Games Done Queer is streaming all weekend.

www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

GDQ's upcoming event, Games Done Queer, has already become a fierce rallying cry of support for LGBT rights in the US: 'We had 450 hours of content submitted for the 36-hour show'

"We're here, we're bigger than you think we are, and we can band together when it's important."

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net.

In this guest post, Adam Chandler sorts fact from fiction:

SNAP benefits feed essential needs while still leaving many hungry for more

Journalist and author Adam Chandler explains what so much of the conversation about them gets wrong.

A message from my friend Tasneem in Gaza. They are in great need, as are all the displaced and hungry civilians. They rely on our donations to survive.

Please give to Tasneem so she can feed her children. And to others. ❤️

An image of Tasneem and her family with the words: "I'm Tasneem, a mother of three children. I used to live a simple life, full of love despite its simplicity - but everything changed on October 7. Our home was completely destroyed, we've been displaced more than 15 times, and now we live in daily hell. My only dream is to secure a safe life for my children outside of Gaza. Any support - even just €5 - could change their future and give them a sense of safety. Help us build a new hope for them. ❤️"

95% certain that this was done for both eventual IPO/investment and protection of the devs so they don't get attacked for shitty decisions and have to see it at the top of replies

On the occasion of Halloween, @newrepublic.com asked me to write about what’s going on in Chicago and I wanted you all to know what randomized terror feels like. And also that as the federal government fails our kids, everyday Chicagoans are showing the courage of trying to protect them.

ICE Is Terrorizing Chicago for Halloween—and Parents Are Fighting Back

Fear and a whiff of tear gas hang over festivities this year. In response, even people who aren’t usually politically engaged are mobilizing.

There was an article a few years ago where they interviewed a lesbian classmate of his who knew him throughout college and constantly described him as like, center-left and supporting LGBT, but the second he went into politics he changed how he acted in texts and calls with her

I need to know who the VA tried to channel or learn from to put that kind of perfectly indignant intonation into that

Vince @jalapenopants18.bsky.social · 1d

The fact that he went from "has multiple LGBT colleagues who he loves and supports" to "anti-trans racist" in around 5 years says a lot about him just being a chameleon for power and influence in whatever situation he's in
