Enjoyed a nice 12 days off from work. But now it is time to go home, do laundry and then tomorrow is work

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

STJV statement: "Unions have always faced repression, the last resort of the weak to try to delay what is bound to happen... The STJV stands with IWGB Game Workers and all workers at Rockstar. We demand immediate reintegration for all our fired comrades, in the United Kingdom and in Canada.”

STJV demonstrate outside the Paris offices of Take Two, holding flags, banners and flares.

Protests continued today outside Take Two's offices in London, but also in Paris, where Le Syndicat des Travailleureuses du Jeu Vidéo (@stjv.fr) came out to show their international solidarity with the fired Rockstar workers.

This afternoon, IWGB Game Workers joined together with unions from all over Europe, including @stjv.fr and @csvi-cgt.bsky.social to protest against Rockstar's union busting in Paris - on est là!

We, the workers at Bethesda Games Studios, express our solidarity and support for the developers at Rockstar Games. Last month’s firings in the UK and Canada were a clear and disgusting case of union busting.

Just fucking insane to see the absolute (intentional) collapse of full remote jobs available for AAA studios in so short a time. Why would I EVER move for a job again when I could be laid off weeks after moving my entire life across the globe??

We won't let Rockstar break our union and we won't be intimidated - support our campaign here:

Today the British union IWGB said it has filed formal legal claims against Rockstar Games for firing 30+ employees two weeks ago, as Bloomberg first reported. Rockstar said the employees were leaking information. The IWGB calls it union-busting. More to come as the legal process plays out...

“Say sorry, be nice is a Rockstar slogan, it has been for many, many years. At least in this instance, it doesn’t seem like the company is interested in living by it.”

This wasn’t about leaking GTA VI.

It was:
Rockstar illegally firing union members to stop the studio from unionizing.

it directly contradicts Rockstar’s PR narrative and confirms almost everything that people suspected was going on.

just look outside your window 😅

stealing paintings from museums will soon be considered just another tool in the artist's toolbelt

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

I forgot to reply! Sorry! I haven’t done any ttrpgs in about years now. I struggle with doing it online. Last one was just D&D. But previously i played a world of darkness ruleset that was all about your roleplaying ability. That was cool

Ah nice. Moving house is stressful but I’m glad you’re settling in! Any particular TTRPG? I’m more of a fan of the non-combat ones (controversial). I’m at Frontier these days, making creative sandbox games. I actually found the stickers you made and gave out in Porto the other day!

They’re going ok, work is stressful but we don’t need to think about that at the weekend. Thanks for asking. How about you?

Hey bluesky

I’m so happy for everyone at ZA/UM!

now where i am from when someone in your office has an accuracy rate of 57.2 percent in editing spreadsheets we call them "fired"

i think my internet is broken, i keep scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and yet it solves nothing? nothing's getting better? maybe i am simply not scrolling enough

A radiant purple thistle coming out of an artichoke. One chonky bumble bee is sleeping inside of it.

I let some of the artichokes I'm growing in the garden bloom, and the bumble butts have taken to sleeping in the radiant purple thistles that come up.

We saw five bumble butts in one artichoke once!

But in Greta Thunberg’s voice
