Photograph of Phoebe on a stage with a microphone. Behind her is a large screen with an agender pride flag and the text "Imagine a world where... where no one cares what gender you are or..."

WHEW! Exhausted, but feel like I nailed our talk on #agender euphoria in #games.

Welcome to the first first-person mutator, Godzone 6.
Brought to you by the creators of Void Bastards and Wild Bastards (and Card Hunter).
Coming in something less than 10,000 years
"Be all you probably shouldn't be"

Please spread the word of Godzone 6. 💀

Hey look at that a new game!
Please spread the word of Godzone 6!

Video games accessibility really isn’t about being perfect.

It’s about caring enough to try before someone has to point it out loud.

Digital artwork of Claire Ryland, aka Riot Purple, from the Magica Riot novel series by Kara Buchanan. She is holding her transformation item, a microphone replete with magica crystals and a big pink bow, and hovers in space while ribbons in the colors of the trans flag entwine around her. The pinks and blues come together to make a beautiful purple.

The @magicariot.com books continue to inspire me. Here's Riot Purple, Claire, in her magical girl transformation! This was so much fun to render, especially the glowy effects 🥰

Look nobody ever accused him of having the suppository of all wisdom

Happy international asexuality day!!! 🖤💜🤍

oh no

You know how the Magica Riot cutie crew and I feel about transphobes and TERFs

this is the most infuriating part of the harry potter discourse - if you're going to watch it, then watch it, god knows millions of people played the stupid game

but if you know enough to be aware of the issues, you don't get to ask trans people to absolve you

A screen shot from one of the Thor films (Thor: Ragnarok), with a dark haired pale skinned woman wearing dark eye makeup and clothing (Cate Blanchett playing Hela, Thor's elder sister) holding her arm straight out, braced against Thor's hammer that has been thrown at her. The scene is over a green field under a cloudy gray sky. The hammer is labeled "It's basic biology". She is labeled "Advanced Biology".

Reposting this meme (with alt text) as a stand alone for any future usage needs where someone might prefer it not being already part of a thread:

Good work telling on yourself. Phoebe provides clear scientific evidence and you still can't get your head out of your ass

An image of Sailor Moon with the test shut the fuck up terf

Say no to Harry Potter. Support trans artists instead. Can recommend @magicariot.com's Magica Riot books for this

Remember: there's no difference between a fan watch and a hate watch in marketing metrics

This is deeply deeply disappointing. Those game modes are fantastic why get rid of them!?

Not even remotely surprising. Seem to be bigger assholes to everyone on the road. Pedestrians, cyclists and other drivers

calvin's dad meme Calvin's Dad: Playing a video game? Let me show you something interesting about final bosses. The two types of final bosses are Final Exam and Victory Lap. All of them fall into these two categories: Asriel Dreemurr? Victory Lap. Sword Saint Isshin? Final Exam. Calvin: Yeah... Calvin's dad: Giygas? Victory Lap. The Boss? Final Exam. Despite being difficult to get through without crying, the Nier Automata credits are a Victory Lap.

I had a vision

Quite simple. They also like the bigotry. And are just showing it openly now.

And its terrifying

The real secret menu was the random shit the overnight crew would make for themselves. Not for customers but I saw some wild shit being made

The only appropriate response for AI sycophants

A white boy One Nation candidate. Running for the party of and for reacists

Why does Broden Kelly have an evil doppelganger running as a One Nation Candidate. @auntydonnaboys.bsky.social

Please tell me you've seen the latest of him going under a different name playing professional backgammon?

Less celebrity but my favourite blocks are by the state opposition leader at the time Matthew Guy and the wanker that is Jonathan Blow. I don't even remember what I said
