Hey! I made a separate bsky for this.

Please follow and support @passtimepurview.bsky.social.

My goal is to have the first episode up and available for listening by October at latest (due to offline obligations).

CactusRoseAmber @cactusroseamber.bsky.social · Jun 6

Are you a gamer*?

* Do you play TTRPGs? Video Games? Card Games? Board Games? LARP? All? None but something close?

I want to interview you! I'm starting a podcast to ask gamers about their favorite games, music, what draws them to gaming, etc.

If you're interested, the form is in replies.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have unveiled a promising new vaccine that generates a powerful immune response against HIV and other viruses including SARS-CoV-2 and influenza with just ONE dose. By combining immune-boosting adjuvants, the vaccine encourages the body to generate more antibody variations.

*sigh* Bluesky is Blueskying again. Here's that link again, this time visible to everyone. Trans people's experiences are not adult content, mods. www.vaginamuseum.co.uk/communitygal...

A post from the Vagina Museum, labelled as "adult content": The last day to view Trans Ephemera is 5th October. This community-created exhibition explores diversity, medicalisation and experiences of oppression through the medium of things that are normally thrown away. The exhibition is free to visit - plan yours now!

For those who may not know, today is Truth and Reconciliation Day in Canada, a day to learn about indigenous peoples and the violence they continue to experience because of colonialism.

I won't be streaming today. Instead, I'm going to post some resources below for folks to use to learn more.

Like everyone and their mother, I too will be streaming Final Fantasy Tactics tonight.

I'm hoping to name recruits after regulars and subscribers. Discord voted chill, so no perma-death, but it is still sure to be a good time.

I'm so excited! See you around 7 pm EDT

Would kill for a poll option here, but so be it.

I have too many games I want to play or to get back to, but I'm struggling to pick one. Especially since a couple more are coming out within the next few weeks, which adds to the difficulty.

What sounds more interesting to you? Options in replies

Listen, on the one hand, we're not going to Reading List our way out of this mess, but on the other hand, it is vital that we keep circulating the stories from the communities under attack and the easiest way to do that is read & talk about their books. So let's talk about some trans books!...

Update: still trying to get some things finalized. A couple of interviews had to be cancelled or rescheduled.

Current thought is edit what I have, write my episode 0, and THEN interview the others so it's more cohesive.

I appreciate your patience! I want to share them soon.

Only a couple more hours until the first flight of trying to get back home.

Two weeks without gaming was *rough*, especially when I couldn't use it as an escape this trip.

Here's hoping I can play games tomorrow 🙏

After hospitals were acquired by private equity firms, patient death rates in the emergency departments rose by 13% compared with similar hospitals, according to research published in Annals of Internal Medicine.

Death rates rose in hospital ERs after private equity firms took over, study finds

The increased deaths in emergency departments at private equity-owned hospitals are most likely the result of reduced staffing levels, researchers say.

I've been sharing other folks' ads for the Trans Rights Raid Train but here's mine!

I'll be streaming Friday 26th at 8am with some Art and FF14. There are incentives for donating as well. More info here: tilt.fyi/dVGcAfAH6u

Alt text has the info if the images are difficult/impossible to read!

A digitally drawn/created poster with the title "Lore's Donation Incentives for TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS Raid Train for Trans Lifeline" on a light purple background header over top of a purple and blue gradient background. Under the heading is an oval subtitle bubble with the words "Individual Rewards," under which is the following: $1+ Add to the pile or timed drawing, $5+ Draw from memory, FFXIV role swap, $10+ Draw me (you, the donator) a creature, $15+ Make a melee DPS in FFXIV. Beside this is "$50+ Switch to Art/FFXIV" with a message in yellow below "Big dono Reward" and an arrow pointing at the reward info. The bottom left corner has the trans flag heart under an intersex-inclusive progress pride flag themed umbrella, beside which is another oval subtitle bubble "Mini Goals." Under this subtitle is the following: $25 - Select a fun hat for Lore to wear!; $50 - Add a hat !AND! make Lore try a hot sauce!; $75 - Hat, hot sauce, !AND! make Lore read a) one of their poems or b) something serious/academic in a funny voice; $100 - Secret! (hand-written with a >:3 face); $250 - Future interactive stream!
