Please remember, there are millions of people who are going about their lives as though everything is normal right now. There are also folks who have no idea that we exist, including groups and organizations who could be great allies. Mobilizing and organizing all of them is a huge undertaking.

What is the lifespan of software? What if you make software that's silly and full of whimsy? Will people remember it? Anyway, here's a video someone recently posted of “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan performed through the composer feature in Mario Paint, a game released on Super Nintendo in 1992

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.
I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):
1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*
2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything
3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can
4. Citizens march en mass

one reason democrats should cut the “we just want to work together” shit is that you lose the opportunity to do things like, for instance, hold a loud press conference on the fact that trumps ICE thugs arrested a veteran www.newarknj.gov/news/mayor-r...

Couldn't fit into my conference clothes, not a great discovery on the eve of travel. Wearing informal clothing to professional development networking does wonders for social anxiety -_-

Hi. You made it to the weekend. Have you eaten something?
There's no valor in unnecessary suffering or working yourself into the ground. You are worth taking care of. Stay hydrated, get enough sleep, and try to make plans for something fun tomorrow. You still deserve time to play, rest and recover.

Really enjoyed Lorcana league! Got a warm welcome, 3 multiplayer games (more than one opponent is my favorite format) and an introduction to the local group. Someone laughed at my formality when I asked if there was a polite way to shuffle a single card back into the deck.

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.

Everyday for many years will be filled with the most abhorrent political news. I say pay attention, keep track, record your book of grudges like dwarven royalty. But do so in order to rectify, to see the ones who need help most and help where you can. Before, during and after disaster.

Being happy, being healthy, and loving your fullest is kryptonite to some. I can't pretend away the bad, and I can't hold in my sorrow but being happy is truly the best form of vengeance.
