This is brilliant

Shame Games can suddenly not pay our staff. Not only is this devastating to Aika and their family's ability to pay their mortgage and bills (Aika has two small children if you didn't know, so thanks Patreon), but other people who relied on us are in similar positions with rent and so on. There can also be no new art drawn for the game until this is resolved. And by resolved, we mean that the vast majority of the nearly 1000 subscribers we just lost on Patreon rejoin us over on SubscribeStar. This is brutal. It's horrifying. It's causing panic attacks. But we will endure, and we will recover. But we desperately, desperately need to do so as soon as humanly possible, and so to that end, are experimenting with a new subscription incentive: Limited Edition Content.

Adult game dev Shame Games just abruptly lost its Patreon. No clear explanation why, and its staff cannot be paid. SG’s Aika literally has children to feed and is reliant on Patreon’s income to pay the bills

Because the huge Anthropic class action settlement limits eligibility to works registered w/ US Copyright Office, non-US writers are mostly locked out. But there's a similar proposed class action covering Canadian authors (click Documents link, then Amended Notice) www.cfmlawyers.ca/class-action...

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Shoutout to @dumbmike.bsky.social for peeping this out, here's the video in question, the neraiuchi performance starts at 1:15

Original seascape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "Knowing Glances" 7"x5" oil on Ampersand Gessobord (2025). This painting has white textured clouds in a moody gray-blue sky over a dark blue sea that is meeting a rocky shore. There are delightful bits of green moss and red algae or seaweed on the rocks.

If you're looking for gift ideas, how about a painting?

10% of the proceeds from all sales of my art for the next month (10/30 - 11/30) will be donated to Project Bread’s Resilience Fund.

Waltz called out at the UN. The rhetoric this administration uses in the US won’t fly anywhere else still and that’s of some comfort. The entire world is being tested right now.

I've reposted many posts made by folks who were recently laid off from Heart Machine, but here is a thread that highlights them all.

I am also including folks who were previously laid off & are still looking for work. I will be linking their Bsky posts, as well as LinkedIn.

Please, share this. 🖤

"A.i." is controlled by right wing billionaires who are channeling bullshit into your brains. Do not use it.

Imagine if that money for police salaries was put toward feeding people instead of starving them.

FUCK yeah

Goodnight beautiful 😘revolution is tomorrow

I’m so sorry I haven’t replied to this it’s so sweet I didn’t know what to say. I hope it’s going well!!!

I think @mozilla.org should stop featuring straight propaganda on its Firefox homepage. These CNN headlines giving Trump the “you go girl!” treatment for not giving a sole singular fuck about the state of the country he’s allegedly running shouldn’t be promoted.

Wole Soyinka, Nigerian Nobel laureate and Trump critic, says US visa revoked Soyinka, 91, who recently compared US president to Idi Amin, says ‘I have no visa – I am banned’

The man who claims to desperately want the Nobel Peace Prize is now revoking the visa of a Nobel winner.

Wole Soyinka, the Nigerian Nobel prize-winning writer had his US visa revoked.

He’s been critical of Trump since his first presidency.

quote from charles baxter's essay, "against epiphanies": "i don't believe that a character's experiences in a story have to be validated by a conclusive insight or a brilliant visionary stop-time moment. stories can arrive somewhere interesting without claiming any wisdom or clarification, without, really, claiming much of anything beyond their wish to follow a train of interesting events to a conclusion."

I know a lot of people (cough Millennials) feel like they need to START a thing, START a food bank, build a little free food pantry.

My friends, my loves, my dears.

Don't start.

These exist. They have community ties! They have some funding! Accountability! Regulations!

Switched to TIDAL and it was cheap and easy and fascist-free!

Plus they let me put a picture of my dog on my playlist. Five stars.

Feels illegal to be comfy and cozy and instead of staying that way you have to get up and get dressed and go outside

What in the actual fuck? Googles AI basically hallucinated that I somehow accused my podcast host & close friend of toxic behavior & harassment - killing her channel. Keep in my, Vera and I host a podcast together regularly and are good friends and her channel is amazing. This is absolutely fucked.
