Today I learned that a game I made in partnership with Jennifer Ann's Group has been de-indexed on Itch. A Thousand Cuts is a texting game - no other graphics, no depictions of human forms literally at all - about how hard it is to report sexual assault to Title IX adjudicators at universities.

I think "Get Out" was just basically set in the normal world we're usually expected to survive in without ten million dollars, so that's probably it for me

The Trans Uprising That History (Almost) Forgot Years before the Stonewall rebellion, this lesser-known San Francisco riot ignited a tradition of queer resistance.

1. You should know about the Compton Cafeteria riots... predating Stonewall, transgender people in San Francisco fought back against police brutality and anti-drag laws in the 60s.

A little history from S. Baum here.

Today in eBook pricing is absurd and abusive:

Mastermind: How to think like Sherlock Holmes

1 user ebook - $12.99
3 user ebook - $19.49

BUT NOT AVAILABLE IN THE UNITED STATES

The available in the US edition pricing is

1 user ebook - $85.00

And that's it

This book is 12 years old

I really enjoy weather! I find it kinda disorienting to have so little change over such a long time TBH. there was a hot week in there I've heard but I was in Vegas for it

This is legitimately insane. It's not an exaggeration to say this is actually a full on bathroom ban for trans people because they're banned from using spaces of their sex assigned at birth too!

Just watched a video where a woman writer shared how her mum came over to help. Her mum did all the housework, laundry, cooking, cleaning, and childcare so she could focus. During her mum's stay, writer TRIPLED her daily word count.
Then she said something that hit hard.
Most men have this kind of support their entire lives. Next time you call a man productive, consider that.
Damn. Still letting it sink in.

I mean, I don't know enough about RC to have an opinion on this specifically, but I don't think it's possible to go hard on inclusion and also believe in much by way of rigid norms? inclusion is all about having options to meet individual needs and attempting to find alternatives when needs conflict

Just a polite reminder that we owe the concept of zombies to voodoun/Haitian cultures as an externalization of the fear of being compelled to labor beyond what was supposed to be the Absolute Freedom of death.

I have a section of a bookshelf loosely categorized as "Internet apocalypse" with things like books about how to clean stuff without accidentally making mustard gas, basic first aid, etc

Mastercard deflects blame for NSFW games being taken down, but Valve says payment processors 'specifically cited' a Mastercard rule about damaging the brand Steam and Itch.io are worried about trouble with their payment processors, and Mastercard is not a payment processor.

Great work by PC Gamer showing MasterCard shares much responsibility for what happened to Steam
