To anyone who sees this. My brother Dan has been missing for 6 months. We are going to be pushing his name and face hard again, particularly in Cornwall where he disappeared - please share and help us, words cannot express our despair

Here for all of my incredible colleagues across Sumo following today’s news. Please reach out if you need a shoulder to lean on, or an ear to just listen.

This is awful. It’s okay to feel however you feel. Let’s support each other through the next few weeks. ❤️

community managers consistently handle so much negativity online with grace, protecting dev teams that often underpay and discredit their work too

now they’re facing targeted abuse

step up for them the way they step up for you and your hard work every day. its rough out there x

[Chris Groves 🫧 @OtpChris]

Refuse to give hateful people the validation and attention they crave. Just figuring out how to best support friends and peers.

If you need/want to talk/vent, will keep an eye on DMs.

Stay safe out here.

Briefly logging in to share the amazing mental health toolkit from @SafeInOurWorld, for Community Managers in the games industry.

It’s been a rough couple of days for our discipline. Take a breath. Chat with folks you love. Be proud of what you do. ❤️

[Chris Groves 🫧 @OtpChris]

Ran my 100th @parkrunUK this morning!

Grateful for Parkrun’s organisers and volunteers, not just for giving me a platform to improve my fitness, but creating a supportive, inclusive, positive event, when those things are in short supply right now.

Here’s to another 100 🏃

[Chris Groves 🫧 @OtpChris]

@francescasoph You’ve been incredible dude. Can’t wait to see what brilliant stuff you do next 💛

Too many folks in this industry who are desperate to have influence and authority, yet are totally unwilling to address the responsibilities that come with it. 🤷

@FernandoM76 Emo’s boom in the 90s is often seen as a reaction to grunge, in the same way grunge was a reaction to metal pop

Basically the same concept as grunge (rejecting societal norms, creative anger) but with more introspection and sensitivity

[Chris Groves 🫧 @OtpChris]

@FernandoM76 IMO, yeah you could say that, in terms of their emergence and popularity

Grunge rise: Mid 1980s, Seattle, Green River, Melvins, Soundgarden

Emo rise: Mid 1990s, mid-west, Sunny Day Real Estate, Jimmy Eat World, Jawbreaker
