I’m *still* feeling the effects, financial especially, of that decision some asshole suits made. They should legit count themselves blessed that by month 9 of unemployment I had not self-immolated on Riot’s front steps. But the studio made an enemy for life and I will die spitting venom about them.

That got me an answer, at least: it was nothing to do with me and everything to do with the studio’s ontologically evil c-suite acting without thought or care to whose lives they ruined. And they *had* ruined mine. I’d end up being unemployed for 9 months as the game industry burned down.

I could not get my old job back. Riot had forced me into unemployment in what we now know to be the worst job market in industry history.
I finally found Riot’s Head of People on LinkedIn and sent her a 2000-word message explaining in detail how badly they had fucked me and asked them to explain.

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.
2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

The historical lesson of Nazism is to destroy Nazis before they get control of the government. We should actually follow the lesson, but we are not.

ANYONE leaving MAGA at this point, is only upset about one thing...and they were okay with ALL THE REST.
Or, they're using one thing to bail on someone who's 'not harming the right people!!!!' meaning leopards ate their face.
They still want the evils they voted for.

"Covid avoidance is for the disabled" narrative doesn't help disabled people, especially in an ableist world.
It gives the masses who think they're abled license to think "I'm healthy! I don't need a mask!"
"You're healthy, so it's okay to get HIV!" 🙃
*EVERYONE* SHOULD WEAR N95!

I know theres a narrative around wearing a mask to protect disabled people.
I'm going to be real for a second.
That's not why I wear a mask.
I wear a kn95 or a kf94 to protect myself.
That I might also be protecting others is just a side benefit.

40 years later… And the thing is, we already have mountains of data NOW that show what COVID does to brains. Why can’t we acknowledge it? Why can’t we face it? Why can’t we say it?
