I’ve gotten a bunch of replies asking if people should review bomb the game, bother employees on LinkedIn, etc. Please don’t. I don’t want petty shit done in my name. I just want my money. The only reason I even posted the company name was to warn other writers.

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

The far right also get to pull the "even this liberal outlet is saying this" card for a few years. They've been doing it with the Washington Post as it shifted tone on trans issues in the last year.

No but this is entirely correct

democrats should be running on anti-transphobia as a public health issue, bc there really is nothing like transphobia for rotting a persons brain and driving them to deeply unhealthy anti-social behaviors

Another day where we can say - well done to all the anti trans activists who have helped create a world where a convicted sexual abuser is the most powerful man in the world while this is what is going on in Kansas

I’m doing this because I love you @katmabu.bsky.social and because it almost physically hurt my head that it wasn’t in there the first time around

This is one of UBI's strongest arguments. People in need don't hoard wealth overseas, effectively removing it from the economy, they spend it. Keeping money flowing in the community, recieving what they need and supporting businesses.

Thinking too of trans folks who are caregivers or receive care, perhaps, who can't uproot their entire care ecosystem across state lines. A wave of donations would make such a significant impact on local orgs, but social media often narrows our focus to just one group (which IS doing great work).

Columbia University just emailed affiliates letting them know that federal agents from DHS abducted a student this morning from a campus residence under false pretenses and with no warrant or probable cause.

ICE is struggling to keep pace with vetting new hires during its historic recruitment push, so it's hiring officers before completing standard checks. The agency fired five people after belatedly finding that they had outstanding warrants for their arrest. www.reuters.com/world/ice-st...

“Well, according to the dictionary, I’m just a large, flightless bird from East Africa. ... But believe me, Doris—once you get to know me, you’ll see I’m much, much more than that.”

BREAKING: Columbia President Claire Shipman says DHS agents entered a residential buliding this morning and detained a student. "Our understanding at this time is that the federal agents made misrepresentations to gain entry to the building to search for a 'missing person.'"

“I don’t give a fuck what that judge says, I do what I want.” The judge in question: Judge Royce Lamberth. Let's see how this goes. www.lawdork.com/p/trans-inma...

Doomerism about fleeing only helps those who want you to die at their hands. Every trans woman who gets out of the US, and by extension every trans person who gets out of the US, is a fucking victory. There are multiple ways, paths, routes out. Find yours. Thread...

GOOD NEWS! A UNIVERSAL sarbecovirus vaccine candidate has OFFICIALLY started clinical trials. GBP511 is the FIRST vaccine to reach human testing that is intended to protect against MULTIPLE strains of SARS-CoV-2 as well as other related coronaviruses with the potential to spark dangerous outbreaks.

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

Good morning! 🪶

Being a trans journalist is going to work and having to cover how your life is now illegal in your state but also at the same time make sure someone else writes the story so no one can accuse you of being biased and a "trans activist" and then they do the story and you still get accused of it.

“We are taking back your papers, you have no papers now” is even more chilling than “show us your papers”

I think people mostly imagine it as like a symbolic nicety and not the foundation of how most trans people go about their lives. Updating all my docs was the first thing I did after coming out.

Whenever I try to explain to someone why not having accurate IDs matter, I point people to the case of Stacie Ray from years back www.aclu-tn.org/news/trans-o...

This effectively forces every trans person in the state to out themselves while applying for a job, renting an apartment, or being stopped by police. It's part of the same law that allows anyone to sue anyone else they suspect of being trans and using the "wrong" bathroom.

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims. By @mckenziefunk.com @micarosenberg.bsky.social

hey, remember when the transphobes started coming for gender-affirming care for minors and it was framed as “concern for children” and trans folks said “lol they just want us to not exist” and our society full of rubes and people with turnips for brains took the transphobes’ arguments at face value

COLORADANS! Trans Continental Pipeline also needs volunteers willing to provide a place to stay for trans folks relocating there. The volunteer form is here: tcpipeline.org/volunteer/

If you've got some coin, toss some in the plates of trans journalists telling trans stories from trans perspectives. Because the corporate media sure as fuck aren't going to do it. Several trans journalists have done exceptional work over the last few days on this. Proud of all y'all.

The level of rage I have towards the New York Times that enabled this while blaming us for it is indescribable.

Many news outlets are reporting that some trans Kansans received letters warning that their licenses were being invalidated overnight. This morning, Evan Urquhart spoke with a trans woman who found out on Bluesky that it would be illegal to drive her car. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

JUST IN: Judge Murphy has ruled that the Trump administration's policy of sending deported immigrants to third countries without notice or a chance to challenge is illegal and unconstitutional. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

1. Major news on trans youth care. The American Psychological Association has reaffirmed its full support for its 2024 guidelines supporting trans youth car.e It provided documentation showing Jesse Singal mischaracterized their position in the NYT. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Erin's reporting is, as always, impeccable. What many may not know, however, is that once a license is issued, the holder has a property interest in that license that is protected by the 14th Amendment. This goes back to Bell v Burson (1972). For more, keep reading... 🧵

I don’t think people understand what’s this means: MEDICARE AND MEDICAID ARE BLOCKING ALL WHEELCHAIRS, WALKERS, CANES, INSULIN PUMPS, GLUCOSE MONITORS, CPAP MACHINES, NEBULIZERS, BEDS, CRUTCHES, COMODE CHAIRS, BED SORE PRESSURE PADS, CHAIR LIFTS, OXYGEN TANKS, BREATHING EQUIPMENT, to name a few.

this article I wrote after Kirk's death is perennially relevant. the reality of the situation is awful, horrifying. but it's never without hope, and preserving your mental fortitude is the simplest and most powerful way to fight back and win. transnews.network/p/on-survivi...

I'm only linking this to point out the historical parallels, not fearmonger that we are in 1:1 the same situation with the same outcome, but ... remember that while history might not always repeat, it always rhymes. the GOP's intentions are clear, and their actions are even clearer.

do not let Democrats give a centimeter on trans people’s rights. We stand up for everyone, or we stand up for no one.

This is bigotry, pure and simple. open.substack.com/pub/erininth...

The morning that Cmdr. Elizabeth Nakagawa was scheduled to have a D&C to remove fetal tissue after losing a very wanted pregnancy, she learned the surgery had been canceled because the military’s health insurance plan refused to pay for it. (Published Dec. 2024)

I don't think anyone pretending there isn't an effort underway by Republicans to eradicate trans people from public life can be taken seriously at this point.

An oldie about ducks and ignoring scientific ethics.

An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public. It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests. What else is the regime hiding from us?
