Hey friends - my time at Heart Machine is ending after nearly 6 years. It’s difficult to say goodbye to a studio that has seen so much growth in myself and others.

If you know of any studios hiring for audio lead or senior roles, please send them my way. DMs are open!

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

Sorry for being gauche but if you want to get invested in media about witches that isn’t racist garbage that enables a transphobe, check out a game made by a majority of trans people including yours truly. Bonus it helps fund my hopeful escape from this hell.

Look at the bravery of these folks.

And then look at the cowardice of the thugs. Watch them flee once they've been inconvenienced.

These are petulant children cosplaying as "warriors".

Resistance comes in many forms - making things inconvenient for the fascists is often incredibly effective.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

It’s official: EA is going private.

The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years.

Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents.

It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually.

This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.
