Step 1: I don't.

You don't have to, either.

On this day, Indigenous people and allies confront the settler-colonial narratives of “Thanksgiving,” observing it instead as a National Day of Mourning.

In 1970, a new Thanksgiving Day tradition, called Day of Mourning, began in Plymouth. A Wampanoag man named Wamsutta (Frank) James organized a demonstration to bring awareness to the concerns of the Indigenous community including the way Native people had been written about in history.

Also we've stumbled across a bit more stock of a few prints, so certain things that were sold out before may be available again!

50% off still of course!

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

The CDC has turned off its vaccine search tool.

The vaccines.gov site now gives an error when you enter a valid zip code.

They also removed text saying “Vaccines can help you stay healthy” and added a banner saying the site is being updated.

Device…hoarding. Because you don’t go get a new one while yours is still fine.

Apparently I am also practicing car hoarding, house hoarding, husband hoarding, dog hoarding, computer hoarding, furniture hoarding and art hoarding.
stupid young people, stop buying a new phone every year if you don't want to be broke. wait no, not like that.

Really wild situation here: a celebrated and well-regarded indie dev and publisher is facing shutdown because Valve banned their game from Steam and won't talk to them about it, at all.

IGN is paying attention to censorship again. Use their momentum, call visa and mastercard, tell them you read the article, ask them why they're censoring legal stuff

reminder that you don't need to know specifics of what's at play. It's often better to sound like a normie

Sooooo like a lot of people I had the knee jerk reaction that this was a healthcare failure (because America).

But...it's unclear what kind of treatment he is fundraising for and his wife is anti-vaxx and anti-medicine.

I'm not saying don't buy the swag, if you want to

In early prototyping, one of the go-to temp assets we used to test out new bitmap features in Destiny 1 was a bunny with a stack of rainbow pancakes on its head.
It also misses a HUGE opportunity for dev whimsy.

I remember working on Magic: Duels and badly photoshopping tropical print shirts onto placeholder planeswalkers key art while waiting for the full-res files to come in. Because, y'know, we wanted it to be VERY OBVIOUS it wasn't final
Stop using AI for placeholder assets.
Use sketches. Use lorem ipsum. Use bright pink materials. Use programmer art for fucks sake, literally anything else.
If your studio is using AI even for temp, even if they think they've covered their tracks, SPEAK UP because people WILL FIND IT

Among the things social media has caused, it's the lack of realization of boundaries. Some thoughts are for the group chat, some are for Discord, some are just to be shared on the phone or in person with your friends, some are to be kept to yourself.

Not every single thought needs to be public.

I think I can understand this line of thinking to get here but you’d have to do a couple of things to get here:

-Underestimate a seasoned comic’s read of body language.

-Take away the agency from a literal dominatrix.

-Think that the team that makes the shows would miss the uncomfortable cues.

I'm not really a "strength of your conviction" person, but if you crash out typing your entire headcanon about a real person in a place where they will see it, you best be able to handle that real person addressing it and addressing you.

Instead, this person deactivated their entire account. 😑
AHT! AHT! We not deleting after you finally got me to address this. You got your statement. Live with it.

Hey guys! I've decided that I'm going to be closing my shop for the indeterminate future while I re-evaluate what kind of stuff I want to be making, so I'm trying to get rid of all of my old stock! Everything is 50% off and may never come back!

I was supposed to go to London for work last week but that fell though and now my source of income for this month is now gone as I am currently on a slight furlough until I can get another freelance gig coming my way.

I'm in dire straights and could really use the help.
