My former boss constantly said I needed to work on building trust with her and docked me on my performance reviews. I asked if I had done something untrustworthy and how to go about this? She never had an answer. I didn't realize at the time it was just the autism.

13 years ago I was the social media lead for record label for practicum. 8 years ago I got rejected from a social media job. They said I didn't have the right personality. Out of sheer spite I made a Twitter with a largeish following and reach.

Good night, everyone

So yesterday I found out my endometriosis is back. Looks like stage 3. Two years ago, I had stage 4. I had a full hysterectomy, removal of fallopian tube that was near rupture, lost most of my right ovary, and eight hours of adhesion removal. Now it's coming from the remains of my ovary.

I have to start running rituals tomorrow at 8 am and I'm an 11 am type of woman. 😮‍💨😮‍💨

“The jokes will corn-tinue” was right there

Nobody on my new team reacts to my corny jokes which means the jokes must continue unfortunately

Onboarding as a Producer is so mentally exhausting and we don't talk about it. I need to know a little bit about everything to do my job effectively so it's like taking a full immersion crash course for 40 hrs a week.

I feel like falling down is an appropriately dramatic reaction

Hi #whatagamedevlookslike. I'm in my 11th year working in #gamedev. Did you know the average tenure is 5 years and though we lack data to confirm, it is expected to be even less for women? Anyways, when E3 existed I was constantly mistaken for a "girlfriend" to the point it was exhausting.

The company that ghosted me three times during my job hunt just asked me to review their recruiting process 👁️👄👁️

Idk much about extraction shooters but I hope the robot fuckers are happy today

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

it's on miro. it's literally on figma. you have to log into okta. it's in jira. it's on zoom. it's on pureref. it's on flow. it's on perforce. it's on slack. you can find it on slack. you can go to slack and find it. log onto slack right now. you can slack it. slack has it for you. it's on slack.

Took shots with the Chainsmokers at the height of their popularity and they invited me back to Vegas in their bus but I said no. Lived someone's Y/N dream.

I keep seeing so many people on social media obsessed with having a take, in times of crisis. Hell, I've done it too. But remember: You DON'T have to have one. It's ok to say I have no idea. Also, see image:

Ghost of Yotei star: 'workers need more protections' in game development

Doomscrolling is the weaponization of literacy

Hey big tech: The gamers want ssx tricky 2, guild wars 3, rock band, ip with deep lore and sophistication, and GTA. I'll accept my consulting fee now

AO3 being down is really revealing the load bearing presence that site currently occupies in my carefully constructed safe brain zone.

Lucked out this weekend with leather bags and wallets to restore. Should keep me busy for some time!

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

join something today and show up to the meetings. DSA, WFP, your local friends of the library, literally anything. Sublimate your despair into action.

#fanart #pokemon sorry had some shitposts ideas too

I would kill for him

The valve lawsuit gives me schadenfreude because of former job reasons lol

games industry

I play cities skylines and the first patch under the new owner seems to have fundamentally broken several shaders, anti aliasing, and made changes to the camera I can't really describe. I'm fascinated on both how this happened and how it was released.

Timeless humour! A 2,000 year-old Roman souvenir pen with a joke inscription roughly equivalent to: “I went to Rome and all I got you was this cheap pen!" 😂 Dated circa 70 AD, this iron stylus pen was recovered in London during excavations by MOLA. 📷 Juan Jose Fuldain/MOLA #Archaeology

instead of this doomerism, think about what rebuilding looks like. think about how we can make this industry better after everything hits rock bottom.

I'm an unemployed video game designer with 14 years of experience and multiple shipped titles. Every day I get up to apply for jobs and every day the news says this

This fella at work seemed afraid of me Buddy I spend 90% of my time liking yaoi porn fanart on main

the video game industry is a mess

I have no reach on Bluesky but I have several comments and posts that slapped doing numbers on other sites that don't have options to hide notifications and I simply want to die

My new team is a little quiet and serious so I hit them with el Classico Is a pop tart a dumpling?

I have had a cyst in my pinkie finger for some time that was refusing to go away and makes bending the finger hard. Yesterday, doctor tried to drain it but couldn't so we did the steroid shot. I have been vibrating out of my skull ever since and haven't slept. A h. 👁️👄👁️

All of the groups and programs for women are like "ARE YOU AMBITIOUS DO YOU WANNA LEAN IN AND CRACK SKULLS DO YOU EVER WANT TO GO INSANE" but like where are the programs for non-ambitious women who just want some rights and a good wage? I want a program that says you're good at your job let's hang

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

First day of job tomorrow starts at 730 am I'm so nervous I'll oversleep

I have a very simple and straightforward two-step plan to Save The Video Game Industry: Step 1: Globally eliminate the concept of a classed society and redistribute all surplus resources among the populace, permanently enshrining social ownership of the means of production. Step 2: Ridge Racer 8.

New job sent me a mac book and I've never used one in my life so guess I'm gonna spend a day learning how to iOS
