If your parents don't accept you as a queer person, a thousand million trillion loving, accepting aunties and uncles exist online to show you love is on the other side of that door when you break away.
You're not alone.
Queer elders exist.
And understand.

grief can either steal you in pieces or all at once, so remember to forgive yourself in those moments when doing your best to heal and move on. 💕
If you’re over 30, quote this with some life advice 🤌🏼

I’m not throwing myself into the discussions on indie budgets, weird pedestals and underdog fantasies, but I do want to say a lot of the confusion could easily be dismantled if there was more transparency in the game development process.
From funding to dev cycle to production to ship.

Again, reminder that this is the Canadian line for Trans Lifeline.
Don't share that this is just a generic hotline. It's for trans folks and they don't have the people power to deal with an influx of cis folks right now.
If you're cis, call a warm line in the next skeet.
