One half of the Queer & Pleasant Strangers. Also a regular of Humans Holler At News. I make podcasts, music, t-shirts, and play board games. Queer, trans, disabled, fan of penguins.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

For those curious, the Steam Machine works out the box with the Xbox Adaptive Controller, Xbox Adaptive Joystick, Hori Flex, and Byowave Proteus Controller. The PS Access controllerbwas the only major accessibility controller not to work correctly with the system.

Me a year ago: eh, I don't really care for MMORPGs. I tried WoW a bit in the late 00s and it wasn't for me. Me now: I can't believe I have to eat, sleep, and go to work. It's seriously cutting into my FFXIV time.

Check out the latest Fix Your Heart Or Die where I join the regular crew and we talk about movie of the year: Teenage Sex And Death At Camp Miasma.

Little Death from #CampMiasma holding their spear, with an overlay of the Red Room pattern from #TwinPeaks: text says "Fix Your Heart Or Die At Camp Miasma"

The painful thing is how those of us in the disability community predicted this outcome - both that ignoring COVID and taking no measures to restrict it's spread would lead to a massive increase in disability, and that those disabled would be blamed for their own conditions.

This is shameful discriminatory and misogynistic reporting. People aren’t choosing disability to be “cool”. Young women don’t have to “prove” to you that they’re sick. Disability rates are skyrocketing because we’ve left a disabling virus rip through the population for over 6 years.
