Round two of big companies censoring content that dares to have uncomfortablecommentary. If you are able, try supporting humble Itch or GOG and buy your games there. #steam #epicgames #gaming #indiegames
Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

But okay, legit, Steam is a hellscape of games with problematic content. So why is a horror game from a reputable indie studio that explores something profound and human being banned with no discernible reason?
Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

This is for visibility on why I support the government shut down, because most of us can't afford even more expensive healthcare. I know this topic is polarizing, but it's important to me people know where I stand. These two say it best. #AOC #BernieSanders
We believe healthcare is a right for every American.
But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies.
Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

Excited to share another paper from work I did during my PhD with @trishschulte.bsky.social and @madisonearhart.bsky.social. We looked at how fish embryos respond differently to constant and fluctuating temperatures! 🐟
Atlantic killifish are robust little fish, but now @tblanchard.bsky.social & co reveal that fluctuating temperatures while the embryos are developing in the egg can have beneficial and damaging consequences

On the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, I signed this letter of support for the FEMA dissenters. Please join me, friends!
The #FEMA36 didn’t stay quiet when lives were on the line. They spoke out & were punished for it.
Now it’s our turn to stand up for them. Sign your support here 👉
