Right now it feels like they’ll get away with it - be rewarded for it, even - and slide on through their vapid, consequenceless lives. Without ever really understanding how protected they are.
This man’s name is Justin Fox. In this clip, he explains why a documentary about Jewish women’s experiences in the Holocaust had funding cut for being “DEI”.

How To Get To Heaven From Belfast was a gorgeous and lovely thing and I can only hope to be so talented and self assured in my writing someday 🥹
#WhatAGameDevLooksLike? ME!
I’m a narrative designer and writer who loves telling human stories through fantastical lenses. I’ve been involved in a range of projects through Indie, AA, and even a book anthology!
Also, I’m looking for my next role! Contract, full-time, remote; let’s talk!
I’m sad to miss lots of things this year, and hanging out with you is definitely up there!

I’m Cathy, I made a couple shareware games in the 90’s and have spent the last decade and a half trying to make the indie thing work. These days I work with a team and I only handle design and programming. (I don’t do in-person conferences so you won’t find me at GDC)

They are wearing a dark olive wide-brimmed hat with a small decorative feather, round wire-rimmed glasses, and a red and grey plaid button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up. They have dark blue trousers secured with a dark woven belt and a smartwatch on their left wrist. Their right hand is resting in their pocket.
The yearly trend created by @drjclau.bsky.social is back, and this is #WhatAGameDevLooksLike!
I’m Nazih, been in the industry for 17+ years, and worked in all sorts of verticals. You will probably know me for my advocacy on equitable industry practices, game crediting and inclusive development

#WhatAGameDevLooksLike
I'm a Senior Game Designer with 5+ years experience breaking the overnight build.
I put everything on the update thread and I will NEVER test my perforce commits. That's your job.
I’ve written on, helped develop or provided narrative consultation for a lot of really cool titles, including Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, Afterlove EP, Tales of The Shire, Henry Halfhead, Winter Burrow and quite a few others that I am not yet allowed to mention 😅
Showing up kind of late with that one same photo to say that this is #WhatAGameDevLooksLike!
I’ve been a Writer & Narrative Designer for 5+ years now, and I’ve worked on everything from indie to AAA, in all kinds of genres!
I take my work VERY seriously… and myself, not seriously at all 😅
We’ll vibe someday! The universe demands it!
Just coming back here to be super-clear that NOBODY is an imposition on time that I set aside to chat! You’re not taking up people’s space, or wasting their time - we are a community, and if you want to vibe with me, then I want to vibe with you!!!
REMINDERRRRRRRR
Compels me though
Right! And then if you do ask for help everything from skincare products to literature yells “you’re growing a new life mama!” - no, I’m 13 and freaking out that these things are bright red and permanent! And now it feels like I’m the edge case!
Every body I have ever seen a lot of has had stretch marks, regardless of gender, shape or status as a parent. You do not need to have been pregnant to have stretch marks. Most stretch marks exist because of other things, even!!!
The next ep. of the Kaleidoscope Podcast (www.inklestudios.com/kaleidoscope) goes up tomorrow - we're speaking to one of AAA gaming's most accomplished writers about her experience of writing under a hostile public eye, about writing with compassion; and about inspiration from theatre and comics
