So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

Japanese gacha game temporarily turns characters into shadow people as Apple finds designs “potentially offensive to some users” - AUTOMATON WEST
Twinkle Star Knights's iOS version feels like a prolonged segment of “Who’s That Pokémon?” after the devs blacked out characters as an urgent measure.

FINE, fiiiiine, I did it. I'm making a newsletter so people can keep up on shop updates. I generally only do a shop drop once a season at most so this combined with my aversion to emails makes it so I physically cannot spam your inbox.

People think documentation is hard. "Documenting a lot" has legit been career advancing for me
One trick:
If you're writing down an answer to someone in an email or an IM, paste that this into a page
Just do it. Copy-paste. A little cleanup if you're feeling ambitious. Bam, documentation.

abuse is an inherent part of the social structure of american christian authoritarianism. people who operate within its framework are always acting to preserve their power to abuse. if they are not themselves fucking children they are preserving their privilege to do so and protecting people who do
