Hello there, new folks! I'm Caelyn, I'm a queer, disabled writer from the UK who covers wargames and miniatures at @rascalnews.bsky.social. I like videogames, RPGs, Transformers and other assorted nerd stuff.
Bit last minute, but I'm going to be at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social on Sunday. Who am I going to see there?

I made a joke in my main Discord server about DOOM E1M1 being in a major key and @abigbagofkeys.sickonedude.com actually made it. Jesus fucking Christ listen to this hahahaha

Everything seems to be going wrong at the moment. Nothing major, but it's so annoying. And my autistic brain does not like the last minute changes to things.

PORN IS ART, PORN IS GOOD, PEOPLE MAKING PORN IS A SIGN OF A HEALTHY SOCIETY
There has been a noticeable reticence in left and liberal circles to voice full-throated support for pornography, even as it's become increasingly clear what the open end goals of the censorship movement are
In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?

I don't think I've done this before, not publicly. The before photo was taken 13 years ago, roughly six months before I came out. I only have a photo from then because my brother and sister decided they wanted to straighten my hair too see just how long it was.

If you ever wonder why your artist friend is so pissed off whenever they see AI slop used instead of real, human-created art, it's exactly what you think:
How is AI *really* impacting jobs?
Henley Chiu, the CTO of Revealera, a jobs data analysis firm, analyzed 180 million jobs listings in 2024 and 2025, in an effort to find out. Chiu found an:
-8% drop in all jobs postings
-~30% drop in art, photography, writing jobs
-22% drop in journalism jobs

What’s really going on with AI and jobs?
Record-breaking layoff reports, Amazon's mass firings, and a slump in entry level employment. Is AI behind it all?

Nate is legitimately one of the best living writers in the UK. No-one can match his absolute mastery of the grotesque. You should hire him to write for you
Folks it pains me to ask so bluntly, but could anyone use some work doing by me? I've got to find income for three months until my next royalty payment, and I'm not having much luck.

Y'all, Ash is on it. Please consider looking at my former colleagues at The Verge. Little by little, they're ably filling the gap left by the loss of Polygon with maturity and humanity.
Talking to people way smarter than me about the things I enjoy is, no bullshit, the best part of my job. So thanks to the folks who talked to me about why Magic’s starting to look like a Fortnite lobby and what this means for the long term health of the game
Magic: The Gathering’s future looks like Fortnite, and fans are split
