Bisexual Polyamorous Genderfluid Gemini with ADHD. The answer to your question is usually "Both." I make games. 🎮 Words and views solely my own. If you're not sure, it was probably sarcasm.
it's two things, to me: 1) trans rights matter because trans people matter and deserve rights, not just because failing to stand for trans rights is a bellwether for inauthentic progressivism more broadly 2) if you can't be trusted on trans rights you can't be trusted on anything

A reminder that there is no free speech in a private corporation- unless you are a member of a labor union. Labor unions don't just raise wages. They protect your right to speak your mind even if your boss doesn't like it - even if your boss is Jeff Bezos, one of the richest men on earth.

A Friday night with my partner who is playing Minecraft. "What are you even doing?" "What do you mean?" "You're in the middle of a lake, building a tower straight up." "Yeah." "What is it for?"
Surprising fact: We are actually NOT seeing more food recalls this year compared with recent years. What we’re seeing is an increase in the number of illnesses caused by contaminated food. This is the largest ever cyclospora outbreak & third-largest foodborne illness outbreak of any kind on record.
they know we don't want it. they do not care.

Meg is understating that the project REALLY deserves to hit its final stretch goal — rules for playing ON BlueSky or other microblogging/social platforms. I for one am VERY CURIOUS about what experimental work she’d dream up…

I just backed PsiRun Second Edition! on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/117... PsiRun is one of my all time favorites. I remember the first time I played it, at a Free RPG Day at Modern Myths before I worked there. It's a big influence on my Forever-in-Progress game Robot Cities.

This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

So after openly deadnaming all our trans folks last week, leadership apologized, but then did not update employee's names for the vote today. This means our trans employees are being forced to openly deadname themselves in order to vote in today's union election. This is deeply fucked.

NEW: Seattle might declare a civil emergency to help LGBTQ (mostly trans) people fleeing red states, so I looked for a Texas angle. An organizer told me that Texas is #1 among trans people looking to relocate: "The baseline hostility to their existence is unbearable." www.chron.com/culture/arti...
So many LGBTQ Texans are moving to this city, it may declare an 'emergency'
Seattle is one of the many places that transgender Texans are resettling after fleeing their home state.
