I know I haven't been the best at bringing awareness to what's going on over there, but I have been in-the-know and hoping for their safety.

Anyway, boosting this to help this individual out with their needs/etc.

Their and others' assistence and word-of-mouth is greatly appreciated, as always.

Aside from my revisiting the band, I haven't returned to listening to them after their 3rd album, or close to 20 years now.

Danilynn Jiibay ᐧᐋᐸᓄᑮᔑᒃ @jiibaydani.bsky.social · 7h

Thanks to my fiancé, I returned to listening to Linkin Park. The CHESTER BENNINGTON era, not the current stuff featuring the newest vocals with questionable views/etc.

I only listened to the first 3 albums with Chester. Looking forward to the remaining albums during his era and time on Earth.

I am seeing a lot of people reposting Lakota Man today bc it's Indigenous Peoples Day. A reminder that he is not well liked amongst many (most?) Natives on social media. Many of us blocked him a long time ago. Some of the reasons why are in this article.

www.dailydot.com/irl/lakotama...

Who is LakotaMan, the user behind one of the most popular Native American accounts on X?

John Martin is adored by white X users—but infamous among Native and Indigenous communities.

Patch Notes v2025_1012

• Nightreign requisite is resolved.
• Nintendo Switch 2 is replaced with Steam Deck (in progress).
• Despite significant downgrades in resided domestic region, trans euphoria remains stable and healthy.

Given the rate of these anti-trans crusades, I don't think I'll be alive enough to experience Elden Ring: Nightreign or the Nintendo Switch 2.

Prove me wrong, humanity.

Add'l Notes: I tried the other short hair styles and I didn't like how they ended up.

Hair style used works perfectly, given Kira's hair in the prime universe (not mirror) looked similar (via Season 7). Call it an easter egg or a nod to that, I guess.

Armor isn't dark bc of poise restrictions lol

Bored so I made Kira Nerys (Mirror Universe; Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) via character editor on Elden Ring just now.

#EldenRing #StarTrek #DeepSpaceNine #DS9

Character Name: The Intendant

Face and fashion resemble Intendant Kira Nerys from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Intendant Kira Nerys from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine; frame still from the Season 2 episode 'Crossover'.

(I used this as a reference point to create my cosplay build of said character.)

Michigan friends, Michigan citizens, please fight this. For yourselves, and so it doesn't become a model for the rest of the states.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

And this right here, as everyone with functioning brain power warned, is why online age verification DOES NOT work. There is no way to implement it without putting anyone who uses it at risk.

Again: just amp up Parental Controls and start holding parents responsible for their kids' online access.

George Carlin's "soft language" discussion immediately comes to mind.

Leen McBeans 🦇 @leenmcbeans.bsky.social · 8d

It will never not bother me to hear “unalived” or “graped”. We’ve more than proved that banning language only creates different words for the same topics that we absolutely need to be talking about. Stop making serious issues sound less serious by banning the real heavy words. They’re not the issue

Newsom is likely going to let the other bills go into effect quietly, and the education bill is only a couple lines of text where gender is not mentioned.

I'm going to be watching much more closely on what he does with the bills that are explicitly about LGBTQ+ topics.

A reminder to many that Classic Doom I & Doom II, and Quake 1 are indigenous games. This is non-negotiable.

Kenna Alexander @kennaalexander.bsky.social · 22d

Let me be clear:
Indigenous designer makes a game with an Indigenous theme? Indigenous Game.
Indigenous designer makes a game without an Indigenous theme? Indigenous Game.
Non-Indigenous designer makes a game with an Indigenous theme? Not an Indigenous Game. It's a game ABOUT Indigenous people.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Anyway, I'm gonna try to wrap up Enterprise S1 tonight and probably return to what's left of Discovery S4 later this week.

Thanks for reading my ramblings, y'all.

Danilynn Jiibay ᐧᐋᐸᓄᑮᔑᒃ @jiibaydani.bsky.social · 9d

The episode lengths for the new Star Treks are a small gripe as far as me goes. I am however slowly adapting to the production changes.

Bingeing through Enterprise is giving me some clarity that certain established shows do need more airtime, but regardless of that, I'm grateful ST is still here.
