While going through some DSLR photos I took and never edited, I found this gem. I can't stop looking at it.

I like the mirror design of the vertical one!

I'm so excited to speak at GDC with these amazing folks!! Come learn stuff with us!

If someone sees your genuine passion as unrealistic or fake, that's more about their perception of joy than anything to do with you. If you're proud of something, love a project you're working on or a skill you're learning, it's okay to express that. Don't let someone dim your light or yuck your yum

Take a look at how we built the cardboard city by hand.

Lots of folks talking about Malinin's backflip at the Winter Olympics but I just think it's neat that his costume and music are from Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

Spending Friday afternoon playtesting through Master's Enigma. 🤭

I have so many feelings. SO MANY. #swtor

I hope so too! It is wild that their sense of reality is so strongly tied to smells.

This happened with my cats after a surgery, and they'd been best friends for a decade. Took about a week and a half until the non-surgery cat stopped attacking the other one when he finally smelled "normal".

Call your reps and post a favorite meme, pass it on. 5calls.org

Arco is not a blockbuster, and cannot benefit from a promotional campaign like a Disney movie. So now is the time to share the news so that people know that there is an excellent sci-fi movie currently in US theaters. 🫡
That's also what social networks are for.

A phone script for sending elected representatives a message to refund ICE. Message reads: Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP]. [IF CALLING SENATE]: I’m calling to ask that [REP/SEN NAME] push to defund ICE by opposing any appropriations bill that maintains ICE funding and supporting legislation that claws back the $75 billion ICE slush fund created by H.R. 1 last year. This lawless agency is violently attacking and killing immigrants and citizens around the country and must be defunded and dissolved for good. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Have courage, and be kind.

A 5-Year-Old Disappeared in Austin. A Mom Shot Dead in Minneapolis. How Much More Violence Will It Take to ‘Abolish ICE’? 50% of American women support the abolish ICE movement.

“How do we live alongside a violent, paranoid agency that sees everyday people as a threat, under an administration that will tell us not to believe what we see when they step out of line?” asks contributor @catcardenas.bsky.social
