EA rewards expertise and wild success with layoffs.
When your games get worse, it’s 1000% because of gross and uninformed decisions by execs who don’t care for those who make their success possible, or for the institutional knowledge that allows for future greater games.
This needs to change.
Iran's government is more hardline, its people are poorer and more isolated, the region's on fire, and the global economy feels like its about to go into shock
If you want to know why people wanted to avoid war with Iran for so long, you're finding out in real time

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
I was hoping his Samut would make it in, but no dice. : /
Even if it takes years, we have to bring EVERYONE who made this happen to justice. No moving on, no letting this go.
Revenge is good enough motivation for me personally, but the nobler and important reason is to ensure that anyone who thinks of doing this again knows they’ll rot in prison for it.
Washington defends gender-affirming care against unconstitutional attacks.
Gender-affirming care remains legal and protected in the state of Washington.
Last year, our team secured a preliminary injunction blocking two executive orders that threaten to end federal funding to medical institutions providing gender-affirming care.

We didn't sponsor this and it wasn't even an official prerelease. Eric was just down there playing with some people he happened to know. Just because they tagged us doesn't mean we're involved. #wotcstaff
This is as much a reminder for me as anyone. I keep myself afloat by trying to support anyone in my little sphere of influence. Some days, it's not enough, and I crash out. And that's okay, because as previously established, Things are Fucking Awful. So tomorrow, I try again. Stay the course, y'all.
Hey, things are fucking awful right now. Let yourself mourn the death of reason. Then wake up tomorrow and keep fighting any way you can. Even if it's just being there for people that need you.
The big bad things don't come out of nowhere. They start small and work up. The big good things can too.

it’s a really shitty time to be an empathetic person with insane levels of pattern recognition and an insatiable sense of justice.
be well, y’all ✌️
"A man free of patriarchy is a man who has found not only every woman's humanity, but one who has at last discovered his own. The actual path to liberation for lonely men is feminism—because pursuing an identity based on dominating others is self-isolating."

Literally every country involved in this stupid war has a government I’d love to see removed from power, and for none of them is the right way to do it military action by the other two.
Seems to be the pattern…
the worlds not over
keep taking your meds
keep taking your HRT
keep scheduling surgeries
keep talking to friends
keep eating
keep sleeping
the worlds not over
you're still needed
Hey yall this is your chance to show the trans community you really are an ally and you're not just saying it for brownie points!!
-Do not support ANY of this
-JK Rowling has said on numerous occasions that her income goes DIRECTLY into anti-trans legislation in the UK
-Seriously. NONE. Of it.
Sing, o muse, of the rage of Sanity.
The friends I have made who happen to be trans are some of the most enthusiastic, kind, supportive people I have ever met.
Which seems borderline miraculous given that worthless politicians like these fucks in Kansas are constantly trying to eradicate them. This bullshit cannot stand.
this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.
You rang?
It is DEEPLY humiliating. As a state. As a nation. We are in this position because racists prefer the company of pedophiles to immigrants or people with dark skin. Because some men would cede power to pedophiles so they can enslave women and children.
This is it. Way past time for everyone in this country - literally everyone - to find practical ways to support trans people and immigrants, this regime's primary targets.
Starting right now, find something practical to do to actually help people.
Can't speak to the mechanics, but fr Zaliki should have had a card a decade ago

If @netflix.com drops Susan Rice in response to Trump's bullying, I'm dropping Netflix. If you feel the same way, let Netflix know.
