Melissa Phillips (She/Her) @melphillips.bsky.social · 4hOne of the creepiest things i’ve found about the Cornell case has been men worldwide just simply outing themselves on social media. Fathers, doctors, your average neighbour just wading in with the most unhinged takes of “But Women…!” Does the world really hate women this much? 050
Reposted by Melissa Phillips (She/Her)Mike Bithell @mikebithell.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Seriously. Even if you are a monster, a person driven to hurt other people, an absolute piece of shit… Even THEN all the data demonstrates that prolonged crunch lowers productivity. Those who cling to it are ignorant, and with the evidence available, actively and intentionally so. 927839
Reposted by Melissa Phillips (She/Her)Jaime Cross @speedyjx.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I really REALLY need game devs, and especially those who are in higher up positions, indie or otherwise, to clue into the fact that crunching away for weeks or months of a time is neither normal nor something you should wear as a badge of honour. 137055

Melissa Phillips (She/Her) @melphillips.bsky.social · 25/08/2026The more R&D Grant Specialists that reach out to me offering “amazing opportunities for government funding” the more I am convinced it’s all a scam and feel weird about applying for these things… 🙃 120
Melissa Phillips (She/Her) @melphillips.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Always fascinated when a new “CEO does weird thing” story breaks because I’m actually a bit fed up with it all… Creative Passion doesn’t always bring with it great Leadership and I’m done clutching my pearls pretending to be shocked when the same story repeats itself over and over. 140
