"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.
no such thing as other people's children
I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.
i really can not emphasize enough that the most materially impactful thing you can do for trans people right now is hire them.
I’m raising rent relief funds for Minneapolis immigrant families affected by ICE.
Donations are down, but ICE is very much still here and there’s still so much need. Can you help?

Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act.

Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is.
Spread this pls.

This is certainly the tism talking but I find so much joy in curiosity and the process of learning that the idea of wanting to outsource thinking to a machine is unfathomable to me
That’s the fun part! Why wouldn’t you want to do that?

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs
Nobody has seen me at my lowest as much as gdb. I don't know if a relationship can come back from that. How can I ever look into those eyes again, knowing what they know about me

How it started / how it's going
The so-called Department of Government Efficiency: We saved $1M per year by converting 14,000 magnetic tapes (70 year old technology for information storage) to permanent modern digital records
YOU DID WHAT?
* They likely have some monetization scheme to subsidize the game further than the base cost, such as dlc, microtransactions, or subscriptions.
* Their primary competition, The Sims, launched at the price of $40 and their customers aren't likely to want to spend $70 on a game
I'll correct myself: I think it will be under $70 for a few reasons:
* inZoi Studios is brand new to the life simulation market and will want to use a lower price to attract buyers
