I am once again asking for some equivalent to a pop-up blocker that blocks the "would you like AI with that" messages sprouting up like spots of mold in every application

the most annoying thing about not feeding the trolls is that sometimes haters are just. deeply hilarious. so fucking funny. but you CANNOT be posting about them even if you dress them in the clowniest of shoes or put 'em on anon because that's still lettin' em suck on the attention teat. alas.

I think one of the more unfortunate consequences to creators being more interactive with fans is that a lot of fans/fandoms normalized this idea that creators have to explain/validate every headcanon they have.

20 years ago, normal people avoided technology and techies would jump on the newest gadgets as soon as they could

now, normal people buy smart toasters & coffee mugs while every techie I know is on the verge of retreating to the forest

I love seeing these No Kings rallies but it is just a teeny bit funny because we have a King and he is largely ignored because his mum died and took the last century of meaningful royal power with her

We should still dismantle the monarchy obviously

You are actually allowed to protect your peace.

It's so weird that bigots are always massive idiots. Probably just coincidence tho. /s

Did u bring enough transgender to share with the whole class

visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help.

Disability Pride Against Censorship We’re Disabled and Queer — Itch.io and the Payment Processors Are Starving Us.

We're disabled and queer. 🏳️🌈 We sell our writing to eat.

We launched two book sales — each has 20 books for $30. Itch bowed to conservative pressure, and hid them without warning.

Do you agree this is bullshit? Then help us make them pay.

CHRISSAKES CHECK THINGS FIRST

Solution is simple: Switch off the planet burning plagiarism machine that drives people insane and tells them to eat glue, instead reinvest in Flash and bring back little tie-in educational games for kiddies on the CBeebies website etc

Protect Queer Creators and Sex Workers - Tell Payment Processors to STOP TELL VISA, MASTERCARD, STRIPE, and PayPal to STOP

I know that the payment processors are the ones putting pressure on itch, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't hold itch accountable for its decision here.

Here's a resource for how to fight back against internet censorship.

Like Alasdair says: even if we made NSFW stuff it should not be delisted.
But nothing we make has been tagged NSFW or adult.

We have contacted itch support.
This is why supporting us directly is SO important.

I see grocery/takeout shaming discourse going around again, so this is your periodic historian reminder that cooking from scratch daily while working has never been sustainable, and for millennia everyone either relied on takeout & restaurants or ate in huge households w/ big dorm-like group dining.

I do not want AI in Slack. I do not want AI in Google. I do not want AI on Facebook. I do not want AI in documents or spreadsheets. I do not want AI in Adobe Acrobat. I do not want AI in Zoom.

Re-upping this. Today's news is incredibly significant and will stop many people from reaching specialized LGBTQ crisis services, but if you are a trans person reading this post, please know that the Trevor Project's direct hotline will remain available to you after the closure of the 988 option.

so wild there are these threads of radiant beauty just coursing through all things, and not only do we get to witness this glow, we get to pluck the strings ourselves and travel to the future or past through art and creation. all you have to do is reach out and strum to connect with the infinite

The only thing that has ever trickled down in politics is piss.

Billionaires are:
* Increasing water poverty
* Accelerating climate collapse
* Building luxury survival bunkers
* Attempting to replace the entirety of humanity with automation
* Building autonomous murder drones

At what point exactly do we get off our arses and defend ourselves?!

I just solved a work problem with math(s).

It's always weird when you deal with something that caused your younger self significant trauma and realise it's not a problem now.

Trans women are women. Pass it on. Trans men are men. Pass it on.

I remembered what it was I wanted to ask of allies this Pride Month;

Please don't tell me I'm 'valid' as an aromantic, asexual or nonbinary person. I KNOW. You KNOW. Most of Bsky KNOWs.

I'd rather you write to your MP or protest in some form against the erosion of trans rights in the US/ UK!

It’s not lazy to rest and take care of yourself.

It’s not wrong to ask for an accommodation or assisted device.

Your worth is not tied to your economic contributions, job or ability to produce for capitalism.

People only think otherwise because of rampant ableism. We can change the narrative.
