All 1,074 games tagged as "physical" sorted by play style, with language, engine, and genre notated to the best of my ability:

The way parents have been pushing back on divisive narratives and showing compassion for everyone impacted is a true show of community. It says so much about Tumbler Ridge.

Why Transgender People Are Not Feeling Gavin Newsom We have seen this song and dance before.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.

I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.

There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women" The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."

Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.

It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Our latest.

I posted on *three platforms* just over *20 minutes* after Radio-Canada first misidentified this innocent trans woman as a mass shooter on national television in a 6:00pmET broadcast.

I tagged Radio Canada and Patrice Roy.

They didn't issue a correction until after 2:00pmET today.

Unacceptable.

Yesterday afternoon, an active shooter opened fire at Tumbler Ridge Secondary school.

The incident left nine dead, including students as young as 12.

As details emerge, there's still a lot we don't know.

But one thing is certain: we must not allow hate to grow from the roots of tragedy:

11.02.2026 21:50 β€” πŸ‘ 286    πŸ” 60    πŸ’¬ 16    πŸ“Œ 1

These fucking ghouls out here layering hate onto tragedy for their own disgusting political purposes.

The shooter's gender identity doesn't fucking matter. It only matters to sick fucks trying to exploit a mass tragedy to drive an agenda of hate that will kill more kids.

Monsters, all of them.

Trans Journalists Association Stylebook and Coverage Guide The Transgender Journalists Association’s Stylebook and Coverage Guide is a tool reporters, editors, and other journalists can use to improve news coverage of trans people and the stories that affect ...

Hey Canadian media ... "born as a biological male" is not the move when you're reporting on what happened in Tumbler Ridge.

Here's is the @transjournalists.org Style Guide if you are covering this story today

The Tumbler Ridge shooting is already fuelling anti-trans hate in Canada | Xtra Magazine Bad actors on the right are leaping to connect the shooter’s trans identity to the violence

NEW from me today:

Tumbler Ridge is mourning a horrific loss. But how the shooter's identity is being talked about online, and the dangerous links being made to trans people at large, will have resounding and dangerous impacts in the months and weeks to come.

Don't get me wrong, I feel like if you've worked in a creative field for a corporation at any point in the last two decades you're already well aware of just how out of touch the executives, the producers, or the "decision makers" are.

Always at least two, or four decades behind, at least.

This announcement coming on the heels of Tolarian Community College and a wide slice of the MTG community raising over 600k for Trans Lifeline, and the reveal of Rowling herself being a personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein certainly says a lot about Hasbro's ability to read the fuckin' room.

Cmon now guys. If any Dem says anything besides shut down until this is all gone then there's no need for federal government at all. These are concentration camps. If you're too scared to say so then you're part of the problem.

They're saying that trans women writers don't belong in literature and genre fiction, that we have an "unfair advantage" because we're "too hot and interesting"
