Happy New Year from the US East Coast! πŸ₯³ 2025 was a hell of a year, but power to us all for getting through it. And may we cherish the memories of those who we've lost. I know things are, in many ways, looking bleak right now. But seeing the resilience and relentless hope of so many of you gives me hope myself, that a better world is still possible, if we keep actively working towards it. Until then, we still have each other. Hang in there ✊ #NewYear #HappyNewYear #hope #solidarity

"With an estimated 250 million gamers worldwide identifying as visually impaired, accessibility is both a major commercial opportunity and an essential industry priority."
Video games: Visually-impaired players call for better inclusion
A group made up of blind and partially sighted people say more needs to be done to make them feel included in gaming.

"In 1958 [Daphne Oram, "visionary pioneer in electronic music"] co-founded the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, a studio set up to create sound effects and electronic scores for radio and TV. On the wall she pinned a passage from Francis Bacon’s 17th-century utopia New Atlantis about imaginary sound-houses where scientists manipulate echoes, invent new instruments and transmit sound β€œin strange lines and distances”."

It's my birthday today! Hard to feel very celebratory with everything that's going on in the world, but it would make my day knowing that people are still finding the strength to be kind to others, as well as to themselves. And hey, if you have some spare cash, here are some of the causes and organizations I care about:

Zines are cool, and @404 Media is making one about the surveillance technologies used by ICE. "It will be 16 pages and printed on a risograph printer by a printshop in Los Angeles. It contains both reworked versions of our best reporting on ICE and some new articles for the zine. It will be available at the beginning of January."
