sending love to all my trans pals
Want to recommend Dr Fatima as well if people are interested in astronomy (somewhat related haha) She does a great job of relating contemporary science shenanigans to the long arc of colonialism
meme meter vs transmasc inclusion, tough choice indeed /s
transmasc confusion
he sure does want a lot of people to cease to exist
Does anyone understand what group of people she's even refering to here? Women who have gone through sexual assault? Is changing in front of a trans woman=not existing? Genuinely confused
no you see it's only fascism if it affects white cis citizens /s
I'd love to know exactly when biden was "a staunch supporter of transgender rights"
Yeah definitely, I feel like there are so many ideas to explore!
Back in the day Notch (groan) would post on Google+ (groan) about creating self sustaining ecosystems within minecraft e.g. chopped down trees drop seeds to the floor, rain make them grow & regrows, sheep feed on the grass, the sheep breed, wolves hunt the sheep, wolves corpses get reduced to dirt by mushrooms etc. I suspect that last part of the cycle is why this never came to pass in what was being marketed as a game for children (god forbid white children's ego is in any way challenged). Anyway that sounded like such a better idea than wherever the game ended up going i.e. more progress, more colonial (con)quests for exotic treasure.
With the success Minecraft has seen, I'm shocked we haven't seen more cracks at a block builder game in general, but specifically it would be heartening to see a project that has a different focus than technological progress. Or maybe I'm talking out of my ass and haven't explored enough Minetest mods.
You're right that probably none of us will find themselves at an event with Kamala Harris in it, but this is very much a widespread issue in the queer community and not isolated to govt events. White (non-immigrant, non-disabled) queers can be especially insufferable, because they have a sense that due to their experience as a queer person, they understand all forms of oppression and have an inherent connection to all other oppressed people. That's obviously not strictly untrue in a sense that all our struggles are connected, but the white privilege invites a lack of effort to understand exactly in what way they are and are not connected, and leads to white queers doing racism pretty often.
Reminds me of when the UK house of commons voted recently to determine Rwanda a safe place to deport people, despite even the courts saying otherwise

Spent a bit too much money for my liking this time around, I think I got a bit too excited after getting a steam deck recently... From lowest to highest price:
Lunistice - £3,49 (free demo!) - Looks like a neat 3D platformer with an artstyle that drew me in instantly and has great reviews. Looks like some kind of alternate universe 3D sonic for the PS2.
Chicory: A Colorful Tale - £8,37 - I gifted this game to a younger sibling of mine a few years ago and they loved it a lot. I've been wanting to play it since then to connect to them a bit more (we don't get to interact much in any meaningful way due to transphobic parents) and it seems perfect for the deck.
It Takes Two - £12,24 - Finished this game before with my partner through a pirated windows copy. We had a blast & knew we would want to replay it someday because it switches through gameplay mechanics so many times, plus if we play as the other character, it'll actually be all fresh gameplay. The story sucks and the hetero bickering of the two main characters is a lot to take, but the gameplay carries this thing & thankfully the cutscenes are skippable.
Tchia - £12,49 - I finished playing Alba: A Wildlife Adventure recently, loved it a lot and this seemed like a great follow up for me to play. And it's set in New Caledonia, which makes it extra exciting! Really keen to dig into this one.
Tetris Effect: Connected - £15,49 - The price on this one really stung, but I've been following it for ages and haven't seen it discounted any lower sadly. I've played a whole bunch of it previously through a pirated windows copy and it quickly became one of my favourite games. I've been playing Lumines: Remastered a lot to try to satisfy my Tetris Effect craving, and even though I was having a good time, it wasn't quite hitting the same spot, so I'm excited to be able to get into the tetris zone again.
