Hate doing this, because everyone is skint, but Oz is the only important thing in my life and I'm too broke to cover his additional surgery. If you'd like to help, please use OZVET20 at checkout on fenrisgames.com/shop for a nice discount or ko-fi.com/fenrisgames if you don't need toys.
Thankyou 💔

If every follower I have donated 50 cents I would have enough to cover Benny's surgery.

If you can afford it please throw me anything you can, if you can't please share the link.

I am literally begging you to read the very short book. that's what the book is about. that's literally what the book is about. Mary Shelley's Frabkenstein is the first book about not building the torment nexus. you're as bad as the fucking Sun. it's a short book you're supposed to be fucking journ–

The fuss over who appears in TV adverts misses the point...
Adverts aren't meant to be a mirror of society, but to reflect the advertiser's openness to society as a whole. A photo of 10 people, including one in a wheelchair, doesn't say 10% of the UK are in wheelchairs, but it does signify that people in wheelchairs are welcome at the venue. Likewise adverts showing men as nursery teachers, women as builders, Asian people down the pub etc -- it's saying "you're welcome here, join us". And yes, that means including black people in adverts shown in parts of the UK where they are a minority. Too often we hear that people grew up avoiding something because they never saw people like them doing it -- and adverts that show the diversity of society fix that visibility problem by saying "yes, you can do this if you want". Isn't that a good thing?

not gonna leave you hanging on the latin dog epitaph
Portavi lacrimis madidus te nostra catella, quod feci lustris laetior ante tribus. ergo mihi, Patrice, iam non dabis osculla mille nec poteris collo grata cubare meo. tristis marmorea posui te sede merentem et iunxi semper manib(us) ipse meis, morib(us) argutis hominem simulare paratam; perdidimus quales, hei mihi, delicias. tu dulcis, Patrice, nostras attingere mensas consueras, gremio poscere blanda cibos, lambere tu calicem lingua rapiente solebas quem tibi saepe meae sustinuere manus, accipere et lassum cauda gaudente frequenter Bedewed with tears I have carried you, our little dog, as in happier circumstances I did fifteen years ago. So now, Patrice, you will no longer give me a thousand kisses, nor will you be able to lie affectionately round my neck. You were a good dog, and in sorrow I have placed you in a marble tomb, and I have united you forever to myself when I die. You readily matched a human with your clever ways; alas, what a pet we have lost! You, sweet Patrice, were in the habit of joining us at table and fawningly asking for food in our lap, you were accustomed to lick with your greedy tongue the cup which my hands often held for you and regularly to welcome your tired master with wagging tail.

“You’re so anti “AI””

I’m anti a bunch of filthy rich tech bros stealing my work and all my artist friends work to make even more money than they already have. My question is why are you so happy for this to be happening when you will never be part of their rich techy club?

I’ve been using it for Spanish since this past winter, and the decline in quality since the inclusion of AI is striking. The things it’s teaching me make no sense anymore. As my best friend put it, “Duolingo’s goal is not to teach you a language, but to keep you using Duolingo.”

Terence Fisher directs Christopher Lee on set for The Devil Rides Out, which began principal photography on this day in 1967. 🖤

Could you help us out? It's been one of the quietest months in a decade, and partly I believe it's because people don't know we exist! Hi! I'm Annie! I run Bad Squiddo Games! We hand sculpt & hand cast 28mm scale models of women, critters, scenics & occasionally a man!

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏

We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch

If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️
