i've often said on here that 2016-2020 was formative for me in how much time i spent just scrolling social media and feeling bad and feeling powerless, and it seems like a lot of people are going through that now. and so i would recommend not doing that, because it actually helps no one

"Why isn't Xbox issuing a takedown notice??"

They don't want to! They profit off of this!!

When you buy Xbox games, when you promote them uncritically, this is what you are helping fund.

I know it is easy to doomscroll, especially today. Please plan for yourself at least one or many more offline activities. Buy a pastry, read a book, go to a museum, see a friend, cook a meal, play with a pet, or even a trip to Costco. Try to limit time on your phone and avoid stewing in anxiety.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.

The audacity of this administration of known pedophiles to call ANYTHING the "Stop the Sexualization of Children Act" other than a bill that impeaches and punishes every child rapist in office is off the charts... especially with a bill like this that will actively harm trans youth. Fuck this place.

CD is 100 dollars or so short of sustainability. Incredibly valuable resource for anyone who cares about games, whether for research or just casual reading. Also like... look lmao, web's as fractured as it's ever been. Having the roundup gather a bunch of cool stuff you'd never see otherwise is good

I don't say this enough, but Critical Distance is an invaluable resource. If you have the means please consider donating to cover their hosting costs.

I just subscribed and want to gift a year of CD to help raise money. RT this and I'll randomly select someone by EOD.
