I want my first Bluesky post to be showing off my Linda Belcher costume from Halloween, even though I am two weeks too late!
Sorry, not sorry.

what i keep reminding myself is, they will never have the world they want. even if they kill us all, even if they rule for a century, they will always be craven, grasping monsters. the human race will never be "purified", their god isn't coming back.

Does anyone have any idea how we break the echo chambers? No Trump voter in my family will ever know what actually happened to Alex Pretti or Renee Good. They will believe the officers were justified. They will watch Fox News and that will be the end of it.

ICE murdered a nurse today
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

I'm really excited for Fable!! 🤩
Happy to see it has Character Creation and the Blacksmith Minigame from Fable 2 seems to be in it.
It's open world and the combat so far looks fun, you don't have to play the past ones because this is a reboot. 😊
Can't wait! 🐔🤍

Say hello to our little ball of cuteness! A rare southern three-banded armadillo pup was recently born to proud parents Vespa & Scooter. At just two months old, this tiny newcomer marks only the second healthy armadillo pup born at the Zoo in our 121-year history, making this arrival extra special!

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.
The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later:

Truth.
We joke that Polyarc is full of people who were overachievers in group projects making it a great studio to be at.

Generally speaking if you hated group projects in school perhaps game dev is not for you.
