On a personal note: I'm likely not re-joining the games industry unless i find some cute ethical indie to work for. It's been a long, stressful 5 years of being consistently belittled and punished by boot-licking "veterans" for vocally trying to improve working conditions

I'm not surprised by this news given how it was when I was there, but this is particularly blatant and cruel. I hope all those effected are holding up okay and that they and the IWGB teach rockstar a lesson

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity.

We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

Big announcement!!! My video on how Chicken Run is communist is now part of Britain's media history

Over the summer the British Film Institute (BFI) got in touch cause they wanted to archive this video as a historically significant piece of media (lol) and it's now been archived

Just tested positive for covid again. Please mask up if you can, there seems to be a lot going around atm

also I can't believe I have to say this but cover your mouth when you cough! Every time I go out, multiple people will just cough right at me without even thinking, it's disgusting!

🙌The first recognised union for game devs in the UK! 🙌

Workers at ZAUM now have a say on their pay and conditions at work with the support of the @iwgbunion.bsky.social

Work in games in the UK? Join our union today: iwgb.org.uk/en/join/game...

Not something I've done before but open to it!

I think I must be at this point 😅

RTs appreciated

For the second time in a year I have woken up to being very suddenly made redundant from my job

It's all still very raw but If anyone knows of any opportunities in games QA i'd really appreciate you getting in touch

I'm passionate, good at what i do, and i won't let this industry beat it out of me

Breaking News: Cis person who did a bad thing once knew a trans person! Trans people as a group to blame for bad thing? Read this story now on...every news site

I'd say I'd warm you up but I did the same 😅

A photograph of the front of Wes Streeting's office in Ilford. there is pink paint on the window, reading CHILD KILLER, although a car is parked in front of it, and white paper on one side barely hiding a puncture in the glass. Wes' name is also covered in pink paint on the email at the bottom of the red banner-style sign

A different angle of Streeting's office, showing the CHILD KILLER text more visibly. Three punctures with spider-fractures are visible across the front of the office windows.

JUSTICE FOR TRANS YOUTH On July 31st, a group of activists representing BASH BACK took action against Wes Streeting's office in Ilford, in response to his continued abuse of trans people in the medical system, and attempts to cover up the suicides of trans young people under his watch as Health Secretary. In the months since the puberty blockers ban, we have seen huge backpedals in the healthcare rights afforded to trans people - and young people especially - in an NHS system that was never kind to us in the first place. Under Streeting's rule, GPs have been banned from conducting blood tests on trans patients accessing HRT, and trans people have been banned from accessing hospital wards that fit their gender, leading necessarily to poorer quality of care across the board. Streeting, along with NHS England, the EHRC, and Hillary Cass, have paved the way for state-mandated conversion therapy, which has since led to the Department of Education's proposed introduction of a "Section 28" style bill, preventing discussion of transness in the classroom. It is clear now that Wes Streeting and the Labour government intend to erase trans people from public life, and will go out of their way to do so, no matter how many bodies lay in their path.

Our statement on the actions at Wes Streeting's office last night.

We refuse to sit and watch as trans young people have their healthcare stripped from them. We refuse to allow Streeting to cover up their suicides. We refuse to endure the violence and humiliation. They will have to go through us.

Lies!

“One in three Gazans goes multiple days without eating, the World Food Programme said this week. Malnourished mothers can no longer produce milk to breastfeed their children, the injured are unable to heal and hospitals have run out of nutritional supplements to treat gaunt babies.”

The flight of dragons!!! Was one of my favs too! 🧡💚

What an amazing night!
Love to @ferwynaarianrhod.bsky.social and @tiavt.bsky.social for a lovely 5 hours of Hour glass! Joined by our secret weapon Micah!

So glad we got both paintings, and pushed @themicahsmith.bsky.social over the edge to the wonderful ghost curse!

Till the next HG boost 💞

It’s been almost a year since I hosted Detroit’s first and largest video game launch party! We introduced so many kids to game development, showed them they could actually make their own games. Still one of the most meaningful things I’ve ever done as a Detroit-based game developer.

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL IS GOING TO HAPPEN

Yeah, I made sure to set aside my first day to try to be present and listen to my body, but life loves to get in the way 😅

Happy to chat ADHD anytime if you need someone to bounce off. I hope you start seeing the outcomes you're hoping for soon!

(Trip sitter is usually a term used around recreational drug use, which I know this isn't but I can't think of another term 😅)

I can't talk to the interactions, but if you're worried, until you get comfortable with the medication, you could have a friend essentially be a trip sitter? To have someone stay with you to be a calm presence and to look out for you 💜

So I can happily announce, I’ve now officially had bottom surgery.
Recovering in my room now.
Thus the weird count down and vagueness.

Amazing art by @starsinmycoffeeart.bsky.social 💞

So yeah, no streams for a few weeks while I recover, but expect posts while I’m bored in hospital
