Thank you to @authorsabb.bsky.social heroes @beccacoffindaffer.bsky.social and Ed Underhill, we have some slides that can be shared by anyone about this, with particular reps to target. Let's kill this bill in committee.

I think this is one of those things that's stunning, in all the worst ways, and most of them aren't obvious.

Let's start with the basics: there are about 5.5 million trans Americans. This means that *nearly 10% of the entire trans population of the nation* has moved.

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

Big ditto here.

Saying "Indies are the future, AAA doesn't matter" doesn't acknowledge the many ways indie can also be unsustainable/exploitative--and it doesn't respect the craft of AAA devs! So many cool people making incredibly cool things that couldn't exist otherwise!!
Solidarity is important.

Saving for it :/

I promise you it's not that hard. Do some good by literally saving some money

Just a reminder while this is a victory, it's not over yet until Discord completely gives up on the age verification nonsense. Don't resubcribe to Nitro immediately.

A little pseudo 3d environment I was working on for a game that will be the successor of snippo.
The actual game environment might not be so dense though, but for testing it looks nice.

Only two modern movies have triggered panic attacks for me. First is Beau is Afraid and the other is Uncut Gems.

Till the second one. Legends is a super charming but janky first outing filled with exploratory design. It's almost designed to disappoint you 30 years later when you have to face The Game instead of The Thing in your Imagination.

The second one is a solid ass zelda-like with great storytelling
