To any editors that follow me: I am looking for writing work! I would love longer work, obviously, but I am opening myself up for shorter work as well-- back up, single issue, etc. Quick turnover right now in particular

As of this morning, the itch bundle officially broke 100k. This is a lifeline to our fellow workers and proof that solidarity extends beyond borders, both literal and figurative. Never let anyone tell you that things cannot change.
United Videogame Workers-CWA@videogameworkers.bsky.social · 3d agoYou’ve helped us raise over 80k for laid off gamedevs in need so far, and we still have plenty of time left in the bundle’s drive. Everyone who organized this effort was doing so on their own time for the benefit of others. If these companies wanted to, they would. They don’t. We do. Join us. ✊
The immigrant union troops who defended their adopted country from slaver traitors are in fact, proof of concept of American higher ideals having nothing to do with “blood” or “heritage” or whatever cowardly euphemism is in vogue among these pathetic losers
It is funny that this person thinks “immigrants defended the union while native born whites sought to destroy it in the name of slavery” is an argument against immigrants being Americans. This is precisely the point, nothing about being born here makes you better bsky.app/profile/aphc...

Falling asleep and hoping I wake up in the alternate reality where Sufjan Stevens did write an album for each of the 50 states. At the very least, one for New York.
In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...

I liked this interview. Underground rap is so important to me, and to be able to have a full on soundtrack that sets the vibes of Beatdown City Survivors (and have folks tell me how the soundtrack takes the gameplay to a whole nutha level) is very special.
Wallace@exalclaw.com · 2w agoBeatdown City Survivors has one of the most fitting licensed soundtracks this year. The game makes listening to NYC's underground rap scene while playing as them just work!

I wrote a whole book about this! And it wasn’t hard to find people to include; it was hard to narrow the list down from *OVER A HUNDRED* early gamedevs
.chantal//RYAN@thoughtrise.bsky.social · last wk.many of the early and most successful game designers and developers were women most people don't remember their names today, or recall that video game history started before the Boys Toys era funny that many of the games I grew up loving most were designed by women and I never knew til years later
