made it home from readercon (fiancé and I drove and took our time). it was such a great trip and I got to spend time with friends and also met so many lovely folks, all of whom I absolutely forgot to take pics with—but I definitely want to go back next year. it was such a fun and chill experience 💜

Girl, get in line.

I'm editing an older flash fiction piece (that may or may not be coming out later this year, who can say) and it's wild how much my writing has changed and improved 🥹 I'm still so proud of this piece!! it's very angry and gender AND the giant robots are more biological and goopy this time around 👀

Khoreo's Kickstarter is almost 7k away from funding with only nine days to go!!! Let's do this for a magazine that has always been promoting marginalised authors and brings a fresh perspective to the sff community ❤️

my discovery draft melted into chaos so I head hopped from character to character and realized I want to add in some time fuckery maybe, oops!! but I do love time shenanigans and timeloops so here we are. I can always simplify in revisions and later drafts if that’s overcomplicating—but for now 👀

was feeling intense impostor syndrome for a second for very silly reasons but witch hat atelier fixed me so nvm

this is not new so much as new to me but wow why did I never think to use highlighter colors in docs to help me skim to key and important discovery draft notes??? absolute game changer for me!! (watch me overuse the highlighter now).

Trans rights are human rights always and forever.

hi yes I know it's barely june still, but would you care for 17 game demos I played for summer showcases and steam next fest? it's a pretty cool list if I do say so myself ✨ 🌈 www.patreon.com/spacevalkyri... 🌈

*the concepts of space and time kick back in* hey what do you MEAN readercon is NEXT WEEK?! how is it almost july omg. excited!!!

Oblivion is calling for you. Become a writer.

ALSO THIS, which is so well-put. (And I swear this is the last thing I'll say about the word discourse.) To me is it not really the 'I don't know this word' that bugs me, it's the ask. You do not get to ORDER UP what an artist provides! You get what you get! When did this change?!!??

Happy steam summer sale, y’all.

HAVE YOU BEEN A GOOD GIRL My new messy/trans/sapphic sci-fi extraction RPG for 2 players is out now for FREE RPG DAY. The BASIC-B rules are free and will always be free. DM your friends, inhabit a GIRL, eat, prey, kill. notwriting.itch.io/hybagg

happening now! hear some awesome folks discuss blades in the dark and forged in the dark games—and also me being completely new to the forged in the dark system and my first impressions! because they very kindly let me sit at this table and say words about narrative ✨

today's walk wound up being a lucky bird walk! saw a couple birds I (which is to say: the merlin app and I) think were red-shouldered hawks AND a great blue heron—which was flying to water, and seeing a heron fly around always feels magical. I didn't get good pics of either, but still! birds!! ✨

happily, it was a very simple fix (faulty part) so now we have working AC againnnn ✨

every time I feel stressed taking time away from a draft (novel or short story or otherwise), my brain usuallyyy rewards me with some puzzle pieces falling into place at random. and then it wants to zoom again. it’s also been fun seeing this funky staircase shape play out in my word tracker too 😂

I love when doctors say "avoid stress" like I can just unsubscribe from economy and become a decorative gargoyle

Happy last week of Pride 🏳️‍🌈✨ [ #illustration • #cuteart ]

Not now, tiny particle that could erase the universe at any moment

for the second time this summer our AC is acting upppp 😭😭

I'm going to be discussing Forged in the Dark related things on Saturday!! super honored to be at this table to talk about my Girl by Moonlight experiences as a newbie to that system specifically as well as other narrative thoughts. because you know I always have those ✨

HAPPY JUNETEENTH!!!! ✊🏾❤️🖤💚 🎥: @blairimani.bsky.social

you know you're a highly anxious and neurodivergent and traumatized person not used to ever slowing down when you DO slow down for a brief break, your brain IMMEDIATELY starts trying to find problems—your friends hate you, you secretly suck or whatever. all while you're just trying to relax 🫠

It is Juneteenth. I feel it is pretty important to remind everyone that the Juneteenth flag colors are Red, White and Blue ON PURPOSE. The corporate marketing that uses only African Freedom and Pan-African Liberation colors feels like erasure. So let's talk about Black African diaspora flags 🧵1/8

Happy Juneteenth! If you're looking for something cool to play today to support a black business in the U.S., check out some of my games. - Studio is Black-owned - Black characters - Black Voice Actors And racist trolls hate us ♥️ linktr.ee/aerial_knight

I know I'm like a million years late to the party but holy shit metal from heaven is so good!!

ohhh it seems like the full schedule for readercon is up—I will be attending this year (and doing a reading with some lovely friends)! who all is going? I wish to say hi to as many folks as I can!! 👀

*flops over* i finished my final exam four short answer and two essay questions that I wrote WAY over the minimum amount for but dammit I'm going to make my points and walk away from having star wars opinions for a few years, thanks. BUT CLASS IS DONE, I GET A WEEK OFF BEFORE THE NEXT BEGINS 😤🔥

We've made a list of games that use Gen AI and updated the Carrd! This will eventually be expanded to cover more things, but we're still figuring out the layout It contains both games that we've posted and ones that we haven't yet so you may see some new titles docs.google.com/spreadsheets... -E

I've been quiet because I'm trying to finish my star wars class early and take my final exam tonight! but first—what if we did a co-working stream? I'm going to read and make progress on metal from heaven 👀 come hang out for coworky times after just chatting! ✨ www.twitch.tv/spacevalkyries ✨

HI YES ISSUE 2 OF OTHERSIDE IS FREE TO READ!! I'm really happy with how this issue turned out, it's dreamy and a little nightmarish and so full of emotions 💜 which is to saaaay HAPPY PRIDE GO READ QUEER STORIES AND POEMS THANKS 🌈🪐🗡️

my discussion topic for my star wars class this week was about rey and women in star wars overall and wow oops I wrote 750 words (the minimum is 210...). no one is going to respond to all that but I DID clearly have thoughts 😂

oh hi that's me! extremely humbled to be a Flights of Foundry guest of honor this year—my first guest of honor experience!! I'm SO excited to talk about streaming, writing, TTRPGs, and my experiences storytelling across those mediums! there will also be a keynote and much flailing as per usual 💜

despite the humid heat of the day, I'm having a good brain day writing-wise (in terms of how mean I am towards my own work) so I got that going for me—despite melting into a puddle of goo 🫠

okay so we only played Growing My Manhole, as expected, and it was such a hilarious time full of many mature hole jokes 🕳️✨ on tomorrow's stream I will play Ship Miner and Wind Runners, I promise!! thank you for a fun and silly time today 💜

today after the usual hour or so of just chatting we will be playing some summer game showcase demos - ideally. the demos: 🕳️ Growing My Manhole 🚀Ship Miner 🛩️Wind Runners so yeah... the first one might just be memey enough to distract for an hour. let's find out? ✨ www.twitch.tv/spacevalkyries ✨

We need more “amateur” games with “crude reproduction” and “small circulation”, not less. Make stuff not because it is perfect and slickly made. Make stuff because it’s fun, and engaging, and because you can. MAKE WEIRD GAMES: www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/one-page-rpg

you know, sometimes it's easy to forget about my chronic fatigue. I have a routine that helps me feel largely functional most days to the point where, in my hubris, I decided to try to wake up one (1) hour earlier to get more reading and writing time in. and now the brain fog and exhaustion hits 😭

my star wars class recorded lectures predate rise of skywalker—which is FASCINATING when they're talking about rogue one (andor didn't exist yet), women's roles in the main series movies, what rise of skywalker might look like and do for diversity of roles, etc. but also... update your material omg
