THE MERCHANT

Stepped out of the shower and the cold makes my skin feel too tight, like a shirt left in the dryer too long. I love Winter, but l don’t love the cold

Shadow Of The Colossus reskin where you play as a cat trying to take down a Christmas tree.

Feels like an appropriate time to boost this

Me trying to balance my mental health and my responsibilities

Tech seems different to me now. Video and computer games changed a lot. The industry feels like it changed a lot. I wonder if people today are making memories about gaming similar to the way I did. I truly hope so 2/

I miss the sense of wonder that technology and computers brought to me when I was younger. I remember buying a game boy advance and loving games like Super Mario Advance 2 and the GBA Final Fantasy games. I remember playing games like Myst and The Journeyman Project on the family computer 1/

You can love someone you love even if you don't love yourself🏳️‍⚧️
But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold.
So take care of yourself.
Your soul is beautiful.

Terry Pratchett's "boots theory" is now inaccurate in most cases as even the most expensive 'boots' are designed to fall apart so rich folk buy more.

An astoundingly clear sign that Bad Things allowed to happen to Any of us eventually affect All of us.

it's not even *just* evil. it's also promising a kind of technological immortality that is actually impossible with the technology they're using. even if this kid somehow has not gotten bored with talking to a shitty chatbot made from a 3 minute video call with his grandmother in multiple decades...

Exterior of a theater. The words “Paramount” and “Leading presenter of contemporary” are visible in the frame

Program for a play. A silhouette of a small figure is standing among silhouettes of barren trees. Their shadow, holding a blade and bathed in red light, stretches in front of them

I saw a play! My anxiety is usually so high that going to the theater is not usually something that I can do. The entire show is done using a kind of shadow puppetry. It was a wonderful experience and I am so happy I went

I early-voted last weekend. I doubt that my specific vote means anything, I am just one person. Maybe my ballot was more symbolic than practical. But I guess I voted because the other option was to not vote, to do nothing. And that didn’t seem right to me

I love the detail that their eye color matches the color of their dresses!

It is an unusually busy day for me today. Nervous. Excited. Nervicited

I had a good day

Posting through it but the “it” is anxiety

Akira Yamaoka’s Silent Hill 2 score is so good

How trans visibility became a trap People who have documented their lives online are discovering the dark side of digital permanence.

I wrote about trans visibility in a time of rising transphobia for @theverge.com www.theverge.com/cs/features/...

It’s wimdy outside

When I first started transitioning, I was very worried that the people that I loved and cared about would mourn who i was rather then recognizing who i was becoming. But, in my experience, people were able to see how much happier and more connected to life I became. And that made it easier for them

I absolutely do not have to hand it to *any* of these tools, but their apparent moment of clarity is interesting

Y'all told these motherfuckers it was OK to let trans people lose their rights. Now they're banking on people letting them abandon everyone who looks vaguely Latino as well as actual immigrants. Who are y'all advocating for moderation gonna abandon next?
