Hello everyone! I have regained control of this account!

Glad to see someone continuing this. Just because one of has fallen to others’ shenanigans doesn’t mean we cant keep up the work other marginalized folks did that made this place worth it despite the ghouls in charge of it

Call your reps and tell them to OPPOSE this nightmarish bill NOW!

NOT tomorrow! NOT next week!

RIGHT. NOW!

There’s still a chance to beat this to the ground, so get going!

#SaveSpeech

I want to remind people that when there is a call to action to "contact your reps", it needs to be more than once

Going forward, contacting your reps needs to become part of your routine, at the very least during the work week.

Sustained pressure over time is what matters!

The Struggle 💤

BUT HEY!

THAT'S JUST A Segway to remind you that the FNAF creator/this movie's screenwriter, Scott Cawthon, donates the money he makes from FNAF stuff to far right politicians, many of whom are currently trying to make things worse for everyone, specifically trans people. Don't support this film.

KOSA has amassed more cosponsors recently, jumping from 42 to 60 total

You need to call your reps and DEMAND that they oppose this legislation ASAP

The link below contains more info about KOSA and an easy way to contact your reps
5calls.org/issue/kids-o...

Please call DAILY

This is actually what is going to happen.

That’s already what’s happening in Lebanon. Israel kills regularly, violates the ceasefire agreement on an hourly basis.

It’s just not on the news anymore.

This is why pressure against Israel mustn’t just continue, but increase.

I wanna hear about the hot sauce brands

A small victory! Chat Control has been tabled for now, but it can [and likely will] be brought up for vote again in December

In the meantime, EU citizens will need to continue pressuring their respective govts to oppose chat control

However, do so knowing that pressure WORKS.

Really hammer your reps about how catastrophic this is and how bad these laws are for peoples online safety

Thinking about how Newgrounds’ policy during this whole thing has been, “If you can give us money or you’re old enough to know what The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny is, you’re clearly 18. Now leave us alone” and it’s worked out for them.

Hence so people should enjoy the fruits of their labor!

People who try to make fun of me for drawing porn for a living when they hear that I make good money, work whatever hours I feel like, charge whatever I want, don't have to commute for hours a week to and back from work and can just tell annoying customers to fuck off

Lots of people forget that the people who draw porn are also people who had to work horrible jobs just to fund and execute their current way of life.

It's something that's built over a long time of both getting good at art and being able to patreon and patreon like services

They don't discriminate.

Nobody fucking likes it when I talk about this shit but it is honestly maddening when people I would like to love & respect all get together to loudly declare The Brain Damage Disease Presently Destroying Multiple Generations Does Not Concern Us

Generation Exile on Steam You are aboard humanity’s first and final generation ship, a last-chance expedition now teetering on the rim of collapse. One step at a time you must rebuild society and the ship’s fragile ecosystems ...

I'll give credit where it's due: a majority of the @vangamegarden.bsky.social volunteers were masking. Also shoutouts to the single masked dev whose gaze I met over our respective respirators. He was tabling for Generation Exile so give it a wishlist

Your personal odds of flipping Heads are unknowable, but it's been known for years that they fall massively with good-quality masking. Not only that, but you also reduce the Heads chance of everyone in the room! All by wearing a piece of textile you can get for under a dollar

If you score Heads on your first flip, another coin is flipped. Scoring Heads there gives you a positive infection. Another Heads might give you a symptomatic infection. Heads again, it lasts a month. Heads again, Long COVID. Heads again, disabled for years.

Consider now that every breath you take in a crowded indoor environment like @vangamegarden.bsky.social is a coin flip, where "heads" is replaced with "inhaling a virus that will damage your brain". People take 6-12 breaths/minute, more if they're talking. Hundreds of flips an hour!

You win Unfair Flips when you can flip a coin & get heads 10X in a row. Your starting heads chance is 20%, but you can upgrade it incrementally. Most players can hit 10 heads within an hour or so of dedicated flipping & upgrading. The current speedrun record is under 10 minutes

Unfair Flips on Steam A non-idle clicker game about flipping a coin that hates you. Starting with just a 20% chance of getting heads, can you get ten heads in a row?

Perhaps putting it in terms of a popular new release will illustrate my concern: my buddy @hthrflwrs.bsky.social recently released Unfair Flips, a game about probability, luck, and outcomes that are inevitable with time

"The fact that COVID infections damage our brains is not debatable. There are hundreds of studies to support that COVID affects the brain, leading to memory, attention, executive function, and mental health issues. Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly already put together a great compendium of information and research concerning what we know about COVID and the brain last year- although, of course, more has emerged since then. His piece, COVID-19 Leaves Its Mark on the Brain, is subtitled, “Research shows that even mild COVID-19 can lead to the equivalent of seven years of brain aging”. The piece thoroughly reviews the cognitive risks of COVID; below is a selection from a longer list of studies in the piece: Large epidemiological analyses showed that people who had COVID-19 were at an increased risk of cognitive deficits, such as memory problems. Imaging studies done in people before and after their COVID-19 infections show shrinkage of brain volume and altered brain structure after infection. A study of people with mild to moderate COVID-19 showed significant prolonged inflammation of the brain and changes that are commensurate with seven years of brain aging. Laboratory experiments in human and mouse brain organoids designed to emulate changes in the human brain showed that SARS-CoV-2 infection triggers the fusion of brain cells. This effectively short-circuits brain electrical activity and compromises function. Studies show that even when the virus is mild and exclusively confined to the lungs, it can still provoke inflammation in the brain and impair brain cells’ ability to regenerate. COVID-19 can also disrupt the blood brain barrier, the shield that protects the nervous system – which is the control and command center of our bodies – making it “leaky.” "

This piece reminded me of an unfun thing I've wanted to talk about since attending the @vangamegarden.bsky.social showcase, which is that of the 100-odd devs tabling there, I observed only one (1) wearing a mask for an event with 100s-to-1000s of attendees

It was a real joy seeing the Vancouver gamedev community out in force, showing off things they've been toiling away at for years. I saw friends & colleagues I've known for well over a decade. These are smart, moral people. It's hard to square that with what I know about the risks of this behavior

"But the other threat of COVID, particularly at the population level, is its ability to reinfect. Because if COVID were a one and done virus- a virus that bestowed lifelong immunity, like measles or polio (generally) do, the cruel logic of “let it rip” and “back to normal” would ultimately work for the “survivors”. For those who didn’t die, for those who didn’t develop Long COVID from their one and only infection, for those who didn’t suffer brain damage or too much bodily damage on their first shot out of the gate, then that would’ve been it. We really could’ve gone back to normal. For those who’d been harmed, well life sucks. Losers lose, winners win. And this is the attitude that the people who consider themselves “unharmed” by COVID have very publicly and boisterously put on as they took their masks off these last several years. But COVID isn’t a one-and-done virus. And it doesn’t reinfect at a rate that is similar to other viruses of its severity. It’s more severe than the flu, yet the average person only contracts flu once or twice a decade. People are contracting COVID every year or so (and if you think you aren’t, bear in mind that 40+% of COVID infections are asymptomatic)- some people twice a year. People are spinning that roulette wheel- or rather, the Russian roulette wheel- often. Like, really often. Like, way, way, way too often. The danger of COVID is its inherent danger, yes, but it’s also its relentlessness. It’s that when you get away with your 5th infection it’s coming right back for you a 6th time. A 6th time in year 6? And you’re a 6-year-old child? Is it really such a mystery that teachers are complaining that “COVID babies” can’t say their names or tie their shoes coming into kindergarten? We’ve been serially infecting children with a virus that damages their brains. We know it does this. And we just…. keep doing it? "

As game developers, we are extremely hard workers whose trade is inextricably linked to our mental agility. Perhaps pubic appearances are unavoidable, but doing so unprotected in a crowded high-risk environment is just... reckless, frankly. For yourself, your team, your loved ones
