Fourteen Thousand.

The long campaign to dehumanize Palestinians is, fundamentally, about this. To provide cover for the annihilation of a people and their culture, from the youngest to the oldest, to shrugs from the most powerful nations in the world.

Woke up in a lovely bed and breakfast today on a lovely vacation to find out a place I've loved to work for just over a decade has been dismembered in minutes.

Just wanted to join the chorus to say that I've been let go from Vox Media on May Day, along with a great team doing great stuff.

By now you've probably heard the news: Polygon has been sold to Valnet and I, along with most of my wonderful colleagues, have been laid off.

That said, I'm now open to new opportunities! If you've enjoyed my work and would like to work together in any capacity, please feel to hit me up via my DMs!

Julia will never say this so I’ll say it for her: when I worked for Polygon, she was responsible for not just the biggest Polygon article, but the NUMBER 1 MOST CLICKED ARTICLE ON ALL OF VOX MEDIA. She was single-handedly paying all of our salaries. Hire Julia.

Anyway, I need to go around saving some of my clips and also I would like an ego boost because I frankly feel shitty SO if you have a favorite story of mine, please thread it here so the process of going through and picking some to download isn't so overwhelming/lonely ahaha

I'm getting more sad about getting laid off. My work means so much to me. I'm a really good reporter. I've been getting scoops every single week lately, while also doing in-depth, award-winning reporting. I have good ideas!

Polygon Sold To Valnet And Hit With Mass Layoffs One of the biggest gaming sites around was just blown up

Just woke up to this news, need to be a little more awake to fully process it, but the people I worked with at Polygon are some of the most kind, insightful, and passionate people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Support them wherever they end up. Also, fuck whoever made this decision.
