Research on gender faces growing pressure worldwide — a reality game studies scholars know well, from #Gamergate to ongoing harassment. PhD candidates Tom Legierse and Ida Martine Gard Rysjedal call for a network of care among gender and games researchers.

For the past decade, I've been slowly cooking a small and humble book.
Part (alternative) history, part analysis, and part social critique, this is a look at what games also are and have always been.

Y'all, I know two hours is a big time commitment, but this panel I arranged and hosted last month is one of the most important things I've ever done for video game history. The launch of the NES is a crazier story than most people realize, and my guests were extremely generous with their memories.
Hear about the NES US launch 40 years ago from the people that made it happen: Gail Tilden, Bruce Lowry and Lance Barr with @frankcifaldi.bsky.social from the @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social moderating! Panel recording at youtu.be/f2WDfsiLiRA

A BA is always a good idea 😌
I don’t know about you but I sincerely believe that Zohran Mamdani’s BA Major in Africana Studies enabled him to understand our current conjuncture & its demands of justice. Humanities shape minds & in his case for the better.
I know white tech bros disagree as they continue to collapse our worlds.

Fierté du territoire, des valeurs, puis : fierté tout court. Tout du long, sa campagne a été enthousiaste, motivée, joyeuse, pleine d'énergie : elle n'a pas mobilisé les émotions négatives que l'on retrouve beaucoup à gauche (colère, peur, amertume...), parce qu'on se sent souvent impuissants.

Il l'a fait. Dans un pays en proie à la mafia trumpiste, Zohran Mamdani est devenu maire de New York. Pas la peine de faire des comparaisons foireuses avec la politique française ; en revanche, il y a des leçons à tirer de cette victoire progressiste, pour toutes les démocraties.

"The Founding Fathers who owned slaves are so fucking cool, man! Black actors played them while rapping, so obviously America, a nation founded on genociding Indigenous people and subjugating Black people, isn't racist!" 🙃🙃🙃🙃
are we allowed to talk about how Hamilton is good again yet or is that still, like, off limits

Decolonisation and knowledges of decolonisation produced outside academia supersede the fraction of knowledge pooled in by academia on the topic. This realisation, not a hindrance in the labour of epistemic decolonisation, invites us to engage other formations of knowledge.
