Hey team! @leighalexander @ashleyriott @AnyaynA and I are giving a talk at @RebootDevelop discussing women's safety in the industry + during events.

We have a survey we're asking industry women to fill out in order to gather insights & better representation

RTs appreciated!

@leighalexander

@leighalexander @ashleyriott @AnyaynA @RebootDevelop The survey takes 15-20 minutes to fill out and asks questions about women's experiences at industry events as well as online and at work, and asks about measures you take to keep safe.

Some questions may be confronting or triggering -- of course feel free to skip them.

@leighalexander

@leighalexander @ashleyriott @AnyaynA @RebootDevelop The talk is called "WTF, It's 2023: Conversations we (still) need to have about being a woman in the games industry".

Your insights and experiences will be used to inform actionable strategies industry leaders and event planners can use going forward.

Appreciate your time <3

got the middle seat on this fifteen hour flight, forgot to book a vegan meal, and the woman next to me just spilled her entire glass of white wine all over my leg, seat and ass

so this trip is going well

my apologies to the next three passengers for my alcoholic stench

updates for your entertainment:

I pushed the call attendant button to get napkins to attempt to dry myself+my seat

we immediately hit turbulence and the seatbelt sign came on and the attendants came past but just said BUCKLE UP BOYOS* and left

*not verbatim

when the attendant came down the aisle next time to collect trash she took a look at the call light, leaned over and turned it off, then kept walking

me: oh

We've had quite a few responses to the Women's Safety & Inclusivity in the Games Industry survey.

Not gonna lie, reading the responses made me cry. Marginalised folks are still dealing with so much. Every day. It needs to change.

Survey still open here: bit.ly/reboot_questio…

What has struck me most is how close to the surface the pain and the struggle to contain and manage that pain is.

Every day women are making a million decisions about their physical and emotional safety in the work place.

About maintaining employment by not calling shit out.

Or calling shit out in hopes of making the industry a better place&having to deal with fear of consequences. Not just short term consequences or long term consequences.

And god, the million steps women take to just not get drugged, assaulted, abducted... this is real. Every day.

i continue to be absolutely shocked by how little people get paid in contrast to their level of professional responsbilities

and to be shocked how rarely people make efforts to find new jobs in which they're not exploited

PLEASE KNOW you should apply for roles you don't hit 100% of the "requirements" for

apply even if you have a couple less years experience than requested

if you feel confident you could pick needed skills up, APPLY

the worst that can happen is a no.

the best is life-changing.

so many people making insane $$$ i know are people who shot their shot

it only takes ONE yes

don't spam applications. but look for jobs you hit 70% of the requirements for that pay stupidly more than you make. and write good letters for those

ONE YES. that's all it takes.

i make horror to bear witness

so many turn from the ugliness of the world because it hurts too much

but it leaves those who cannot turn from it because they exist within it so very, very alone

standing with someone in the horror even when it is not your own is an act of love

i don't begrudge those who have to turn from it

but a lot of people think people who are into horror or make it are some deranged sadism-loving beings

when actually horror as a genre can perform a deepest form of empathy

the pleasure comes in solidarity against suffering

when i was a young girl a teacher sat the class down while i was gone and warned the kids about my "dark mind"

i wrote, unflinching, about bad things

i did it not because my mind was "dark" but because i wanted to understand the darkness, how it came to be
