On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city.

This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.

Just focusing on the title, it's crazy how an Israeli newspaper uses less passive voice than the rest of mainstream western media.
It should be intolerable that this is a daily occurrence.

With how many layoffs we’ve had over the past several years, remote work should be the default. Requiring relocation at this point is unreasonable for the risk that we’re just going to get laid off two months, six months, a year in.

Governor Newsom may defend us in speech, but he's voting to kill.

His proposed budget for 2026 targets elderly, disabled, and undocumented Californians, and strips them of access to healthcare.

A fantastic mutual aid group I volunteer for is doing a vendor buy-out to protect folks from ICE raids! Donations go directly to families to help them afford to stay off the streets
Thanks to all the support, we’ve been able to help 23 families stay safe so far! Thank you for sharing 💜♥️
Organizers in LA are raising money to do tamale buyouts from local tamale vendors who are unable to safely vend on the street due to ICE kidnapping vendors. The tamales will be distributed to unhoused neighbors. Please consider donating — I personally vouch for this one: venmo.com?txn=pay&audi...

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

With #Blocktober coming to a close, I wanted to compile all the incredible work our level design team at Respawn posted this year!

We don’t get to share our work very often and we were happy to have a chance to give you a peak behind the curtain of Jedi: Survivor.🧵(1/7)

I made a big #Blocktober post about Jedi: Survivor on the other site. Would've loved to post here but it's all videos and gifs. Here's the link!

Greetings!
It's Blocktober & I'm excited to show you some of my work from Jedi: Survivor.  Specifically the opening to Jedha.
Everything in GD is a team effort.  In these areas you see the work of Env. Artists Nate Rulli & Brain Gao and Lighting by Sam Santillo.

A good time to make an intro post 😎 -- I'm a level designer @Respawn Entertainment that worked on STAR WARS: Jedi: Survivor! I also might post some amateur drawings I do in my spare time. Stay tuned for some cool #Blocktober threads tomorrow 👀👀
