Happy #IntersexAwarenessDay! Intersex is a broad term that encompasses variations in sex characteristics or reproductive anatomy. These variations can manifest in several ways including differences in genitalia, hormones, internal anatomy, or chromosomes.

Man, I'm salty. Kickstarter "help" scammers stopped using AI and began an email convo with an actual legit question an actual legit potential backer would ask. That sucks. Help combat this suck by being a real one! Back this all-trans Kickstarter (if able) and share (which you are able)!

Oh, hey It’s #intersex awareness day I am And because the entire system lies to intersex people & suppresses our stories, while I knew something -had- to be up, I did not know I was intersex until I was almost 30 That was tough Raise awareness, so it’s not so hard for others #LGBTQIA

FRIENDS: recommend some trans-authored books (including yours!) in the comments! And if you've never read a book by a trans person, browse the comments and you may find your next great read. No time like the present to stick it to the pieces of shit who think we ought neither to be seen or heard

instead of hearing about ai more can you just punch me in the head until I pass out

😭 Gideon Emery posted a lovely video about BioWare. www.instagram.com/reel/De4r9dU...

I have been extremely Adult and bought a real bed. The cats seem to approve. Thanks to @rahaeli.bsky.social for the recommendation (ages ago, you were talking up your mattress).

One more for the afternoon crowd. Two of the last lines of dialogue I wrote on the last BioWare game I shipped.

Very heavy news as our former studio, BioWare closes its doors today. It was a formative place for many. However, many former BioWare devs are scattered around the industry. Find them, support them. Like, follow, comment and help us prove there is still support for the types of games we make!

Fun fact: The Incandescent started life as ‘the first enchanter and the knight commander of the templars in the circle tower section of dragon age origins should have kissed. also, they should both be women.‘

This is them stripping the company for parts. In a better economy with anyone else investing in video game companies, they might try to sell Bioware. Instead, it's cheaper just to shut it down, people and legendary games be damned.

WHAT ABOUT THE DEVS?? For the newly laid off ME team, that's complicated. To my knowledge, the people largely writing on the new ME did not work on the previous MEs. I have not heard where the current people are going. I'm also a Dragon Age fan account, so I know them better. Where did they land?

The latest update on 'How to bypass the Dragon Age Keep in case it goes down'! - PC saves are easily edited with a save editor, and so far are reported to be working as intended. - PS users have the method below which does require a computer to edit, but it's something! - Xbox... we dont know 😬

I kind of let a lot of my podcasts go when I was finishing the PhD/moving/starting the new job and I feel like something's finally healing and I'm catching back up on everything. Currently making my way thru @thepenumbrapod.bsky.social Juno Steel episodes and it's like coming home 🥰

immediately sent this to @totallydonna.kitrocha.com just to watch her brain blue screen

Recently, Must Read Magazines (MRM) bought three of the most legendary SFF magazines: Analog, Asimov’s, and The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. MRM immediately started changing the contracts to try to take more rights from authors without paying for them.

This is not "a controversial vaccine trial," it's biological warfare, conducted by European researchers on African infants. It's imperialism, racism, eugenics, and the hubris of incredibly stupid people. It's denying vaccines to newborns! In what fuckin universe is this a "vaccine trial"?

the machine that automatically commits fraud did that. why would we be held responsible, just for building a machine that automates the commission of white collar crimes?
