Woke up to an email that I’ve been let go from Dot Esports and Gamurs this morning effective immediately. I’ve just bought a house and I’m getting married next year. So, I’m looking for work…. (RTs appreciated)

But will Gayming Magazine this week address the thousands it owes its previous employees in unpaid wages years later? Of course it won't. Its EIC is too busy hiding away and praying that it'll all blow over if he shuts his eyes tight enough.

Just a reminder: I'm open to freelance work, with the rest of June and July fairly quiet right now! Here are some of the pieces I've been working on the last couple of months (because I forget to share here). There's a good range here: 🧵

For an idea of how bad things have been. Like this tweet if you’ve been affected by games media layoffs/redundancies in the past two years.

Writing for Edge has always been a career goal of mine, so to see my first ever piece for them in this month’s issue is a dream come true 🖤 Sorry if you’ve seen this on other platforms too but I am very excited.
