my farming sim game will have animal butchery as a normalized part of the gameplay loop to act as a lightning rod to draw all the discourse and thinkpieces away from topics that would annoy me more

[nemesis-is-my-middle-name]

in my farming sim game that has animal butchery as a normalized part of the gameplay loop, shipped products will be sold on a weekly basis, not a daily one. you get a big windfall once a week and then you budget around that. if you want more money in the interim you have to go sell to the local merchants whatever products they specialize in.

[nemesis-is-my-middle-name]

in my farming sim game, getting married to one of the townspeople will have a significant impact on your gameplay. if you marry the rival farmer, their smaller farm will be merged with yours. if you marry the town alchemist/doctor you get a buff to all your alchemy and you wake up from getting knocked out in your own home instead of their clinic. if you marry the priestess she uh, idk she does weather related divine magic for you so you can choose the weather, idk i haven't thought too hard about that one yet

[nemesis-is-my-middle-name]

these tags are probably a joke but genuinely i do think that more games with romance candidates in general should require you to at least be on friendly terms with their family/close friends before they will romance/marry you. so yes. romancing the MILF will require attending her kid's pretend tea party first. to prove you mean business

maybe im just a hater and i never really engage with true crime content outside of the few times i was forced to in high school but whenever people are like "yeah its just fascinating.... to hear how killers think.... its so interesting to know their thought processes..." and well. 99% of the time its "they realized they had the chance to hurt somebody and took it" and they werent some misunderstood genius it was 1. police incompetence & people not caring about the victims and 2. most serial killers are white guys. and white guys can get away with a hell of a lot

The 2026 Gender Census is now open!

[ survey.gendercensus.com ]

The 13th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th August 2026.

It’s short and easy, for most participants it takes 5 minutes or less.

After the survey is closed I’ll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like we’re part of a huge and diverse community.

If you think you might have friends and followers who’d be interested, please do reblog this blog post, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks. Every share is extremely helpful!

Survey URL: https://survey.gendercensus.com

The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.

Thank you so much!

PS: You can see some regularly-updated statistics about incoming data here, with lots of demography and graphs to peruse!

The world has irrevocably changed 😃

[so-much-for-subtlety]

There’s also already five cases of cops stalking their wives, mistresses, ex-girlfriends, ex-girlfriends new boyfriend etc like this - there no warrant required, no supervision around who or when cops can access these systems.

Police departments don’t even have systems in place for when cops retire or fired to make sure their Flock credentials are revoked. Crazy days.

A trans woman was just sentenced to 15 years in prison for defending herself from an attacker. She wanted no part in the fight and witnesses described her actions as self-defense. With right-wing media constantly portraying her as "evil" since the incident, the trial was over before it began.

Jaia's prison ID number is 3492500039. The state of New York handles commissary money transfers through JPay. Monetary support is crucial for even a 'short' stay in prison, all the more so for trans women who are disproportionately mistreated by corrections officers and other prisoners, and frequently placed in solitary for their 'own safety'.

JPay offers convenient & affordable correctional services, including money transfer, email, videos, tablets, music, education & parole and p

Other's tags, but I'd like to highlight the fact you can no longer just *find* an article that's giving the actual testimony anymore.

Information like this is being actively scrubbed from the internet (specifically google, facebook, and most major news article sites in terms of verified examples), and we should all be highly aware of that fact.

Activist charged with felony after giving border agent "duress code" that wiped his phone

The government says destroying his own data during an airport interrogation was illegal.

A few things of note:

This is why people to your left have been chiding you about the "pedo" panic: now, the government can accuse you of being a "pedo" to justify committing crimes against you.

This is why people to your left have been chiding you about the "terrorist" moniker: for the last half century, the government can accuse you of being a "terrorist" to justify committing crimes against you.

[the-implications-are-fascinating]

The American government is claiming, simultaneously, that they had the right to search the phone because it was a routine search (ie, they searched without evidence of wrongdoing), and that saying that password was destruction of evidence because the phone contained evidence (ie, they searched due to evidence of wrongdoing).

While this is technically a legal argument to make, it seems very unlikely to lead to a conviction because it's hard to prove to a jury beyond reasonable doubt that the government both does and does not have evidence of wrongdoing.

[40ouncesandamule]

You may beat the case, but you can't beat the ride.

The purpose of this lawfare isn't to get a conviction; the purpose is to make his activism more difficult. They arrest him and hold him and charge him and release him and slowly grind him down. He's currently out on bond. If they arrest him again for another bullshit charge, they can revoke his bond for the first bullshit charge.

All of this cost tens of thousands of dollars, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars.

They don't care about getting a conviction. They care about making his life and his activism as difficult as possible in hopes that the future he is fighting for does not come to pass.

[headedoutleft]

also, and this is important from a legal perspective, if they don’t drop the charges ultimately and it does go to court and they do get a conviction, they’ve just set legal precedent that allows them to continue doing this to anyone. per the article, this is the first example of law enforcement using that particular law to press charges related to destruction of data on a phone, but if they succeed in making the argument then that makes it much harder for the next person to defend themselves because prosecutors can point back to this case and the fact that the court upheld the argument.

it will then require supreme court appeals and legal revision to change that, or legislative action to ban this type of behavior on the part of law enforcement. which is not likely to happen with the current court appointments and political environment.

so either way they harass activists and discourage anti-law enforcement action, and in the best case (for them) they get to mold the law to their benefit.
