My sister the mayor got the good politics-talking genes in the family, so this Indigenous Peoples’ Day I donated to @nativerights.bsky.social Please check out the work they do at narf.org!

Wow, what a place of honor! Highly esteemed deeds must be commemorated here! And there are probably valuables...

STOP adapting 80-year-old books into movies and TV series. Stop it. There are a million new novels published every year and 99% of their authors are broke. Stop giving dead people’s descendants money. Books were NOT better a century ago, they were WORSE. They were ALL
WORSE. Create in THIS century.

@thepixelproject.bsky.social works to reduce violence against women, and they're putting together "Quotes for Pixels" wherein past interviewees talk about why violence against women *specifically* needs so badly to be addressed. Here's mine:

I am so weary of that class of extremely online leftists who think being a Serious Person™️ who only posts and does nothing else is superior to being a Fun Person™️ who physically shows up

I deleted a post of me in a frog suit with my 7-yr old daughter because a big account reposted, admonishing us for not being serious enough protestors (or something). I shouldn’t have included my daughter in the image, which was why I deleted it. But I was stunned by the condescension.

Oh, that's lovely to hear, thank you!

My kids are old enough now to help, so Thanksgiving is each of us doing a dish or two. No one stresses out trying to do everything. We eat and watch a classic movie.

This year was Casablanca. Loved telling them about all the actual refugees singing in La Marseillaise scene.

Pie also excellent.

To every young or aspiring dev out there, look, some free advice. (Older devs, you know better. 💀)

For any game you are going to work on that has any GLIMMER of possible localization. Or editing. Or anything involving writing really...

DO NOT HARD-CODE THE VO/NON-VO/UI TEXT STRINGS.

All I know about this show is that the lead character looks like the smuggest person in the world in all of the season pictures that pop up while I'm trying to watch other shows. Is that actually her character, or is, "Isn't this great? Don't you wish you were me?" a hook to get people to watch?

Reading an article on Nioh 3 and stumbled over this:

Uh, maybe YOU played as a samurai. I picked up my kusarikama and found a kunai build that made enemies melt into a pile of loot and amrita.
Screencap of a line from an article reading, "While we've fought as a samurai until now in the Nioh series,"

(To be 150% clear, the impending voice actor strike caused a ton of crunch and pain and ugly decisions in order to finish writing before it hit, and none of that was the fault of the voice actors, who have my full support.)
