Ru Ellis didn’t fight her way to F1 to play nice. Sleeping with her teammate is messy. Learning the legend who tried to keep her off the grid is her deadbeat dad-worse. Then one bad decision at 200 mph leaves her needing the father she swore she never would or watch her career slip away. #DVpit #A

What’s IN/OUT this summer: IN🤩 -Arriving at your gran’s with no glasses & perfect vision -Waking up to the smell of her seaweed soup OUT💀 -A stinky guest eating the last bowl of soup, wearing a dress made of your fav clothes & looking just like YOU SPIRITED AWAY x WHEN YOU TRAP A TIGER #DVpit #MG

Goblin Emperor X Poet Empress When forest rebel Sy's only ally—a crown-allergic prince—flees assassins & seeks her aid, she turns kingmaker to oust the tyrant hunting her. The red flag in her scheme? She's falling for this green flag prince AND the "good" power he represents #DVpit #POC #F #A #LGBT

right so i'm at the last day of @gdocexpo.com and the way i feel seen. def glad i took the time to be in community with others who are doing our best to create, build, and sustain a more inclusive game dev community ❤️

It's a bad day for adults who say "six seven"

Also to put a point in this, it means a lot of us, to combat the crisis we're seeing in the industry for adaptations, we need to support efforts to move away from this machine. Support indie creators. Fund projects outside this system. Find other means and not get stuck in the same hamster wheel.

Rose/T.A. Summers@rosepetals1984.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Y'all, I'm going to get this off my chest because I need people to understand that we're in a crisis of Black adaptations being picked up at all by Hollywood. I know this is a conversation that keeps coming up especially with the recent announcement of Children of Blood and Bone. 1/?

Ra'il I'Nasah Kiam co-founded YourSlipisShowing, which played a key role in anti-racist and antifascist organizing online. But his work, like that of so many Black trans organizers, was thoroughly erased — when the movement he helped found was even mentioned at all. This is his story:
