As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

As you may have heard Youtube is being AWFUL and Shuffle Up specifically is being HIT HARD by the their latest madness.

We didn't even swear in this one! 🤷‍♂️ But...I could still use your help.

Please share and repost and retweet and re-up-whatever: youtu.be/SCWMs8JdoAM

Hey, as someone who makes a living off selling adult games, I would really appreciate people helping to push back against censorship by payment processors. These puritanical extremists pressuring them have been successful because they've made a lot of noise, so we should be making even more noise!
Leaf mentioned in the official itch discord server that the open case they have with Stripe right now is probably the most critical right now. Submit a complaint to Stripe here: stripe.com/legal/compla...

As GDC talk applications have opened, I want to politely remind you that GDC remains one of the most inaccessible, unfairly expensive, and dangerous for-profit game industry events out there - and that offering your labour for free to it just adds value that pressures people into going needlessly.

I'm torn with the release. Sales aren't too good, but the reviews are excellent. The sale-to-review ratio is also incredible. I'm hoping for more eyes for Without a Dawn: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... Thank you for your support! 💚💛

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏

We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch

If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️

Find it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3167970/...

😢Every year GDC reminds me how inaccessible the games industry still is.

As a disabled woman in a single-income household, attending isn’t an option, travel is too expensive & online access is overpriced.

Why not move GDC around to make it more affordable? We need real change.

White cis people need to wake up. Transphobic legislation is part of a broader attempt to control women’s bodies, presentation, and gender expression. Everyone is negatively impacted by transphobia—especially queer, trans, and/or gender non-conforming Black people and Black women.

There hasn't been a single game in my life where I've thought, "Man I wish could ask this NPC absolutely anything I want and they'd respond."

Even if I had, it'd be novel for about 2 minutes.

I'll take 50 handcrafted lines from an actual writer than 1 million from a glorified chat bot any day.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️

Sometimes when I feel crummy, I make something very silly.

So here, have a two-week long game jam where you create a single card from an imaginary collectible card game.

Hosted & judged with @thedovetailor.bsky.social, @vidityavoleti.bsky.social, and a TBA Mystery Judge!
