I want to see more non-binary defense coming from cis friends. Please speak the fuck out, please defend us, please speak up when being made fun of in the media is the norm. I’m tired of being othered and afraid to show my identity. I want us to share a word. Cis man, cis woman, if you are a true ally, please speak up

A while back someone posted a thread about how it super isn't cool that non-Jewish creatives constantly use The Golem, protector of the Jewish people, as a fantasy monster or robot stand-in. Since then I've been thinking about other ancient robot stories which people could use as inspiration for their stories, games, etc.

In this thread I'm going to give a brief overview of a handful of ancient robots. These stories all have different interpretations and retellings, but these are my takes.

I’m writing an article on the subject, but as a blind guy, I’m getting really really tired of people speaking for me. If you do accessibility or UX and really want to know what I want, or “need”, or what works best for me, then ask me.

CW your emoji posts like these please! They’re hell for screen readers. Not only do they take age to finish reading out, they also are completely meaningless if not visualized.

My 15yo kid just came out to me tonight as trans male. In order to be more supportive, I would really like some feedback from other trans folks on how to assist or better understand this process, especially on how that works today vs 30 years ago.

Caveat- I had a parent who is trans, but this isn't the same kind of relationship. I would actually be assisting my minor child in this change, so that makes me a more active participant in the process.

Feel free to boost. #trans

My shop-drop picture this (half-)week is not very well coordinated. (I mean, they never really are, but usually I don't have so many of one color that it looks like it *should* be but doesn't quite make it.)

I do have a mailing list that announces the shop drops, if you're following me here for them and are tired of my work-in-progress jibba-jabba: https://shop.silverseams.com/

This is the sweetest little love story posted over on Twitter.

It's not captioned (cause, you know, birdsite), I'm sorry for any visually impaired users who follow me. I generally don't boost things without them being captioned or me captioning them.

Solidarity in your queer siblings is the most important thing. Sometimes your cis friends can feel like the best thing you’ve ever had. But when it comes to them treating other queer people like shit, to do nothing, and enable them, is enabling queerphobia. Queerphobes can like you if you’re a respectable queer. If you’re not weird enough to cross the line. But when you betray your siblings for the comfort of cisheteronormativity, you’re putting yourself in danger, because the minute you cross that respectability line, you’re done for. It’s toxic. Those people are toxic. They’re not not toxic just because you like them and because they’re nice to you.

Before Adventure Time: Distant Lands was officially announced, folx working on it weren’t supposed to hang any Adventure Time artwork around the studio. This concept art is based on a fake show called "Rumble Jaw", faux concept art of it was hung around the studio instead!

This piece was commissioned by Adam Muto ^_^

Gonna run a couple more snap trays and/or notebook covers, and start putting all this in the shop this afternoon.

Any acting tips for portraying a character more outgoing then you are?
