The support I received after my GDC talk was tremendous, and it reinforced my belief that we can change the narrative about Palestine through games. That’s why I’m now working with a team of professionals to create Dreams on a Pillow, a game you can support today Support on: launchgood.com/1948

In case you missed this yesterday - this project is incredibly important and dear to me. The developer, @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social, is potentially in danger for insisting on making this game, but he refuses to back down because backing down would mean not telling this story.

After years away from game dev, I couldn’t stay silent about my people’s dehumanization. I made Dreams on a Pillow 🍉a game inspired by a famous Palestinian folktale about the 1948 Nakba. I’m crowdfunding it now—please back & share! 🔗 launchgood.com/1948

While Bluesky looks like other social apps on the surface, it’s actually quite different. It’s an open network. I blogged about it here:

best use of AI yet? UK mobile operator O2 has created a human-like AI “Granny” to answer calls in real time from fraudsters, wasting as much of their time as possible 😅 news.virginmediao2.co.uk/o2-unveils-d...

Hi Supporters, We have an important announcement. 2024 has been a scary year, especially independent outlets like ours. We had to make a decision we've held off on doing since we started this journey. Please read our Letter from the Editor about the BWT's future. butwhytho.net/2024/11/lett...

I made a Black women in tech starter pack because I couldn’t find one and it annoyed me. go.bsky.app/5upv7SQ

A lot of the game dev Starter Packs are *very* light on Black game developers. I know we're only ~5% of the industry, but STILL! 🤭 👀 Peep this Starter Pack to help fix that. We'll be adding more devs as they join Bluesky. go.bsky.app/TKGP8JR
