This is so cool. Zohran Mamdani just released the 2026 NYC Dev Roadmap and he's updating Williamsburg with not one but TWO new 20-man raids with their own endgame armor sets and weapons

Hey y'all. Val is having a hard time finding a job and doordashing is only getting us so far. On top of that, the housing situation we moved into is not working out. We need help!!

Kitty Moments @valyagalaktika.bsky.social · 10d

I've had to extend our GoFundMe for two reasons: We are unexpectedly having to move AGAIN, and potential job opportunities are giving me the runaround, so I'm already short on bills. We just cannot catch a break. Please help us!

Yeah! And she was trying to come from a place of just "I'm suffering right now, and I don't want you to suffer." But I'm not suffering... I'm taking care of my body and I'm fine.

God I'd make her so mad. But I won't do it cause she has a thyroid problem and I KNOW she can't lose weight very easy because of it. But God fuck if that wasn't horrifically insulting to me and my own image.

My mom tried to talk to me about my weight (215 lbs.) saying that I'm not healthy when I'm literally trying to bulk and weight train??

Fuck you?? I'm not losing weight. I'm the happiest I've been.

So I got back into World of Warcraft. It's been a long time and I'm having a fun time! But something that always keeps me coming back to FFXIV is that the music will ALWAYS FUCKING SLAP.

WoW's music is so booooorrrrriiiiiing. 😭

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy passed away today according to the House of GG. She was a veteran of the Stonewall rebellion and a lifelong organizer for the safety and dignity of trans people, sex workers, and the incarcerated. She came from the same generation and milieu as Marsha and Sylvia. She was 78.

As much as I'd like the idea, it might be too simple. However, it could be time for hot cocoa? OR frosted glasses.

TBH tho like... sometimes I get worried about that thought 'cause damn, if that's a hard thing to maintain in every day life.

When I envision Kine, I always saw him as passively emitting radiation that makes the surrounding 15 feet diameter like... pretty warm, and he melts the snow that comes into contact with this bubble of heat. So things don't stay frozen around him for long unless he consciously stops radiating.

I do occasionally get asked, "How do you remember phone numbers??" but like... It's because I looked at them, and made a sequence in my head that corresponded to rhythm, like any decent person with ADHD. It's ez.

I used to have a little pocket book where I wrote down my favorite friend's numbers. But more than anything, I hate talking on the phone.

I do remember using Yellow Pages a lot.

We gotta keep calling. While we're at it though, please bring up that why is censorship the answer, when we continue to let AI continuously lie and be spread across social media platforms, and threaten our resources, and they choose to do nothing about it.

This is "debanking", and its a problem that has plagued sex workers for decades. It isnt right when its targetting sex workers and its not right when its targetting game devs and creators either.

Give paypros and your givt reps your grievances and demand that debanking of adult content stop

Per Reddit: Steam adult developer in the UK is sitting on a USD equivalent of six figures, can’t find a bank to take his money because the developer creates adult games

I develop adult video games on Steam. I can't find a bank that will actually let me withdraw my money from Steam. Can I get some advice?
Game has sold quite well on Steam. I've got almost £90,000 ready to withdraw after Steam's cut + VAT taken off.

However, it's been 2 months now and I can't find ANY bank in the UK who will let me withdraw my money from Steam.

I've been banned/refused/unable to get a business account with:

Wise
Revolut
Monzo
Monese
Chase
Starling
Nationwide
Halifax
Barclays
Lloyds
RBS

It always comes down to, "Where did you get this money from?"

"It's coming from games I sell on Steam."

"Can we see the store page?"

"Sure."

"I'm sorry, we can't do business with you at this time."

It keeps coming down to a commercial decision purely because I make adult content.

What the hell am I supposed to do? I've pretty much exhausted the whole banking system. I just want to be able to be paid for products I've sold.

Yes, I'm asking y'all. I'm genuinely curious. 'Cause winter is my favorite time of year for how cold it gets, and I get outrageously warm.

Fall has Sweater Weather. What should Winter be? And what should Kine be doing? I was thinking he would be in a hotspring surrounded by snow, but that's not a great indicator of winter consistently around the world... Should it just be a snow man or something?
