Queer indie dev. Kinda feral.

I co-run a video game cooperative called Studio Terranova with @mabbees.

Hey you! Yeah, you with the eggbug!

Have you ever wanted to go on a rant on cohost but thought, “I want to not only alert people I’m going on a rabbithole rant but also look SUPER COOL while doing it????”

Look no further than the soapbox.

Now you can rant in style. :eggbug-wink:

Example below:

I get so annoyed when conversations around universal basic income come back to, "if no one had the incentives, what kinds of jobs would people do?" I can think of so many jobs that people are doing right now that don't give them housing security and yet, they still do them.

What about being an indie dev? Or a furry artist? Or a reforestation biologist? All of these jobs have people who, at the top who might be paying rent, but most of us, we're doing it because we want to. We have to, sometimes. There's something in us that cannot live if we do not do these things.

Humans have all kinds of incentives that aren't monetary. Imagine what a beautiful, creative, passionate world we could be if we had stable housing, universal income, and killed the myth people's primary motivator was money.
