Hey artists and makers - if you’re seeing very few sales right now, please know that it’s not a reflection of your worth or skill. Across the board, not making back our table fees and expenses, and that’s really scary.
If you can, please shop small this season. We really need your support.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

I'm glad to see someone else talking about Vile: Exhumed, another game by an indie dev that was banned from Steam recently that deserves far more attention than it got. The creator chose to release the game for free and it's absolutely worth your time to play. Deeply affecting, raw, and unsettling
Steam are notoriously inconsistent and have been for years. For every game they block claiming one reason that's supposedly a hard line in the sand, they handwave five that drove a monster-truck over that same line.
Case, Vile: Exhumed. Banned for having real photography with *implied* nudity.

Giving parents the discretion not to vaccinate their kids is one of the strongest ways the state reinforces the parent-child relationship as one of ownership.
Your parents have the ability to decide whether you will die of preventable disease, because you are their property not a person.

To be very clear: Kennedy's team is messing with a vaccine which has led to a 99 percent drop in the incidence of hepatitis B, which kills, early and painfully, 25 percent of the children who get it.

“Their game is, let’s really destabilize trust in the vaccine, and make people really anxious about it.”

The most dishonest White House in U.S. history (by far) wants us to trust them when they say every person in every boat they blew up was a drug runner. There is no logical reason to believe they're telling the truth. The whole operation isn't even about drugs. It's about stealing Venezuela's oil.

Pantones color of the year basically being white is… 😬 the epitome of mediocrity and chromophobia ESPECIALLY with current historical events and the catering to white supremacy.
