I just signed a letter of solidarity for Lela, who is 15 weeks pregnant in Poland. She’s vomiting blood, can’t eat, her life is at risk and she can’t get a needed abortion because of the ban. Politicians must act and save her life. Sign now: app.sosha.ai/s/RNAWjOoP
Dear men, we need you in this fight.
Please, sign and share the petition: sign.myvoice-mychoice.org/forms/europe...
Sign the petition to convince the European Commission to change their mind on My Voice, My Choice. Unofficial info says the draft response has a negative attitude. Decision Feb 26. Still time to change their mind. Sign & share. app.sosha.ai/s/vEpeYoIu
“I’ve seen this brought up in a few pro-harassment discussions… that toxicity is a free speech issue, where they have a right to be… this… And if you don’t like it then you are not cut out for gaming.
I think it’s interesting because it’s not so much about the reality of the situation anymore.”
We need a YES ‼️ ONLY 4 DAYS LEFT ‼️
Please, sign the petition here: sign.myvoice-mychoice.org/forms/europe...
Amazing news!!! 😍😍 Ministers from Austria, Estonia, Finland, France, Luxembourg, Poland, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden have sent a letter to the Commission to urge them to accept our initiative for safe abortion.
Now, Ursula von der Leyen has no more excuses!

a screenshot of a long winding brutalist staircase. there is a poem written on the wall. light comes through the windows. paint splats are on the stairs.
a screenshot of a tree that looks like a human bowing. the tree is large and covered in dandelion whisps. there is a poem at the base of the screen.
a screenshot looking up at old brutalist buildings. the buildings are abandoned.
a screenshot of a desert filled with dead trees. the dead trees almost look human. there is a poem at the base of the screen.
🌼My new game is here!🥀
"She danced in the wind like a holographic dream before the world died."

A game poem and interactive fiction about The End.
You play the very last flower left on Earth, bringing peace to long dead soil.
#IndieGame #VideoGame #GamePoem #Game
just gonna add that…
i hope you all enjoy it. i put ALL of myself in this.
while i made it, it was just me art-venting about what i survived… but now it’s relevant with all the discussions about abuse, predators, and power going on.

Post on Twitter from Mike Chambers at Adobe: "Original plan was to discontinue Animate, and it would stop working after a certain date. What changed is we 1) are not discontinuing Animate, 2) it will continue to be available to install and use for new and existing users, and 3) if we do ever discontinue it, we will ensure you can still access your content."
Artists and animators did this, congrats. I still would absolutely never trust Adobe as a company, but this is a win nonetheless.
i should add the link…

the Animate EOL has now been changed to a maintenance mode announcement, after Adobe said it would terminate access to Animate.
lol after all this i feel like we’re owed more than a quiet change in plans.
four hours ago… someone created a petition to save Animate. going to do my part by sharing it here because literally any outcry or backlash helps www.change.org/p/save-adobe...
adobe Animate EOL email
Adobe is evil.
I use Animate to build AIR apps. nothing else does this. so now there’s no way for me to access my OWN WORK after they pull the plug?
this should be illegal.
respectfully, "why don't you use adobe alternative" is the equivalent of "why don't you just move"
artists know they have options, take a pause and ask if you're the one who isn't understanding the industry-wide infrastructure and the investment it takes to familiarize yourself with new programs

steam review
access denied
for the life of me… how is:
“cringe game. made by a liar…” and bringing up my r*pist an acceptable review for a game that a moderator cleared??
i tried to flag it again but it won’t let me.
steam reviews that are personal attacks, and not at all about the game, are ok? how?
