Disabilities for a lot of us are those things that could never happen to us. Until it does.
April of 2017 I had a TBI. It's July of 2025, and I still am fighting to get competent treatment. Disability can happen to any of us at any time. If you love games, support this.
You may need it.

Let's talk for a moment about violence against Latinos, and how it's socially acceptable.
First off, context. This is paramilitary guy is on of the immigration agents that raided and terrorized Elian Gonzalez.
It may be a surprise, but Latinos are human. Brown bodies are not the punchline.

@ricklane.bsky.social you do realize that giving Connor ink over his diva-itis is only going to embolden him, right?
There's a reason he can't find a publisher, dude is making himself untouchable.

I can't tell if this guy is an idiot, or just trolling.

The reckless decision to release billions of gallons of water from the Terminus and Schafer Dams is already hurting farms and farmers.
It’s a massive waste.
I'm demanding answers from the Army Corps of Engineers about what happened. And why.

I cannot stress enough the low cost and high impact of transparency of communications, and creating a single source of truth.
