Anyone punching down on a journalist for taking a shit wage has no idea what the job market for any kind of writing job (and I mean ANY writing job) looks like right now. Or honestly, the job market as a whole.

Blame the companies, sure. Do not blame the writers who are struggling. Gross.

The Astronomer CEO's Coldplay Concert Fiasco Is Emblematic of Our Social Media Surveillance Dystopia Facial recognition and crowdsourced social media investigations are constantly being used not just on cringe CEOs, but on random people who are simply existing in public.

Digital Puritanism is in full force on this story. The internet gleefully doxxed these people, Polymakert is betting on their divorces, and brands like Chipotle and NEON are using them as advertising.

We shouldn't be doing this.

The gleeful doxing of someone cheating in public is bad even if they are a CEO and even if they are a Coldplay fan. It's bad because this kind of thing is happening to random people on TikTok for such crimes as "sitting silently on a plane" or "being attractive"

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.

Iโ€™m seeing so many job vacancies go to men in gaming journalism as opposed to women or AFABs. Itโ€™s getting on my nerves.

i clicked on 15 reviews for death stranding 2, on major publications, and havenโ€™t found a single from a woman. am i missing something? this is normal for video game media, especially with big games, but damn usually i can find at least a few lol

Ya girl is missing writing about gaming - need reviews, guides, news, interviews, features?

Pick me! I lack this pep when you talk to me, but what I lack in pep I make up for in writing ability.

it's that time again: i'm looking for work! my current main freelance gig at RPS is unfortunately likely coming to an end soon, so if anyone needs an on the ball news writer, you can count on me
as always, open to PR roles and other forms of work too (and reposts appreciated as well)

One of the best freelancers I've worked with and if I had budget I'd still be working with them

5/5, editor's choice, A+

Iโ€™d consider myself a fan, yet can honestly say Iโ€™m over this series. Itโ€™s been way too long since it was on our screens for me to get excited about it. Iโ€™ll likely watch it to see how it all ends, but only because itโ€™s something to do, not because it compels me.

After months of feeling detached from writing due to burnout, I finally feel ready to grab every opportunity with both hands.

Behold my latest diy project.

My mum painted it beige years ago when I gave it her, so now that itโ€™s returned to me I decided to spruce it up a little.
