Seems like a bad time to post this but is there ever a good time?

Just putting it out there that my current contract ends in the middle of November and I'll once again be looking for work as a character rigger/technical artist in games. I have a wealth of experience. 13+ years. Remote only please❤️

Think of the musician who wrote this song 400 years ago. Think of them writing it down, folding up the paper, putting it away, losing that paper at some point — never knowing that the last time they played it wouldn’t be the last time someone heard their music.

Hey buddy. I really like your song.

so, in short:

• if we all get loud for trans rights and actually organize a movement, we can win this one

• if we don’t, then a de facto ban on care is assured in us law within the next six months

in other words, you found yourself in history

now’s a moment to be the hero

really.

Last night, we were one of the first outlets to report the ADULT ban on gender affirming care for Medicaid recipients who depend on it to access it.

This morning, that bill passed 215-214-1.

It now goes to the senate.

It's a bleak day for transgender Americans.

Folks loudly criticizing and judging Gazans for fundraising right now need to think twice about the assumptions they’re making. A dollar does not go far in a place where food is scarce. Have some humanity.

god as soon as I survive the remainder of may I really wanna focus my energies into learning how to cook

Let's take a look at the reasons why you might get laid off while working on a game, shall we? Your game doesn't do well, which, sure. Harsh, but understandable. Your game is called a success by Microsoft. Microsoft then lays you off. You help make a game as successful as Marvel Rivals. You are then laid off. Your studio gets acquired for over $60 billion dollars. You are then laid off. You endure executive pressure that forces you into making games your studio isn't good at making. It doesn't go well. You are then laid off. Someone decides your portfolio needs to be aligned/reorganised/restructured to become more flexible/agile/versatile under economic/industry conditions. Meanwhile, your CEO might've spent $2 million on vintage cars. You are then laid off.

A painting of Mt. Hood in Washington, seen from a field of flowers. The mountain is in the background against a clear blue sky with a couple wisps of clouds. In the foreground is a group of green, lush bushes full of yellow and pink flowers. In front of the bushes, to the left there are some sunflower stalks leaning in to the scene.

so happy for you sol, congrats!!

It's looking more and more likely that I'm going to be out of a job within the next few weeks, so if you're looking for a highly experienced and very technical character artist with a bunch of leadership experience, I'm your guy

friends are calling this unhinged but I am calling it honest 💜

Okay so: good news and bad news. The good news is I’m *finally* about to sign for full-time work. The bad news is I am very overdrawn and it’ll be a while before I’m paid. If anyone feels like helping me get through this transition period, my CashApp is $sacc and my PayPal is @StellaSacco. Thank you

i do hate being a buzzkill but i feel obligated to post a reminder that Bethesda is owned by Microsoft now, and also a reminder that the BDS boycott of Microsoft's gaming division is still ongoing

With the Oblivion remaster taking up the hype cycle, it's probably a good time to re-up that the Palestinian-led BDS movement has asked for a boycott of Microsoft's gaming products due to the company's ongoing and enthusiastic technical support for the IDF's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Hello [autistic friend] I am your assigned ADHD extrovert for the day. Would you like me to order from the drive thru for you and play videogames for several hours in the dark or do you want to hang out while I practice one of my many energetic hobbies while you tell me about [your hyperfixation]?
