USA people! Buy NOTHING Feb 28 2025. Not anything. 24 hours. No spending. Buy the day before or after but nothing. NOTHING. February 28 2025. Not gas. Not milk. Not something on a gaming app. Not a penny spent. (Only option in a crisis is local small mom and pop. Nothing. Else.) Promise me. Commit. 1 day. 1 day to scare the shit out of them that they don't get to follow the bullshit executive orders. They don't get to be cowards. If they do, it costs. It costs.

Then, if you can join me for Phase 2. March 7 2025 thtough March 14 2025? No Amazon. None. 1 week. No orders. Not a single item. Not one ebook. Nothing. 1 week. Just 1.

If you live outside the USA boycott US products on February 28 2025 and stand in solidarity with us and also join us for the week of no Amazon.

Are you with me?

Spread the word.

For context, there is a blackout on February 28 to protest against de DEI roll back

If you are trans: do not apply for asylum in Canada YET.

The appropriate changes are in the works, but not official yet. You will most likely be denied.

If you are denied for asylum once, you can not reapply. EVER.

Things could change quickly, so you need to keep that option open. Now is the time to prepare, not act. Unless you are in immediately, and direct danger right now (not pending a court case, not that the social climate for our community is bad, immediate danger to you as an individual), you need to wait until something changes, sadly.

150 million Americans don't have a passport.

If this law passes, people like my spouse and I would not be able to vote.

I have some work that's getting close to being done in my queue, so I'm looking to take just 1 commission for later this month. Thanks for your consideration!

The US government is suing Adobe for allegedly hiding expensive fees and making it difficult to cancel a subscription. In the complaint filed on Monday, the Department of Justice claims Adobe “has harmed consumers by enrolling them in its default, most lucrative subscription plan without clearly disclosing important plan terms.” The lawsuit alleges Adobe “hides” the terms of its annual, paid monthly plan in the “fine print and behind optional textboxes and hyperlinks.” In doing so, the company fails to properly disclose the early termination fee incurred upon cancellation “that can amount to hundreds of dollars,” the complaint says.

US sues Adobe for “deceiving” subscriptions that are too hard to cancel

The DOJ accuses Adobe of trapping users in subscriptions.

game companies should be fucking EMBARRASSED about being inaccessible. it should be mortifying to ship a game with shit captions or no UI scaling options or no option to disable flashing / strobing effects. games lauding their character customization should be laughingstocks for not including hearing aids or congenital disorders or prosthetic limbs. EA should be publicly fucking humiliated for the sims series being 23 goddamn years old and include cats and dogs and horses and werewolves and zombies and mermaids and star wars and not FUCKING WHEELCHAIRS.

[androdragynous]

visual novel games should be screen reader compatible and controls should be fully re-mappable by fucking default also.

Can I Play That? does reviews of accessibility in games btw. even if you do not need accessibility features personally I think it's important to familiarize yourself with the range of options that are or aren't commonly available + reflect on who is being left out of gaming communities and development because of it

Can I Play That?

Can I Play That provides accessibility focused game reviews and news. For Disabled Gamers, By Disabled Gamers.

and also personally blowing a kiss to every modder who has put in the time and effort that devs chose not to in order to represent and include disabled people. I love you

I'm probably swinging at a hornets' nest with this one but I'm quite tired of the number of posts I've seen that are like "have you considered that using tone indicators is ableist because neurodivergent people are all too stupid and dumb to learn acronyms? I have the enlightened progressive take btw"

[phantomrose96]

Same blogger freely uses "btw", "wth", "fr" and would clutch all the pearls in their drawer if someone called those acronyms ableist.

[phantomrose96]

Look I'm also in my mid-20s and also don't know what half the tone indicators mean because I'm not Hip with the Youth. Can we all just accept that instead of making a Principal Skinner No It's The Kids Who Are Wrong post about it every two weeks? Do we not remember the mid 2000s when everyone in our parents' generation was frothingly angry with us for texting "lol ttyl"? It's okay if a 17-year-old needs to teach us what "/nm" means. It'll be okay.
