Absolute mess. Code, art, writing, games (video & ttrpg)— sometimes I make things, but I don't really talk much. Hiking and music fan. (queer - he/any) Itch: https://jeck.itch.io/
The competition's fierce, my team is winning, and the half-time show was absolutely beautiful. This is the most fun I've ever had watching the super bowl.
When I look at fascism throughout history I regularly think "this happened bc the population protested and resisted the secret police too much. I wish they had chilled out, demonstrated proper civility so as not to earn the already occurring oppression, and let the fascist lose the next election

Still looking for someone, haven't found a single person so far (that I can contact). I have a 46-episode script that I need translated. This would be a paid job!
Sena Bryer@senabryer.com · last yr.Completely unrelated to my 2am doomposting but does anyone know an English to Japanese translator, ideally with experience in screenplays?
This bundle has Clawhammer Games' 2 recent crowdfunded projects, Before The Flood and Gravemire. I did layout on those so I'm a bit biased, but imho they're excellent games with focused design that offer unique experiences. & you'd be helping the coolest librarian I've met unban books, so...
Sylvan Lawrence Is Long Hauled Again@lonelamplighter.bsky.social · last yr.There's still ten days left in the Unite Against Book Bans game bundle that I've put together, and any boosts go a long way! Half of the proceeds go to my favorite anti-book-ban organization, and the other half help me, a school librarian! Also it's a super cheap bundle >;3 itch.io/s/160722/uni...
Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91
Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Cancel most of your streaming services. Keep 1 or 2 at a time and rotate them out every few months to see the stuff you want to see, even if it's later on. Rent DVDs from libraries. Use the money you save to buy more physical media and go out to dinner at locally owned restaurants with your friends.
In case you don't know, in my day job, I am a librarian. And September is library card signup month! I've put together a bundle of all of Clawhammer's offerings for $10. Half of the proceeds will be donated to Unite Against Book Bans. Please consider spreading the word! itch.io/s/160722/uni...

Laura Bassett@lebassett.bsky.social · last yr.More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Somewhat hilariously, YouTube's restricted mode hides my most recent video on reading game guides, but DOESN'T hide my video on the Nuremberg Trials. My major takeaway is DON'T SELF-CENSOR YOUR OWN WRITING. You don't know what will or will not be restricted!! Do not comply in advance!!!
There was a gorgeous dyke/trans bar called "Le Monocle" in 1930s Paris. Monocles were a bit like wearing a pride flag among the queer people assigned female at the time, like in this colorized 1937 photo. Nazis shut down the bar during the war, but many patrons stayed in touch for years after. 🧐

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Fire's doubled in size. It's about six miles away. I'm worried about tonight. Per the county fire page, potential for (rainless) thunderstorms and gusty outflows coupled with very dry conditions could lead to extreme fire behavior.
