What do games have to do w racism? 

Any game dev should be able to answer this. Luckily there’s great research out there. During 10 days, I break down studies on games & racism 1 thread a day. My words, random order, it's all useful stuff.

Today is my level up day. 51 should give me a god-tier power set but alas, I’m still a mere human. If you can, I ask that you do an act of kindness today. Fill someone’s ko-fi, chip in to their project, Patreon, or many of the mutual aid requests seen on here or 🦋✌🏾🥃🎂

@pyrofoux amazing initiative! 👏💕

The games industry's silence on the Palestinian genocide is disgusting, and this needs to change. To all gamedevs: Please read our letter to The Game Awards, sign it, and share it as much as you can. Palestinians need all the support we can give ✊🏽🇵🇸 📩forms.gle/oxnB1PKMxVuYUJ…

8. Avi Shlaim, Israeli-British professor at Oxford University: “Most of the anti-Zionism statements that I’ve come across are reasonable, evidence-based and legitimate.”

A 🧵 to DESTROY the claim that criticism of Israel equates to hatred of Jews as a people or Judaism as a religion - newsflash: It has NOTHING to do with anti-semitism! 🤦🏼‍♀️ In fact, some of the most passionate support for the Palestinian cause and harshest critique of Israel has come from Jews all around the world, DESPITE facing intimidation and abuse from fanatical Zionists! 👏🏻❤️ If you have any pictures, videos or tweets that speaks the point of this thread then please share them in the comments so I can add them as well! 🙏🏻 1. Muslim woman and Holocaust survivor Suzanne in Canada protesting against Israeli crimes in Gaza ❤️

I'm so excited for this conference! esp. kicking off day 1 with @OutiKaarina on how we are approaching racial/ethnic power relations in our research collaborations. What can academic solidarity look like, given the impact of white supremacy on each step of the way?

Heartbreaking. Kids shouting "please see us as human too" basically & the world thinks it's up for debate. It is not. If you're thinking "yes, but..." you need to check yourself. Apartheid isn't a grey area. Bombing & starving civilians also not a grey area. #FreePalestineNow

@Astridmrefstrup fantastic! 💕

12/16 Hope this helps others (esp. at high ranked uni's) rethink university ranking and take some action, But also have the big discussions around assessment, open science and equity, including effects of (neo)colonialism in ranking. collections.unu.edu/eserv/UNU:9082… @t_nassiri @dcmccoy11
