Still parsing all the things that went so well about the tenth @gdocexpo.com. Probably will be for a long time. It was especially meaningful to receive a token of appreciation from the home that I love. Grateful for everyone who had helped make 2025 the best version of the Expo yet. 🙏🏾💖

On this beautiful Saturday in Brooklyn, it was honor to receive the endorsement of Congresswoman Yvette Clarke (@voteyvette.bsky.social). "Unlike his opponents, I have no doubt that Assemblyman Mamdani will never surrender this city...for the sake of his own self-preservation."

A huge thanks to all of our Game Devs of Color Expo 2025 sponsors! We couldn't have brought this event to life without your support. #GDoCExpo2025

It is my birthday today! I'm 49 today, so I am going to give 49 thoughts and lessons from life and games. 1. The most important advice I can give to other men in dating: handle rejection gracefully. Dont fear it, dont try ro get ppl to change their mind... accept "no", and move on...

So do we get universal health insurance and basic income in the next few years or will we have a mass poverty event that causes businesses to crater since no one can afford to consume anything...? One of many ways this AI boom is short-sighted. It would be laughable if it weren't so inhumane.

We just launched our itch page for devs to submit games to be included in our Game Devs of Color Support charity bundle! 🙌🏾 Welcoming all submissions, whether you’re a #gamedev of color or friends & allies sharing our mission. This is a great way to support our org's work💪🏾 itch.io/jam/game-dev...

Dear young people, you are allowed to enjoy when horrible people lose for at least a few hours. Revel in it. Tomorrow is soon enough to start picking everything apart. lol.

I'm so glad that I had mentors and touchstones who reminded me to celebrate small victories. I would have burned out on organizing in my 20s if I hadn't heeded their advice.

The Bronx has my heart forever but this is why I moved to Brooklyn.

I have beaten the sex pest who was in the primary and who you were probably endorsing for Mayor Forgive me he was disgusting so perverted and so old

Jesus Christ, Bill de Blasio is cooking here. nymag.com/intelligence...

reminder: don’t rank cuomo!

"ugh does this mean gas prices are going up" it means a lot of people are likely to die but uh maybe a side effect of that going on could be slightly higher gas prices for you

🎨 I’m a veteran game artist open for new work. I’ve been illustrating, directing, animating, and designing since 2000 -not just pixel art (though I love it). Clients include Minecraft, WB’s Space Jam, Unity and Rami Ismail. If you need visual worldbuilding, I’m your person. DMs open, email in bio

On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park. New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.

Reminder that this script exists. Tell everyone you know not to rank Cuomo and to rank Zohran number 1!

amtrak’s marketing team gets it

I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.
