Many of you are psyching yourself up to start that dream project in 2026.
AWESOME
Just keep in mind that devoting your free time to achieving your dreams is not the same as Hustle Culture. Keep your mind on you and your art and don't fall into the trap of thinking every minute should be monetized.

They don’t want us to notice. They don’t care if we suffer. They don’t care if we were raped.
This is the first nationwide abortion ban under Trump. It likely won’t be the last.

IUPAT President @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social is right:
Temporary Protected Status recipients are rigorously vetted, pay taxes, and do work in critical industries. They are part of our communities and our unions—they deserve respect and protection.
America’s unions will keep fighting for them.

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.
![Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less."
She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards.
They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it.
This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil.
The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option.
"We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents.
"We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreiber7g4o5pujmzmjjzsp5dkz7blfexburuwjispfpv6dki7akjb7a@jpeg)

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

I think we could co-opt #CaptainAmerica the way cops co-opted The #Punisher. Rewatch the first two movies. There's a lot of good footage in them that we could be using. I mean if he could do what he did to Hydra AND STILL pick up #Mjolnir. That would really piss some people off.

Usually stoic Kushner silently panics as Witkoff spills the beans on the Trump regime’s war profiteering in Gaza - they’ve been working on for ‘TWO YEARS’🤔
(But don’t worry, apparently $50 Billion is “not a lot of money”! 💰🙃)
PSA: This slip-up should be a big deal.
