To a homophobe, even the most chaste kiss on the cheek between gay people is exactly as disgusting and degenerate as a hardcore BDSM orgy hosted in the town square, so you may as well ally with the BDSM orgy enthusiasts to throw bricks at the cops who are going to try and arrest all of you together anyway.

I once held hands with my husband at an event where my wife was also present, and a concerned parent lectured me about how she didn't want us to "influence" her son. Our icky gay polyam hand holding was such a threat to this woman that she made a point to corner me away from my partners and get me on my own to lecture me about being "indecent." If she had been inclined toward violence, I would have been fucked.

Hand holding. That's all it fucking took.

So catch me at Pride in a leather harness and holding a bat, because if hand holding is all it takes, we owe it to each other to stand together.

We're here. We're queer. Get fucking used to it.

For the content creators out there who want to use the strike as an career opportunity, I’d reconsider after watching this


Franchesca Ramsey is a member of both the WGA and SAG and took time to address some misinformation going around by certain content creators who promote film and tv projects. The one in this video being StrawHatGoofy. The gist of the video is that unless you are already contractually obligated to fulfill a promotion for a struck company. Unless you have plans to eventually join SAG or the WGA it would be ill advised to take future work during the strike. I thought I’d put this out there in case anyone here or anyone you know is contacted by one of these companies because no amount of fame or money is worth being a scab. Respect the writers and actors and just say no.

Again: Piracy (ie. ROMs) is preservation. Piracy is archives. Piracy is art-affirming in a world which devalues and abandons art.https://t.co/4H2SbzpSaM  — Srsly Wrong Podcast (@SrslyWrong) July 14, 2023ALT

I'm just gonna slide this on in here for anyone that is interested in preserving old games. They take it very seriously too, they want an archive of every single game. Like, they have lists of every game ever released for a system, and once that system gets old enough, they add it to their archive and start collecting. Their latest addition was the Xbox 360, they opened that vault up in September 2022, and proudly announced they'd finished their collection of games for it back in April.

Also, while their game archives are almost entirely complete, they've got another project of archiving the manuals that came with those games, and that is... considerably less well filled out. Their collection of Xbox 360 manuals is especially rough, they've only gotten manuals for three games. So if you've got some Xbox 360 games kicking around, and the manual's still with them, please consider scanning them and submitting them to the site!

Game preservation is important, but people rarely consider preserving the manuals as well; I really respect Vimm's Lair for being so thorough in their archival work.

Even if you’re not into videogames, this shit is important. Video games, end of the day, are an artform. From programming, to graphic design, to special effects, to storytelling; they’re art. A lot of videogames from pre2010 were passion projects for the team with blood sweat and tears woven into them. We can’t afford to lose that.

Even keeping the memory alive using HD remakes is still viable because it requires developers to reflect on the original copies for accuracy. Sonic Generations was 90% homage to previous and most popular titles. Most notably, the Team got a chance to do Perfect Chaos the justice it did get the first time around
