Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.
Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.
oh you can bet anything I do for myself I teach to them
Also shoutouts to anybody who transitioned / came out for / at / because of GDC. My second birthday is March 21 since the conference dates change, but really it will always be "Thursday of GDC week."
I still always feel like one of those bananas conspiracy theorists when I try to explain to people how you can draw a direct line from a woman making some YouTube videos about feminism in video games all the way to the downfall of the American Empire.
For the severalth year in a row I'm not at #GDC (I've been supporting three people on one indie salary for 7 years now). This sucks because I always came back invigorated from hearing everyone talk about their craft. If anybody wants to chat Bounty Star or their game, I'm here / there in spirit.

we need more places where he can exist in public without being expected to buy anything, not fewer
Text in the Hoppers credits that reads “dedicated to beavers, monarch butterflies, all living things, and the humans who love and protect them”
I’m not crying…you’re crying.
This dedication at the end of the Hoppers credits has made just about every beaver person, ecologist, environmental scientist, and nature lover I know tear up a bit (or for many of us, full on lose it in tears again).
Pond Rule #3: we’re all in this together.

Strong reminder: women have not been independent for as long as some folks would like you to believe. We’ve lost rights that we never should have lost.
Soviet realist painting of a woman operating a port crane. Our perspective is from behind her so we see the lofty view of the port out the window of the crane’s cab

My photo shows a famous wall painting from Pompeii known as the Sappho fresco. It shows the head and upper body of a young woman framed inside a painted circular border. She faces forward. Her eyes are large and dark, gazing to one side with a calm and thoughtful expression, as if pausing mid-thought. Her skin is pale, and her hair is dark brown and tightly curled, forming small ringlets around her face. A thin golden hairnet holds her curls in place. She wears small gold hoop earrings, and a brown cloak over a green garment. In her right hand she holds a thin dark metal stylus (writing tool) up against her lips, as if thinking about what to write. In her left hand she holds a small rectangular wooden wax writing tablet. The fresco is now on display at the Muso Archeologico Nazionale in Naples

A beautiful Roman portrait of a young woman for #InternationalWomensDay
She holds a writing tablet, and raises a writing stylus to her lips in thoughtful contemplation. 55-70 AD.

I have little worry because I have specifically made the effort to equip them with digital literacy and a functional bullshit detector, because those are critical prerequisites to being a free citizen of Earth in 2026.
I have a 10 year old child, and I have very little worry about their ability to interact safely online going into their teens. What I do worry is they will be denied access to information because Karen D Helicopter and Jimbob R Queerhater both love digital surveillance and border checkpoints.
EFF is appalled by how quickly and uncritically internet restrictions are being adopted around the world, David Greene told CNET. "Even if they are under 18, or under 16, children have the right to access information, to speak and to associate.” www.cnet.com/tech/servic...

Cover art from 9 videogames that affected me greatly, in no particular order. Riven: The Sequel to Myst, Super Metroid, Life is Strange, NieR: Automata, Dishonored Death of the Outsider, Horizon Forbidden West, Chrono Trigger, Hexen: Beyond Heretic, and Ultima Online
I no doubt forgot like 30 that belong in the top 9, but these 9 certainly belong in the top 9.

Spotify starves artists to pay this fuckin clown millions. It can feel daunting to leave if you've lived in it for years, but streaming music is a utility now, it's easier than you think to swap providers (and bring your playlists/library with you). Here's a good guide from @bcmerchant.bsky.social:
1. Missouri appears to be forging ahead with 3 bathroom bans in public buildings across the state.
They heard 3 bills in a single night on the topic.
Lawmakers are worried that we could see what happened to Kansas happen there too.
The latest from our writer S. Baum.
I will also accept Fraude
More like Flaude right?
