I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

she's an incredibly powerful mage, a prodigy, a real asset to the party. they wouldn't be alive without her she's also an anxious fail girl who wants her delicious real food and not monster food and we love that for her it's marcille delicious in dungeon

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Oh god all the ritter sport we brought back has fucking melted at tropical room temperature 😭😭😂

"Hijacking of Agor's Savage Avatar" This is my 3rd Southeast Asian medieval mech! Also, hello! I'm back for a bit, trying to post weekly until the end of the year, which is like 8 weeks? I can do this! (lol probably not)

MY CHILDDDD #KhazrakOneEye

Hey all! I'm back! for a week! Then I fly out again! 😜But while I'm home, I got some fun streams for you! @coo.games will join me to talk about Midnight Market! I'll do my @spielessen.bsky.social haul on Friday. Then I'll play Mystic Lands w/ John Clair from @alderaceg.bsky.social on Sunday!

Films watched on the plane: The Phoenician Scheme Flow Sinners I'm Still Here Pro tip don't watch the last two in quick succession unless you want to emotionally compromise yourself 🥲

"Centrists" need to call Mamdani a "radical leftist" so they can say Trump/Farage fascism is just the opposing side of an equally matched "both sides" conflict But Mamdani is just a middle of the road, European social democrat And "centrists" - ie centre-right and right - are simply pro-fascism.

“London and New York, two of the west’s largest, richest, and most diverse cities are now run by Muslim men, both of them elected on the ticket of left wing, pro-LGBT, pro-multicultural parties…The victory is a reminder of the fundamental weakness of Trumpism, Faragism, and the politics of hate.”

I love how No Pun Included go about their work of reviewing and criticism. It's opinionated but informed, sharp but open-minded. If you like board games, give the channel a follow.

Hi, I hate doing self promo so I'll just say that this indie board game coverage channel that could is about to hit a milestone of sorts. There is no skeet that can summarize who we are or what we do, but we do cool work and you should check us out. www.youtube.com/@NoPunIncluded

deluxe expansions are getting out of hand

Btw they opened our bags at security and scanned our board games and a packet of wet wipes lol

Being embarrassing with our favourite dinosaurs at the natural history museum

Hey board game folks, I need to contact some board game influencer types for a listicle i'm doing about family board games (for The Guardian). i'll probably contact the usual suspects but if you know of someone from an underrepresented group, pls give a shout! would love more diverse voices!

Colin had an excellent time back at spiel for the first time in 6 years and enjoyed berlin, city of bears. He might be an eisbär but he's happy to be returning to the tropics #BoardGameBear

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

1. On Tuesday Night, Democrats won elections nationwide in a stunning rebuke of anti-transgender politics. From Virginia to New Jersey to New York and beyond, anti-trans candidates fell left and right after spending tons of time and money campaigning on hate. Subscribe to support our journalism.

congratulations to new york and commiserations to everyone who is now older than the mayor of new york (including me)

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

UK folks, THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR is a monthly Kindle deal for November: just 99p! Often this sort of deal leads to price-matching at other online retailers, too. Happy reading!

You’re a “leftist?” Hold on a minute. It says here you used to offer “running lessons” in EverQuest where you’d convince newbies to /follow you and run them directly into a goblin cave to harvest their gear. I don’t seem to remember Marx mentioning that in Das Kapital

There is a man playing despacito on the clarinet on the u bahn is this legal

...and less than 24 hours later Condé Nast has fired Lex and the rest of the Teen Vogue political desk, even as stories like this were bringing huge numbers of readers to the site

Went to the german spy museum and they really did put cameras and microphones in absolutely everything during the cold war huh. My favourite is the glue stick camera. Also enigma machine! And the brands that made them lmao carl zeiss, siemens, shure

“Married life is full of challenges” *taps sign*

Please check out this great campaign. I'm in on Club Spooky 100% - a delightful set collection game with a light auction element that I got to play the prototype of recently.

Is it legally required that doner be bigger than an average human head or what

went to the east germany (GDR) museum with dee was a reminder that no matter how tightly the authoritarians close their fist, how many walls they build, how many of their own people they abduct and shoot in the end the regime dies. people protest, help their neighbors, organize

The Cortylorhynchus considers my problems, nods sagely, and says, "have you tried basking in the sun about it? While being as spherical as possible?"

Me looking at the dance of death mural from the 1400s in marienkirche: wow it's just like pentiment

it's me, unnamed critter from bosch's triptych of the temptation of anthony!

“My tax dollars are paying for their steak!” Yeah, well, my tax dollars are paying for ICE to threaten and abduct my neighbors. Steak sounds better.

On Saints Row we had a debug npc named Skinballs (lol) that was literally just four spheres wrapped in different shades of skin texture so we could test lighting for different skin tones during development. But teams need to plan for that kind of testing with intentionality, and not enough do.

So we went to the DDR Museum (life in East Germany) and tonight cal and I just talked about how astounding it was that the wall fell in 40 years of GDR rule and how I'm basically a doomer but cal is an optimist wrt both malaysia and the world changing for the better (I don't want to elaborate bc-

No one appreciates frank advice anymore.

I must compliment berlin on their novelty pasta game, if only they weren't so expensive I would get one but I would rather get more ritter sport lmao

Me whenever I see Colin the #BoardGameBear

Happy Little Sunflower

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct. Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Marx Engels forum is CLOSED FOR CONSTRUCTION so I had to resort to taking this stupid picture of the statue from outside the fence

If you're a National Trust member, it's that time of year again: Midnight tonight is the deadline. It's a shame people have to keep doing this to keep a toehold on historical truth in this country, but here we are. Voting link: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...
