I think the average person has no idea how a video game is made and so it makes sense they would focus on wanting to save an IP and not the devs behind it. Being on an AAA team means there are a handful of chosen speakers at the top, and the average worker can’t speak out or risk losing their job.
making games so you can hopefully afford to make more games is literally a different industry from grinding up people so number goes up and it is harmful to pretend otherwise regardless of whether or not we share a platform or a binary format
This article does not discuss one major reason why chocolate in the West got worse - Ghana and Ivory Coast, the two African countries that are the biggest suppliers of cacao globally, got organised and started demanding fair prices for it.

i told her stuff about my life and she went "chhavi i think you are having multiple very serious issues in your life 😟" like it's That bad, apparently??
Therapists who speak of therapy as a religion-- mysterious & infallible & necessary to salvation-- are invariably fantasizing about themselves as clergy.
Trauma Brain, the internalized voices of your abusers & bullies, will supply you w/ a never ending stream of "reasons" you "can't" change your life for the better, & why you shouldn't try.
Trauma Brain is exactly as credible & objective as your least favorite cable news channel.
lula won and i've seen multiple independent posts by brazilian lesbians and sapphics all day about how they're going to have lots of sex with each other in celebration. beautiful
Most CPTSD survivors are not trying to get back to who they were "before" the trauma. There may not have BEEN a "before." Most of us are constructing a new version of ourselves from scratch-- & that's complicated.
Be patient w/ yourself when becoming someone you've never been.
my nuclear-grade AI hot take that’s sure to get me cancelled until kingdom come is that refusing to use AI at all is rapidly becoming an extremely privileged lifestyle choice that feels social justice-y while actually being the complete opposite
I'm from latin-america, and I agree. The biggest difference I've seen among small business is AI allowing you to punch at bigger companies. Chinese AI is EXTREMELY more cost-effective for us though.
By defining all trans people as "sort of intersex," you risk drowning out the intersectional marginalisation of intersex trans people. It's a bad idea and undermines solidarity at the expense of some of the most marginalized people in the community.

Fundamentally, intersex is a political category before everything else, and it's a political category in large part defined by the specific ways that intersex people are marginalized, so inventing a form of "neurological intersex" in an attempt to give trans people legitimacy reads very tone deaf.
Today is Intersex Awareness Day. I am intersex – and did not find out until I was 26!
Intersex people are also impacted by the decision in FWS, but this is much less talked about. Intersex people continue to be subjected to non-consensual medical interventions.
Intersex rights are human rights.
Every time I see people citing brain MRI studies to back up the legitimacy of trans people's genders I'm just like... No, sweet innocent baby, don't. You're setting yourself up for a crisis when you find out about the foundational issues with brain sex MRIs.
As a reminder, "It's a red flag for a government to start persecuting its critics" does not mean "if someone is a political opponent of the sitting government you can never ever ever hold them accountable for trying to do election interference or human rights violations when they last had power"

Like that's something that would happen in a very cutting edge satire on the justice system in India but this actually happened irl and in hindsight some parts of it are funny as shit
Remembering the time the police forced me to drop the charges on my rapist and then beat him up as a fun bonding activity anyway, they put up a whole show for my guardians. They even told me to spit on him because it would be very funny
Like that's some dark humor skit nonsense lmfao

You don't have to give up being fiercely independent to recover from CPTSD-- but you may want to work to unwire that hard "I CAN'T let anybody else support me in ANY way" reflex that kicks in.
That reflex isn't "bad." It's just overgeneralized due to trauma conditioning.
"tech bad humanities good" is a false dichotomy. People conflate you with the softer sciences and people conflate us with the business idiots, why are we not able to acknowledge that and then see what we can offer each other
