Getting ready to submit a pretty dope panel to GDC 2027 (yes, already!). I have panelists from big, medium, and little organizations coming together to talk about why open source safety tools are awesome. There’s absolutely at least a couple of names you’ll recognize. 👀 Hopefully it's accepted! 🤞

ROOSTERs @julietshen.bsky.social & @kristinalvandi.bsky.social are at the Crimes Against Children Conference #CACC2026. We work w/everyone (platforms, nonprofits, vendors) to make detection, review, & reporting tools widely available so all organizations can study, modify, & use them. Come see us!
Still thinking about everyone we met at #TrustCon. So here's a nudge: we're hiring 🐓 Engineers to build open source safety tools protecting 360M+users, and a marketing mgr to help that work reach people. Everything we ship is public & free for platforms to study, modify, use. roost.tools/careers

I swear I have a real job… I’m home after #TrustCon where @roost.tools was EVERYWHERE. We presented in 6 sessions across 3 days, largely thanks to @julietshen.bsky.social. Even when we weren’t in a session, we got countless shout-outs from T&S pros encouraging folks to adopt our tools.
That's a wrap on TrustCon 🐓 3 days, 6 sessions, 1 launch (Osprey 1.1.0!), many chicken hats. Favorite moment: non-engineers building working moderation rules in our workshop — safety tooling you can study, modify, and use. One year of Coop & Osprey. Just getting started.
Just announced at #TrustCon: Osprey 1.1.0 is out! Dark mode, registries that show what your deployment actually does, comparable benchmarks, and groundwork for plain-language queries.

It was quite a day with my first live stream from @roost.tools to celebrate Coop 1.0, the first major ROOST release I really contributed to. It’s been extra special hearing how much my work on the docs is appreciated; sometimes it feels like a massive amount of tireless effort that nobody notices. 😅
