Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 2d

The table of contents for Read This When Things Fall Apart is a crisis directory—“read this if…” [insert heartbreak, setback, disaster, or breaking point]. I wish I could gift a copy to every activist in Chicago. You can donate a copy to an activist in need here: www.akpress.org/read-this-wh...

The cover for the book, Read This When Things Fall Apart: Letters to Activists in Crisis. The cover art features a person wading into a body of water in the woods at night.

someone in a podcast I listened to today said like "all the developers that worked on legendary games in the 90s would never be able to get into the industry today" and I think that might be entirely accurate

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

Anyone: Why are there suddenly so many AHDH diagnoses?
Dr. Jen: Same reason there are suddenly more stars after we built telescopes.

Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.

I read the hashtag first as “Steam Autism Sale” and I’m like, “yes, this is relatable content” 😅

You should get and play this anyway because it’s good

I never made it to the shield 🥲 I still have my noob sword, my full size Titan shield from Carnival, and the tiger print they gave me as a farewell gift. It’s funny how your perception of the value of those objects changes over time or with your relationship to the company.
