honestly a little heartbreaking the number of other trans girls I've slept with who are amazed & grateful at how gently & sensually I touch them & how feminine it makes them feel

"I keep asking for gentle but I never really get it"

I don't have a superpower, folks; this is the easy stuff

my 2023 lesbian birthday orgy was one of the most beautiful & moving experiences of my life

there was so much love & community in that room - it felt... holy? sacred?

like, yeah, the sex was good but that was only part of it, it was the way we connected, but the connection was the important part

There has always been a small, noisy minority of gay people whose belief in gay rights boils down to "I shouldn't have to give up any of my prejudices because of who I am." And straight people in media have always fallen all over themselves to hire them.

How big was the party, if you don't mind me asking?

okay so we've been given a chronic medical condition by corporate polluters, and now it's incumbent on us to stop breathing. you love to see it.

girl who is married to her job: 'yea it was kind of a fucked apology arrangement after god had his first wife bumped off as a prank'

holy hell as someone who thought the initial controversy was kinda overblown, "yeah remember how we promised to donate money to charity yesterday, well we changed our mind and we're not sorry" has got to be pretty high up there in the Big PR Book of Things to Never Do

A cat playing with a shoestring during a game of Eyelet.

More of a cat interfering with a game of Eyelet by playing with a shoestring.

Round four of Eyelet. I (blue) have my second shoe string out. Then roll double sixes and have nowhere I can play, thus losing the game with a mostly open board.

@amabel.bsky.social introduced a friend to Eyelet. Had a very energetic third player force his way into the game.

Also had probably the quickest game ever. (Ended round four or five I think)

This remains funny to me because while I was going to pitch to Hollandspiele anyway, the fact that they didn’t want a sell sheet made me really excited that I didn’t have to share the weakest part of my game design efforts

It's an industry thing where a game is pitched by summarizing its key selling points on a single piece of paper, usually very slick-looking, image-heavy, bullet points

lots of publishers (& I guess designers?) love them but I hate them so much

" There all is aching " really speaks to me lately.

Oooh

the last episode of season 1 is such a well-constructed thing - the way the "jag-off" speech weaves through it, recontextualized, acquires a surprising emotional weight

I have a game idea that would be perfect for your company: it’s basically tabletop expedition 33 + souls combat and there are 1400 miniatures

hollandspiele's "don't send us sell sheets or TTS mods" game submission guidelines continue to make the pile of submissions I still have to go through smaller

It’s not that I have strong feelings on whether AIs are sentient (signs point to “are you fucking kidding”) so much as that either way, they’re massively incompetent at the critical work they keep getting assigned and continue to fail up.

Like I don’t know how you simultaneously undercut your argument for being a meaningfully decentralized platform while *also* doing a racism while *also* doing a transphobia while *also* proving to everyone you’re too petty and involved in forum drama to hold your position but Graber pulled it off

My qualifications are that I have moderated a lot of small online communities and also would ban Jesse Singal immediately.

hey bluesky if you need a ceo who isn't kinda terrible but don't want to deal with changing the account name, i'm currently looking for work

That's an amazing outfit!

SYWWAPP 🍆 - YouTube An unhinged comedy game show from Demi Lardner

oh duh you're probably asking about sywwapp

which thing

It's me! I'm wearing a flower pattern dress.

I worked most of the weekend. I'm hoping this week will be reasonably pleasant. One of my "comfort" shows is Review (American version) and another is the internet game show "So You Want To Win A Penis Pump?"

that is, I could have dumped it all on her at the start and she could have done likewise, and each of us would have said, "Okay. I choose you. You're not too much."

and that's so much better than being scared people will reject you if you tell them how you've been hurt, and how you carry that pain

like we didn't tell each other everything all at once but we've also never hid things from each other, it's always been honesty & vulnerability met with kindness & a genuine desire to better know & love the actual person & to take care of each other & with each other

increasingly comfortable doing an extensive on-boarding with people who are interested in me

"here are the ways I am damaged, here is how it affects me, now I fuckin dare you to still fall in love with me"

in retrospect it's kinda the secret to why Samhain and I work so well?

"95% chance to hit is a one in twenty chance to miss" is a phrase that's gotten me yelled at

Good lord.
