Dandar’s Games and Books in Arcata (Humboldt County) also burned. Here’s a link to the fundraiser. There’s one for Northtown Books that I’ll put in the comments

afaik it isn't confirmed that SNAP is getting cut in november but there has been news of the potential due to the gov. shutdown. if u or loved ones rely on snap, i implore you to take advantage of programs like this!! local food pantries & soup kitchens too!!

In creative fields, compliment your coworkers’ work when you like it. Many have never had a coworker compliment their work before. A compliment is a show of professional trust and if you never show it then you’re a real crap

I cannot stress how important Rebecca has been for trans gamedevs. I wouldn't be here if not for her and her wife.

Help if you can.

Luka is great! I always enjoy seeing your art of him. I’m a bigger guy myself and it’s nice to see my body type treated with such reverence in someone’s work.

one of the less-discussed harms of the housing affordability crisis is how it makes escaping from abusive living situations borderline impossible. i'm not even just talking about teens, i mean folks well into their 20s and 30s who came of age into an impossible job market and can't afford to leave

What happened to Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social:

ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday.

Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events.

Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:

Crunchyroll revoked their Library Outreach Program which allowed public libraries to access their streaming library for free, destroying anime clubs across the country.

hyperfixating on ocs can feel weird as hell theres no tv show no videogame no webcomic no fandom no nothing its just me losing my marbles in the kitchen making all the damn food for myself IM GOING CRAZY

Ooof cops…

This may be controversial, but if you see someone stealing food, NO YOU DID NOT!

You don’t steal food for resale, you don’t steel food for the thrill, you steal food because you are hungry. So mind your own business if you see it.

Is it still tasseography when you're reading the milk, not the grounds?

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

I don’t remember the exact timeline but I remember playing the entirety of Outer Worlds while recovering from top surgery. I don’t think I would have had the uninterrupted time to focus on that without being forced to be home recovering.

Meanwhile, here in Maine, AI crawlers have rendered the server that manages our statewide interlibrary loan unreachable by legitimate attempts to pass through requests/information

Again, but louder: the server can’t be reached by libraries and the folks trying to use them BECAUSE OF AI CRAWLERS.

A small house, trees and electrical poles can be seen in the background, with Mt. Fuji faintly hovering over them in the distance.

oh my gosh their arguments against this being a class action lawsuit are so goofy. its bad because "seven million claimants would kill the company" and "it would be difficult to figure out the rights and compensation for each of the 7 million" so whyd you steal from 7 million people??? dingus!

Game discovery remains an issue with so many games releasing every month. It's genuinely hard to keep up.

What is good? What will I like? What are things outside my comfort zone worth recommending?

I really hope Ludocene kicks off so we can all be a bit less dependent on magical algorithms ♥️
