I’m old enough to remember when Donald Trump took out a full page ad demanding the execution of the accused attackers of the Central Park Jogger. Somehow I doubt he’ll do the same for the Cornell 7.

*Commits crime* -> gets put in prison :( *Commits crime, cries "oh sorry, my bad, it was our autonomous AI agent"* -> buy new boat I think commiting crimes with machines is still crimes IMO

Over the week during our 8th anniversary, we announced our 3rd annual Queer Gaming Excellence Recipient for 2026! Congrats to @studiodrydock.com, for their launch of Wylde Flowers on the PS Store in 2025! It's so important that games with queer rep are on multiple platforms. TY 4 all you do!

I met her once. I can imagine how dispiriting the past years have been. She once said: "Far too many people are looking for the right person, instead of trying to be the right person." I'm grateful I got to tell her how much of a hero she was to me, but now we all have to carry the work forward.

"Hope is a form of planning," Gloria Steinem told Judy Woodruff in 2020. "That should not be taken away from us." https://to.pbs.org/4gNLs2S

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

It’s impossible to overstate what Tim Curry meant to me. His work showed us that there is transformative power in creating fictional worlds that manifest real community where anyone can belong. He had range, an inimitable laugh and made everyone question their place of the Kinsey scale. Rest easy.

Dolly Parton, among a thousand other amazing things she did in her life, gifted over 330 million books to kids through her Imagination Library program. Her passing is a tremendous loss to the world, but you can support the program today to keep it going imaginationlibrary.com

Long before I wrote video games about sapphic witches for a living, I was a fairy at the Georgia Ren Faire. I was in charge of the Maypole. My excitement for this movie knows no bounds - and you can still back it on Kickstarter until tomorrow night!

As anyone in publishing will tell you, women do not resist reading books by men, but men will often dismiss books by women. This is not a publishing problem or a failure to target men. It's a misogyny problem.
