Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC.

Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA.

Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ.

Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

Accidentally loaded my new sprites over-top of the old sprites, so the medium, berry-less bushes were replaced with nothingness!

Screenshot of the video game, Stardew Valley. The playable character, a farmer in a red long sleeve and blue overalls, stands in a yard and looks towards the right of the screen at a large patch of grass cast in shadow. Three narrow shrubs pepper the field around them. Behind them, another patch of shadowy grass and a fenced-in garden. The garden contains a tree (only the trunk is visible), one pink flower, the top of a green bush with red berries, and a silver-blue bush with white berries.

The playable character, a farmer in a red long sleeve and blue overalls, stands in a yard and looks towards the top of the screen at a large patch of grass. Three narrow shrubs pepper the field around them and two large shrubs stand to either side. To the farmer's left there is a fenced-in garden. The garden contains a tree (only the trunk is visible), one pink flower, and a green bush with small red berries.

Can you spot the differences?

Imagine being in a monog relationship with someone your cheating on and thinking the problem is actually informed consent and communication

Nvm, let’s not imagine that.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:

“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”

Israel just killed him.

Downloading a driver for my old (2016?) Wacom Intuos Pro to get it to work with Manjaro has been the easiest part of this whole project somehow

Last I checked, huckleberries haven't been commercialised yet because they are difficult to propagate, and I think that's inspiring!

It takes a lot of effort to pick huckleberries, and as with all things, don't over pick them or use those rakes or you'll hurt the bush.

easily miss them! These ones are particularly strong and sweet, like the "wild" blueberries from the freezer section but stronger (and smaller)

Huckleberries grow well in old burns, usually in groups.

Blue Vaccinium species are called Blueberries.

I based the ones in the previous post on the huckleberries I like best, Vaccinium membranaceum I think -- Mountain Huckleberry or Black Huckleberry.

These berries like to hide underneath their leaves, unless you are looking up at them you could ...

Pixel art of two bushes next to one another. The bushes are angled such that the viewer can see the top of the bushes as well as the front-face of them. The bushes are green with dark green outlines and light red dots spaced randomly over the leaves. The rightmost bush has three black berries poking out from underneath the leaves, which are difficult to see as the berries nearly blend into the dark green outline of the leaves.

Huckleberries! There are so many varieties of huckleberries. According to Pojar and MacKinnon (*Plants of Coastal British Columbia*, 2004), "huckleberry" is often used as a catchall term for plants of the Vaccinium family that aren't blue.

The berry needs a some outlines, and maybe different colours? Still working on that. The biggest thing for me rn is that the bushes and the berry are in the game and they work the way they should! Also, once the season is over (mahihkanimin season in this case) the bushes go back to dark green.

A screenshot from the video game Stardew Valley. Two light blue/green bushes stand in the centre of the picture, next to one another. The rightmost bush is a little lower than the other and has three white berries. A farmer stands on the left side of the screen, looking directly at the bush with the berries.

Many hours did I put into this, today, and it sure paid off!

Mod update: Because of some unforeseen difficulties I had with making assets for Skyrim, I have chosen to switch to modding Stardew Valley!

It's a big shift, but I am excited, I already made a sprite! This is a berry-less silver berry bush, mahihkaniminânâhtik

A screenshot from the game Stardew Valley showing a pixelated, grassy field bordered by a river at the bottom and bottom-right corner of the screen. A human character is standing mid frame with their back to the river, looking left at three silvery blue bushes.

Wolf berry bushes, in game!!

In honour of the mauling of Ed Sheeran in today’s #Guardian, I’m reposting this magnificent review of Dan Brown’s “Inferno” by Michael Deacon from 2016.

Without doubt the most brutal and ruthless book review ever written.

A true savaging that stands alone. It is a work of art. 😂

'Deadly mix of hunger, disease': Amnesty report says Israel continues to use starvation as weapon of war | CBC News A new Amnesty International report says the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation — a controversial U.S.- and Israel-backed group that took over aid distribution in Gaza more than a month ago —  uses a militar...

At least 94 Palestinians killed yesterday - including 45 people waiting for aid. The genocide continues.

Without immediate action by Mark Carney, Canada will remain complicit.

Arms embargo now.
Sanctions now.
Suspend CIFTA now.
Support the courts.

These are the #BDS consumer boycott targets named in the ground breaking report "From economy of occupation to economy of genocide" by the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967.

That is devastating, i hope they can get your poetry and art back then. That’s soul crushing

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

If anyone here has tried the nehiyawerim mod, i’d love to hear how it worked for you! Did you use a mod manager? What one and what was that like for you?

Screenshot of two computer rendered donuts on a white marble surface, diagonal from the bottom left to upper right, the donuts are sitting side-by-side. Both donuts are yellow with pink frosting and lavender, teal, and red sprinkles. The leftmost doughnut has long, cheeto shaped sprinkles in different sizes, some are metallic while most are matte. The rightmost doughnut has similarly coloured sprinkles but all are spherical and of equal size.

Doughnuts progress!

NEECHIES IN EDMONTON, if you got a project you want to develop but need the cash, check out FIRE!

Ok, and now that I am starting the second part of the mod (adding prairie plants!), I am delighted to share that I got a Funding Indigenous Resurgence Edmonton grant to help with this part! Without further ado, this project is supported by the Edmonton Heritage Council and the City of Edmonton!

Largest Trans Survey Ever: Top Reason Trans People Stop Transitioning Is Transphobia “In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community.”

1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning.

- <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT.
- The most common reason for detransition, pausing transition, or stopping transition is transphobia.
