Here’s a starter pack of Twitch streamers who still take COVID precautions. If you like interacting on Twitch and you miss having spaces that aren’t steeped in COVID denialism, go follow some of them.

Please let me know of any more COVID-cautious Twitch streamers I should add.

#Pluribus

If you call the phone number that Carol is told to call by the television you'll get a nice easter egg.

202-808-3981

Also if you google the word 'pluribus' there's an easter egg.

I made a free rules hack for ORC BORG this month that lets you fly spaceships around and crash them into one another (and/ or the ground). It's pay what you want on rollinkunz.itch.io . Here's the layout and illustration process 💛

#BlueSkyArtShow This #bright and vibrant macaw was done in soft pastels. This colorful parrot is a favorite of my recent works. Prints & cards featuring my artwork may be found at links in my profile. #birds #PastelArt #art
Soft pastel art depicting a parrot with red feathers on its head fading to yellow and green below. The bird is in profile facing right on a blue and green mottled backdrop. The light colored eye is surrounded by very pale pink feathers.

Alice Wong helped me accept my disabilities.

She taught me there’s no social justice without disability justice.

She encouraged me to start The Disabled Ginger and was a friend & mentor.

She won’t be forgotten.

Don’t let the bastards grind you down:

Thank You Alice Wong
Alice Wong has passed away and the disability community has lost a leader. I lost a mentor and a friend. The Disabled Ginger wouldn't exist without Alice and everything she taught me.

Years ago I was suspended on Twitter for inviting Marco Rubio to swallow ten D batteries, which I don’t see how it could be a threat; he and I were not even in the same room and I have at most six D batteries on hand

Out tomorrow: FANTASTIC FOUR #5, guest starring The Black Cat AND Sue Storm (who hates her guts) and a HEIST. :0

I texted @jedmackay.bsky.social a ton to make sure I was writing Felicia well, which is how I lost texting privileges with Jed. But NO REGRETS
The boys are going fishing in the Negative Zone, leaving Sue and Alicia home alone. and who is at the door but Felicia Hardy, Sue Storm's least-favourite person! And she's covered in blood WHOOPS Felicia's in jail and flirting with Sue, trying to get her to help her. She says she's innocent! And in a flashback, we see Felicia's version of events. HOW IS SHE GONNA GET OUT OF THIS ONE?? You'll just have to read the issue to find out!

Been deep in the UI mines upgrading the Witch Words interface. 💬

I realised that a long list was going to be too clunky for constructing Phrases. So now we have this radial business, any Word is always 1 to 3 clicks away. Much snappier, for the working Witch. 🧹

STOP WHAT YOURE DOING

here’s my cat
Fluffy ragdoll cat Nibbler sitting in a 1AD small-medium Amazon cardboard box. He has one elbow propped up on the edge and he’s looking off into the side distance with an air of wistful regret like a surly trucker who’s seen too much and loved too little.

I believe that the state and media backed changing of the meaning of the word, 'Covid' to 'the period of time when non-pharmaceutical interventions were in place' rather than the disease itself will, in the future, be seen as the most damaging linguistic trick in history.
