@Gingerhazing I'm really sorry this is happening. I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for Entrapta and Hordak <3

Unfortunately, we’ve known about this for a while, and it’s already happened to several other Dreamworks shows as their licenses with Netflix expire. Years of hard work by many talented crews have ended up without a home. We showrunners have no control over this.

@falloutplays my partner and i bought our first house just a couple of years ago and we closed Oct 30th. you better believe on the 31st we didn't have a bed or cutlery but we were giving out full sized snickers

This is my first year ever living in a house of my own and I'm so god damned excited to get trick or treaters. Gonna give those little bastards FULL sized candy bars. I'm gonna be THAT house, baby, LET'S GO

@TheRandoAwards @aptshadow Aw heck, thanks!!!

@Sphynxian Oh that rules, congratulations!!!

Today feels like an appropriate time to make an exciting announcement. I've accepted a role as Senior Quest Designer at CDPR on Project Orion! Looking forward to telling some amazing Cyberpunk stories with amazing people!🦾✨

I'm pretty sure I just saw Khalil Rountree's brain leak out his nose during that post fight interview Jesus Christ #UFC307

And I quote, "I kept saying 'Natalie please shut the fuck up,' and you would not, under any circumstances, shut the fuck up." I feel extremely seen.

Last night @jairuskhan.bsky.social dreamt he & I and some of our friends had been kidnapped by aliens, but they were really only after him, and so he was valiantly trying to convince them to let the rest of us go. -- however I would not stop "mouthing off and insulting them."

emerging from my Six Months of Suffering Trying to Finish This Fucking Book feeling like Truth coming out of her well to shame mankind but much more awkward and disoriented

@AndreaGStewart eeee happy book birthday!!!

THE GODS BELOW is out in the US today! My fourth published book and the start of a new series. It’s darker than the last one, but it wouldn’t be me if there weren’t silver strands of hope woven through this post-apocalyptic tapestry. Can’t wait to share this journey with you ❤️

I accept this one as canon on the grounds that it's very funny

There are two parts to this lecture, and the whole thing is extraordinary -- it's about computers and futurism, but just as much about problem-solving and beautiful skullduggery.

@BenGalley This image stole my lunch money

This is the way

I was looking high and low for Carmen Sandiego on this bitch

The Cookie Clicker guy was so real for this.

@HazelMonforton Aiat 🖤

God appearing to me in the form of the familiar

@Sphynxian I am so sorry this happened to you,you are rad and hell and so talented and deserve every good thing <3

After nearly five years, delivering seasonal story from Hunt all the way to Deep and sending home the most well-received expansion in our history in Final Shape, I have been laid off and today is my last day at Bungie. What a long, strange trip it's been.

Recruiters: @HazelMonforton, @xXKocoboXx, and @Sphynxian (Please add if I'm missing anyone!!!!) are some of THE BEST of the best when it comes to storytelling and narrative. They were DIE-HARD loyal to Bungie, you will not get an opp to scoop talent like this up again. TAKE IT.

Sometimes I get really stuck in my head about it and of course there are The Agonies, but getting to write books and basically live the life I dreamed about when I was 13 is pretty fucking rad.
