Just realized that Little V has a pro-trans rights patch on his jacket, which makes me feel that much better about really enjoying his style, which is right in line with things I like to aspire to with my own creativity: youtu.be/0OFrnJ_ZHgU?...

Training my elderly cat to expect tasty wet food every time he hears the sound of the pill cutter was a fantastic move, honestly; he was already well-behaved for pills before, and now he comes running for it.

A photo of a stuffed lox, which is a creature from the Valheim game resembling a very fuzzy ox with a lizard's head, with paper hearts hanging above it, mimicking the game's reaction when you pet one.

Lox loves you #valheim

Grats!!

Yeah, I can see that there's an attempt to make those systems viable compared to previous iterations, but as I said... it still looks like a work in progress.

Another screenshot of a Critter Crash game where nearly every allied unit has massive buffs to Attack and Health, bringing them from starting values of 1-2 to over 800 in a single match.

I made it worse.

A screenshot of a Critter Crash game, showing how one unit that began with 1 Attack is buffed all the way to 517 Attack, and two other units that began with 2 Attack and 2 Health have been buffed to over 1000 each.

So I like that #Reverse1999 is balancing Critter Crash to see more use out of things like Ember, but I feel like mmm... maybe some fine-tuning is on the horizon.

thank you!!! and just in time for the weekend too, it's like a small gift from the world saying now i can relax.

hilariously, i always use my 'raid leader/main tank' voice whenever i present, and once more i was complemented on having a 'calm, soothing delivery' which i think is hilarious because it feels like i'm standing in fire in both situations.

Big presentation went well today, now to lie down and be functionally deceased for the rest of the evening.

Picture of a gray haired woman wearing a shirt that reads on the back “come see my daughter’s film A Woman’s Work at Santa Barbara Film Festival 2/11 at 11:20am 2/12 6:20pm I am a Jewish mother seeking a girlfriend/future wife for my filmmaker daughter (she is multilingual and has an adorable dog). Please inquire with me”

Best advertisement I’ve seen so far at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival

In continuing 'midwest hospitality,' apparently the bill not only allows policing of both private and public restrooms, it also will force labeling of multi-stall gender-neutral spaces (both private and public) into male and female categories, stripping away that option as well.

While this absolutely sucks, we are going to see a lot more places implementing universal global age verification over this next year, because the number of states and countries legally requiring it has gotten to the point no one can keep up anymore.

This thread would also be remiss without a nod towards Tumblr's overactive banning of 'female presenting' body parts in 2018, which hilariously got my own Tumblr flagged as Adult Only for nearly a decade somehow, but which similarly purged and banned content indiscriminately.

(Speaking of which, I need to continue getting back in the habit of Dreamwidth updates, hello my backlog.)

It is so important to remember the lack of control we have as creators over the spaces where we feature our works, and to defend the spaces that allow us some agency intentionally because they have been informed by the same past actions -- AO3, Dreamwidth, etc.

Open sites like AO3 exist for a reason in response to these events (and are critically important), and when you *have* lived through the sudden permanent erasure and revoking of access to materials, Discord's actions are par for the course.

I was putting my thoughts together around the upcoming Discord age gate and was going to reference LJ's Strikethrough (2007) and the various FFnet purges (2002 and 2012) before realizing that these date back nearly 20 years in LJ's case. There's a whole fan generation who never experienced that.

1980s is when Japan gets its first big wave of Brazilian dekasegi + illegal immigration from West Asia to meet its Bubble-era labor demands. No functional habeas corpus here and you can still see the institutional thumbprint of the Kempeitai in the Immigration Bureau's treatment of detainees.

Seeing people online trying to argue that this clip from Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway’s Flash isn’t political and is not inspired by real world politics at all so I will present it here with no commentary so you can come to your own conclusion

Half-dreamed I woke up straight into Monday instead of the weekend, and I still feel like I'm already in a work week.

"We would have lost so much if we'd driven him away" is the justification.

But we lost all those girls. We lost the women they would have become. We lost the work they would have done. Why was his future work so much more valuable than theirs?

There’s an interesting lawsuit out of Connecticut I’ve been following that rests on the question of whether darkness — yes, darkness, the primordial Erebus himself— is a natural resource. Here’s why that’s potentially a big deal.

re: last repost: I could not tell you how many times I've become excited about a character / etc and started drafting up the start of a idea I was really interested in -- only to come across someone loudly scorning that same take.

And I have quietly put away that idea and never touched it again.

the fictional character you're ragging on won't hear you but the oomf who's hesitating to post art or writing involving that character certainly will

I am once again asking for artists who have never had substantial breast tissue to fucking stop it with the "only the top half is covered, the bottom half is exposed and not at all supported but somehow not sagging like mad" bullshit

Kansas Advancing Anti-Trans Bill Allowing Bounty Hunters To Patrol Private Business Bathrooms The bill, which is racing through the Kansas legislature, stands a significant chance of passing the Senate.

Midwest trying to beat even Florida in sheer cruelty yet again -- adding invasive bounty hunters for bathrooms, affecting private businesses as well as public, invalidation (and forced reissue and penalties) for driver's licenses and passports, and more:

Congrats on getting it done and posted! 🎉
