A bipedal red fox paints a rainbow across the sky. They have a determined look on their face. To the right of the rainbow are segments of text from newspaper articles about grim news for LGBTQIA+ folks, especially trans folks. On the left, there are flowers on the ground, with butterflies flittering about. The discouraging words are illegible faint smudges. Artist: BriarhideIllust
Persist against all odds
Rare lovely nerd-town moment with my favorite people <3
“…the rest you will have to learn from women and queers — out in the dark. Also, don’t be too artistic to count your own receipts. Also, carry your pistol. There are thugs out there.” #happyPride #futw
“understanding hypernormalization gives us language – and permission – to recognize when systems are failing, and clarifies the risk of not taking action when we can.”
“the visceral sense of waking up in an alternate timeline with a deep, bodily knowing that something isn’t right – but having no clear idea how to fix it”

We have had an impact on the local Francophone scene
I donated design time to help our local volunteer pride group with their signs and promotional material and it’s awesome to see them popping up everywhere.
Each a small gesture but especially here and this year, solidarity means a lot.
Iceland tho?
Sometimes I feel like we didn’t entirely fail as parents
I don’t really agree with the framing or the analysis here, but fascinating to me that Superhot feels like it’s missing something because it is… I’ve played through twice and wasn’t aware there was a story clawback, just assumed it was unfinished.
cw: discussion of suicide
Also Quill is adorable (if you haven’t played Moss you should)
Another major feature out today! Couldn’t be more humbled and impressed by my brilliant coworkers.
As an established user you might not get the big deal, but getting creators paid while providing folks w/ fast secure access to an identity that feels right is core and I’m thrilled. Onward!
Happy day to @anindita.org. Exceptional mother to M and monstrous plants! 🍾🌿🍤
Pretty sure this is like the least h…never mind.
Someday, all this will be fur…
Today!
Are you going to PAX? Come hang out on Saturday with a bunch of furry nerds (including me) and debate the inherent furry-ness of various game characters!
Why? Why not.

Hello PAX! I’m not a YouTuber, but find me if you want my redbull?
It me.
Some more bunker howls just because
Stick me in a bunker, and I’ll sing Portishead. Too much Tank Girl in my youth, I guess 🤷🏾♀️
The acoustics were wild…
Pretty spectacular Indian meal, got a new tarot deck and went to see “Sinners.” Decent Friday ^.^
Not sure how we got this old, but happy to do it with you 💕
the labor of art is mostly invisible. what you don't see in a finished piece is all the hours of thought it required, all the little discoveries and surprises and tragedies of production. art IS the process. if you aren't interested in the process, then i don't really know why you want to be artist
Very proud of the team for both advocating and seeing this small but significant change through! You are seen and you are loved.
I’m really pleased to announce a book to accompany the upcoming Design and Disability show - a series of great conversations, with a few essays, around disabled cultural production, experience and expertise with design uk.bookshop.org/p/books/desi...
New side project arrived and it’s speaking to me on an existential level.
