October Releases! There’s a whole new batch (or should we say patch? 🎃) of games releasing this month, some spookier than others. 👻 What will you be adding to your backlog? #videogames #gaming #indiegame #castlevania #ghostsofyotei

On Jacob Geller

I'm aware of the rape allegations against Jacob Geller, as well as the fact that his name is on a court-ordered list of UNC students disciplined for sexual violence. I've hesitated on whether to post anything about it, because the victim hasn’t been identified and I don’t want to participate in a retraumatizing conversation against their wishes. At the same time, as someone who has collaborated with Jacob Geller, I do not want my silence to be taken as endorsement.

For my part, I did not know about this and I wish I had. What justice and repair look like in cases like these are for the victim to decide, and I do not know their wishes or what accountability processes, if any, took place. However, strictly on a personal level, I’m uncomfortable having collaborated with someone who has presented himself as a nonthreatening feminist without ever disclosing his history of sexual violence to me or any other colleagues I’ve spoken to. I have no intention of ever working with Geller again. Beyond that, the person this happened to ought to be the ultimate authority on what happens next, and how they wish to tell their story if at all.

I looked up to you as a Jewish creator. I respected your willingness to speak up against genocide. I respected you for covering Jewish topics that NEVER get attention. I'm beyond disappointed, but mostly angry. This is just another reminder that predators can look and speak like any normal person.

Against her will, this has been brought to light, and I cannot imagine what it must feel like for her to relive it. My heart goes out to her and everyone you've now dragged into the situation by working with you.

Redemption keeps coming up in comments as an excuse to keep watching your work, but you never fully faced your crime. You collaborated with folks and misled them about your past, unfortunately dragging them into your mess. Your victim has had to live with the consequences of your crime.

I don't know the extent of your punishment, but I guarantee it wasn't enough, given how easily you could sell this positive image of yourself in leftist spaces. I am a Jewish researcher and writer, and I have often shared your work with those in my community. I am sickened. Never again.

However, let's not pretend this wasn't to your benefit. You gained your audience's trust through your carefully constructed online image. The people here who excuse you and your actions are unbelievable (not really because *gestures*, but you get my drift).

Emily 🪬🍉🏳️‍🌈 @songofthenight.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Your entire platform was built on, and profits directly from, your carefully curated image as an empathetic, intelligent, and kind individual. Your victim's privacy is paramount, so I acknowledge that you cannot fully disclose your crimes to your audience or those you work with.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)
