i don’t wanna be a killjoy but if you’re playing pokemon arceus please take the time to learn about the ainu people, their ongoing struggle to keep their culture alive, and the colonisation of hokkaido (the area the sinnoh region is based on)

the game itself has a good bit of colonialist themes and indigenous erasure, which means it’s up to fans to educate themselves and be mindful of what things they internalise. this isn’t a call out or guilt trip, i’m just asking people to be aware of the context behind the media they consume.

additionally, consider boosting ainu voices (especially about the game itself), donating to ainu individuals, and spreading awareness on the subject as allies.

yet another horrifying story about disability tech companies taking the money of disabled people and then abandoning them. this one is about $150,000 eye implants. company went bankrupt, many patients are now without vision again and unable to remove the implants without risking their health, but having the implants in is also extremely dangerous and makes it impossible to get life saving MRIs. the company responsible did not even think to contact its patients when it was going out of business and ending support. people have devices in their brain that now do nothing except potentially kill them. there is nobody who offers replacement parts for these devices, any maintenance, and people are having their implants break without any support to fix or remove them.

fuck these companies. fuck this shit. it keeps happening. these fucking companies make products for disabled people, offer them hope, take their money, then bail. even if bailing can fucking kill people and if they used up all their money

this is why tech startups cannot replace healthcare overhauls, better benefits, more funding, and more studies. expensive, temporary technology is not the answer to accessibility. it is not feasible and it is not safe.

there is zero accountability and shit like this is always happening.

@NintendoAmerica: As of late March 2023, it will no longer be possible to make Nintendo eShop purchases for the Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.

Hack your 3DS. Hack your Wii U. It's easy and fun, and you will gain access to so much shit, you will not lose access to one of the largest generational game libraries, you can access even older games.

It is always morally correct to pirate Nintendo games. Fuck them.

Ummm byee

i'm kinda scared and not very politically inclined, do you think the united states is going to get bombed by russia?

There is a 0% chance that this will happen, and to be honest with you I find it hard to have sympathy for Americans feeling nervous about all of this. People in the US are the most protected-from-consequences people on the planet. There won’t be a draft and we will not be the victims, Ukrainians will. No one is invading your local McDonalds

FAKE TRANS DOCUMENTARY/ORGANIZATION: Here’s the ridiculous story about how extreme the far-right is willing to go to dehumanize trans people. I was nearly tricked into doing an elaborate anti-trans documentary by Matt Walsh’s film crew this month. It started with an email from the “Gender Unity Project” a couple weeks ago. They claimed they were doing a film on the trans community and gave me names of well-known trans individuals and surgeons they had interviewed. It all seemed normal at first. I even talked to the producer (Makenna Lynn Waters) on the phone beforehand. She sounded like a well-meaning cis film graduate who was just curious about the trans community.

When we chatted, she claimed the documentary was self-funded. I was suspicious because she had finished college recently, but figured she was just rich (who has that kind of money?). Later, she told me the individual they were interviewing in Chicago had suddenly canceled (this happens, but is still sus). Then she offered to fly me to Nashville: where Matt Walsh lives. They finally sent me a release form this morning, which strangely didn’t have the name of the company on it. So, I looked up the Gender Unity Project. It used a registered agent to shield the company owners. It’s dubious but sometimes registered agents simply make it easier to incorporate. Then I looked Makenna Lynn up. Her name didn’t show up anywhere.

After some heavy Google searching, I realized she used her middle name as her last in our emails. I found the IMDB page of her real name (Makenna Waters). It turns out she’s a producer for the Matt Walsh show! That’s not a red flag: that’s a gun to your face. If you’re not familiar, Matt Walsh is a white supremacist who makes a living denying the basic humanity of trans people. She wasn’t just a producer for his show: she worked on over 200 episodes of it! I finally found her Twitter, which features videos of Walsh berating protesters and Ben Shapiro doing his usual BS.

I decided to look closer into the “Gender Unity Project.” After searching its state registration number, I learned it was registered to Justin Folk, a white supremacist documentarian who works for Matt Walsh and Prager U. His initials (jrkfolk) were also listed in the release I thankfully refused to sign. So, if you’re contacted by these slimy assholes, don’t respond. The last thing we need right now is another “gotcha” anti-trans documentary! Stay alert and take any media personalities with a grain of salt.

And they say we’re the ones tricking people?
