'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

Absolutely insane that we have the technology to fit 8 billion digits on a fingernail-sized piece of a material of our species' own creation that will last for hundreds of years and instead we're using most of that technology to destroy the planet, our art, and our very bodies. Fucking insane.

Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

Trans people are natural, trans people are magical. 🌈 Beautiful art by @hellomynameiswednesday

There are 3 versions of everything you write. There’s the one in your head, the one you get on the page, and the one the audience receives. The first does not exist, and the third is none of your business.

And this beautiful game on grief is out now! If you want to support Arab-made work about the Arab world, history, arts, and culture -especially in a time of destruction and erasure towards our people- I cannot recommend this game more. store.steampowered.com/app/3451680/...

I've wished for Arab-made games about Arab mythology for so long, and despite assisting on the project I still can't believe there's one swinging for the fences this hard. House of Hikmah is something very needed in a time where the world would rather erase us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZTu...

talk about your joy so others know it's possible

We need your trans joy. We need to know it's possible. This issue is an absolute explosion of spring trans joy, trans publishing gems, and many first-of-their-kind features!

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

I know this is impossible for us discuss in this current moment but... People want to do interesting, thoughtful, creative, day to day work. They want to care for each other, and feel like they are contributing to something bigger. It should be where we start when we think about our communities.

I personally believe that programming and coding in general counts as art- you need talent, vision technique and creativity to do it well. I think that counts as creative art, imho. so it always feels so odd to me to see programmers love vibe-coding. Why are they ok with it but we artists aren't

Just a quick reminder that this country has active concentration camps in full operation right fucking now.

The layoffs across games and games journalism have been disproportionately affecting the women in the industry, and even more so, black women. Support the indies that champion their voices before it's too late (& please share more in the replies) @aftermath.site @mothership.blog

"Racist people are firing and laying off Black women at three times the rate of other women." 😬Yikes! It sounds bad when you say it like that! "Black women are losing jobs at 3 times the rate." Much better! Makes it sound like the Black women just need to be more careful or better at their jobs!

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Benito said "God Bless America," and then proceeded to name every country in South and North America. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights. There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us. This is my favorite guide.
