No matter how good you’re living, it means nothing if you don’t take care of yourself
Happy to write a whole essay on @softnotweak.bsky.social's Spirit Swap! It's now one of my favorite indie games b/c of how it let its LGBTQ+ cast be emotionally vulnerable while learning to take care of themselves and each other.
Mothership@mothership.blog · 9h agoIt’s @wordsfromapenn.com back today with a look at Soft Not Weak’s Spirit Swap, which paints queerness as, well, soft, but not weak.

Mega Hyper Heroes/Mega Diaper Babies (Rugrats). The babies joyfully riffing on 90s Rob Liefeld Image Comics/Captain Planet while being its own thing. This is the type of parody that I seek most: Doing it out of love and respect rather than spite and hate. Great stuff.

I wish Sharon Lewis had just did an indie adaptation of Children of Blood & Bone instead. She did a great job doing a prequel film to Nalo Hopkinson's Brown Girl In The Ring called Brown Girl Begins.
I haven't seen it anywhere today, so I guess ill bring it up. It was 10 years ago today that Baltimore police murdered 23yr old Korryn Gaines and also shot her young son, who survived. Names like Korryn Gaines are why the #SayHerName movement began, as Black women's names are often forgotten
Dark-skinned Black women are gorgeous & I would love to see more of them cast as leads in fantasy movies please
