www.wired.com/story/gamers... The definition of pornography according to fascists inevitably includes queer and trans people. Call the companies and be polite to the workers. They're not the ones in power. My plan is to get some calls in after dinner so I have that post-prandial chill going.

As industry groups decry censorship, players are flooding Visa and Mastercard with complaints and sharing the titles of delisted NSFW games to support developers.

Literally we were up to $2460 in potential matched donations and I promised $40 to make it a pleasingly round number. Support my finicky taste in figures / help fund travel grants for QGCon 2025 presenters and exhibitors here.
Today is the first day of our week long #fundraiser and the matching donors' pledge has increased! Please help us reach our goal by sharing this post!

QGCon is the conference where I felt safe discussing bi/queerphobia I experienced in game studies as a grad student. It's the only time I've discussed it publicly. QGCon's a special community: please consider sharing this request so we can keep helping folks share their ideas and experiences.
Thanks so much to all those who have already been kind enough to donate! If you are still interested, and are financially able, please consider helping fund this year's QGCon (link and details below)

My partner proposed a discussion of philosophers and whether their names are better suited to dogs or cats. Spivak: cat. Socrates: cat. Locke: dog. This eventually leads to the statement "This is my cat, Walter Cronkite" after a debate on Walter Benjamin because ADHD rules this house.

One piece of advice I wish I could give every trans gal is the same I give to writers
Stop calling yourself "aspiring" or "hopefully" or "eventually a ___"
Do you write stories? Congrats, you're a writer.
Are you a woman, is that the identity you hold true to your core? Congrats, you're girl.

7 years later and I still whisper, “We’re disabled, Daniel, not werewolves” to myself like a sacred mantra whenever I see a non-disabled person discover ableism like it’s the latest hipster indie band.

goodrobotbrewing.ca/drinks/themb... When we were in Halifax, my partner excitedly pointed out Good Robot's Thembot Sour. I adored the concept, but was reluctant about the flavouring. I was wrong! It's actually pretty gentle. Queerly tasty and sour enough to merit attention but not alarm.
Thembot Sour
A guava and blackberry sour brewed as a reminder of the importance of pronouns and acceptance.

A week visiting family in the Maritimes yielded, among other things, one lobster kissed and about three eaten (some in rolls), one geological finding apparently unusual at the Joggins Fossil Cliffs, one dinosaur made of two cars followed on the road, and photographic evidence of most of the above.
