Hey there gorgeous~

I can't wait for the day someone writes a Dune opera, takes a Pic of the audience, then says "huh, turns out we do care about the opera. Someone tell Timothee Chalemet?" And then just straight up @'s him on there.

Dammit Tim, how could you!?

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

KIDS Act Passes Energy and Commerce along Partisan Lines, COPPA 2.0 Postponed Additional bills on kids online safety and cybersecurity passed with bipartisan support

The package of censorship and surveillance bills brought up in todays markup has been advanced

Continue to contact your representatives and demand this legislation be opposed. Tell your family and friends, explain how these bills are not what they appear, and ask them to join us in opposition!

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

The AI voice acting *wasn't* the only problematic thing about this game!?

Jesus...

Hey everyone! So, this is going to be a bit of a strange announcement, but as of Sunday I will no longer be a Massachusetts resident. I know this will come as a shock to most of you (some of you I’m close to will have heard me talk about this already for months on end), but, well… To make a very long story short, the family is basically dragging me back to Florida, and I don’t have the tools to fight it financially. I’ve mentioned this to several of my friends in the fandom as to why, but what I will tell you is I am not 100% on board with this move. If you’ve been wondering why I’ve been seeming destabilized for the past several months, well, this is the main reason why. I guess we’ll see what Florida brings: if you all must know, my family is dragging me to the Orlando area, where my sister lives. So if you know anyone there, I’m all ears, because I basically know like five, maybe six people (plus a seventh, if you count people I genuinely don’t want to converse with, ever) there. In the meantime, I wanted to let every one of my friends in the Boston and general New England area know that the last eight years have, despite some rocky times, have been absolutely wonderful years, and I’m going to miss basically everyone I got to know in my time in New England. Shout-outs to the New England pup and leather communities in particular: you have fostered some wonderful memories, and I won’t soon forget your hospitality or your kindness to me. Here’s hoping next time I see you isn’t a while away.

Announcement on my living situation. I hope this explains to all of you why I have been constantly depressed of late:

YES.

I SAW THE TEXT MESSAGES.

YES IT IS.

OK, I was expecting horror elements in Echo to be exclusively supernatural.

I wasn't expecting fucking... literally *anything* about Brian WTF IS UP WITH BRIAN HOLY FUCKING SHIT

I chose to look at his text messages.

GUYS. ARE Y'ALL OK!?

Anti-Trans Democrats Blown Out In North Carolina Primary Election Anti-trans Democrat Nasif Majeed lost to Veleria Levy, who ran on a pro-LGBTQ+ platform. Other conservative Democrats lost as well on primary day.

1. In yesterday's primary elections, anti-transgender Democrats found out the hard way why you don't throw transgender people under the bus.

Two anti-trans dems lost their primaries, including one that cast the deciding veto override vote, in blowouts.

Also I'm just gonna point that Flynn at the lake basically just does this, but a *hair* less extreme: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTmL...

Well, the recommendation I was given was publication order, so it's what I wrote above, then a detour into Route 65 before concluding with Jenna's route.

My video game branching path senses tell me the branching point happens when Flynn goes Last Midnight on everyone else in the cast at the lake.

I was recommended Carl/Leo, Carl/Leo, TJ, and *then* Flynn, so...

a person is holding a red flag in a field . ALT: a person is holding a red flag in a field .

So owing to the fact I'm in the process of starting production on a VN script I wrote, I *finally* got off my ass and started reading Echo. I've started with Leo's route, and uh...

Are y'all OK? 'Cause this boy *clearly* is not holy fucking shit.

There we go, thanks for kicking our just plain ‘too tired to proofread’ ass.

What's in a gender presentation? Well, @hukeng.bsky.social is stopping by this week to offer a nuanced take on how presentation can play into gender play! We get into how they approach sequence building too, and what ghosts loom over anatomy within TF as well!

Just in case it's not cleaqr enough of a concept to anybody out there:

"I don't know" is NOT something you should be hearing from THE PERSON IN CHARGE of a government organisation currently acting like a criminal gang on the streets of your country.

Conventional wisdom is a really fascinating phenomenon. We're at the point where "everyone knows" kids were being rushed into inappropriate gender transition.

There are between zero and 10 recorded cases of this happening (depending on your definition of rushed).

The Supreme Court doesn't care if you want to copyright your AI-generated art The highest court in the US declined to review a case about copyrighting artwork created with the help of AI.

And BOOM goes the dynamite. To all the AI Bros who have slid into my mentions to tell me that you CAN in fact copyright AI materials, the Supreme Court has told you to go suck rocks. A prompt is not authorship. And if there is no author, there is no valid copyright.

I mean, I always knew that US Christian nationalism is, effectively, a death cult, but to hear the quiet part said out loud is hella weird.

...is it wrong that I don't feel like streaming this week?

Because I don't.

HOW DID IT TAKE THAT LONG LMAOOOOO

I generally don't want to be in the business of saying "huh, looks like I was right about that, huh," buuuuuuuuuut...
