-IMPORTANT- Gumroad has recently updated their website with the intention of phasing out the ability to manually edit your storefront and allowing you to only edit your storefront via AI agents. I will be dropping gumroad support entirely in the near future. More to come as I sort things out.

So it seems like that @connecticon absolutely dropped the ball with respect to listening to community feedback. I ran some numbers based upon this year's event and the proposed increases for 2027 and here are some findings.

I can't get over how parallel rejectionism of Vatican II is with rejection of the Reconstruction Amendments in US politics. Surely a coincidence that both were forged in the aftermath of a hard-won victory over the forces of violent bigotry.

it's a very particular dread when you're actively editing and updating a google doc with like 10 or so different letters you don't recognize on it

Moon Child is all the rage on Bluesky, but why didn't anyone know about it until now? @john.gamesline.net spoke to @seven.eurosky.social about the viral platformer's second life, as well as the hurdles game developers had in their way during the Commodore Amiga days. gamesline.net/the-second-l...

thinking about the way that people talk about "larp" and "cosplay" when pointing out the essential phoniness of fascists. and I always chafe at it because for me the essential character of larp is the awareness of the artifice, the sensations you get from the gap between player and character.

anyway here’s @greatdismal.bsky.social in 2011 in Zero History describing the obsession with tactical clothing as a fetishized pursuit in a way that perfectly nails the combat cosplay of modern day ICE and BPD

"Young men who dress to feel they'll be mistaken for having special capability. A species of cosplay, really. En-demic. Lots of boys are playing soldier now. The men who run the world aren't, and neither are the boys most effectively bent on running it next. Or the ones who're actually having to be soldiers, of course. But many of the rest have gone gear-queer, to one extent or another." "'Gear-queer?" Bigend's teeth showed. "We had a team of cultural anthropologists interview American soldiers returning from Iraq. That's where we first heard it. It's not wholly derogatory, mind you. There are actual professionals who genuinely require these things—some of them, anyway. Though they generally seem to be far less fascinated with them. But it's that fascination that interests us, of course." "It is?" "It's an obsession with the idea not just of the right stuff, but of the special stuff. Equipment fetishism. The costume and semiotics of achingly elite police and military units. Intense desire to possess same, of course, and in turn to be associated with that world. With its compe-tence, its cocksure exclusivity." "Sounds like fashion, to me." «Exactly. Pants, but only just the right ones. We could never have engineered so powerful a locus of consumer desire. It's like sex in a bottle."
