Hahaha, right?! Or what about mandatory disclosures for the discrepancy between the salaries of the CEO and their lowest paid worker? That would be so funny, right?! Let’s do it as a funny joke!!!

I haven't had my favourite food in ... years. Probably a decade. I probably didn't even realize it was my favourite food the last time I had it.
Maybe it's only become my fave since I haven't had it.
Oh no. The favourite might be elusive.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a heteromultivalent nanogel capable of killing some of the most dangerous bacteria known to medicine- with over 99.9% effectiveness against P. aeruginosa. It also showed strong antibacterial effects against other major threats, including E. coli and MRSA.

Pain free day today. The first one in...maybe 2.5 months, at least 6 weeks.
So I finalized a client logo and deep cleaned the kitchen and bathroom. Completely shattered. Worth it. Rest day tomorrow.

Got a bit carried away with a doodle in my daybook/bullet journal thing. It is adding an uncomfortable level of pressure to everything else on the page. But it turning out as nicely as it did prompts me to poke at this theme for a set of paintings. Sepia pigment pen + watercolor +white gouache.

Sometimes I think about the fact that the best artistic work is produced when the artist has everything they need to live comfortably.
Then I think about the fact no trans woman I know has that, and we're still out here producing the best and most creative stuff going.
Trans women are so powerful.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Game design is simple, actually. Except when it isn't. Here are the 12 things you need to know.
Game design is simple, actually
So, let’s just walk through the whole thing, end to end. Here’s a twelve-step program for understanding game design. One: Fun There are a lot of things people call “fun.” But most of them are not useful for getting better at making games, which is usually why people read articles like this. The fun of a bit of confetti exploding in front of you, and the fun of excruciating pain and risk to life and limb as you free climb a cliff are just not usefully paired together.

I wore my glasses instead of contacts for the first time today in along time and my cat was Very Concerned.
Short meows as he sat in my desk sniffing around them. Relaxed when spoke to him . And I could see his little brain adding "don't worry, ugh, face clothes" to his stack.

I took brain meds early today, but the pain meds are not cutting it. This is why I'm being slightly spicy on main. Stuck in bed and angry about it.
I should just log off.
