The three words Ted came up with to describe himself... what does it take to feel like those words describe you. I haven't felt like that was true in over 25 years. Absolutely wrecked me.

My new game FlipTacToe is live on www.42Games.fun it's a strategic upgrade to Tic tac toe with a feel of go or chess but the avg game is under 30 moves. Bots teach strategy through play that leads to a bot being designed on your strategy for async leaderboards and an ELO system. Try it out!

Based on that target number, every person on the planet has to get a new phone ever 6.5 years. Maybe we should start building phones that will last (more than just functionally, on a technology basis) longer.
No public link for this yet, buy W O O F that's a big number

This is fucked up.
I told my sister on Christmas just how important my nephew is to me. He's the firsts baby from any of my siblings. I told her I can't have kids of my own, and she said there are other ways. I said to her "by the time I can afford to adopt, this country will not allow a trans woman to."
this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.

Query for my #BlackSky friends/fam/mutuals/friendlies: Do you know how to speak Twi (the Akan language)?

I need help with a pronunciation thing that could take you only a couple of minutes and ends with me sending you a signed book before it comes out as a thanks :)

Does anyone else have the issue that the activity you do to help with depression normally, if you do it when you're not depressed, will trigger depression? Just me? Cool cool cool

I always feel like I occupy too much space. Physically, socially and emotionally. Like I'm not worthy to be involved or in anyone's way. My contributions should be limited to what's asked of me and I should keep my mouth shut otherwise. My problems aren't worth anyone's bother, not even my own.

A reminder that this is a .03 cent card and spreads an important message!
I have bought all the Ice Outs I can find locally and will be posting some of these cards around town.

I know it's the smallest of small things, but I feel like this card is a good way to spread the message. People are being kidnapped and cruelly murdered in the streets. Fuck ICE.

Make a statement wherever you are with these stickers!

10% of profits will be donated to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.
Hey I have new sticker designs on my Etsy store that were definitely not motivated by anything specific.

If anyone was still pretending this isn’t just about excluding trans kids from public life, the Trump administration just opened a Title IX investigation into a Maine school district because a trans student is on a *co-ed* cheerleading squad.

Hey, I know a lot of you use Discord.

You need to get on this survey and make it damn clear to them that this would be the absolute wrong direction. The last thing we need is the slop-spewing environment-chewing plagiarism bots invading there, too.

President Trump said on Saturday that Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as Venezuela’s interim president and would act as a partner in letting the U.S. run the country. Less than two hours later, Rodríguez made clear she viewed the U.S. as an illegal invader that must be rejected.

President Trump said that Venezuela’s new leader, Delcy Rodríguez, would help the United States run Venezuela. She quickly said the opposite.

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying children for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.
