Gamers! My pal Ross Isaacs — former Star Trek RPG developer for Last Unicorn and Decipher — is still facing horrible health issues and is in danger of having his phone and electricity shut off. He's also been forced to cancel essential medical procedures.

seeing trans joy and gender euphoria literally helped me access Cis+, and become way more comfortable expressing my femininity. Words can't express how grateful I am to the trans community for that!!!
There are just some relationships that are defined by battle and that's the whole point. I kind of wish we romanticised that push and pull more than we do "getting along".
Pancreatic cancer usually kills within a year or two of diagnosis. In this trial, nearly all 8 responders are still alive six years later. The 5-year survival rate is usually only around 12%. We should be increasing federal funding for mRNA research, not cutting it.
Seriously, Palantir and Thiel are really one degree away from being a Final Fantasy villain.
The cis reaction Caitlyn Jenner stuff is like if every time a Kash Patel was in the news, the reaction online was mostly people calling him racial slurs and mocking his name for being Indian.
If you want to know if someone is transphobic, watch how they talk about trans people they don't like.
Looksmaxxing seems to be the act of trying to make yourself look like the caricature puppets from the music video for “Land of Confusion.”

Most analyses of the elections in #Hungary focus on how Magyar won – @dfeher.bsky.social of #UBIE asks why it took sixteen years to bring down #Orbán. The answer reveals something fundamental about economic dependency and the case for #UBI as democratic infrastructure.

BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores.
The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act.
Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.
A lot of feminists push for the criminalization of sex work & the destruction of digital spaces for sex workers to post ads + screen clients. This essay shows you one outcome of that: a marketplace that favors the clients over the providers by every conceivable metric by cultivating whorephobia.
Can confirm
would like to have a wee little word with all the people who said everyone was overreacting to the california OS age signal legislation
They sell ANDOR action figures, of course, and of course the audience is 35-50-year-olds, but it's deeply funny to imagine children playing with little Luthen Rael and Saw Gerrera dolls.
CHILD 1: I think violence is not only justified, but demanded
CHILD 2: I agree, but haste could be our undoing
People have said this before, but it's weird that if you are in the Bluesky age demographic of 38 to 42, young people right now are talking *exactly* like the incel loser 4chan dweebs you encountered 15 years ago.
They're using words you deeply associated, long ago, with incel CSAM dweebs on chans
Here’s just ONE of the artists Marvel Studios let go today:
Wesley Burt, a brilliant veteran, one of the best in the industry. He made the viral Fantastic Four Valentine’s day card!
He was also pivotal for the look of many films and shows like for example Loki, Black Panther, Avengers and so on!
A metal rat lantern concept for Diablo iv
A book cover of a young blonde man on a boat traveling down a venetian canal.
A dark elf jumping through a liquid painting on a gallery wall.
Three dark fantasy helmet concepts.

Disgusting reporting by BBC using a tiny number of cases to suggest widespread abuse of a system which routinely denies LGBTQIA+ individuals asylum and forces them back into environments of persecution. This article massively distorts the reality of the situation. 1/

Greetings fellow denizens of the blue skies.
I'm and old school D&D nerd who draws fantasy maps for a living. While sharing is much appreciated, it's not mandatory.
Comments, though, are most welcome.
You may now resume scrolling and have a pleasant day.
So sad to learn of the passing of Moya Brennan of Clannad. For me, her singing was the bridge between the old traditions of Irish music and something new and vibrant as contemporary sounds and influences came into it.
Her instrument was her voice, and it was stunning.

"Writing with [insert stylistic quirk] is a giveaway that it's AI."
"You can tell this drawing is AI because [insert stylistic quirk]."
My sweet little children, WE DID THOSE THINGS FIRST. AI didn't invent the Oxford comma or the em dash - we used them correctly, and AI *stole our work*.
This makes me feel better weirdly.
Absolutely monstrous.
This is why any Democrat who doesn't run on trials and punishment of those responsible for these horrors is a non-starter. Allow this to pass by without justice, and you give permission for it to keep happening.
