Hello and welcome to another edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight and I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host as we look back at the best creative offerings from the Giant Bomb Community. I'm going to be honest with you, I have written these motivational introductions for over five years, and this one may be the hardest I have ever written. Last week was rough for millions of people around the world. For those of you fighting to dismantle centuries worth of systemic oppression and brutality, I applaud your efforts. For those of you who are not able to join protests, I'll borrow Jan's piece of advice from last week's Bombcast, use your privilege or platform for good. Below, I'll link to several donation opportunities that will assist various efforts to make the world a better place. If you are not able to donate yourself, please consider amplifying these voices.
Also, Black Lives Matter!
- Abby's Color Of Change Charity Stream raised over $20,000! If you missed the livestream here's a link to the archive, and if you are still able to donate, here's a link to the donation page.
- Speaking of the charity stream, if you ended up enjoying the guests as much as I did, here are their Twitter handles: @godsewa, @Whittico, @funkemcfly, @RianaTweetsNow, and @TravisLFoster!
- GameSpot's Play For All charity event has already started and here's a link to their article which also has handy donation links to help support their cause!
- Jan made another appearance on The New Entertainment System Podcast! The podcast is also raising money for The Kansas City Bail Fund Project. Check it out and donate if you can!
Tweets Of The Week

Hi, I decided to donate money to Black Lives Matter today. Because Black Lives Matter. I hope you will consider doing something similar. My employer matched the donation, which is pretty cool. Please stay safe.

It seems so long ago when everyone was enamored with Brad's hair. This Brad x Brady Bunch photoshop work by jearum is a hilarious look at the evolution of Brad's facial hair over the years.
