The irony being that the Apex book we wrote full of queer stories is probably 100% banned in Saudi Arabia.

I assume that’s what this is all about.

I didn’t know Kushner wanted so badly to see if BT was alive or not.

Rich People and Pundits Really Do Not Want Zohran Mamdani to Be Mayor

But while Cuomo allies and the assorted opinion sections may not like what Mamdani has to offer, large swaths of the people of New York certainly do.

Hello! I’m still very much looking for a job and would love any leads or recs if you happen to have them.

The quick rundown: I’m a Narrative Writer who spent the last few years on Apex Legends and wrote the most recent Legend SPARROW. Prior to that it was all misc Hollywood writing & acting. 💘

Heather Woodward @heatherwoodward.bsky.social · Apr 29

Well, this is awkward but… I was just mass-downsized at Respawn. These things happen and my time with Apex has been a top to bottom blast, my favorite job I’ve ever had.

It’s been a true joy to write Sparrow, I’ll continue to be insufferable about him for weeks to come.

The success of a company’s culture is a leadership responsibility. RTO is meaningless if the leadership doesn’t develop & maintain the culture.

Apex thrived during the pandemic because of the culture we created & evolved with trust, passion, listening, caring, respecting, admiring, & inspiring.

I feel like if you’re not watching Andor by this point, then you’re most likely the world’s biggest dork with circle-framed glasses.

Unrelated life update: I just got circle-framed glasses… I look like a dork.

I worked with Kevin for a few years on Apex. Hilarious, intuitive, and strong writer. Anyone who gets to work with him would be better because of it!

Kevin Lee @kevinkevinleelee.bsky.social · Apr 29

Welp, I got caught up in the EA layoffs. If you know of a writer role out there, I'm your guy. 👈😎👈

Question….

If I don’t have a 12 page thesis to share on “What It Takes To Be A Game Dev”, can I still be on LinkedIn?

Heather is an incredible writer, collaborator, and extremely talented in so many ways.

Any team would be lucky to have her.

If anyone is hiring, I will gladly talk your head off about my admiration for this talent.
