I'm very long-winded, but for good reason. I talk about disabled advocacy, plurality, public health, trans and queer advocacy, accessibility, witchcraft, fun facts and tidbits, media I love, and more things I'm definitely failing to think of.

So good news! We've made it to the first 6% of our goal so far, which has set up a corresponding bonus stream. Next milestone is at 25%, or $1000. Big jump, but every little bit helps. Please keep sharing and giving as you can. Thank you.
I've got an opportunity lined up that should keep me solvent once it starts, but it won't be until about mid-late January, and I'm essentially at the last of my savings now. The $4000 I'm asking for here (ko-fi.com/sjhdoesgames) should be enough to keep me covered until that time. (2/3)

Covid is a social justice issue.

Mitigations like masks, anti virals, air purifiers and tests cost money.

We should have free respirators in public places. Mandatory masking in hospitals. Clean air benchmarks. Paid time off.

Those steps would drastically reduce spread.

I don’t know how to say this without sounding harsh, but I need you to hear it. COVID — or SARS-2 — is not “just another cold.” It doesn’t leave you the same. Every reinfection stacks damage: brain, heart, immune system.

And assholes like this is why high risk folks like me cannot go to conventions anymore

No one cares if they are essentially killing us through their negligence, and there are no consequences if they do
tl;dr: Donald Eastlake knew he'd tested positive, went to Worldcon and the MPC meeting anyway, took off his mask, and explicitly refused to put it back on. If you were at that meeting or at Worldcon in general: you can boost your chances by immediately starting a H1+H2 antihistamine --

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect.

As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

Progress! Five others dice boxes are almost to this stage but need more sanding before pictures. Anyway, they feel close to the end. Which is always more work than you think. But the no fun work of gluing magnets and posts is done.

Bluesky moderation suspending trans people for wishing ill on the members of a hate group who are actively working to eradicate us shows us what a morally bankrupt crock of shit civility is and how it only serves to punish victims and protect victimizers. Bluesky should be ashamed of themselves.

Since I roasted that (probably-not-a-real-person) account the other day about Gen AI stuff, I might as well add this. Not something new, but I'm saying it in case someone needs to hear it: using Gen AI is *not* going to help you if you are neurodivergent or disabled. It won't. (1/5)

I think people underestimate their ability to help support a game just by telling a friend about it.

If I hear a designer talk about their game, I'm not usually convinced.

If my friend Will tells me to check out a game, I'm looking.

Your words, oftentimes, are just as powerful as your wallet.

Generative AI is *literally* eroding everything vital about the experience of being a living being on this planet. Saying that "it didn't have to be like this" is very true, but it *is* like this, so let's focus on trying to do what we can to make it so that it's not like this anymore. (5/5)

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Sharing a screenshot of a social media post? Some ways you could write the alt text:

"Screenshot of Bluesky post from Luke Skywalker, on June 6, saying: 'The force be with you, always.'"

"Threads post from Fox Mulder, on June 6th. The post says: 'The truth is out there.'"

The claims of what AI will be capable of grow ever more outlandish and remind me of the kind of marketing hype NFT shills were spouting right before their bubble burst, like "What if you could own Mario?" only now it's "the AI will build you a Breath of the Wild."

It can't and it won't, Tim Swindle

We are going to make things better, we are going to keep showing up, we haven’t forgotten any of you who are worried tonight.

Better days will come.
