Project Windless is a Dynasty Warriors-like action RPG where you play as a sword-wielding chicken. It's based on "The Bird That Drinks Tears" series of high-fantasy books. gameinformer.com/state-of-pla...

I used this app and other VR apps during covid and after when I had a back injury that barely allowed me to walk. Supernatural was incredibly accessible with a support community.
The median age/demo for Supernatural is 50 year old women, a group oft ignored in games. This really is a loss

Here’s a story I’ve been working on for a few weeks.
Over 50 Supernatural fans reached out to share how a VR fitness game changed their lives — and they had choice words about how Mark Zuckerberg and Meta killed the one thing that brought them together.

Finding out /pol/ was likely inspired by an Epstein meeting is further proof the online alt right is not the natural progression of conservatism but a psyop determined to capture, radicalize, and mobilize young men.

Saw “No Other Choice” and “The Testament of Ann Lee.” Gonna run a semi-truck into the Academy for snubbing both these movies in all categories.

This is one of the things that I find is most shocking to people outside Minnesota who don’t realize it yet—the scale at which everyone who isn’t white has been forced into a spectrum of hiding.
Very good article drawing out the Tahrir Square comparison.

Really feeling this lately. Especially as a Black queer woman.
The thing about being black and American is you’re fucked over by America, not respected outside of America, not wanted inside or outside of America
But they want you to be ok with being a sineater
No fuck off
I keep thinking of Ferguson while yall say black people are just as responsible

Truly the thought at THEE top of my mind every time I see people spout about how all Americans are responsible and must be held accountable for the sins of America (governmental body we as citizens clearly have no control over because we're here currently).

Burnout is genuinely life-destroying and I really can't say, on this website, what I think should happen to managers who not only let it happen to one individual worker but who systemically make it happen on large groups of workers.

yes, all this shit is very much like the fugitive slave act and other instances of homegrown evil but modern republicans literally don't remember any of that, what they do remember is how cool the bad guys in indiana jones looked

i do think it's worth noting and meditating on the fact that a lot of black organizers just straight up have a longer historical memory of this shit than our white oppressors.
To be honest, the recourse to denying the Nazi parallels in favor of domestic ones seems reflexive; like a corrective aimed at a banal status quo that reified American exceptionalism. But when you look at the people in power now, and what they're drawing inspiration from and... it's the Nazis.

My Oscar-qualifying sapphic short film, "AND THEN" is now available to watch! Set in Tokyo — a story of insomnia, longing, and two women who quietly fall into each other. AND THEN is a poetic exploration of connection when sleep won’t come and love arrives instead.
