So I've recently played through Life is Strange. Wow... What an experience. Funny thing is, I got it in 2016, played thru the first episode and ditched it. I've always been a very fast paced gamer and very addicted to instant gratification, which you definitely do not get with LiS.
In the wake of the supreme court ruling, I attended 2 protests in one week against it. They were 2 very different protests, and having spoken to a few other trans folk across the country about this, our experiences have varied a lot. It made me think a lot about the purpose of protest and how important it is to cultivate the right vibe, and to not let them get captured by the "well ackshully" brigade.
Over the years there's been a major shift in how the internet works. More and more, big platforms like Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook (to a lesser extent now) and Instagram (to name a few) have become the primary way we share, create and connect with each other. In decades gone by, we still had big platforms (think MySpace or Friendster), but they existed more alongside the federated internet: blogs and personal websites.
I share my thinkymeat's thoughts here 🧠.
