In fact, fuck it. Building on what Jess says. Do you cis fuckers have any fucking ideas how much grief we carry? How every trans person has multiple dead friends? How death is just a thing we live with? How everywhere we gather has to have an explicit policy on expressing suicidal ideation?
Today is Trans Day of Remembrance.
Today we remember and grieve all those we have lost. But we also commit – collectively – to fighting for those of us who are left. There will be hope as long as we continue to stand together.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but hating yourself isn't an integral part of the trans experience and we need to stop glamorizing it.

Wednesday, Nov 19, is the Trans Day of Remembrance, a day when we look back and remember those who we lost along the way this year. It is grimly important because death is a regular occurrence for trans people. Our existence is under threat like never before

Stumbling across a bunch of people defending that chatty sidekick guy in Metroid Prime 4 and wondering what these folk got out of the series before this
Running through Super Metroid or Prime like "hmmm yeah this is cool but it's no Uncharted Drake's Fortune, is it?"

ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it.
The national media's been silent. So has @mayor.lacity.gov.

Engagement on our updates re: ICE kidnappings/fed siege of Los Angeles is significantly lower on Bluesky compared to Twitter. Do ppl on here not care about LA anymore? Are feeds being taken over by liberal commentators? What's going on?
Community members on the ground can't do it all. We need help.

The feds are escalating in Los Angeles. We've seen record high kidnappings and our communities are under attack. The media focus on LA has died down so electeds don't feel the need to even feign opposition.
People are out here fighting. We need all of us. Join the struggle. Defend your neighbors.

Jesus to his disciples:
Yall wanna see a dead body? (RIP in piss Olbermann)
So if Olivia is 32 now, broke up with Lizza last year, was together with him for a decade, and then was living with you for 4+ years before that, how old was she when you moved her out of her (presumably parents’) house in the suburbs to live with you?
Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days, 4 Xmases, 4 anniversaries). That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration. And her apartment was a writing studio. And I made an f-ton then. What was I supposed to do? Get her a lot of Gift Certificates from Kmart?

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

Do not support Operation Christmas Child!
It's a terrible program that does far more harm than good.
If you want to do something that does good, find an organization and donate to it directionally.
