Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.
Praying for his full & speedy recovery.
And so deeply inspired by his example.

Been toying around with pixel art because my curiosity for different mediums knows no bounds, today I made a very round purple cat because I can and I just think that’s neat!

Got to experience chapters 1-4 of Deltarune recently, it was so good it inspired me to try my hand at making fanart. I have a lot of feelings about this troubled teen and their heart shaped object.

Trying to do one doodle per run this #SGDQ2025 and one of the bits I’m most proud of for today is the protagonist from Lenna’s Inception, this character design is adorable!

People and media often say Balatro was made by 'one guy'. I feel like that unfortunately may be stoking the flames of this David vs. Goliath narrative a tiny bit
No it was not 'one guy', look at the dang in-game credits

This year's Summer Games Fest presentation was really concerned with how few people made a lot of those games, huh?
It feels kinda fucked up. Not just because they're often misrepresntating the real size of these teams, but because I think it's playing directly into a new(ish) flavour of dev hate.

Aside from the good they can and do perform, boycotting things you want is crucially important for the simple fact that you have to be able to allow yourself to be materially impacted by your values or they’re fucking worthless. They’re smoke and mirrors. They’re NOTHING.

The ADL has sacrificed every single tenet of Judaism in exchange for silencing criticism of a genocidal government.
The existence of Israel has never and will never keep American Jews safe. But political deportations endanger every Jew (and every other vulnerable population) in the country.

Well, there it is folks. The official ADL position is support for Trump secret police to illegally detain and deport green card holders if they are part of pro-Palestine protests. If and when DHS starts doing this to citizens, count on the ADL to continue its support. This is who they are.

this feels newly-relevant today: “It is a bad habit of the soul to celebrate anyone's death…but there are some people whose deaths come as a relief…because justice was never served for the acts of such a person. And relief is the closest thing to justice that people will experience.”
