If you see someone outting a trans person or trying to transvestigate in public, you have a civic duty to openly treat them like shit and make them ashamed of being alive. Do not accept a world where our brothers and sisters live in fear of exposure so the state can murder them.

According to the official Pokemon Winds/Waves website, Pombon weighs 14.8 pounds.

The average healthy pomeranian reportedly weighs 3-7 pounds.

It is my pleasure to inform fans that we have a certified chonker on our hands.

I have known about Pombon for 2 minutes, but I would die for it and I would kill for it.

I would also take it on walks and feed it treats if we could just do that too. #PokemonWindWaves #Pokemon

I interviewed Kenny Omega about the experience of becoming Alex in SF6. I still can't believe I'm writing those words. Kenny's been a longtime favorite wrestler of mine, and to get to talk to him about STREET FIGHTER of all things. I love my job. www.youtube.com/watch?v=61ag...

I’ve been trying to keep my feels in check, but the Kansas news put acid in my veins. Sam and I are trying to move to KC in September. It’s my home. But I know you must be going through to it today too with that in mind. Take care where you can.

My first thought on #Marathon is that it feels very polished. Bungie’s attention to solid gunplay and very threatening NPC opposition is alive and well. My second thought is WHY DO OBS AND MARATHON FIGHT LIKE ANGRY CATS WHEN THEY’RE IN THE SAME ROOM

Made a shitty transphobe on twitter so mad they dropped words you actually can’t say over there and got themselves temp banned, and so I did a couple more tweets of burnout over the gagged corpse and then blocked, and I know that’s petty, but it felt nice to let some of the mean bitch in me out.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

Sam and I have been planning a move to Kansas City for about a year and just had to wipe half our choices for location off the board because Kansas's state gov needs to calm a bunch of inbred cousin fuckers they riled up with fantastical horror stories. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

it’s another dungeon-crawler demo report from me lol

but the pitch is what if you ran into the Hero’s Party and they were all damaged, beaten, and traumatized, and you have to pick one to try and escape with

and whatever you do, for god’s sake, don’t pick the priest (but you might have no choice)

There are very few people whose opinion on Resident Evil I would trust more than that of the guy who regularly turns these games inside out, sorts out their every nuance, and challenges himself to beat them in new and weird ways on the reg. When David says it's a 10, Capcom is truly cooking.

Well said. Those pictures got me misty-eyed man... Real Roy Batty moment.

I won't give up the energy that helped make those moments happen, and I hope we both make it to the other side as intact as can be.

Saudi Arabia bought EVO. We can still fight for the FGC's soul On what the new change of ownership means for EVO and the Fighting Game Community, and what we can do about it.

I got real mad and wrote about EVO.

Seems like a State of the Union should be a great place to learn more about what our nation's leadership intends to do, but I have better things to do than watch a fat old rapist lie to me poorly some more, so I'll just trust everyone to tell me about it later if it mattered.

If you missed Indie-licious this week, you missed a grab bag of great #SteamNextFest demos. Vampire Crawlers, Croak, and Spy Drops Gaiden were a blast and you can play their demos until March 2. Check them out, and thank you for watching! #indiegame #indiegames #indiedev

I have just obtained my fourth room, which I will make into my riches room, and I have assembled Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase wallpaper for the occasion. Very posh. Very money. Harumph. #AnimalCrossing #ACNH
