As there has been a spate of new followers! Hi! I'm queer, a firm believer that sex work is work, think being compassionate is not a weakness, and know that choosing to remain to kind in the face of *waves at world* is the strongest thing we can do.

I also make games.

Almost everything I've made is on sale right now!

If I had to pick one game, I think 3 Shining Motes is the best game I've made to date, and very reasonably priced, too! It's a bittersweet solo game that only takes an hour to play, so if that sounds like your jam, check it out!

Your Party running a sortition exercise for their founding conference then purging nearly 10% of those selected to attend isn't doing anything to dispell the notion that they're less a political party and more a performance art piece meant to mock the entire concept of left-wing organising

If you see me at Dragonmeet or the industry event on Friday evening, come say hi! I have a very bad memory for names and faces so please understand if it takes me a moment! My zines, Ex Libris, Talking Thunder and Seed of an Idea, are for sale at the @uktin.bsky.social stall at M-32/33 ✒️🌩️🪴

Jog's novelty cheque is in the mail.
While at #dragonmeet this Saturday, be sure visit the TIN inn, home of the wonderful community of the UK tabletop industry network (one of my favourite communities of indie creatives). Thanks for all of the support this year 🥰

@uktin.bsky.social are at M32/33, be sure to make time to visit them!

Good luck to everyone travelling to set up for Dragonmeet or preparing seminars for the pre-event events. One day I'll make it down and awkwardly say hi.

You know, Jane Austen clearly found most people really annoying, which is why her books all ended with her annoyedly telling us “look some of these people got married, some died, some were miserable, some were happy, but most importantly THE END.”

So yeah, I guess I'm not as over the burnout as I thought and we're in the lead up to Sensory Overstimulation Season. Wooooo.

Won't be surprised if one of my current devs doesn't hire me again because of the stupid mistakes I've been making.

You wouldn't know it now, but scientists used to view getting published by @nature.com as a sign of impeccable research of the highest quality. Nowadays they'll let any damn slop in.
Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?!
& more to the point, why we should take you seriously at all going forward?

For people unaware and playing/streaming Where Winds Meet, it uses GenAI for NPC chat bots, and let's you import a photo of yourself and a voice clip for character creation, which I'm sure I don't need to explain why that is fucked up

And no AI disclosure on Steam 🙃

So, real talk. The imposter syndrome never really goes away either, it's like an old chronic injury that flares up again and gets really bad at certain times of the year, or if you've strained yourself. It creeps back when you don't expect it, and it's hard not to hear that little voice get louder.
Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

It's my sincere belief that Wes Streeting should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity and held accountable for the harm he directly caused.
This research was published 14 months ago. In *Nature*.

Three months BEFORE Wes Streeting announced a "permanent ban" on puberty-blockers.

& yesterday, the Tories insisted you don't even need a clinical trial to keep that ban, forever...

Evidence has now emerged of the adverse consequences of the laws banning GAHT for trans youth in both the US and UK. This includes sharp declines in mental health and increased suicide attempts among transgender young people.

Everyone knows data centers use a ton of water.

What hardly anyone knows: they can poison the water that remains.

And in eastern Oregon, Amazon is doing exactly that.

For legal reasons, I cannot disclose more than the following:

An invoice amounting to $300 has not been paid to me, despite contacting the contractor multiple times. This is also the case for several other creators.

This is not the first time creators like me have been neglected. 🧵

So what're the odds the current government has ties to digital accounting software providers?

Or the third-party ID verifiers?

Side note: everyone wants us to verify our faces, but no-one wants to do it themselves. And we (queer/disabled/etc) are the lazy, untrustworthy ones?
