I continue to be glad that I have my senators on speed-dial.
Actually reached a human being today instead of a voicemail. Was told they're getting a lot of calls supporting trans rights. Glad to hear it.

1. Trump has dug in on anti-trans provisions in the shutdown fight this morning, cancelling a meeting with Dems unless they cave on trans people.
His post to Truth Social is a clear indication that Republicans are making targeting trans people a priority.

Just in case any of y'all thought they'd actually filibuster the appropriations bills coming with all the anti-trans provisions and shut the government down.
Call your senators, demand no anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ provisions in appropriations bills.

Schumer on government funding: "Our position remains this: We want to keep the government open by engaging in bipartisan negotiation where we can address some of the grave harms Donald Trump has caused to our health care system and help Americans with the cost of living."

Long ago, at a company that no longer exists, I heard someone say our games needed to get better at "driving the compulsion loop."
And, I mean, no disrespect toward that person - our studio was struggling to survive at that point.
But I did think to myself: "Wow. Is that what we want?" 😐

Real talk: I got my start in the game industry working on little handheld movie tie-ins!
They can absolutely be good games if 1) the dev team has the skill/resources/motivation make them good and 2) the client/managers grant that team the time/budget/leeway to make the game good.

Calling my credit card company to ask why they're destabilizing the industry I work in (and thus threatening the cash flow that funds every transaction I make with them) was not on my bucket list, but here we are.
We had a long, polite, cordial chat. I plan to have more.

A queer dev who worked on one of my favorite indie games (while homeless, I later learned in an interview??) is trying to flee to safety. Happily donating some of my Pride month mutual aid budget.

Hello! 📣 We're working on an adventure game called Phonopolis where every single texture is hand-painted on a piece of cardboard, and even particle effects like flames and smoke are hand-painted frame by frame. Please wishlist on Steam if you like:)

Not me somehow misremembering that the deadline was April 17th, realizing my mistake this morning, and then racing to do this in 2 hours before work instead of working on it methodically over the weekend like I'd planned 😅
This proposed rule also excludes preventive HIV treatment and counseling and strips *all* healthcare coverage from DACA recipients (“dreamers”).

Somewhat heartened that the local protest I attended the other day (figuring it would be tiny and need more people) turned out to be a sprawling sea of humanity.

The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far.
Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million)

It was challenging to find a calm way of saying, "Hey, don't set the building you live in on fire because you don't like the people in apartment 12J. (Also, hi - my friends and family live in 12J, what the hell?)"

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.
My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.
