This is what I've been up to lately!

[Something We Love @somethingwelove]

Hello world! We’re a brand new worker-owned cooperative game studio working on small non-violent games!

[Something We Love @somethingwelove]

Our friends (and fellow worker co-op) @cooplucidtales have just launched their kickstarter for their cozy, Ghibli inspired community sim, Sally! Go check it out!

@bombsfall It took me a while to figure out why there's foam all over the bike. It's so they can retrieve it after the stunt into the water. You know, in case the portal doesn't work.

Tomorrow, an incredibly rare, once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event is happening! Jupiter will be its closest to Earth since 1963! Along with opposition, it’ll be SO bright, you’ll be able to see its bands and some moons just with binoculars!
This won’t happen again until 2129!

[Winnipeg Police Cause Harm @WpgPoliceHarm]

Truly vile + stigmatizing language weaponized against unhoused people by @WinnipegNews.

And this proposal by @ShawnNason is absolutely ghastly as well.

If you want people to stop living in bus shelters, provide high quality public housing already.

[KO_OP: 🪐 Wishlist Young Suns on Steam! @KOOPMode]

It's KO_OP's ten year anniversary today!!!! 👏🏼💖 Really, really special milestone for us as a worker-owned studio 🥺 We'll have some cute content to celebrate this week but because today is a stat holiday, we'll be celebrating by not working 😎

[Sourceress Addis 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 @itsaddis]

I've been in the industry a long time, in a very low-key kind of way. I think it's a Winnipeg thing. I'm proud of @ChaosGate but this was an unexpected (though welcome) thing to wake up to.

[Maximillian Alvarez @maximillian_alv]

Remember when 6 workers died at an Amazon warehouse in Illinois because they were told to keep working during a tornado and the building collapsed on them? Apparently Amazon’s only punishment for this crime is a sternly worded letter from OSHA. https://t.co/qDv9erHbRI

@Lolcodybond When my backpack starts yelling, it's usually food-related.

[Brendan Campbell @cambrendan]

I've already mostly disappeared from Twitter, but if folks are doing the mastodon thing, I'm already more active out there. DM me if you want to connect.

@vinn_ayy

[Weird Ghosts & Baby Ghosts @weird_ghosts]

Then we have @somethingwelove, a Winnipeg-based company founded by Ibrahim Shahin and Brendan Campbell. SWL is the first ever recipient of the Baby Ghost grant for new studios.

They are a coop studio that focuses on making non-violent narrative and whimsical games.

@Seemo Beautiful heart-snake. I guess you'll just have to keep your legs shaved now, so snake-buddy here can show off.
