If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

This is it. Way past time for everyone in this country - literally everyone - to find practical ways to support trans people and immigrants, this regime's primary targets.

Starting right now, find something practical to do to actually help people.

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license.

They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.

This is pure cruelty.

Let's see if we can raise $10,000 today for red state or national queer orgs. Post proof here in the replies that you donated to a red state or national queer organization and I will share.

Who's with me?

(I can't donate myself because I'm a journalist who covers these orgs)

Twitch is requiring new Affiliates, before their first payment, to give government photo ID and a separate photo to Persona, the same Persona that has connections to government mass surveillance programs. When I asked Twitch support for another option, they said there isn't one. #twitch #persona 1/4

Somehow nothing and everything happens all at once. This is the most overstimulating and understimulating movie Iโ€™ve ever seen at the same time. The AI concepts feel almost entirely disconnected from whatโ€™s happening, establishing shots are 45-seconds long at points and then charactersโ€ฆ (2/3)

With the Switch 2 era now in full swing, Xenoblade fans have been clamoring for the series to receive the next-gen upgrade. Eight Months Later, we got what we wanted with Xenoblade X: Definitive Edition's Switch 2 Edition. The real question is... Is it worth its asking price?

A digital painting of Link from Ocarina of Time. He stands holding the Triforce glowing in his hands, with the windows of the Temple of Time slightly visible in the background. Only the bottom half of Linkโ€™s face is in frame. From the Triforce flow vibrant lines of images, each containing a series of โ€œmemoriesโ€ from across the Zelda series in the form of small individual scenes, each representing one of the Legend of Zelda games.

Hey yall this is your chance to show the trans community you really are an ally and you're not just saying it for brownie points!!

-Do not support ANY of this
-JK Rowling has said on numerous occasions that her income goes DIRECTLY into anti-trans legislation in the UK
-Seriously. NONE. Of it.

That said, I will be working on a Mario Party minigame rant, hopefully ready on April Fool's day proper this time! It should be like a 30-minute one that's more jokey and ranty.

The memory of Xenoblade 3 that I have in my head right now is fuzzy. Like, I remember loving it, but so many conversations I've seen and participated in ended up highlighting some shortcoming or sticking point. It's so strange, but I know this game deserves a heaping of praise. I know that I want-

Alright, with that Katamari-sized project out of my system, it's finally time to start working on getting Xenoblade 3 footage. I'm legitimately scared to know what I'm going to think. I haven't revisited the full experience of this game since end of August 2022 after it came out. Over 3 years ago...
