god finding this is like stumbling across a buried USB drive in the woods. bizarre

I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking.

I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

Those at #GDC this year, please use the platform to speak and further discussion among attendees & organizers about those of your peers who have been systematically frozen out of participation through no fault of their own.

We need to work on solutions to this, and accessibility of the vault.

NO NO NO YOU DON’T

Hi everyone, Israel-US attacks ok Iran have deliberately targeted hospitals and other medical centres (14 sites confirmed by WHO)

This is important because not only is it a warcrime to attack a hospital, but bc of the sanctions, it will be near impossible to get the equipment they need to rebuild

How Pixar’s Open Sexism Ruined My Dream Job (Guest Column) A former Pixar employee writes that after John Lasseter's departure, the company still has a lot of work to do to fix its sexist culture.

If you're wondering how bad things were at Pixar for women, the answer is pretty horrifyingly bad.

Pixar’s Pete Docter Says Queer ‘Elio’ Storyline Was Axed Because “We’re Making A Movie, Not Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars Of Therapy” Pixar Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter explained the animation company's decision to ax a queer storyline in last year's Elio.

Am I surprised that a man who was able to thrive at a company where women weren't allowed in the same room as the boss, because he'd grope them, appears to have no ethical backbone? Not even a little.

For everyone freaking out, Important detail please read. There’s literally no way to have avoided this, they didn’t just hand shit to the FBI. They were literally subpoenaed by the Swiss govt to give a credit card, that is totally different than what this makes it sound like

This is exactly what the Israelis did for two years in Gaza. Mass displacement under threat of indiscriminate bombing.

Today, some of WCK’s trucks made it through the Gaza border. Our founder José Andrés has more: “Some of our trucks made it through the Gaza border today, which is good news. Every day we need more trucks and more food so we can keep feeding hungry families." #ChefsForGaza (1/2)

I'm amazed that I've seen or heard no mention of this all day, but 75 years of chaos -- and often killing -- in and around Iran and, arguably, around the Middle East all started when the United States caused regime change in Iran! www.history.com/this-day-in-...

The US and Israel are bombing Iran. Anyone reporting it as “preventive” is engaging in propaganda, by definition. There is no interpretation of what’s happening as anything else than a crime.

You don’t have to like the Iranian regime to understand why this is bad.

At least 24 girls reported killed in strike on school in southern Iran Dozens of children aged between seven and 12 hit in attack on Minab city

Don't miss the news that an Israeli missile destroyed an Iranian girls' primary school, murdering at least 25 girls between 7 and 12 years old. At this point it might just be muscle memory for the Israeli military.

A war no one asked for, started in an attempt to improve a president’s poll numbers, and now children we allegedly want to free are dead.

Nothing to see here, just the 'elbows up Canada' prime minister jumping to support an illegal war declared overnight by the border country who is constantly threatening to assert its power over us and killed a school full of young girls during Ramadan. Normal fucking government move.

DO NOT LET ANY MEMBER OF CONGRESS WALK AROUND THINKING THEIR CONSTITUENTS DON’T CARE
