LASD murdered 18-year-old security guard Andrés Guardado at his place of work, broke all the cameras, broke into the building to steal the DVR and got a warrant for it AFTER THE FACT. Conveniently there we no bodycams 🤔.. DEFUND AND ABOLISH THE POLICE!
UPDATE: came to speak with the manager. Andres ran down the driveway, got on his knees and put his hands behind his head. Then 1 Cop shot him in the back 7 times. They broke all the cameras and took the DVR, which they pulled a warrant for after the fact. Video of this coming
i cannot find the og twitter video featuring this bike and i’m glad i screencapped it for ref bc it’s the only thing i use in totk, it’s incredible. sky islands? no problem. korok transport? easy. landing? sucks, but everything else rules. 9 zonite if you’re missing the parts.
i have been so scared to talk about this publicly, but with the support of the dragon prince community and others who've been treated terribly by aaron ehasz, i feel it's important to share. important threads from yesterday/today linked below. thank you so much for your support.

responding to me saying "now we need papa bear" with "what's up?" like we were talking about him and not the labo piece we were building is probably the cutest waypoint stream moment of all time
Happy to announce I'm now Head of Community Development for Wonderstorm, the company behind the upcoming Netflix show, The Dragon Prince!

rest in peace to the funniest, most resilient person i’ve ever met. the person who gave me the gift of music and taught me how to be myself above all else. i’m so sad you’re gone but so happy you’re no longer in pain. i love you, dad ❤️
i have been sitting on this news for a little bit and wanted to wait until e3 was over before letting people know - my final day at waypoint is this coming monday. i will be relocating to LA in a few weeks to continue doing the work i love doing, brand and community building! —
@Babylonian
we all know you find it unfair that you lost your job over the sexual harassment allegations against you but i hope you realize how much more this cements that you’re a creep who shouldn’t be allowed on this website or any other platform where you can abuse your influence.
there are much, much better people you can give your youtube views, attention and money to than nick robinson. devs and pubs - there are much, much better content creators/writers who can spread the word about your games than nick robinson.

This is disappointing but not surprising, and I hope this emboldens more people to come forward about their experiences. 3 women have come forward about being treated terribly and the main focus of this is The Dragon Prince. Despicable.
tysm everyone for all your kind words today! this weekend has also been hard because tomorrow’s my last time seeing my dad (he’s on hospice and will be going any day now) and all the kind words + getting to hold hands with dad for a while today have made me very happy, thank you
we just had dad’s memorial and it was beautiful and i wanted to share that i made my family put up this photo of him as conan the destroyer right next to his guest book because i knew he’d get a kick out of it
After seeing Aaron’s “I’m thankful for” thread, I have been feeling like I need to speak up more. I am really exhausted but this is SO IMPORTANT!
Lulu and I (and others) suffered workplace abuse, sexism, misogyny and more at Wonderstorm. We were never taken seriously.
when my dad was on his road to dying from cancer, many of you generously donated to our gofundme to help pay for things like medicine, rent, and food for him. 60k. we used the last 2k from that gofundme for his funeral and cremation. that’s how far it stretched.
we need bernie.
employers who force people to come into work when they’re sick or make them physically go and get doctor’s notes do not care about the wellbeing of their employees, period.
@Iioftia
hey i just saw this because another former wonderstorm colleague sent it to me (who is also no longer with the company but isn't ready to talk about it yet) - in my announcement about my new job on my personal facebook i mentioned my exp. at wonderstorm being incredibly --
salary discourse proves that people should be discussing the money they make with their peers. bosses ENCOURAGE silence about salaries to “avoid misunderstandings” - feeding into that by making this a battle of the avg employee instead of a battle with bosses is a mistake
the dragon prince community continues to amaze me with their unity and care, and i will ALWAYS feel blessed to have been able to help foster this community. they’ve directly addressed aaron ehasz and wonderstorm, please share and help make their voices as loud as possible!
Aaron telling a fan via private DMs and using words like “confidentially”... that Claudia is bi... is just a flat out lie. He wrote her as 100% straight. This is so inappropriate and an absolutely disgusting abuse of power over a fan who desperately wanted main cast LGBT+ rep.
Aaron Ehasz told me Claudia is bi and led me to believe there was a real chance she would have a romance with a female character, and led me on for 9 months. every time I expressed doubt or asked for clarification, he'd respond with vague encouragement.

vinny, alex, and brad are such awesome dudes and i can’t wait to see what they do next 💜 you guys have brought me and countless others so much joy over the years through your work at giant bomb (and your friendships) - thank you and good luck!
i guess men flat out denying allegations absolves them from responsibility entirely and completely halts conversation. i am shocked that there are tdp reviews coming out that don’t even touch on the things lulu, diandra, myself and fans presented publicly on twitter.
my dad passed away two weeks ago today... tomorrow is his memorial. my grieving started months ago so this whole process has been so weird.. i miss him so much and i'm so glad i still have voicemails, photos, videos, e-mails, music and more to remember and celebrate him by.
FRIENDS PROTESTING IN LA - POLICE ARE TRYING TO DIRECT CROWDS INTO THE CVS PARKING LOT ON THIRD AND FAIRFAX (per scanner) - THEY HAVE JAIL VANS NEARBY! BE SAFE AND TRY TO AVOID THIRD AND FAIRFAX!
there’s a “thank you danika” waypoint forum thread up and i haven’t logged in to comment yet but someone wrote “TY DH” on the sole of their foot and posted a picture and that’s... that sure is something.... thank you....
the dragon prince creators are doing an AMA on reddit today, and i’m going to recommend that supporters of lulu, diandra, and myself don’t go in and comment about us coming forward. the comments will get downvoted FOR SURE, and it’ll drive aaron’s supporters to twitter -
how many assholes are fuming right now over the first 3 minutes of that last of us trailer? how many of them are swearing they’ll never play the game? hahahahahahahahaha
SO EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE that after more than a YEAR of planning,

grief is really weird and i haven’t figured out how to process losing a parent yet but i’ve been looking at lots of photos from time shared with dad and i have to share this song he wrote in 2013 that he wanted to “sell to one direction” called anime eyes...
i asked instagram if i should post this on twitter and currently there’s 277 votes for yes and 20 for no, so ~ 😚 it may come down at some point but i was feelin myself last night !! let me show off a little thank you

seriously took a chance on me and brought me on as a founding member of waypoint. that changed my life. i'd done cool work before, i've done cool work since, but i've never done work i've been more proud of than the work i did for and with waypoint.
my sister took a bunch of videos of dad playing guitar and singing like... 6 weeks ago. wild how cancer can destroy a person so fast. missing him a lot. most talented guy i’ve ever known!
i feel like dating apps are fake there is no way this many people actually leave the house to do shit like 'hiking' and 'dancing' and 'exploring the city' there is just NO WAY... WHERE ARE THE INTROVERTS???
FINAL THING I FORGOT! we’ll be doing a goodbye danika stream of some jackbox games on monday with the entire team (rob & patrick over voice) so please join us for some fun ❤️ timing TBA but probably in the afternoon!
i was close to him at one point. i remain close to many people he hurt. the fact that anyone continues to give him anything that would benefit him blows my mind.
starting a mass layoff message with “it’s your fault” and ending it with “i’m leaving the games industry” is clear representation of just how much studio owners give a shit about anyone but themselves (spoilers, not at all). hoping everyone affected gets swooped up ASAP.
In a bizarre studio closure and layoff message to staff, Possibility Space owner Jeff Strain blamed the studio closure on employees leaking information to the press.
i haven’t talked about it on here but i’ve been in pretty intense (and very positive) treatment for body dysmorphic disorder since january - i’ve had BDD since i was a child & treatment has been so valuable! related: my therapist prescribed an emotional support dog-meet pepper!
@Iioftia
when i started there were four women there, 3 of us queer women, our voices were not heard when it came to discussions of women, discussions of lgbtq+ characters and themes, and sometimes even jokes were made in response to concerns--
@Iioftia
lulu's experience was much more painful than mine, but witnessing that was one of the first things that made me feel a need to leave the company. it was just so much shutting women down, not taking women seriously, not listening to women, firing a woman and then shit talking her-
is that my bestie… on forbes 30 under 30 🥹
