Little did I know when handing my 2DS with the Hatsune Miku rhythm game on it to my 4 year old kid that she would still be periodically playing that game 9 years later and using it to save her song ideas. Well-designed games surely are a treasure. The Switch version is apparently not as fun.

If anyone is homeless or in prison, you do not have a "strong floor," period. If you support the state violently preventing rich people's second homes from being squatted, your agenda is not that of abundance but of squandering stolen land with urban sprawl.

If you found early pictureplane's singing style off-putting (I didn't, but it wasn't my favorite either) note that on his latest release, he's embraced the lower end of his register.

The IDF executed two Palestinian men in Jenin. They verified that they were unarmed, told them to walk back to the building, and then shot them dead.
Observers condemn Israeli army's killing of two Palestinian men in northern West Bank as 'shocking crime'.

Seeing one terf get fired from a paper reminds me how maddeningly small the actual core of the anti-trans hate movement is. As bigoted as the general population tends to be, most aren't willing to make personal sacrifices to that end.

Use the leverage you have over relatives. Sometimes that means hurting your standing. Oh well. It's worth it when opposing racism, transphobia and so on.
