Thank you! 💙

Me sitting at a table outside, wearing a back vest and pants, white button down shirt and teal brocade tie. I'm smiling at the camera.

I'm sitting at a table outside, distracted on my phone and smiling. Wearing a black suit, white button down shirt and teal brocade tie.

I am kissing my spouse's cheek. It has bright teal hair and a teal striped tie. My teal tie matches its hair.

Me and my spouse standing under a white wooden arch in front of the ocean. We're both smiling. It is wearing a white button down shirt, teal striped tie, and black pants. I am wearing a black suit, white button down shirt, and teal brocade tie.

I was at pretty location watching some awesome people get married, and got to wear a suit about it.

Hell yeah!

I have a useless talent for being able to identify, by a single frame, any episode of Stranger Things Season 1, and can do the same for most of Star Trek Enterprise.

Wish I could remember which day of the week it is, but this is fine too, I guess.

looks into the camera

Congrats!!! (And wow, those rings are beautiful!)

I feel extremely seen in this image and I accept this.

Okay, FINE, my favorite game of all time is the only one in the 'how the fuck zone,' but to be fair there's other games that belong there, let me just name them all real quick--

Thank you so much Lauren! 💙💙💙

😆 Haha, thank you! 💙

Thank you! 💙

Congratulations! Well deserved! 👏

This past weekend, as hundreds of game workers flew into LA to attend Summer Game Fest, Immigration and Customs Enforcement terrorized the Los Angeles community, raiding neighborhoods, separating families, assaulting citizens, and detaining SEIU President David Huerta. Many of us in the game industry call Los Angeles our home, and we feel these attacks on a deep and personal level. United Videogame Workers-CWA stands in solidarity with SEIU, UNITE HERE, United Farm Workers, SAG-AFTRA, The Animation Guild, IATSE, and all our fellow unions and organizations condemning these ongoing federal raids targeting workers. We are thrilled that David has been released and echo SEIU’s calls to drop his unjust charges and for ICE to immediately end their violent raids against us and our neighbors. The United States is built on the backs of immigrant workers, documented or otherwise, and the Trump administration’s racist and violent oppression serves only to undermine our labor and strike fear in our communities. As workers of an anti-racist union; as workers with H-1B visas; as workers with immigrant families and friends and colleagues; we condemn these abhorrent acts of outright fascism and colonial subjugation. Our game industry is a deeply international one, and our art is built from cultures and perspectives that simply cannot and will not be contained by borders. UVW-CWA exists to protect all game workers across the US and Canada, regardless of immigration status, and we strive to extend that reach to all corners of the globe through connections and shared struggle. When solidarity transcends nations, no human is illegal!

I had one of those really good work days where stuff I did was successful and things went better than expected, but also--

Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales Husband of Jonathan Joss My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done. Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic. When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life. Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future. He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other. I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved. To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family. My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together. If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband. Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built. Tristan Kern de Gonzales

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today.

I'm so angry.

Google Fi has been deliberately letting spam calls through to push their AI bullshit, to, at best, return people the basic level of service that they used to have.

I want to launch all tech companies into the fucking sun.

I've been excited for this for, it turns out, a long time.

Remember when she funded an anti trans bill, then when it passed, posted a picture of herself with wine and cigars and bragged ‘I love it when a plan comes together?’

That is literally where that money for these games go.

Buying her trash, funds anti LGBTQ+ laws.

I don’t know what the answer is, but requiring folks to move to the most expensive places in the country for work, not paying them enough to own homes or save, and then laying them off ain’t it

I don’t care if you hate porn. Please for the love of god don’t get stuck there cognitively.

Anti-porn legislation + how trans and NB people (even cis drag queens/kings) are being consistently described as sexually deviant = the groundwork is being laid for all queer expression to be made illegal.

Welp this is just not the fuckin week to try to drag myself into Boston. I hope everyone going to the various fun things has a tasty beverage for their exhausted bud (me).
