Rest in Peace Rachael Lillis. Thank you for voicing my childhood and being the voice of my all time favorite character There's a link in the thread of the qrt where you can donate! Funds are going to her medical bills and memorial service. Donate/share the link if you can!

Read this sentence, then read it again. Israel has shown it’s capable of precision strikes for assassinations, but when targeting a school they know is full of civilians the weapons used are so powerful that not a single body is left intact. Children’s bodies torn to shreds.

This was way better. Why do y’all throw a bitch fit every time we critique her? If it makes her adjust her political calculus that’s exactly what needs to happen. She’s not our cool auntie or whatever the fuck. She’s interviewing to be our employee.

“No Olympic athletes are going to get Long Covid! It’s been 4 years and I don’t know anyone who has Long Covid!” Yes. You do. Many people don’t disclose their disabilities for fear of ableist backlash. Others don’t connect the dots and may not realize they have Long Covid 🧵/1

Final Shape’s staggering success really does the work in proving that it’s always been exceedingly awful management to blame, through and through.

Agreed: boycotting Destiny 2 isn’t the answer. Demanding @pparsons step down & our devs unionizing is.

@GCXEvent panel schedule?

This is part of what transphobia was always leading to: policing cis women who fall outside narrower and narrower lines.

posting this again for no reason

What type of message does it send to those affected & those remaining when our devs cook THIS HARD only to be sacrificed for c-suite salaries? This is a cardinal failure in leadership.

how could you not support them I simply do not understand

I wrote this a few months ago assuming I’d be laid off eventually. I was not, but I’m posting it anyways: I’m writing this a few days after the metacritic and other scores for The Final Shape was released. I know what is coming, so I want to be clear in my mind as I write this.

I remember the Friday before the first layoffs, me and another CM were in the lobby and I was literally talking about how I didn't have enough money for groceries and that employee services was an angel for helping me have food since I was told to drop all of my side jobs when Chew got laid off. Pete walked right up to us and bragged about a few new EXPENSIVE cars he bought and that we should come to his house and see them. After hearing how we weren't making enough money (we did not make Dylan's money, Dylan was senior and we were not allowed to go for any senior roles without our department - he also made shit money when he first started - the pay was atrocious if you were in soft skills) I remember looking right at them and being like "Was that weird, why couldn't he look us in the eye" and just having a bad feeling. I was told I was being too paranoid, but it didn't sit right. Cue Monday morning getting an HR invite at 6 am - even though I said specifically I would never talk to HR without a manager present due to horrible interactions with the head of HR there (she's gone, thankfully). When I couldn't get a response on what the meeting was, I knew. Then I started digging. And I have not stopped digging since October. There's so much more to this that won't come out for a few more years to protect people, but I just want to say this: This falls squarely on leadership. There were amazing members of leadership, Joe and Catarina among them, but the problem at the top has been a problem since the 90s. How QA has been treated, how the devs have been treated - If you dared to ask any questions about "Hey, this doesn't seem right" you were instantly labeled " Anti-Bungie. Some members of LT didn't want a studio, they wanted a cult to worship their legacy. So we're going to take your legacy, because it is owed. ESPECIALLY the people you threw away that have spent their entire careers - some close to 20 years - with you. For you. In spite of themselves.

*Don't* call it Twitter guys.

There are only 15 Palestinians competing in the Olympics this year because “israel” murdered 342 professional Palestinian athletes in the past 10 months…
