Just a little poke to the universe that I got laid off from my narrative job and am currently looking for work ( '.')/ I don't have a big long resume because I'm a trans woman without a career pedigree who came out before she entered the workforce and people don't hire those but my writing's good 🫪

Back from my week off tomorrow and desperately desperately in need of work. I’m not getting payments for thing I did, my car is broken down, and I’ve got a big gap in schedule work coming up. In a much tougher position after a vacation than I planned on. If you have any leads on work, let me know

Well. That's me gone from TheGamer too. Six years of service, and I was at least given the dignity of it ending in a phone call. Right after dealing with weeks of institutionalized misogyny too! Thought things might be getting better So. Uh. Looking for work now I guess!

By the way, we’re always on the lookout for writers of interesting gaming features… We are very much indie, and there are also limits to what will fit into a print magazine, but we do pay decent rates! Our standard rate is £300 for a researched 1500 word piece. Transparency is good, folks!
