If you come in October you need a reservation, but then there’s no line

It’s really good, but I probably wouldn’t stand in line for it. But you can go into the store without getting coffee, and it’s really cool

Reminder to cis people that anti trans legislation can and will also hurt you, if you’re not already motivated to care about trans rights. We need stronger state level privacy laws around medical records in a post-Roe world for abortion rights, too.

Screenshot from the news article:

One bill expanded San Francisco state Sen. Scott Wiener's "State of Refuge" law, passed in 2022. The enhanced measure would prevent other states and private entities from subpoenaing private medical records.
At least four bills directly addressed trans protections, including Wiener's healthcare and patient confidentiality measure; streamlining legal name and gender changes, anu enhanced confidentiality requirements for court records; nondiscrimination protections for health insurance plans and an insurance company mandate to offer a
12-month supply of prescription hormones; and a requirement to ensure homelessness programs remain inclusive and nondiscriminatory, combatting federal efforts to force homeless shelters to ban trans people.

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

Gosh, @erikaishii.bsky.social’s performance as Ghost of Yotei’s Atsu is just phenomenal: a total cold-blooded badass, a softie for animals, stubborn to a fault, with an overarching sadness that cuts to the bone.

I keep thinking about this from twitter

“I don’t even gaf if the fate of ophelia has the best musical beat ever conceived, as an ACTUAL English major, I refuse to listen to a song that implies Ophelia might’ve reconsidered killing herself if she just dated a quarterback”
