people are real into not giving the trump regime what it wants today & that’s good because you shouldn’t, but one of the things it very much wants is to end healthcare for trans kids & even if you don’t care about trans kids (you should; shame on you), what if you told them hell no out of spite?
what should you do? call your senators.

what if they're GOP? call. some house GOP voted against both.

what should you say? try one of these scripts. make it your own! they're less than a minute with built-in bail outs. yes, you should threaten your vote.

who's your senator? tap here: reps.fyi 🧵

i think if you use genai for anything, even writing an email, you're both a moron and a huge baby, and i dont want to play your video game as a result. its not that hard!
As the backlash to generative AI in video games continues to pick up steam heading into 2026, it'll be fascinating to see what is considered "made with generative AI." Can a dev team say they're not using AI if they're writing design docs with Copilot or using chatGPT to make schedules and budgets?

It's very easy:

Just don't. The idea that Copilot or ChatGPT are suddenly essential tools is just buying into the corporate ad blitz.

Games were made just fine (well, relatively) up through...what, 2023? 2024? They didn't suddenly become VITAL for budgets or design docs in the last 2-3 years.

it feels like the most ridiculous thing in the world to say but i’ve basically been waiting my whole life to feel comfortable puttering around doing laundry & cleaning in the middle of the night in just cute underwear & a big sweatshirt & this is the excruciatingly mundane shit i fought for.

hi, cis folks!

this week, with some democrat votes, 2 anti-trans bills passed the house. one bans medicaid funds for trans youth care, the other proposes jail time for providers.

they haven't passed the senate, but dems may need convincing to vote no on both.

tap into the 🧵for a quick action.
a sequel:

cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by the trump-kennedy center than the fact that congress said a second time in 2 days, “no, really this kind of child’s healthcare should be banned & criminalized” & 46/47 non-GOP senators won’t commit to “i will oppose this.”

trans kids should have access to healthcare. same as cis kids. ANYTHING that their parents and doctors think would have a positive impact. Not complicated.

Horrific result from the house vote tonight, but I wanted to call out how incredible @threnody.bsky.social 's scripts for these bills have been as a resource. Calling my reps is never an easy thing, but my wife and I have used these several times - and I can't overstate how impactful it can be.
what should you do? call your congressperson.

what if they're GOP? call. we only need to scare a few.

what should you say? try one of these scripts. they're less than a minute. make it your own! there are built-in bail outs. yes, you should threaten your vote.

if you are a trans teen right now, you do not have the lifetime of experience with the united states federal legislative branch to cope with “this will *probably* die in the senate” on top of the rest of your life and that right there feels like a fucking flavor of abuse at scale.
I haven't been in the pediatric trans healthcare system since 2019 and I can barely look at these headlines without wanting to puke.

Can't imagine the fucking damage this is doing to trans kids today.

hi, cis folks!

today, congress votes on 2 bills —HR498 & HR3492—one bans medicaid funds for providers of trans youth care; the other criminalizes that care, imposing penalties including jail.

either one passing destroys lives. we need you to call & tell your rep to vote no.

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

im so tired of AI so so so fucking tired
half the people i know are just becoming okay with it because "its not that bad here" or "well its not affecting me" or just being giving up entirely and just saying "it's the future" and we have to accept it

give an inch you give pretty much everything

The games industry brings in 300 billion dollars a year. The guy who made DOOM gets his projects canceled, the guy who made Katamari Damacy is broke, everyone in your feed is begging for a job and there are 50 new games coming out on Steam every day all going towards buying Gabe Newell's next yacht
Keita Takahashi (Katamari, Wattam, Noby Noby Boy) has moved back to Japan, and says he may be forced to quit the games industry due to To a T underperforming.

He also says he'd love to work on Katamari again, and for someone to invest in his studio.

CANCEL your Fortnite subscriptions and DELETE the game from all your computers.

Choosing—and yes, it is a CHOICE— to license Harry Potter in 2025 sends a message: "We do not care about trans people."

No amount of Miku or trans-colored cosmetic items can make up for this.

I made a Chrome extension that swaps Times New Roman for Calibri on every site or just .gov. It also had Open Sans and Open Dyslexic, because f**k these people.

I’m waiting for Google’s approval for it to install automatically, but you can download it and install it in 90 seconds. Instructions 👇
