Trans flag with "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me."

What a joke. The continuous race to the bottom in UK politics. Spineless bastard.

We are incredibly disappointed by the Labour government's decision to seek advice from such a narrow segment of our industry. You can find our open letter here: www.gameworkers.co.uk/open-letter-...

I'm kicking about Develop Conference today and till ~2pm tomorrow! If anyone wants to hang reach out!

Any IGDAF alumni shoot me a message, I have free pins and stickers 😅😘

By every metric, wherever they've been trialled, shorter working weeks are better for business, workers and the economy at large.

The first two paragraphs: "Today, a hot day when 22 Palestinians (including journalists) sat in a seafront café were murdered by one Israeli bomb, various national media outlets have contacted us (again) to ask our view of something a musician said. For 636 days now, unprecedented & insufferable horror has been recorded by the brutalised communities of Gaza and shown to us on our phone and television screens. It will not stop. No one, it seems, will stop it."

The last two paragraphs (in part): "As we all watch on aghast, every single day, shouting or typing into an echo chamber of complicity... Given the total ban by Israel on international journalists reporting from Gaza, and the simultaneous murder of hundreds of journalists in Gaza by Israeli forces, Massive Attack would urge the BBC and other media outlets to redirect their considerable news resource to reporting the truth of what is happening, daily, to the people of Gaza, and critically, to explaining the corresponding inaction of western governments (such as the UK) to their viewers.”

Yall know my position on this

there are many sexual abusers in the games industry.

I hear the few I know about praised constantly as close friends, icons, and inspirations, but privately, they have caused hell.

they are not my stories to tell, but this is one of the reasons no one (except their victims) know who they are
