Bluesky is a great site but you have to unlearn EVERYTHING Twitter has ever taught you to make it useable. Repost yourself. Interact with others. Use tags. Use feeds. Be kind and find kindness. Comment away. It's really really freeing.

i cant imagine what itd take to be a "top performer" at the depraved & miserable meta corporation. Is it whoever clogs the toilet the most?

YES THIS HAPPENED. Also in a general sense if ASL interpreters are working one of my events and there is time, I try to give them access to any prepared materials and generally go over things that I suspect will present an issue for them. The idea they're not needed or useful is shitty ableist BS.

just watched sesame street with my son. i don’t know. it’s not like i’m too good for it, it’s just that i know most of this stuff already. like, i work in journalism. i know 23 letters of the alphabet and i’m confident i’ll learn the rest over the course of my work. i don’t need a tv show for that

very easy to get caught up in the loud obnoxious grifter assholes who decry “wokeness” & complain representation is ruining their “hobby” but the thing that matters is, a bunch of people chanting TRANS RIGHTS raise $2mil+ for great charities twice a year, every year. that’s what it’s all about

Games Done Quick this year has been a great reminder that videogame culture - the actual culture, not aggrieved incels on Youtube - is pretty fucking cool. You'll never hear about some grifter raising millions for charity to riotous applause.

I've managed to make it where twitch viewers have their own guild card for the Sword & Board! it shows your pfp, name, sub tier, level (months subbed) daily checkins, and you can even assign yourself a class! there are 30 available classes so far, and open to suggestions for more!

it really does warm my heart every time we North Americans act like real neighbors to each other. seeing Mexico and Canada rush in to help California is beautiful. speaks to the best in us. don't forget that in the days to come.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus on California: We have fire crews in the danger zones. The Canadian military is now on full alert to help. That’s what we do—we help our neighbors in times of crisis. The fact that Trump isn’t there.. is shocking but this is what criminal grifters do.

hi on January 10 at around 9 pm, someone stole this backpack and a laptop bag out of my car while I was loading up to evacuate from the LA fires. whoever took it please return the sentimental items, particularly a bag with handwritten notes from my parents and my dads lord of the rings books

In the last year literally every single social media userbase for artists has been disrupted, I am currently working on trying to self host my artwork I guess. If any of you have experience writing JS for websites or know of a good online gallery host with albums let me know

saw someone asking what trans people did to deserve all the vitriol, & nothing actual of course. but transness breaks the rule #1 of the conservative hierarchical worldview, that your position is to a large degree defined by your birth. choosing to put yourself in a different tier is heretical

THANK you. Fucking tired of people blaming improved graphics for the cost of gaming budgets when it's clear to anyone with a brain that the reason shit costs so much in video games and almost everywhere else is that MANAGEMENT IS TERRIBLE.

Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social

Why do video games cost so much to make these days? A recent NYT article pinned bloated budgets on the graphical arms race, but that's only a small part of the equation. The real problem? Rampant mismanagement. This week's column is a spicy one: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
