Video game giant Rockstar has sacked more than 30 workers across the UK, including my constituents working at their Edinburgh office. I urged Ministers to support workers who have lost their jobs, and stop this from happening again.

I wrote a case study on the importance of and ROI for creating consistency during uncertain times for @balancepatch.bsky.social 👀✨️

Wrote about SGF, ICE, and covering the event as first-generation US born person.

This lawsuit is brutal. One of the exhibits is the letter Universal sent to Midjourney, including a quote from a 2022 Forbes interview that I bet midjourney regrets

Once again, Teen Vogue is doing the journalism needs to be done. Thanks for your hard work just telling the truth while other news outlets orchestrate a baseless moral panic.

Our new case study is now live: Creating Consistency in Uncertain Times. Check it out! ⬇️ www.balancepatch.co.uk/blog/casestu...

It’s probably bad that the future of America’s government pivots on a fight between Lex Luthor and the Joker

I teach a game writing class. Students have scripts, worldbuilding docs, treatments, etc due every week About half the class used ChatGPT last semester even though I made it clear using an LLM = an F. When I asked why a studio would ever hire them if their work was just ChatGPT, they seemed stunned

Literally why would we WANT to though

I'm collating together who all is celebrating this year on a LinkedIn post so keep them coming! 🏳️‍🌈 www.linkedin.com/posts/leon-k...

Happy pride folks I'm still fleshing out the entries, but here's a list of over 200 retro games (pre-2010) which were made by trans people or which had trans people on the dev team. We have always been here. dotmaetrix.neocities.org/classictrans...

Jonathan Joss, known for King of the Hill and Parks and Rec also played Robert Rainwater in Cyberpunk 2077. He was a great actor and my heart goes out to his family and partner. May homophobes rot and burn.

"but my nostalgia" "but she doesn't own the fandom" "but I'm not going to give her money I'm just going to keep her property culturally relevant forever" "but also I'm definitely going to give her money and just pretend I didn't" Children's media consumed by adults funding fascism. Wild.

So I'm looking to ramp up my freelance work after my hours for a client got slashed. 💀 I'm available for reviews, mock reviews and guides, as well as LGBTQ+ and HoH consultation. I'm an award-winning writer with experience in narrative design and PR. aimeehart.journoportfolio.com RTs appreciated.

Is your games studio posting support for Pride this year? Or have you seen a particular studio posting? I want to see 'em! Share below pls? 🙏

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

Want to be a better ally but not sure where to start? Here are 4 things you could start doing right now: 1.) Speak up for trans rights. If you are a games studio, use your social platforms to support your trans employees. Visibility and allyship from cis people is more important than ever.

Working with a student on her story, I recommend using an em-dash. She says she can't, because professors will think she's using AI. She says that's a tell now. Is it? Is the hopeless race to outsmart AI causing us to lose bits of language and punctuation?

New YA romantasy coming this summer

The UKGI understood their #expedition33 assignment 🤭 @sandfallgames.bsky.social

I love fun glitches, like this one that is supposed to be Shirtless Deacon but was him in his skivvies and socks. @bendstudio.bsky.social please never fix this, or at least make it a skin of its own :')

Following the outdated and lifethreatening decision over transrights from the UK Supreme Court ,as a sector we owe it to our friends, colleagues and the transcommunity to speak up for change. Please sign this openletter from the cultural sector to the EHRC airtable.com/appJjTpDvAuS...

This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.

Protest in parliament square tomorrow - stand up against the march of reaction.

TRANS RIGHTS ARE NOT A DEBATE YA FUCKIN WANKS FUCK THE FUCKIN LOT OF YE'S

Today and every day, Code Coven stands with our trans siblings, and we will continue to make our spaces brazenly trans-inclusive. Trans women are women, trans men are men, Trans rights are human rights 💖

Megathread of pro-trans petitions on Parliament’s petition website. If Labour suddenly gets hit with debates for a bunch of pro-trans petitions, maybe they’ll realise this issue isn’t going away and they’ve fucked up. I’ll add more as I find them. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

In the midst of job hunting, freelancing, and wedding planning I've opened up some time to provide games micro-marketing support for a fee for folks. Think: ✅ Store page review (Steam or otherwise) ✅ Copywriting ✅ Small & manageable action points ✅ Burning questions answered Follow & DM me!

Following the news about Meta's mass theft of writers' work to train AI, we're joining the #DoTheWriteThing day of action today - Make a noise on social media - Write to Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy - Tell Meta they don't have the right to use your books writersguild.org.uk/do-the-write...

Is executing 15 paramedics & aid workers from short range and then burying them and the red crescent ambulance they were in in a mass grave a war crime? Surprise, surprise, the Western world would like you to think it depends on whether its Israel doing it again. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
