When an abuser senses they are losing control, they will often retaliate in harmful ways. If you or a loved one are considering leaving an abusive relationship, help is available near you: sccadvasa.org/get-help

Today I learned that a game I made in partnership with Jennifer Ann's Group has been de-indexed on Itch. A Thousand Cuts is a texting game - no other graphics, no depictions of human forms literally at all - about how hard it is to report sexual assault to Title IX adjudicators at universities.
Not sure where to share and hope this is okay here.
Two of our nonprofit org's free #educational games about #consent are de-indexed. We opened support tickets.
They are *not* adult games. We marked both games as "sensitive content" and "content warning" due to the subject matter.
