HEY submit that freelancer’s invoice to accounts payable right now. We all know it takes at least net-30 days to get paid. Don’t make the unprotected worker have to scramble to figure out how to pay their bills. That’s sidewalk gum behavior.
Over 150k and still 8 days to go. 🙏 Thank you everyone who has purchased the bundle. Your generosity helps us support laid off game workers who are facing eviction, have put off important medical care/treatment due to losing insurance, and the like. Your solidarity means the world.

For me, it doesn't seem to matter which gendered bathroom I use, they all feel unsafe. Hell, even at the airport using the all gender restroom recently, someone body slammed the door and almost busted it open while I was in there. There needs to be a cultural change regarding restrooms!
Sandy Ernest Allen@sandyernestallen.bsky.social · 8h agoRight now in many parts of this country, I'd feel unsafe entering a men's room, even though I have M on my ID and I'm by all appearances a man, that's how fucked this broader situation is. If you're cis and you've never had to contemplate such things, indeed! We're experiencing different things.
I have also experienced damage to my health because of bathroom access issues as a nonbinary masc person. My pelvic & urinary health was impacted by how hard it was to safely access restrooms. I was followed in, had people pulling children away from me like I was a rabid dog, & I was terrified.+

and when you consider how cameras and eyeballs work, how you look at a mirror is significantly different from how you look at a screen.
Joseph Rezek@rezekjoe.bsky.social · 22h agoI was in a friend’s rental car and in place of a rear-view mirror there was a mirror-sized digital video feed of the back of the car. They replaced one of the most reliable & intuitive safety features in a car with a digital surrogate that could glitch at any moment. KEEP ANALOG SAFTEY FEATURES
Reminder to everyone living with smoky air right now: DRINK MORE WATER. You're inhaling particulate even if you can't see it, your body needs to flush that crud out, and it needs water to do so. You're probably gonna produce more mucus and that's annoying, but it's helping clean out the crud.
Most aren't accessible for blind & low vision parents either 😑 Also. Omg. WHHYYYYY are there so many?!! One for the classroom, one for the sports team, one for the travel fundraiser - and there's no guarantee that even if you children are AT THE SAME SCHOOL that the teacher will use the same app 🤯😫
samuel mehr@mehr.nz · 19h agowhat is the most jankily developed type of mobile app and why is it the kind that schools pay for, with public money, to share identifiable data involving children
Someone let me know the community copies were out on Turn, so I have refreshed them. In doing so I saw someone has left a 2 star review with no comments. Tbh, it's a bummer. I don't even get to do game design anymore, I basically give my work away for free to any marginalized folks. What the eff.:/
Considering how COVID itself can affect early menopause risk, I wonder how many of these women didn't get perimenopausal from "the jab" but instead from, y'know, the illness the vax is intended for.

Demanding to examine a child's genitals for them to play sports is fucking insane
Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 2d agoAn initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

I think of the headlines below whenever someone insists the worst most horrible thing that happened "during covid" was that children were harmed by schools being closed. We had YEARS of coast-to-coast waves of running out of room for dead bodies * "during covid" is now, we're still during covid

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.
Yes, this is 100% about censorship in general, and the current anti-sexual weirdness that’s going on. But a paragraph near the end of the article is especially telling… ASMR is primarily created by women. Women doing anything will always be perceived by some as inherently sexual (excerpt in comms)
Sam Cole@samleecole.bsky.social · 5d agoa bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...
Also "so Hank Green was an idiot all along!" You're missing the forest for the trees here. Smart people are susceptible to cult tactics and AI uses cult tactics. Saying "so he was stupid!" just ignores the threat.
I’m happy to report that the unique mechanic in the GenCon multi-table Heart game - that players who are playing the same pregens are actually shards of the same reincarnated saint from slightly different realities, and if they meet they instantly glom together into one body - is going well
As we recall the trauma caused by COVID in 2020, we should not forget COVID continues to harm. Many still suffer from Long COVID, people who mask are often harassed, and we haven’t scaled clean air infrastructure. If we truly acknowledge past harms, we should be working to create a better future.
