For everyone seeing these accidents and feeling like there's something you're missing and maybe some kind of hidden conflict: it's deregulation. Safety measures have been stripped to nothing at plants and on transport lines by capitalists and workers are being dismissed en masse.

Hazmat teams are monitoring air quality due to the large amount of smoke coming from the burning plastics.
Residents with breathing issues should remain indoors.

On February 3, a horrifying railroad accident took place. A Norfolk Southern freight train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio. You might've seen images of the flames, but you probably haven't heard that unions were trying to prevent this exact accident. 🧵

Excited to publish my article, "I'm Sorry But You can't ALL Be Neurotypical" which explores the harmful trend of people "self identifying" as neurotypical when in fact they're just undiagnosed neurodivergent people being harmed by the pressure to identify as "normal" 😌

a kid was talking my ear off until another student went "wait, stop, she's overstimulated, give her space"
the first kid said "oh no Ms. Redacted, are you overstimulated?"
and the other kid said "yes, you can tell cause her eye is twitching"
reader, I was indeed overstimulated

"People with disabilities would've been left to die in the stone age!"
Except there's archeological evidence from the neolithic period of humans being cared for well after they were disabled, so the idea of leaving a disabled person behind is a bit of a modern idea 🧵 1/

“Why aren’t people making the kind of old-world classical sculptures and oil painting I like anymore?” I dunno dude why aren’t you providing an artist with a full time salary and residence on your property so they can focus on nothing but making one painting for three years.

"is it ethical to steal bread to feed your starving family?"
And not:

the myth of solo dev is bad enough, but ConcernedApe has repeatedly pointed out that his partner supported him for years.
How do you credit a romantic relationship, though? Special thanks? Moral support? It's a thousand tiny things but none of them are technically "game dev"

Eric Barone has made $300M+ (yes, that's not a typo) in revenue in 6 years with 0 employees.
He developed a game that has sold 20M copies to date.
At this rate, he can easily become the first one-person founder to do 1B+ in sales.
Here's how he did it:

Hey #screenshotsaturday, check out our game How To Say Goodbye on Steam, iOS, Android or Switch!
The release kinda flew under the radar with all the big AAA games that came out last month, but we’re glad to hear that people who played it have enjoyed it 🥹♥️

This image was not generated by AI.
It's a 450 year old painting called The Librarian, by the wildly inventive artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo.
And his other paintings only get stranger...

Is saying girls/women are better at masking a bit like saying we’re better at homemaking/caregiving? I suspect we’re ‘good’ at these things because we have no choice? Masking happens when a person isn’t safe. It’s not a choice.
