MC Shakes here has mild cerebellar hypoplasia, is deaf, and possibly needs a spay revision to fix her sutures coming undone and giving her a little hernia, but she gives 0 f’s about any of that. She just wants attention.

Video games are cool because they let you experience things you can only fantasise about IRL.

For example, in The Sims, you can afford a house if you have a full-time job.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Attention span so shot that when I’m actually reading a book the voice in my head goes, “I’m reading a book, I’m reading a book” and therefore I don’t absorb the meaning of any of the words I’ve read.

When I say I sobbed like a baby at the end of Miles, I mean I was ugly crying on the couch, couldn't catch my breath, had hot tears running down my face. That game unexpectedly wrecked me. #videogames #insomniacgames

I might actually have finished (edits and all) chapter one of my monster creature, fantasy, deep sea, sapphic slow-burn novel! Like, no more tweaking, changing scenes. Final. What is this feeling???

The #needle quivered in his hands, a trembling balance between hope and destruction. One wrong stitch and the fragile sail would tear, leaving them adrift. He drew a deep breath, the sound of the wind screaming louder than his heart. #vss365 #ofmd
