Important lessons from this primary: If you can vote early, please do it, whether early voting or earlier on Election Day. If you can, vote IN PERSON. Even with 2 candidates within 1% / 1000 votes of each other NOT ALL THE MAIL-IN BALLOTS WERE COUNTED. I don't know if they ever would have been.

A huge CONGRATULATIONS to Analilia Mejia for winning New Jersey 11th Congressional District's special Democratic primary to replace Mikie Sherill in Congress! Mejia is the grassroots, Bernie- and AOC-endorsed candidate and won in a narrow victory over the mainstream candidate, who conceded today.

I played for about an in-game week (I think) Both elders are happily pursuing their goals. Danica made the farm itself her business, additionally selling her own and her mother's creations - and hired her father as an employee! Aiden has begun his quest to restore Lady Ravendancer's lost tarot deck.

I created a new family in The Sims 4: Joyce and Raphael Barnhart have happily lived their entire married life on the same cottage farm. She cares for the animals while he gardens. They tried to raise their 2 children in the same traditions, but Danica wants her own business and Aiden is... Macabre.

When I looked there was a post from 27 days ago with one globe and a promise of "more experiments like this". I reported that post. I didn't see any additional globes so either they weren't posted or they've been taken down.

It's #blackhistorymonth . Are you supporting BLACK #indieanimation and black independent media as a whole ? There's so many black indie creators making our work because studio systems tell us there's no audience. Check out this thread for a plethora of BLACK INDIE projects .

I had to delete the "My Documents" folder off OneDrive (via the website) to get Steam games to stop looking there for saves and trying to save there. My Actual Documents are stored locally and I use Google Drive for backups. But... I just wanted to change a setting in the games: "Save here instead."

You don't necessarily need to say "image of" in your alt text for users to know it's an image. Screen readers will announce that it's an image. But it can help readers to specify if it's a hand-drawn image, Polaroid, infographic, screenshot, chart, map, diagram, or so on.

What's better than #Dredge? Dredge with Crowd Control! At least, I hope so... Let's give this a try! #Twitch #CrowdControl www.twitch.tv/melodicbutto...

Alt text is primarily for people who have difficulty seeing - and especially reading text on - images. If you're going to post an image that's basically entirely text, you need to include that text in the alt text. Especially important information like the date the event you're promoting takes place

the product was there, I was able to generate an activation code, which the software accepted no problem! It runs it's beautiful I can open my old files and preview on my 2nd monitor and hopefully (I haven't tried it yet) render everything without a watermark and I'm just super relieved and happy!

GOOD NEWS!!! I poked customer service for my video editing software again and they asked for a description of exactly what I was trying to do, with screenshots. I complied and their AI bot (ugh) told me to log into my account, yada yada. I tried the email address I'd originally used to register and

This! I find animations (that I'm not actively watching) incredibly distracting and annoying. I will leave a page if I can't get them to stop. One of the first things I did on this platform was turn off auto-play on multimedia (thanks Bsky for the option!).
Automatically updating content can be extremely distracting, especially for users with vestibular disorders or attention difficulties. This could force users to scroll through page content to not see the animation, or to just look away. Allow animations to be paused or stopped.

Black Trans Futures Month is when we envision a world where Black trans people have everything they need to flourish. This month, we’ll be featuring Black trans leaders who are not only envisioning a better future for Black trans community but are working, organizing, and fighting for it every day.

To be fair it was also late at night and I needed to end stream. I don't mean to detract from the rest of the game. It was a lot of fun and as I said the other 3 areas - 4 if you count the Marrows, etc. - were cool. I look forward to the DLC and the base game secrets I have yet to explore...

In the first 3 areas, getting the relic felt like the icing on the cake of a job well done. I was somewhere between satisfied that I'd done what I came for and almost sad to leave. Devil's Spine I was just relieved. "Good I can get out of here!" Maybe that's the intent? But I wanted to be DONE.

Like, Gale Cliffs ("the cove") has interesting NPCs to talk to. Stellar Basin is beautiful, especially at night. Twisted Strand has an interesting NPC and engaging challenge. Devil's Spine is a maze of things to crash into and annoying enemies to avoid. (I don't have the DLC - yet.)
February 4, 2026 at 6:42 PM
definitely 100% platonic. nothing to see here. lol.
February 4, 2026 at 6:14 PM
Devil's Spine was by far my least favorite area in #Dredge. I was so thrilled when I got the item from that area, I rushed back and finished the main story! There's still more to do though so don't worry, we'll be revisiting the game sometime soon. We raided @frostyrayzablade.bsky.social

I am live on #Twitch playing Dredge! Hopefully we will make it to the fourth area, I think it's called Devil's Spine? And start exploring it tonight. Who knows what we'll #Dredge up? www.twitch.tv/melodicbutto...
