After six amazing years I can reveal that I'll be leaving @runwithzrx.bsky.social at the end of April due to a major restructure. I'm so proud of the work we've done on Zombies, Run! over the years, and on Marvel Move with the support of @agentm.bsky.social

Oh wow, I had not expected this mint hot chocolate to be flavoured with uh... actual dried mint.

I wish companies who are looking for 'content creators' would not say that they are looking for all kinds of creative content including art, writing/fanfic etc. when it's pretty obvious that actually they are only interested in streamers and video content.

They always start with free speech. It sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? Free speech? And they can use it to shut down anyone who criticises them, because it’s all “free speech”

After “free speech” it’s “protecting women and girls”

And then it’s whatever they actually wanted.

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"

This dog was cruelly abandoned by his owners (my parents went out for an hour) and left to suffer in the cold (on the spare bed on my mum's fleece hoodie). For just £2 a month, you can make sure that he's kept safe and warm and never looks like this again (until next time mum leaves the house).

Gabby HC, but a ghost, hiding in a corner @scriblit.bsky.social · 4d

This is such a good point. I can't afford £100 for a covid booster. I could and would cheerfully pay £15 for one as I do flu. I also don't understand why so many aren't eligible for an NHS booster this year considering it didn't miraculously stop being covid over the summer

Gabby @gabliotecaria.bsky.social · 4d

This makes me want to break things. If it's such a no-big (it actually is a big that fucking disabled me), and you're equating it to flu (again, not remotely like), then why aren't the prices comparable?

(They should be free but given that's not going to happen, well)

#Destinytober25 from @d2artevents.bsky.social Day 8! "Fireteam"! 🔥

Fel decided to wear a trench coat. I decided not to ask why LOL

#Destiny2Art #Crow #Cayde6 #Felwinter #sketch #ScintHArt

Destiny 2 fanart sketch on lined notebook paper with the characters Crow, Cayde-6, and Iron Lord Felwinter. They stand as a back-to-back trio in an otherwise unseen fight, implied that they're surrounded. Crow stands in the center, facing the POV, his gun drawn and aimed skyward while he's checking Felwinter with a smile. Crow's right leg is propped up on an undefined pile of rubble. Felwinter stands to Crow's left in a trench coat, wielding a basic shotgun in firing position. His form is in full action with his robes and coat ends flailing up and forward. Cayde-6 stands to Crow's right, his stance braced in the rubble for firing his gun, which is pointed off-screen. His cape billows forward around him.

"I was part of the fireteam that ascended the Monolith and faced the Witness to save the universe. Since then I have discovered that in my first life I was... tech support at university. Not even one of the prestigious ones."

Do you ever think that there's a decent chance that at least one Warlord during the dark age was like... an accountant in their first life?

This is the mighty Warlord Alan Smith-4. In his first life he was a marketing executive for a company that made yogurt.

Because it's a publically owned company, it's very accountable to the government so it's actually a legal document unfortunately.

Damp little cowards so painfully aware of their worthlessness they can’t even accept a video game where they’re the villains.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Company leadership deemed the project too controversial for the moment, sources tell Game File
