It's probably high time for a pinned post, since all the much cooler kids are doing it...

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Israel is blocking shipments of syringes and solar powered refrigerators from Gaza. This is limiting vaccination efforts against polio, measles and pneumonia. As if starvation and bullets isn't enough, now they are stopping disease preventing. This is unacceptable! www.reuters.com/business/hea...

i don't click on new york post articles but i can't honestly say it's because of any principled stand. it's because it has so many ads that if you let it all load the page weight is around 2 gigs. you could load one article claiming that sidewalks are bad or you could run about 500 copies of doom

I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

The meme of "my body is a machine that turns 'the passage of time' into 'not writing'." This is a joke about writing and how so much of writing is not writing— or at least, that's what I tell myself when I am avoiding writing, which is a big part of my actual job. I mean writing, not *not* writing. Bosses: do not look at this, especially if you are expecting something from me soon. Obviously, everything is going great. I am not procrastinating by making this meme. I am not deliberately wasting time in every possible way I can think of after already having made breakfast int he most laborious way possible, catching up on email and slack messages, engaging in some discord discourse, and checking every social media feed I have the misfortune to remain entangled with, and I fully intend on starting to write for real the moment I hit the button to send this tweet. Yes, I still call them tweets. It's an act of resistance at this point, calling them tweets. I remember there was some discussion of what to call them, and I have to say I did laugh about "skeets," since the act is comparable in some ways: it feels good in the moment, but results in something useless and gross just moments later... is this too much to get into here? I don't know if the wrongheadedly censorious people who run this platform even check descriptive alt text, come to think of it. Anyway, I should get back to writing, for real, which I will do now. That reminds me, did you catch the discourse the other day about dialogue choices in games? I don't have much to say, really, other than that creative works can be literally whatever you want them to be, so arguing about them isn't as productive as simply making the work you want to see in the world (and which I'll get back to doing in just a moment). If you want to see my approach to dialogue choices, why not play my visual novel, Eliza? If you've made it this far and haven't yet, I suggest you check it out. Okay, back to writing for real now. Definitely.

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

With an ongoing outbreak lasting longer than 12 months and over 5,000 cases, Canada has officially lost its measles-free status. If the US doesn't end their outbreak by January, they will follow. This is a preventable disease. Vaccinate your kids!!!! www.bbc.com/news/article...

I’m on the jury for a different game awards event, and I really have to echo this.

We have like, 30-50 jurors for the event, and some of the devs/pubs gave the organizers 5 keys for us to… share?

No matter how cool a game looks, if we don’t have access to it then we cannot vote for it.

blog post boiling within me titled "indie publishers, you need to get your shit together" based on this year of indie pubs submitting games to IGF w/ a demo and then when asked for a dev build so anyone can actually judge it, either ghost or go "we will provide you with a build on the release date"

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

A prisoner in the Arizona State Prison system decided to reconnect with his Welsh heritage by studying the Welsh language. Now he leads a group of inmates who are independently studying endangered, ancient, and vulnerable languages—Welsh, Brittonic, Assyrian, Old Norse, Taíno, Nahuatl, and Guosa.
'I've never been so excited': Inmate-led program preserves endangered languages behind Az bars
Thomas Steres, an inmate in Arizona, founded the Linguistic Legacies Initiative to teach endangered languages such as Welsh, Nahuatl and Guosa while incarcerated in a state prison in Buckeye, Ariz.

A new study suggests that are wrong about where the Black Death plague of the mid 1300s originated because we misunderstood a poem. This study suggests it began in Central Asia as opposed to East Asia and traveled along the Silk Road. phys.org/news/2025-11...
How a misread Arabic tale misled generations of historians about the Black Death's rapid spread
Myths about how the Black Death traveled quickly across Asia, ravaging Silk Route communities, date back to a single fourteenth-century source, experts have found.
