After a decade of working my dream job, it's over. I was laid off from theScore esports today. Gonna take some time to mourn and be offline. I'll probably have more thoughts later, but for now if you know anyone who needs a writer, producer, or video host, please let me know.
On one hand, being laid off isn't fun. On the other, I do have all this time to read 270,000 word slow burn agegap yuri. So really, who can say if unemployment is good or bad

Sean is like a brother to me, and the finest editor and writer I've ever worked with. He's brilliant, and well worth your time if you're hiring.
After 10 amazing years, today is my last day at theScore esports.
It's been an amazing ride, and I'm so grateful for the career I've had and the people I've met.
This isn't the ending that I would have chosen, but in this industry you don't always get to choose your ending.

I encourage you to read her full comments, not because they exculpatory — they absolutely are not — but because they're dangerously close to self awareness about the trap that hasbarists find themselves in.

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

yeah it's honestly so wild! to me that the new york times circa 2019 is writing articles about how the internet is making kids trans meanwhile their writers are emailing The World's Most Well Known Child Sex Trafficker like "heyyy buddy,,,, how's it goin friend!"
As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

In Super Mario Galaxy, the stars on the letters of the logo spell "u r mr gay", while for the movie it says "he mr gay". This is because you are watching Mario, not playing him.

I am so certain this will be bad but also Mirandy is toxic yuri which means I will be there on day one.

this generation of game industry guys like Tim here have always fascinated me, because they may or may not have actually been artists at one point but they don't seem to have ever had much interest or curiosity towards art. their real primary function has been to be a sort of libertarian ideologue.
sincerely cannot imagine being this stupid or anti-art

Much of the hand wringing, imo, is over a critic explicitly saying they are judging the moral fabric of a piece of art because of the tools used to create it and it’s making some folks feel uncomfortable and shamed. The people who feel that way should sit with that feeling.

I try not to talk about it too much because it feels whiny, but the utterly meaningless cruelty of the transphobia directed at me in YouTube comments really sickens me. It doesn't shake my belief in myself, It doesn't make me think I'm not a woman, but it does hurt.

Literally just regularly check in on trans people you know about how they are doing with everything happening to us in the world right now. You’d be surprised to learn a lot of people (friends, family) never check in at all. It really helps to feel like someone genuinely cares.

The expected outcome has happened, just with more awful communication prior to the announcement. Sucks to see.
Vertical Studios (TSX: $VRTS) is releasing all of Luminosity's creators.
As part of the release, creators will receive payment for outstanding arrears dating back to the acquisition.

Woke up to find out my Twitter account got suspended, I think because I said the place "sucked shit" in my first post in months. While I am a little sad, it's probably for the best. It's getting worse and worse over there.

reminder to all my trans friends that a man who campaigned with this much support and love for us just destroyed the most machine politician to ever exist in spite of all odds. turns out vocally caring about us is a winning strategy!!
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.
