Hi everyone, just letting you know I have a gamedev-centric alt on @lampfairy <3 Hoping to use that environment to help me focus on development stuff, so I'll post my progress and boost useful development insight there. Give me a follow if you're interested! <3
My streamer friend Jojo made a chibi of me! It came out really cute c:

Hey everyone, want to borrow ebooks from archive.org on YOUR terms?
Here's a method I came up with using Calibre, on all platforms where it's supported.
1. Install the DeACSM and DeDRM plugins into Calibre
2. In the plugin preferences, configure DeACSM and set up anonymous authorization, then export the encryption key and import it into DeDRM's ADE keys
3. Restart Calibre! This is important!
4. On archive.org, find the book you want to borrow and loan it out
5a. If you can borrow it for two weeks, do that and download it in the format you prefer
5b. If you can only borrow it for an hour or it doesn't give you a download, borrow it anyway, then copy the identifier in the metadata, add it to the following URL: https://archive.org/services/loans/loan/?action=media_url&identifier=<IDENTIFIER GOES HERE>&format=pdf&redirect=1 and download that (you can also change the format to epub or similar but it may not always be available)
6. Add the ACSM file to Calibre and it'll download it and then decrypt it for you
7. Be sure to return the book so other people can use it right away!
Happy reading!
Housing needed for my trans roommate, please boost
Hi, my roommate really needs a better space than the living room of our apartment, she's applying for disability and struggles with jobs. Anyone around the Wisconsin area who might be able to help we would love to hear from you, thank you!
Here's a little compilation of clips for Memora Wanderer. It's a cute nostalgic RPG I'm working on in Godot 😊

A priest, a pastor, and a rabbit entered a clinic to donate blood.
The nurse asked the rabbit "what's your blood type?"
"I'm probably a type O", said the rabbit.
The high deficit this month and our current monthly recurring expenses means I have put Ten Forward in fundraising mode.
This means that signups are closed and any new signups require a minimum one year commitment to our Tier 1 subscription.
I will leave Ten Forward in this mode until we either have a much lower deficit or we do not have a deficit at all.
Existing Ten Forward members have already been quite generous so right now I ask for contributions from the wider fediverse as well.
If you have ever felt the positive impact of Ten Forward on your fediverse experience, I ask that you consider contributing with one of the links below.

Thank you.
[ boosts are of course welcome and encouraged. ]

PSA that Gumroad will start taking 30% cut from the artists if their product was found on "search" and "discover" page this start in 2025.
https://bsky.app/profile/charon.monster/post/3ld3edykb2k2btipsy actual asking for £2 support to test her studio - it's kinda cringe
Omg. people. Is there anyone here who would like to test signup to my studio? Like, if you've been meaning to anywway but you've been waiting - it's £2 a month
... I ask because I think it's working
but I don't trust that it does, because the person who got through successfully was already a previous member, so I don't trust that anyone totally new can sign up
Um, *gestures at link below*
Damage/robbing of queer bookshop
My local indie queer bookshop has been bricked and robbed just before Christmas - Please if you are thinking of buying any books/graphic novels in the UK to have posted - buy from them:

They also have a Pay it forward section if you'd like to donate either £3, £5 or £10 to them:

(This is the same place where I went to the Banned Books talk earlier)
We have to protect our local queer spaces
My friend is part of a local parents email list and someone sent an email to that list mentioning he blogs about working on a video game. my friend checked it out.
This guy is making a 3d video game only using photographs of extremely detailed scale model dioramas he is building by hand.. He calls this... "the real engine". And it's inspired partly by Myst.
It's both awe-some and a head-scratcher for me. But it looks great.
