Seems like a bad time to post this but is there ever a good time?
Just putting it out there that my current contract ends in the middle of November and I'll once again be looking for work as a character rigger/technical artist in games. I have a wealth of experience. 13+ years. Remote only please❤️

Think of the musician who wrote this song 400 years ago. Think of them writing it down, folding up the paper, putting it away, losing that paper at some point — never knowing that the last time they played it wouldn’t be the last time someone heard their music.
Hey buddy. I really like your song.

Lynda Sayce plays a piece of lute music that was recently discovered in an archival document at the Museum Plantin-Moretus. Since the handwritten lute tablature was folded and reused as scrap paper, it's problaby the first time in 400 years that this music is heard.

so, in short:
• if we all get loud for trans rights and actually organize a movement, we can win this one
• if we don’t, then a de facto ban on care is assured in us law within the next six months
in other words, you found yourself in history
now’s a moment to be the hero
really.

Last night, we were one of the first outlets to report the ADULT ban on gender affirming care for Medicaid recipients who depend on it to access it.
This morning, that bill passed 215-214-1.
It now goes to the senate.
It's a bleak day for transgender Americans.

1. Terrifying news for transgender people across the United States. In a late night development, the House Spending Bill was amended to ban transgender coverage for transgender ADULTS on medicaid!
A manager's amendment removed the words "for minors."

House Spending Bill Now Bans Medicaid For Transition Care For Adults
The provision was stricken late at night to appeal to hardline conservatives.

Folks loudly criticizing and judging Gazans for fundraising right now need to think twice about the assumptions they’re making. A dollar does not go far in a place where food is scarce. Have some humanity.

It's looking more and more likely that I'm going to be out of a job within the next few weeks, so if you're looking for a highly experienced and very technical character artist with a bunch of leadership experience, I'm your guy
My current job is likely ending in mid-May, so if you or someone you know is looking for a character or technical artist with well over a decade of experience across AAA, mobile, and VR, hit me up!

Okay so: good news and bad news. The good news is I’m *finally* about to sign for full-time work. The bad news is I am very overdrawn and it’ll be a while before I’m paid. If anyone feels like helping me get through this transition period, my CashApp is $sacc and my PayPal is @StellaSacco. Thank you

With the Oblivion remaster taking up the hype cycle, it's probably a good time to re-up that the Palestinian-led BDS movement has asked for a boycott of Microsoft's gaming products due to the company's ongoing and enthusiastic technical support for the IDF's ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Games media can't ignore BDS Xbox boycott
