My PyCon talk is up on youtube: I try to teach the fundamentals of CSS and show off a bunch of neat features in 30 minutes. Written for folks who never properly learned it, so if you're new to web dev and can make a proper style tag, it might help you! www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIEs...

Trans rights are human rights, no matter what the bigots on the Supreme Court may say.

Today I was discussing Executive Dysfunction with some folks, and how in our household we call it "The Sits" I decided to make an info poster. It's based on my personal experience with it. Yes, the person is me 😆 #neurodivergent #memes #executivedysfunction

For the 99th time, Donald John Trump isn't going to see you referring to him as subhuman because of his weight. Your fat friends will. So good job being as offensive as possible without changing anything. Is it easier to lash out at random fatties than tell your wh*te uncle he's in a cult?

It costs 0$ to Repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. This is one of my latest knee braces! They are available for pre-order alongside other patterns! Which one is your fave? Store: Bibipins.com

I'm doing #SteamNextFest write ups over on mastodon. I won't be cross posting them, but if you're interested, the thread starts here: ngmx.com/@pathunstrom... (Mostly, if I posted it, I found it interesting or surprising.)

Damn Colbert is a treasure. He very knowingly and intentionally played Linus and Lucy on the air, and the copyright holder joyfully got a fine out of CBS for it and then donated it to World Central kitchen. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

I'm an evil transfem (puts down a boundary)

I was told for two years straight that putting demos in your pipeline was an unreasonable and infeasible practice yet every game I'm interested in for these announcements has a demo. interesting!

For the good of the entire open source community and all open source contributors, these people need to be sued into the ground

> we decided that the codebase is not a derivative work that would require carrying forward the GPL license and have decided to release the code under the MIT instead. oh someone wants to get sued.

I painted the trans sea.

Final Fantasy VII and Silent Hill 2 are the two most overrated games of all time, and despite them being good games, neither is the best entry in its series and neither warrants the absurd praise it's gotten over the decades.

Yellow paint/tape was a smart way to direct player attention to interactable items and parts of the environment without breaking immersion.

Feel as though people will truly never understand his death. He was killed for being an Indigenous Queer Man with a Transgender Partner. Every single one of those signifiers on axis/intersections/marginalizations is extremely important, but it is in tandem all at once not just because he “Gay”.

We lost Jonathan Joss exactly One Year ago today. A neighbor burned his house, killed his dogs and shot him in the street for being Gay. Never forget Jonathan Joss. #KingOfTheHill #JohnRedcorn

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

You ever just play a game written by a friend? That shit's the best.

There's this rule in Swords Without Master that is kind of a big deal, because it breaks traditional GMing advice.† It's why I'm skeptical about #ttrpg aphorisms and give the side-eye to most anything purporting to be a universally good GMing tip.

There are many reasons @roguelike.club hasn’t even really had serious discussions about “should we return in-person?” but this is an important one. Travel is expensive; event venues are frequently inaccessible; per the WHO, we are still in a pandemic. (As you may know, I myself am housebound)

With SGF this week, I wanted to explore the impact of no remote events, especially as a disabled reporter. This industry thrives on in person events for making connections, but what does that look like for me? Read my first byline for @mothership.blog here: www.mothership.blog/as-a-disable...

Whoever told everyone that the TIE in TIE fighter stood for twin ion engine was so full of shit It's clearly called that because you need to be into shibari to pilot one

There is something brutally psychically injurious to being constantly told "just do good work and you'll be successful" while watching people who do the most dogshit work possible do all the succeeding.

*literally tons of research* Neurotypical pple have a bias against autistic people, and struggle to understand them. Autistic ppl communicate well with each other & aren't biased against NTs. *researchers' conclusions* Obviously, autistic people have severe social communication deficits

as an indie dev, i think it is becoming clear that your minimum hardware spec should be a potato from ten years ago if you want to find a player base
