Be gay, do crimes isn’t just a funny saying. People want to incriminate your existence. If you existing is a crime, then be gay and do crimes.

I AM HAVING THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER RIGHT NOW BECAUSE MY NEPHEW WAS BORN A FEW HOURS AGO 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I'M AN AUNT!!!!

Update: back in. Seems someone tried to get in? 🤷‍♀️ That's why I have 2fa but apparently still enough for LinkedIn to just go 'nope'.

My LinkedIn account was just suspended without warning, with no way for me to get in. WTF?

50+ connection requests on LinkedIn and only one of them is a woman. 😔

Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because I’m spiraling. I’ll start: you can buy an enormous TV from Costco for like $100 bucks now.

Talk to a person on Tuesday, completing a grant application together by Thursday. Loving the freelance life. Nobody to ask permission. I can just decide to do this. 💪

Hoeveel wetenschappers zijn er nog nodig om vast te stellen dat Israël genocide pleegt in Gaza voordat politici in actie komen? nos.nl/liveblog/258...

oh im gonna get some mileage out of this one

Our session "What Happens After You Sign? An Indie Publisher Roundtable" was absolutely packed this morning! To all that came, thanks so much for contributing!! 🥰 #devcom

So inspiring to hear these powerful producers tell their stories 😍 #devcom

this is an incredibly important read and offers a realistic look at the situation with payment processors vs itch and steam... especially how powerless the storefront is. it’s pretty dire. please read and share this. it’s really good i wish this was an article!

BREAKING: One of the most important and prominent reporters on the ground in Gaza has been Anas Al Sharif. He - and several other Al Jazeera journalists - have just been assassinated by Israelis forces whilst in their press tent in central Gaza. Speechless.

Visa is now actively shutting down calls regarding their censorship and prohibition of the sale of legal product. They clearly retrained their staff on how to deal with our calls. That doesn't happen unless there's critical mass. KEEP IT UP. They are trying to turf the calls as fast as they can.

Happy launch day to Ludocene ✨ This great new game discoverability tool basically works like Tinder. I'm also one of the experts so you can check my recommendations 🎮 www.ludocene.com/expert-57

Don't call it war. It isn't. This is genocide.

Last 6 months have been wild: 🤯We realised game discovery was broken. 🧪We made a prototype game-finder. 🎯We Kickstartered it into reality. 🥘We cooked and cooked with our backers. 🚀On Weds 6th Aug we launch Ludocene.com into the world. 🙏Last chance back/share: www.kickstarter.com/projects/lud...

I'll be hosting a roundtable at Devcom called 💬 What Happens After You Sign? An Indie Publisher Roundtable. 💬 Most talks cover *getting* a publisher, but we dive into what happens AFTER: what can you expect? Indie devs & publishers, feel free to join! bizcommunity.gamescom.global/widget/event...

this is what beit hanoun looked like (from arabi21.com/story/155862...)

Someone put together an awesome Google Doc with as much info piled together as possible docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Palestinian freedom is a pre-requisite for our own, because if we can't protest and object and take action against almost 650 days of genocide and war crimes of this scale by Israel, we can't object to anything. If we can't save Palestine, we can't save ourselves when the fascists come for us.

What nazi bitches hate is when you are kind, collected spreading positivity and the only way to shut you down is for THEM to be the ones to lose composure and lay out their hatred in front of a crowd. So the audience listens to your message while they seethe, and look bad anyway. It's fun to watch.

Currently on the phone with Visa Instead of starting with a complaint, I approached this as a Confused American Consumer who doesn't understand why they can't buy things off a website they use The call center rep immediately asked if it was about Steam/itch (cont)

taught my first class this week - production fundamentals for game design students. as the daughter of two teachers, it’s special to me. also: very tired.

Decided to expand my horizon and do something I never did before: use a sewing machine. 🧵

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs

Microsoft about to announce a partnership with Embracer Group?

When I read about deaths from overheating, I used to think: why don’t they just drink more? I recently learned that using a fan or drinking more water doesnt work. Those help in moderate heat, but do little in extreme heatwaves. What truly prevents deaths is changing the environment. AC saves lives.
