for the last two years, players with dark-skinned custom MCs in Love and Deepspace have had to deal with their characters being poorly lit and often entirely invisible in some of the game's cutscenes, and they're begging the devs to do something about it: www.ign.com/articles/lov...

Don't forget to vote! Election day is coming up on November 4th! (And there may be early voting near you, too). #vote

I can't wait for my favorite conference next week, @gamesforchange #G4C #G4C2025!! 🌍 💗 I'll be speaking at a panel alongside some very inspiring people, Lien Tran, Theresa Loong, and Gordon Bellamy about inspiring the next generation of game creators! 🌟 🎲

I'm back from my amazing #Fulbright in beautiful #Tunisia. Here are some photos of my wonderful experience, which included teaching faculty at #ISAMM Institut Supérieur des Arts Multimédia de la Manouba and doing workshops at the U.S. Embassy in Tunisia. 🇹🇳🇺🇸🇹🇳🇺🇸

This is such devastating news. It is *especially* heartbreaking 💔 as I just returned from a Fulbright program, and I saw firsthand how enriching and important it is for innovation, cross-cultural community, and diplomacy. 🌍 www.reuters.com/business/med...

Trust me, you gotta watch #Paradise - it's so good. Love the writing, story, acting, sets, music, mystery, concept, everything! Sterling, Julianne, James! Ep 7 is one of the best episodes of TV ever. Go. Watch. Now.

Embarrassed by our country. Also, reading between the lines, and judging from the Oval Office reality show, it's clear that we are headed for WW3. (Likely, a war manufactured by the admin to get the US back on economic track.)

So, nothing special. I'm writing a scholarly publication on a few educational games. I do this often enough. In the byline, however, I need to write my institutional affiliation and the country in which I primarily work. First time I felt deep shame when identifying this country as being the U.S.

My just-turned-five-year-old can't read, write, or do math. But, he asked me today to explain the differences in symptoms among RSV, norovirus, the flu, and coronaviruses. (Tell me how bad this winter has been without telling me...)

Devastated to learn from my colleague Don Romesburg that the Sonoma State University Women’s and Gender Studies Department is being eliminated, and all its tenured faculty are being fired, as part of “budget reductions”. wgs.sonoma.edu

Playing with Hate: Report by Prof. Kat Schrier @katschrier.bsky.social "We asked 15 young adults to play 4 online games (Valorant, Counterstrike 2, Overwatch 2, Fortnite) with different identities (Jewish and Muslim; then national IDs Chinese, Mexican, Israeli)." www.adl.org/resources/re...

I've been invisibilized!! (yes it's a word lol) Parents.com covered my research on #online #games (yay). But, they didn't mention me in the article. I'm the sole author of the research. Meanwhile, only men were interviewed to talk about my research. www.parents.com/teens-harass...

So much BAD NEWS. Sadly, here's MORE 😢. Read my new report on #hate #harassment in competitive online games, like #Fortnite #Overwatch2 #Valorant #Counterstrike2. Full report and recommendations at: www.adl.org/resources/re...

Our newest report, a study by the great @katschrier.bsky.social, shows what hate against various identity groups looks like in online multiplayer games.

Here's NBC News blaming (of all things) AMONG US on a murder. Meanwhile, #lol, we wrote about AMONG US in 50 Games to Use for Inclusion, Equity, and Justice. Free to download at: lnkd.in/gfseDf-d

So, I am living my 13 yo dream watching this with my almost-13 yo daughter. WHO LOVES IT. Anyone know what it is (and can catch the other references)?

#SpecialEd in this country is already broken. Without the #DOE --which we need-- it will get even worse. In my district, a mom who is a SPEC ED ATTORNEY can't even figure out how to get the supports her child needs. Had to move out of district. What are others w/out degrees meant to do? #sped #ed

Despite my constant encouragement, my daughter won't play video games anymore (she did for about 6 years straight and she was awesome at it). 🎮 She is now 12 and her favorite thing to do is read. 🤷‍♀️ I know. I am the only parent who would be super bummed about this.

At this point, I am expecting Hulk Hogan, Kid Rock, Kanye West, and Biff from Back to the Future to be the four next nominations ("Oh, he's fictional? Doesn't matter!) #idiocracy
