I hope those kids treasure those memes and take the whimsy and memories of sillier times with them into adulthood like we did with Trogdor The Burninator, hope you keep referencing them in 20 years time kiddos
Sometimes people are like "aren't you worried about the kids and their nonsensical new brainrot memes"

But like, the thing is, I can still spot a member of my internet generation by how they respond to "badger badger badger badger"

Playing with language and rhythm is fun, it'll be fine!
One of the things we've enjoyed the most about the six-seven phenomenon is the way it comes with a gesture, which we've also seen represented in emoji form as:

Tip: Request 3 pictures from 3 different angles and all of them have to have a visible paper with specific text on it. If any of the damage changes even a LITTLE refuse the refund.
Heads up for all my art friends that have an online store.

Hi all!

I'm casting my paid mockumentary about YouTube drama culture ($500 CAD, about 3-4 minutes of dialogue, self-tape from home). Looking for a trans woman to play JENNA, an indie TTRPG creator whose Kickstarter blows up and then falls apart. Details + sides:

JENNA EVERLY - Full Role Information
JENNA EVERLY - Full Role Information Project: A ~45 minute mockumentary about YouTube drama culture. Everything is fictional, meaning fake creators played by actors, fake Kickstarter, and fake screens...

Slowly working though a backlog of comissions! If you want a patch, jacket, or hat for Fanfest next year, let me know! I’d love to make something just for you!

This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this.

What we have here will be *gone* if these bills pass.
Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children.

Committee hearings begin tomorrow.
Lawmakers to consider 19 bills for childproofing the internet
KOSA is back, along with more than a dozen other bills that will erode free speech and privacy in the name of protecting kids.

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

It's time for the "How to do ALT text" image again.

Writing a perfect ALT text is impossible, but please try 💚!

Visually impairment is a wide spectrum and doesn't keep people from loving the visual arts.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.

Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

Why am I paying grubhub for no delivery fees and then AI is charging me $4 for delivery?
Before anyone asks- I am blind, and occasionally need assistance. I’m fine paying a fee and tipping so others can also eat but why am I paying this fee twice?

Well, saying that "I don't let my disability to stop/restrict me" is pretty ableist, or it comes from POV of privilege. If only we could just beat and overcome our disability and all the struggles that come with it...

I have decided that once a week I will post a recommendation for an excellent little-known game soundtrack.

Week 1: Enthusia Professional Racing
Check out Illegal Meditation, Nürburgring Suite, Under a Blue Sky

A disabled friend going to FanFest is concerned about the lack of consideration for disabilities and may end up selling their ticket. If anyone can pass along to SE or someone in fanfest, would be appreciated. would be sad if someone couldn't enjoy the event because of obstacles.

In way better news than everything else that’s happened, my Baby Bai arrived! “Tomorrow” will really be “this weekend” since I found out the makerspace is closed Thursday and Friday but expect progress!

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.

After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!

Since I can't reply to you directly: in Dawntrail we do actually have a blind character that doesn't visually track you, even while conversing. Go speak to Taapu in Heritage Found just below and west of S9- she doesn't do visual tracking! Don't know if someone at SQUEX saw my talk about this but...
Would be nice to have a comic taking this into account more.
If you haven't seen this already, @divisionten.bsky.social held two great presentation about this on Lunar Con called Blind Prog. It's mostly about playing FFXIV while blind but she also touches the subject of portraying bling characters.

DON'T FORGET The Payment Processor calling campaign is still going. Even if you can only do it once a week, do try.
Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

@chrisbratt.bsky.social Hi there, I’m not sure this is within your scope, but a game convention fumbled the ball very poorly the last time it was run. It’s now- shockingly- going worse this time around. Would love more eyes on it to get them to see why it’s a problem.

#FFXIV FanFest is neither a safe nor accessible convention.
-People asking for disability accessibility need to have a phone call to prove their needs
-they then must agree to specific accessibility accommodations within 24 hours of a follow up email or schedule another full phone call.
