The real unfair competition women are being forced into with men is having women's sports constantly separated off as a distinct event which is made to compete commercially with much better funded and socially and institutionally enfranchised men's sporting events & found inadequate by that standard

You all have seen Erin and I fiercely clash over tactics over the years, but this piece makes a wholly reasonable ask that I also endorse. The four in the header image especially suck shit.
The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

in a dark sort of irony, this too is gender: we displace agency from men onto women as a way of excusing their abuse—what did you say to make him hit you? likewise, the (male-coded) political right is always understood as being provoked by the (female & queer-coded) left

It costs $0 to share a queer south east asian disabled small business! It might lead to my next art job! I've exactly 2 weeks of funds for meals, so I'd appreciate help in spreading this! I am also urgently looking for a remote 2D artist position. I can draw all sorts of characters & 2D game asset!
I've been steadily making art all month but I haven't gotten any art orders in Oct. I only need $370 to cover food & utilities. It's a doable amount, cause i only have 1 dog to feed & I've had to put boundaries with my family financially. ☕: ko-fi.com/reinav

Let’s go New Zealand!!!
I needed to keep quiet about this but this is what I was working on earlier this year. My publication “Harming Children: The Effects of the UK puberty-blocker ban” was evidence used for this! I had to submit a lengthy affidavit via NZ local trans group PATHA. Let’s hope we can overturn more now.

**Vaguely motions at any example of Donald Trump not paying people**
Trump announces "fraud whistleblower incentive program" -- "Americans will now be able to go to fraud dot gov and report cases of corruption and theft of taxpayer dollars in their communities ... if you turn somebody in and you find $1 billion, we're giving a commission of 1%. That's a lot of money"

right now there's no guarantee AI usage becomes embedded in indie games. We're a scene. We don't HAVE to be this. Individual choices couldn't matter more in this moment. To see that you can make a small, positive impact at mild inconvenience to yourself and say "nah" is to give up on a better world.

I'll be honest, there is nothing more demoralizing to me than devs saying "I know AI is built on theft, and anti-labour, and harms the environment, but I'm going to use it anyway bc I don't believe individual choices matter". This is how a movement fails. www.molleindustria.org/blog/future-...

I’m sorry to have to be the bad guy here but we need to recognize that we live in a compressed air thrusters world now. If you’re not finding ways to teach the critical use of compressed air thrusters in your classroom, you’re setting your students up to fail when you could be setting them up to fly
