I don't think people are ready for this kind of joke yet.

Here is an important way you can make a real difference in the lives of laid off game workers.

In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...

I'm very excited to give this teaser of the pin I've designed for the Moments of Euphoria zine, based off the legend of how Raven stole the sun! If you're interested in getting this pin, check out Tapling Zines' acc and keep an eye out for the fundraiser announcement! 🐦‍⬛🏳️‍⚧️ #formline #telekitneticart

Our final merch reveal for our upcoming Moments of Euphoria Kickstarter! Telekitnetic ( @telekitnetic.bsky.social ) is creating a wooden pin of a raven holding the sun with the trans flag's color palette, in the style of Indigenous Formline art, pulling from lore about ravens as shapeshifters. 🪶

It's always a treat when my job involves a day of drawing. This barn swallow illustration will be part of an interpretive panel explaining the importance of nesting structures for barn swallows. #SciArt

my burnout has been disabling to a degree that i haven't experienced in +15 yrs (and back then I didn't have the words/framework for what I was experiencing. which made it even harder). I'm trying to find my way back to healing and expressing myself again. long nonlinear journey here. tired.

Hello, welcome back to DAY TWO of Etsy Sales to Pay Lawyers to Help Us Get Back Our Money, my least fun new repeating holiday but we're gonna celebrate it with rainbows anyway! Want some rainbows???? WE GOT RAINBOWS!!! 20% OFF RAINBOWS!!! thebrokencircle.etsy...

horse girls, historical reenactors, train guys, trauma nurses...i'm NOT saying you should collect neurodivergent friends on purpose btw. i'm saying you're a writer so your friends are already neurodivergent

This is so critical to existing as a disabled person (including being neurodivergent or having mood disorders). Building your home and life around *what you can actually do*, not making tasks bigger and more difficult than they need to be because That's How It's Supposed to Be Done, is life changing

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

I’m packing my pulps to move to California. This is a daunting task. To keep myself moderately entertained I am going to post 4 random covers from each shelf I finish packing until I’m done.

Timeline cleanse. This is NOT a GenAI image. I didn’t even use filters. The Caravaggio light was just there.

"The Muppet Odyssey would not only have the Nobody joke, it would run that shit into the ground."

Monotropic floating brain can only pick one thing for survival. It chooses “be good at job” instead of “be good at eating meals.” Why measure how well I’m functioning at a basic human level when it’s so much easier to see me for my production value? 🤑 I’m working, so I’m fine!

Somewhere in Germany, a mysterious man has spent months perfecting his bread-cutting technique, aiming to produce a perfectly even slice (as measured by digital caliper). He spoke to WIRED about why he embarked on this mission and the passionate breadhead community cheering him on:

This German Man Is on a Quest to Cut the Perfect Slice of Bread

Armed with high-end knives and digital calipers, Germanbreadcutter has entranced thousands of fans, one loaf at a time.

The sad thing is, it really isn’t. It’s like saying a physicist must be excited to see a suicidal man jump off a bridge. Yes, physics are occurring. But the physics occurring are not particularly stimulating for the intellect and the outcome is just sad. What‘s there to say? “Yep. Buddy went splat.”

I appreciated this Wired review of this chair that I will almost certainly be buying and also I love that whoever created this graphic knows exactly who this chair is for www.wired.com/review/amsea...

people talk a lot about pre/post-internet microgenerations but let me hear from all the others in my microgeneration, the “printing maps off Mapquest” microgeneration.

Can’t lie, the fact that y’all were driving with PAPER maps is insane. Even worse, you had to ask random strangers for directions??

In terms of establishing the fundamental aesthetic of the 1990s strand of cinematic cyberpunk, the 1993 "Super Mario Bros." adaptation is probably up there with "Johnny Mnemonic" and "Lawnmower Man" influence-wise, as much as we all hate to admit it.

Funniest response to Godot's AI policy:

For years we have been overwhelmed by the volume of code contributions we have to review, especially from new contributors. AI has made the problem much worse. That's why we are taking steps to reduce the burden on maintainers while still welcoming new contributors: godotengine.org/article/cont...

The number of times I have wanted to write “this has been talked about extensively you’re just 21” on a student’s paper cannot be calculated in human numerals.

this doesn't even have the full context which makes it funnier

We had a really mean python at work and I gave him back to his owner and was like “he was trying to kill me” and his owner said “well, he only has so many ways to interact with the world. All he has is a face” and it Moved Me

Paula Mulberry, 36, said: “When I was younger, I could sort of tune out the tormented wail of billions of tortured souls, but as I’ve gotten older and experienced burnout, it’s become more distracting.”

Wow! Autistic woman can hear existential howl of meaningless universe

An autistic woman's senses are so finely attuned that she can not only hear the buzzing of electricity in the walls, but also the perpetual background-level shriek of despair emitted by the…

Once again, if you have never been to a WNBA game, I am pleading with you to go. The best vibes of any sporting event I have ever attended. The nonbinary lawyer who got presented with an award during a timeout for their work with LGBTQ kids seeking asylum got a standing ovation.
