Today I learned BDG was laying me off via a FB email stating I'm no longer an admin on the Mic page, then hours later via an official call. I'm one of ~70 workers BDG unceremoniously laid off today—the 3rd round of layoffs in 5 months.
I'm open for work, but more on that later.

Well, after 5.5 years at Elite Daily and BDG, I was part of the mass layoffs today.
The people were what made every day a joy, and I will sorely miss my talented coworkers and friends!
(P.S. A lot of brilliant people were laid off today — hire them!)

This isn't my first layoff, but it's my first from a job I loved. I lost my job along with dozens of others today. Inverse is full of unbelievably kind and curious and talented people struggling under cruel and capricious management and I'm going to miss being there with them.

Well, after an incredible 1.5 years, BDG has decided it is done with Gawker 2.0. Can't say enough about how proud I am of the site and all the brilliant people who worked to create it, and what a staggering shame this is. I had an absolute blast, and I love you.

I'm incredibly excited and honored to announce that I won the Journalism award for my Elden Ring piece exploring how disabled players completed the newest FromSoft game. These games are notorious for being inaccessible, and I wanted to disprove that.

Today, The Washington Post laid off 20 of our colleagues.
While 20 is much smaller than 200 — “a single digit percentage of the workforce,” as Publisher Fred Ryan indicated, that’s little consolation to those who lost their jobs today.
That number should be zero.
