I'm still a real cool guy.

If you're a zionist, go ahead and block me. It'll save me the trouble.

I'm doing costume (pixel art sheets that overwrite the main character) commissions for the Make A Good Mega Man Level Trilogy! Once completed, you just need to unzip the files into your game folder and equip the costume in-game!

Payment on delivery, contact me if you're interested!

they’ve been assuring everyone this is the case for at least 15 years. It’s always been “next year you’ll see, there’s going to be a flood of regretful detransitioners,” and it just never happens. Instead study after study shows people are have an incredibly high satisfaction rate from transition.
If you're not familiar with just how unhinged the "Gender Critical" movement is, this thousand strong class action thing might just seem like a random ass-pull, but what it is is that they believe there's going to be some moment where all trans people will just suddenly stop being trans all at once.

Remember how The Times claimed there was a 1,000 family class action against the Tavistock clinic?

We got a FOI out of them, it never happened.

This is an important distinction about TERF brain I don't really think applies to other bigots: they don't just think you're wrong. They think you know you're wrong and are either ideologically captured or too afraid to admit otherwise

It makes them more dangerous imo

Chicken's surgery went great! She's recovering well and has a silly pajama on. I was able to pay for her to get microchipped as well, thanks to everyone's generosity.

But now I literally have no money left in my bank account until the end of the month. 💀

#2 & #3 - Mighty Gunvolt, Mighty Gunvolt Burst!

I am working on a big video about these two games, but if I can say one thing, is that you should play them if you enjoy 2D platformers, especially Burst.

I can't believe how much fun I had completing it.

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.
“Everybody Showed Up”: Stunning Crowds at Minnesota Day of Strike and Shutdown Against ICE
Extreme cold didn't stop the shutdown on Friday as some 100 faith leaders were arrested, residents stayed home from work, and an estimated 50,000 or more marched through downtown Minneapolis.

Tomorrow, the Democratic Party of Evanston members will vote to endorse candidates.

Unfortunately, the DPOE misrepresented us on the ballot, didn’t tell us, and still has not issued a formal correction.

So we’re doing it ourselves:

Remember when he tweeted "covfefe" and the press secretary couldn't admit he made a typo and accidentally hit send and pretended it was some kind of in-joke?

Really should've set off some alarm bells.

Something I might consider doing as the opposition party is going to Minneapolis as a show of solidarity, particularly since there's nothing for me to do in Congress because I don't have the votes

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

One of my fillings came out and depending on when a doordash grocery bill comes through, I might not be able to afford a trip to the dentist to fix it tomorrow.

Thinking about how bsky has the most horrible setting turned on by default that says "i don't want to see any other languages except English" and if no one tells you to put it on "no selection" you straight up won't see posts from people set to different languages on your TL.

Every so often I see a post from a seemingly progressive woman that amounts to "If you ever meet a woman who has low self esteem and talks about past trauma you should kill them before they ruin your life." and the post has like thousands of likes and reposts.

And I don't... get it.

The elites and institutions have folded but regular people haven’t
I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

Attacking trans rights was never really about "protecting women." That rhetoric was just a convenient way to make cisgender women complicit in their own oppression, and to make cisgender men feel like "good guys" while oppressing cisgender women and people who are trans.
The EEOC has just voted 2-1 to remove the entirety of its employer guidance on sexual harassment because portions of it protected trans people.

This administration is pro sexual harassment while simultaneously claiming they protect women.

yes, Dems are 100% ok with it. if they weren’t, they wouldn’t have voted for it dozens of times or tried to hit Republicans from the right for not being “serious about the border” during the 2024 election or be totally abdicate fighting against it now. but they did all that, they’re social fascists
