It’s a real blow to see the news of Rob Wieland’s passing. A true original who has supported small indie designers for years, including me and my games. Love and peace to his family and everyone else grieving today.

It's time again as a notable Italian-American to note Christopher Columbus was an absolute piece of shit human who didn't land anywhere near this actual country so why the fuck should he stop the mail for the whole day

Anyway, Happy Indigenous People's Day, y'all

The homes of a quarter of the animals that live in our oceans. Gone forever.

We should grieve & know that these tipping points are gonna fall like dominoes.

Now is not the time for ‘carrying on as normal’.

All our homes are at risk.

Planet’s first catastrophic climate tipping point reached, report says, with coral reefs facing ‘widespread dieback’

Unless global heating is reduced to 1.2C ‘as fast as possible’, warm water coral reefs will not remain ‘at any meaningful scale’, a report by 160 scientists from 23 countries warns

Out of curiosity, I dove into Canada's climate normals to see how many freezing nights major cities have lost over the past couple of decades.

The answer is...grim.

Freezing nights are disappearing across Canada as the climate warms - The Weather Network

The number of subfreezing nights across vast swaths of Canada has declined over the past couple of decades

As a deaf person with a deaf kid, I'm the first to admit IDEA isn't perfect. I fight people's (often willful) misinterpretations of the Least Restrictive Environment every day. Just gave a lecture at BU about how change is needed. Deleting all legal oversight in the middle of the night isn't it.

I don't get the determination to make Columbus relevant to US history. He never set foot on US soil. He "discovered" a place where millions of people lived and vikings and Irish fishermen knew about. He thought he visited India until his deathbed. His contemporaries considered him a violent weirdo.

I’d really love to support your cause, but using AI-Gen art for the poster makes me question your practices and whether you’re actually community oriented or just one well intentioned white person on the internet.

It’s giving safety pin and blue bracelet.

Did you know that Indigenous women go missing and are murdered ten times more than average? They don’t even get a quarter of the attention that a white woman going missing would get. Please keep these women in your mind. Don’t forget them

Growing up, the main bus in my town was every 10 minutes and always packed. I didn't worry about timetables I just left the house and knew it would be there. Now it's every half hour and completely deserted. This is no coincidence. Fund buses properly and people will use them.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.
