Hello! I checked my itch.io donations recently and had close to $400 sitting in there which completely blew me away, I can’t thank you guys enough! I decided to round up and split the donations into 2 $200 donations to PBS and NPR. If you weren’t aware, DJT (🍊) recently signed an executive order that called for any federal agencies providing funding to any public broadcasting agencies to immediately cease.
Personally, I grew up watching PBS kids shows via KET and, even now, I rely on NPR and PBS for local and national news since it’s 100% paywall free. While I’m very happy to send my itch donations their way, I really encourage anyone who consumes publicly broadcast content (and those who don’t but still understand what a valuable resource it is!) to consider donating to these networks. For PBS, roughly 10% of their funding comes from the federal government, so while a funding cut won’t shutter them entirely, it will massively impact staffing and program production.
last night i had a dream that a new sims pack was announced and it was based in africa but like. it was tribal hunter/gatherer gameplay (🫥) and at the end of the trailer there was a random white sim befriending animals instead of hunting them (🫥🫥🫥) but it turns out that the ability to befriend animals was its own pack and not included in the one the trailer was for. happy sunday.
