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

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.

“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.”

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

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

Jeans with fake pockets should be illegal

One thing I didn't include in the article is that, randomly, the definitions in the judgment define any person with the protected characteristic of gender reassignment specifically as either a trans man (if they are AFAB) or a trans woman (if they are AMAB). Even though GR is far broader than that.

I'll be honest, I'm really struggling mentally at the moment and today's news isn't helping Please speak up for the trans people in your life, we need all the support we can get right now Quoting some good analysis of the judgement if you have the headspace to read

if two game social media managers start dating, their games are canonically smooching now sorry i don't make the rules

Always wanted to make one of these...

And that's a wrap for tonight's sail for community weekend in Sea of Thieves. We managed to snag two strange-looking boxes, sink a few ships (and slightly get sunk along the way) and had a blast with the lucky voyages and pop-up plunder. Now if you'll excuse me, I need a nap~

coughing is the most embarrassing thing you can do in public.

Hiked up a hill at 5AM this morning to try and catch the lunar eclipse but sadly only got clouds Silver lining of a great view watching the sunrise

Those of us who were invited by the gov as experts to be consulted on the blocker ban literally said all this was happening. Our input was dismissed as 'anecdotal evidence'.

For the first time in over 20 years, Israel has deployed tanks in the West Bank, after expelling 40,000 Palestinians from refugee camps. This is a prelude to full annexation, and makes a mockery of the ceasefire agreement that Israel continues to violate. [1/3]

I did not have Trans Bunny R2-D2 on my bingo card for tonight.

REMINDER: In the UK it's illegal to blanket force return-to-office mandates on disabled staff who need to work from home for accessibility reasons. There is a legal duty for reasonable adjustment that takes precedence over C-suite whims. www.gamedeveloper.com/business/clo... #gamedev #accessibility

With a day to go before the Hunter's Call update, I finally finished catching all the fish in SoT! Not sure any title could replace my Rare title though 💙💛

1/🧵 The Cass Review final report was quietly amended in December 2024, just before the permanent ban was announced, and it seems to have gone unnoticed. While most of the changes were minor and clerical, two of them were significant. Both changes relate to informed consent.

Went to see the longest pony last night. Longest johns and el pony pisador were amazing I took 1 picture the entire night No more context is needed

Back on Pokémon Go if any of y'all play My friend code is 707631504163

All I want for 2025 is for capitalism to fuck off

Really proud of the work i've done on myself this year: Started T Blocker, ADHD meds, and (long needed) therapy, I reconnected with some old friends, and generally i'm much calmer, happier, and taking better care of myself 💜 Y'all aren't ready for my 2025 glow-up ☺️ Hope y'all have a great year!

Not once in 5 years of game dev have i caused an infinite loop. Then i go and do it twice in one week Not sure if i should take this as a sign of tackling bigger projects or of skill regression 😅

Sometimes game dev is fun... Other times you have a three hour mental breakdown in Paint trying (and failing) to remember GCSE maths

SIMPLY HAVING A

Around this time last year @boyswillbebugs.bsky.social, @allomygale.bsky.social, @spissatella.bsky.social, @jfmclaughlin92.bsky.social and I published an open letter on supporting transgender persons in STEMM. We have decided to open to additional signatures 🧪⚒️🦑 medium.com/@transrights...

I know the games industry is in freefall right now and so many people are out of work and looking that the market is fiercy competitive. But it's also really shit that so many companies want you to move to be in office, when they could turn around and lay you off the next day.

New leaflets from English NHS Children's Gender service misrepresent the known risks & benefits of puberty blockers (in news that will surprise no-one) Seven separate lines of 'risks' are presented, with only one line per assigned gender of 'benefits'. Both are unrepresentative of the evidence 1/6

Never has a crime so obscene been so confessed to, so endlessly, so shamelessly, so proudly

Am I an anti-capitalist? Yes Does brain go brrrr when opening pokemon cards? Also Yes I will be taking no further questions😶

I don't understand how someone can look into the faces of fascism and genocide, and decide that's who holds your best interests My heart is with all marginalised people who's rights and security are now further called into question Fight, organise, and push back in every way you can 💜

I get so annoyed when someone resorts to accusations of "You don't know enough" in political discussions, especially on issues where both agree. Attacking other's knowledge shows you're incapable of conversing in good faith, just wanting to spout talking points youtu.be/6-pN7KEOW90?...

Had an amazing time marching for Palestine today. If you can, please add your voice to calls for a ceasefire. Message your MP, support local groups, etc Besides just doing the right thing, It was really fulfilling and validating to talk to and be around other people passionately fighting for change

Been seeing (well meaning) people marking the 07/10 Hamas attack as the "start" of Israel's genocide on Palestine, but to make at least my position clear; This genocide was instigated by Israel, saying otherwise ignores decades of violence, and plays directly into Zionism
