I've been intending to start blogging and have plans to launch a newsletter soon, so you'll now find me on Leaflet too! I posted my essay, 'Reclaiming my Disabled Trans Body' to begin with, if you have not read it before, focused on loving myself despite ableism and transphobia.

A doodle featuring Franziska von Karma, Maya Fey, and Trucy Wright from the Ace Attorney video game franchise. All three are dressed in winter wear as they appear in the Ace Attorney fangame, Echoes of a Turnabout. Maya is standing front and center in the iconic "Objection!" pose as she shouts "THANK YOU!!" in bright purple text (with 2.5k downloads written underneath her speech bubble). Franziska is at her side looking a little caught off guard by Maya's enthusiasm. Behind them and to the right is Trucy Wright, cheering with pom-poms in the air. A tiny little "Yay!" is scribbled above her head.

"If trans people want a boycott of The New York Times, where's the call to do so?" Here is a declaration laying out how the NYT is a key driver of trans genocide, why boycotts work and why anyone who gives a damn about trans lives and rights must boycott The New York Times.

nat / bird king @ play my yuri vn @birdking.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Our #toxicyurivnjam entry! 🎉 written by @el3phantbird.bsky.social , art & code by me "rot with me": a disability horror yuri VN reflecting on the delicate line between resting and rotting. - 5k words, ~20-30 min - 18+ - 2 endings - 90+ images - hEDS screener extra bird-king.itch.io/rot-with-me

Main menu of the game; it has a collage of two women lying in a collage bed; there are plants coming from the corners and the title "rot with me" repeated several times across the composition.

one of the visual novel title cards; it says "0. delicate stems" and has sculptures of two hands clasped, with ribbon embroidery flowers cradling them

a collage wit a woman with butterfly wings and a bewildered expression in the foreground with a pins sticking out of her like a specimen; blood spot tests in the background. the text reads: "It's a very mild electrical stimulus. You might feel a little pressure. You might feel a little discomfort. The sensation that a malevolent force has reached inside your body and yanked your muscles forward, compelled your limbs to move in sudden and painful ways, that's good actually, it means you don't have nerve damage." "Please press the lancet against your finger. Please press your bloodied finger to the paper. Sorry, that's not enough blood. Please try again. Please try again. Please try squeezing your fingers purple. Press down on the bruise. Wring your fingers dry. If even the blood in your body won't cooperate how do you expect to get anything done?"

A green woman with lace flowers on her back curled up on the ground, with green tendrils coming off of her.
the text reads:
"It takes eight steps to get across the room. I make it five.

On the sixth step, my foot hits the ground at an angle that makes my knee slip to the side, and suddenly there is nothing underneath me. The bones slide past each other easily. I hit the floor hard, and wail."

An actual writer or artist or programmer etc can dust off something they made a decade ago and go "let's see what a decade of learning does to this" Someone who outsourced their learning to the gacha machine made of plagiarism and CSAM, *have nothing to revisit* and *no skills learned since*

For your convenience, the Pride and Prejudice live-posting super-thread 📚

A drawing of Elizabeth Bennet, a lovely young woman with her long hair tied up nearly under a ribbon and wearing what is most likely a neo-classically inspired dress, looking pensive, two letters in her hand. Meanwhile Darcy, a handsome but stern-looking fellow, looks longingly at her. Also there is me, a little gremlin in big round glasses, skulking about in the background and hoping that they kiss.

The accompanying text reads “Trung reads Pride and Prejudice for the first time, somehow.”

So I’ve started Pride and Prejudice, and already I feel bad for Mrs Bennet.

i did an interview with google play to talk about how i make my games! 🎮 play.google.com/store/apps/e...

excerpt:

Meet the solo dev telling short,
meaningful stories Getting to know npckc, the creator of One Night, Hot Springs

There's a reason we love "One Night, Hot Springs". Its short, low-pressure experience leaves a profound and lasting impression, smoothly untangling complex issues around gender and culture in the process. It's clear there was a great deal of heart that went into its development, something you can feel in every line. We had the chance to sit down with npckc, the solo dev behind "One Night, Hot Springs" and other heartfelt stories, to discuss the inspirations, how they approach self-expression, and the process of creating small but powerful stories that resonate with lived experience.
