The Four Agreements
BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love. DON'T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering. DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life. ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are tired as opposed to well-rested. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.

the cost of childcare is prohibitive. I paid more in daycare than I did for rent and car payment combined.

Am I really supposed to accept that more Americans have to die just because Republicans can’t handle their kinks?

that nick t (whatever I blocked him so idk that name) but he is a perfect example of a man who thinks he’s owed something for showing up. whine about engagement only following 46 people while insulting the user base that’s a great business model for positive engagement

Man, expectations are so low and I understand. People have been so beaten down politically that they think that nothing will be changed. But WE are the ones who have to push them to enact the policies they commit to. Nothing will 'just happen.'

i’m not going to say anyone who tells stories about dealing with mental illness is not looking for sympathy because i’m no fool. I am going to say the people I know who share, incl myself, do so to be a comfort for others who are struggling. I feel a lot of shame admitting to the things i’ve done

I hope things in our industry change for the better in the future. I will not allow anyone to feel this way again.
Sexism isn’t new in this industry, nor is it new to me, but during the last #DICE confernece, I experienced more sexism than I have in the 6 years I have been in games. Which says a lot because I was gamergated a few years ago. At DICE, I had men gawking at me, eyeing my body, licking their lips and snapping their neck to look at my behind. I was dismissed by several people, people assuming I am a student or someone’s assistant. I was not taken seriously or respected until someone vouched for me in conversation. This isn’t a new experience for most women in games, but I was painfully aware of it. Other women at the conference also were aware of men staring and eyeing me up, I confided in several people about how uncomfortable and uneasy it was making me. I have also had people try to make romantic and sexual advances towards me. I understand that is just part of the game industry culture for women but I am not interested in participating. I also don’t think that should be common practice. We are at a work event, please act accordinly and respect the women in this industry. This is my fourth DICE, and it will not be my last. I will not allow people in this industry to intimidate me from engaging with my peers and celebrating the people in this industry. I tell students and scholars all of the time to be careful and not allow anyone to harm you into silence. I figured it was time for me to take my own advice. I hope people see this and understand that this is an onging issue and something needs to change. I blame none of the organizers or anyone who works for DICE for any of this. They are all wonderful people and I see the work they do to make sure DICE is safe for everyone. The culture in our industry must change! I refuse to allow any one else to feel the way I felt at DICE.

The Heritage Foundation is now calling for the overturn of Plyler vs. Doe, the Supreme Court ruling that banned states from denying an education to the children of undocumented immigrants.

pretty awesome to go to the coin shop instead of coin star and get face value or random higher value when they catch coins with higher value. not only skipping paying for the exchange but maximizing value overall

An unidentified member of the Black Panthers peeks around a bullet pocked door which police blasted with gunfire during a predawn raid, circa 1969.
#BlackHistoryMonth

📷 ᴀʀᴛ ꜱʜᴀʏ
Image captures a pivotal moment in American history involving the Black Panther Party in Chicago, circa 1969. The photo shows a member peeking out from a door heavily damaged by gunfire. The bullet holes are the result of a pre-dawn police raid on a party apartment. The poster on the wall advertises the Party's "Free Breakfast for Children" program, a community initiative that fed thousands of children nationally. This specific event is believed to be related to the raid on December 4, 1969, in which police killed party leaders Fred Hampton and Mark Clark.
