Red counters on notifications are specificially designed by social media "engagement experts" to be anxiety-inducing.

We need a color which is like "you have a notification, but don't worry about it, you can see it when you feel like it".

I like how #Pinafore did it. In fact, there's a lot to learn from Pinafore on ethical design.

Ethical tech should let people use it with intentionality and purpose unlike the manipulative tactics of surveillance capitalist tech.

THE VANTABUS IS COMING

Honestly video games are better than sex and I fucking hate video games

cops are a bunch of cops

Hey guys, super shitty news. You may remember me talking about the Birmingham Free Store, an awesome radical #queer space that provides #MutualAid in my hometown by collecting and giving away various things donated by folks in Bham

The landlord for the building has been working on the roof lately, and didn't properly secure the tarp before rain came last night. The store is now flooded, with much of what was inside - including the entire library section - destroyed beyond repair

They really need help right now, however you can. For cash donations, their patreon and venmo are both @bhamfreestore, and if you want to mail books or anything else their address is 3114 27th St N, Birmingham, AL 35207

Please boost this, and copy to other media if you'd like. This is an incredible space and it deserves our help!

So when @SpankyWorks pitched to me that Doom Patrol features a sentient genderqueer teleporting street, I was a bit skeptical and worried that it would be some kind of bad joke or otherwise disappointing.

Nope. Danny The Street is amazing and brilliant and I want to be their friend!

God I love this show.

Ace people are queer and fuck y'all who say they can't be!

In the original Nintendo 64 version of Paper Mario, the ground in Star Haven has a rainbow effect that recolors the ground based on distance from the camera (top). This effect is hardware-specific and absent from the Wii and Wii U Virtual Console versions of the game (bottom). https://t.co/6h9kVmkmjD
