Re-upping the more descriptive intro post for new people. Also, so everyone knows what I'm about. Solidarity to all oppressed people, workers, and anyone fighting to defend us. Nobody is free until everybody is free.

The the blue, pink, and white stripes of the Trans Pride flag.

The red chevron and green, white, and green stripes of the the flag of Palestine. I am using it here as a display of solidarity. I am an American white woman, not Palestinian.

According to Wikipedia, today is the 20th anniversary of The 1UP Show. I choose to believe this is true.

I miss this work. More, I miss my old coworkers. Still the best and most fun job I ever had.

I’ll let Jane and Eric’s killer tune race through my mind today.

SNAP benefits are going to be paused on November 1. If you are able, now is a good time to give to food banks, food pantries, or local mutual aid groups.

Invited to write for an academic press, but fuggit. It's worse racket, actually, than the work-for-hire publishers I had to deal with in the 1970s-1980s, actually; it's astonishing to me how codified it's become, another example of a creative community accepting the unacceptable/unsustainable.

It's hard to fathom for most people just how much effort and money is being poured into anti-trans shit, but it's billionaires, the entire apparatus of religious right think tanks like ADF, Heritage etc, entire media empires like Rupert Murdoch's, whole political parties and world governments...

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

attempting to ditch windows entirely by swapping my gaming rig to Linux, which is now a completely viable thing to do. Of course, I chose an Arch distro and I can’t get my software KVM working so I feel like the true Linux experience is still alive and well

Happy 15th Anniversary to Fallout New Vegas, my favorite video game of all time. When I played it back on 2011 i said “I’ll never stop talking about this game” and I was right. Thanks @obsidian.net and @jesawyer.bsky.social (here’s me in the Mojave desert, wishing for a nuclear winter🐻🐻)

Today marks 15 years since the release of Fallout: New Vegas.

Since 2010, players have explored the Mojave Wasteland where countless Couriers have walked the same road—each carving their own story. Thank you for keeping the spirit of the game alive all these years.

Viva New Vegas. 🎲

Twitch was apparently having lots of issues last night, but skimming through it, it doesn't seem to have effected my VOD in any way! So for those who kept getting disconnected, you can watch the VOD without any problems at least.
