While I've never seen anything that shows me she is, Im absolutely open to be proved wrong if anything pops up.

A notecard with the prompt, "What is something that was important to you that was taken in a sweep? How did it impact you?" The handwritten statement below says, "My momma’s ashes were displayed on my table in my tent. I came back one day — and EVERYTHING was gone, including her ashes. They were clearly labled ‘In loving memory — my mom, my best friend…’ and her name. Her ashes were all that I had left of her. No one stored my stuff. I called tons of places and NO ONE knew anything. It is very difficult for me still, everyday. No warning, no remorse, nothing."

A notecard with the prompt, "What is something that was important to you that was taken in a sweep? How did it impact you?" The handwritten statement below says, “It’s hard to narrow my list down. One particularly devastating (for me) sweep took EVERYTHING I owned at the time I was gone from my spot for a couple nights. Save for my wallet, ID, and the clothes on my back, I had not brought anything with me. Unaware of the sweep, I returned to find my tent, my cot, all my clothing, several files with important document, literally everything; all of it, gone.”

A notecard with the prompt, "What is something that was important to you that was taken in a sweep? How did it impact you?" The handwritten statement below says, “Lost my clothes tents more than once all my personal items i.e. pictures family photos and kids birth certificates and it really sucked how they did it and bulldozed everything I owned litterally bulldozed it.”

A notecard with the prompt, "What is something that was important to you that was taken in a sweep? How did it impact you?" The handwritten statement below says, “Winter bedding & personal memorabilia pictures, things that can’t be replaced. One winter in the middle of the night they came and took bedding only now they mess with us every day now I try to keep it to a backpack and cart try to.”

People who experienced homeless encampment sweeps in Washington state and Tennessee wrote about the impact it had on their lives.

All I could think of was sports in fancy dresses. That's how far removed I am from Ballroom Balls 🤣

Doesn't EVERYONE want to go to "America's Most Haunted City" for their 10 Year Wedding Anniversary? I feel like @ashlinaa.bsky.social would go with me 😘 👻

Listen, I was emotionally abused for 20+ years. I've been lied to, used, manipulated and put down for more than half my life. So I'm going to sing the songs too loud, watch the cartoons, eat the donuts for lunch, and order the fun drinks. Go be shitty about it over there.

Here it is: a journey marked by colonial violence near its end. Let us hope the party can do enough to silence the echoes of war.

Join us TONIGHT! at 4pm PT for the FINALE of Fragments of Loss: Fueled by Rancor

All this flavor on the intersectionality menu and you STILL choose SWERF and TERF? Bon appetit, bigot. Don't choke. 🫖

i IMMEDIATELY wanted to cosplay Rumi after watching this.

Me, for the last week:

GONNA BE GONNA BE GOLDEN

Black hair has always been underrepresented in games, but we want to change that 🙌

So this week we added 20 new black and textured hairstyles into Loftia!

We hand-sculpted each one and built a custom shader to add depth and softness. Quite proud of how they turned out ☺️💛

Sometimes the most rebellious thing I can do is rest.

Hey y’all wanna play Mermaids?

Will vouch for simply modern, they keep things SO cold

There is More Than Enough to go around. Charities can't help Everyone. And, Scammers in Mutual Aid are few and far between.

Despite that, we've taken the time to authenticate people and set them up with Ko-Fis to help them fundraise. You can fine them here: tinyurl.com/DASPVetted

Instead of a H*rry P*tter wand that chooses you, can we do this but with big gay fans? 🪭 *clack*

The ADHD feeling of needing to pee for so long and still not getting up. Guess that's just the cowboy in me.

This should go without saying, buuuuut -

Creatives, freelancers, managed talent all DESERVE to get paid in a timely manner. Just because they work in "non-traditional " means doesn't mean they deserve their pay any less.

The party has managed to hold back one antagonist and in doing so unleashed another. What struggles await them with this new threat?

Join us tonight for Session 11 of Fragments of Loss: A Ruined Beauty at 4pm PT!
