The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

I also HAVE to shout out Goodnight Universe from @nicedreamgames.com. The demo is so weird and so heartfelt and I can't wait for the full release

Goodnight Universe on Steam

You are Isaac, a 6-month-old baby, developing mysterious psychic powers. What you want most is to be loved and accepted by your family, but a secretive tech corporation wants you for their own.

Playing a lot of demos lately so I'm starting a thread of my faves, beginning with The Midnight Barber! This game combines narrative and rhythm gameplay in SUCH an ingenious way. I can't stop thinking about it

The Midnight Barber on Steam

A narrative ASMR adventure about a supernatural barbershop in late 70s Barcelona. Trim and style your supernatural clientele, gain their trust, and uncover their darkest secrets.

Sadly, my contract with Blizzard ended in September. That means I'm looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! www.hazelmonforton.com

dr. hazel 🐝 @hazelmonforton.com · Jul 8

It's #portfolioday! I'm presently a senior narrative designer at Blizzard, but before that I was at Bungie and Arkane. I wrote for the Writer's Guild award-nominated Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, and a bunch of critically acclaimed seasons and expansions in Destiny 2.

“they’re shoving gay stuff into the story for no reason! checking boxes!!!!” my brother in lilith, every queer writer you know can name off the top of their head a movie, book, game, or tv show where the plot + character arcs would’ve made WAY more sense if they’d just let them be gay

Mamdani promises to deploy *hundreds* if lawyers to fight for trans rights, create a new office of LGBTQ affairs, and allocate millions of dollars to fund housing and healthcare for trans kids and adults

This is what fighting back looks like--elevating activists to materually support trans people.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

My "Require alt text before posting" setting got randomly cleared, at some point. If you use this setting, you may want to make sure it's still turned on.
