Uncertain on stream today! We'll see! Might either make it a casual chatter stream or just take a rain-check til Friday!

Or we COULD do the spookies! Check in around an hour!

Long day out and about, so I'm a bit tired.

Just a reminder that anti-queer and anti-trans policies aren't actually popular.

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.

Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

In Brazil, duding Bolsonaro's government, we repeated the phrase "no one lets go of anyone's hands"

We defeated him by sticking together. We defeat hate by helping ~everyone~ who is suffering. Protecting trans rights is protecting human rights

I just hope more people start realizing that

What if the Sonic version of my mascot was a Diamond Cutter? It wouldn't happen but he would have found the uniform for one.

Never forget that Dolly Parton gave a million bucks for covid research at the *very start* of the pandemic—including money that helped fund the development of the Moderna vaccine.

These new Mystery Skulls Animated clips are posted on our most recent patreon update, but I thought I'd share them directly here too for easier viewing. We wanted to show off two compiled scenes we've been putting together for the next video!

This is a really good explanation of why I have a hard time completing projects, or a fear of considering them done.

I don’t want to fall short of my expectations because my goals are too entangled with feelings of self worth.

I don’t know how to detangle that from my art, but feel it would help.

InkyInGreen 🍂 @blackwallmancer.bsky.social · 6d

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

A new KEEPER gif appears! It's hard to figure out walking, at least at first. You'd be surprised too, if you suddenly grew four new legs! But with a little practice (and a few tumbles), those legs would be ready for adventure.

Wishlist KEEPER on Xbox or Steam today!

You can subscribe to PBS for a few dollars a month.

Cancel Disney, Paramount and Amazon.

Vote with your dollar and give to the people and organizations who are still fighting back.

Who are trying to make a difference.

Who aren’t owned by billionaires.

Eric Deggans @edeggans.bsky.social · 7d

Today marks the first day in the 55-year history of PBS and 54-year history of NPR that public media has broadcast to its audiences without federal funding. But even though lots of local outlets are at risk, PBS and NPR are still here, providing fair, accurate news coverage and will not be silenced.
