They/he, massive nerd. Lean more towards the fandom side of things but will probably still be some "current events".

I've heard it's been kicking in for Discord as well; a friend in the UK mentioned they now can't see 18+ channels on a server we're in unless they do this age verification stuff too.
hey guys, the UK online safety act is kicking in, so just a reminder that UK people can NOT use DMs without confirming their ID! please make sure to have other avenues for contact for commissions and such, thank you :)

I am very much enjoying this strange and weird and wonderful game called corru.observer, recommended by the @failbettergames.com newsletter (YOU SHOULD PLAY IT IF YOU LIKE GOOD WRITING + FUNKY ALIEN VIBES), but also screenshotting this one bit of dialogue because I feel like I can use it for work

EXCL: Polling company Ipsos have given me exclusive polling on who the public think will win Celebrity Traitors.
When the line-up was leaked, they polled the public.
Stephen Fry they saw most likely to win (16%), followed by Alan Carr, Jonathan Ross and Kate Garraway (6% each)

"nobody smokes" basic.
"you might look as uncool as kitty pryde." real. possible. terrifying.

And I'm not kidding...this does more for teaching kids not to smoke that Marvel's simplistic "none of our characters smoke" edict.

Now realising I've followed a very odd mix of accounts already and should probably focus this account at least at little bit. If people followed me for any normal or IRL reasons, it may get confusing.

Say what you will about the Master, he's still the only villain in sci-fi history to understand what the word "decimate" means.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people?
hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.
Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

when i say "forever" i'm only referring to data that you either don't need or actively want gone. data you actually care about will disappear in seconds and somehow be fully unrecoverable. this is due to an ancient and planet-wide curse that cannot be lifted.
