I know it shouldn't surprise me, but omfg Sky Sports trying to launch Sky Sports Halo is WILD. It feels like something that a brand would do in like the 90s or early 00s.
Just unbelievable.

Happier post: we moved into our new home two weeks ago! It's been consuming so much of my mental capacity for the last few months that it's actually hard to overstate the relief of it all being sorted.

Famous last words, but I think once the final part of FF7 comes out that'll be me done with Square-Enix games. Constantly chasing the latest grift trend is so utterly at odds with what I loved about their games growing up.

Besides this list of organizations, donate to individual trans folks asking for help and contact your reps to tell them you won't support anyone who doesn't support trans rights.

this is disgusting, and very, very telling. not only of their racism, but of their confidence that they will face no consequences for it
Gaza Freedom Flotilla has released statement that Black labour leader Chris Smalls (Amazon Labour Union) faced violence that no one else on Handala did. He has been severely beaten in Israeli custody.
Smalls follows in legacy of Black radical tradition for Palestine. Labour must stand for Smalls.

The NSFW games ban currently hitting game platforms comes from the same kind of people that lobbied for UK bathroom bills and used to pilot police crackdowns at gay bars.
It's yet another proxy to force LGBT people and sex workers out. Let's not go down quietly.
