Check out my latest article on Queer Video Games and how they're a form of critical structuration!

@raeekayassaie @BritLGBTAwards @Shell @bp @HSBC_UK @Macquarie @BNPParibas While queer, I'm not a celebrity 😅 I work in video games 🎮
I think there may be a different Josh Rivers you're trying to reach 😉

[Josh Rivers 🏳️‍🌈 @Josh_Rivers]

Actually me.

it’s hard being engaged to me

@Icelandair You may want to let your research team know that the survey logic on their post flight survey isn't working correctly. When you click the categories you were pleased or displeased with, it ignores those and asks about onboard service.

Nothing convinces me more that my decision to leave academia was the right one than reading the utter fear in untenured TT and adjunct professors' tweets as this semester starts back up.
Y'all deserve way better than this.

@Icelandair I ended up checking in at the airport. No big deal, but a bit scary!

[Josh Rivers 🏳️‍🌈 @Josh_Rivers]

@Icelandair Um. Please fix your Check-In.

[Josh Rivers 🏳️‍🌈 @Josh_Rivers]

This is the kind of long-game trolling I'm here for.

[Josh Rivers 🏳️‍🌈 @Josh_Rivers]

@acnzimmer It's back?!

[Josh Rivers 🏳️‍🌈 @Josh_Rivers]

@Icelandair Mostly interested in flights from KEF to ORD in May then from IAD to KEF in July. Any idea what the schedule is there? No offense, but I don't trust the booking tool to be accurate.

[Josh Rivers 🏳️‍🌈 @Josh_Rivers]

@Icelandair - You removed your flight schedule from your website. Why? We all know you're not flying every single day, knowing what day I'm actually able to fly on would be nice.
Please bring the flight schedule back.

[Josh Rivers 🏳️‍🌈 @Josh_Rivers]

@Posturinn - Why is this article, which clearly and tangibly impacts foreigners living in Iceland, not only not translated to English, but not even present on the English website in any form?

Any idea on the accuracy of this from the Francophone folks here? Is there a backlash? Is it rooted in racism and colonial thought veiled as Anti-American sentiment? https://t.co/o5tQuHXj1m

@unambivalence I went on a bit of a shopping spree that still has yet to end. Retail therapy really worked for me in a sense and finally having the means to not worry about every cent was and remains exhilarating

mewtwo had the correct reaction to being forced into existence. it was on sight

@Nick_Lalone This, very much. I also find myself slipping into a slightly Europeanized accent when talking to non native English speakers. Kinda developed because I found myself repeating myself over and over when using my standard accent.

This is everything we need this holiday season.

[Mohammad Hussain @MohammadHussain]

Growing up, my Muslim family never celebrated Christmas. This year I am not going home, because pandemic, so my roommates are teaching me how to have my first proper Christmas.

I am approaching this with anthropological precision.

Here are a few observations.

[Josh Rivers 🏳️‍🌈 @Josh_Rivers]

This is not normal.
This is blatant fascism in action.
And yet, it's unsurprising.

There will be no update today.

At 8:30 am this morning, state police came into my house and took all my hardware and tech.

They were serving a warrant on my computer after DOH filed a complaint.

They pointed a gun in my face. They pointed guns at my kids..

@anarparikh Happy to send you my recent resume converted from my CV if you think it could be helpful :) It's for a job in games, so it's kinda particular in its own ways, but still :)

[Josh Rivers 🏳️‍🌈 @Josh_Rivers]

@GamerAnthro Definitely a bit early for people stateside. But it's recorded and should be accessible after the "premiere" on SIGs YouTube channel.

[Josh Rivers 🏳️‍🌈 @Josh_Rivers]

Looking forward to this. Accessible, free, and entirely online, come learn about my work on Friday 📚🎓🎮

[Fenris Creations @FenrisCreations]

Join Josh Rivers, Player Researcher, this Friday at #GRUXonline speaking about #CCPgames design processes and how research from non-industry professionals can bolster industry endeavours.
