and then be interested to play my games and that's true to anyone that makes games, or books, or comics, or any form of media.
Outreach and getting eyes on it has been the problem.
But as a comsumer?

Still on old Law&Order. They brought back Jamie Ross as a guest character, and the barbs she and Abbie Carmichael trade...! They're both very ethically driven, but come from very different places. Also, Carmichael is younger and hotheaded while Ross has a life outside of her work. Amazing tv!

Gotta say, Stripe customer service just straight up saying "we don't support the sale of any LGBT content" was not on my bingo card for this campaign. Hopefully this will be getting lots of attention from all over soon! Tell any journalists and rights orgs you know about it today!
Same during my call- the wording I used was “non-explicit, legal, non-adult LGBT content”, and I got back the response that “yes, stripe is blocking this. We’re a private company, we make our own rules about it.” Was hung up on when I asked why.
