GameStop doing a midnight release of Black Ops 7 makes me want to go and then pick up Taco Bell and Monster on the way home and play all night. Buuuuut, I’m streaming tomorrow and while a 24 hour stream sounds fun I know I’m too old for that crap! 😂

Finished my personal #CallOfDuty Comfy Camo Challenge in Black Ops 6 just in time to be back on my bullshit with Black Ops 7! Stream goes live Friday at noon ET with code giveaways (courtesy of #Activision) and shenanigans courtesy of me! #CoDAuntie #gifted

“Don’t gather some of the most brilliant activists in the industry, treat us like crap, and then expect us to do nothing about it.” After the Game Awards cancelled its Future Class programme, @alyssamerc.bsky.social talked to its former honorees www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...

After being laid off I rely solely on ACA marketplace plans to help cover my medications and some of my doctors. If I can't afford my medication, I will die. This is not an exaggeration.

😷😷😷

📄🎧 Sitting and reading page proofs on the upcoming article on #CallofDuty with @toskakoshka.bsky.social and listening to our writing playlist makes me realize that I am blessed to have had some amazingly brilliant grad students who have become amazing colleagues. Find your people.

4 sleeps until Call of Duty #BlackOps7. #CoDAuntie

I fully understand the educational statements on AI, but I honestly don’t give a shit about it from an educational standpoint as long as AI data centers are being intentionally placed in areas to harm marginalized populations. Fuck student papers. People need clean water and to be able to breathe😒

Some days nostalgia just kicks in. A little Advance Wars (GBA) makes the day better.

Hi everyone , come work with us at Gravity Well on some fun characters We`re looking for someone with a love for stylized characters and the portfolio should reflect that. (see image for style) job-boards.greenhouse.io/gravitywell/... excuse me if im a bit slower to respond to any dms that come in

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

🧑🏾‍🎓 Academics! Remember, a lot of graduate students are severely underpaid and rely on SNAP benefits. 💵 I ain’t telling y’all what to do, but reach out, check in, let folks know that your door is open. We’ve been there.

AI data centers are environmentally disasterous and directly harm marginalized populations. If you’re on Twitch vote against this… Also, Fuck ChatGPT and everyone who uses it without caring about the repercussions. I said what I said.

Me: Let me work on this sabbatical request before I f*ck around and miss the deadline. Weather: 💨⛈️ Head: 😖🔨 Me: Whelp, I guess I’ll just drink coffee and play Call of Duty instead. 🎮 @professingmagic.bsky.social skip school and come play CoD with me! It’s medicinal.

My friend invited me to a 52 games in 52 weeks “challenge” with tiered levels for hours played per game. The new Pokemon came out this week and I’m writing a research proposal. I have 20+ hours in Pokemon and I replayed the game for the proposal. I am officially a video game hustler.

All these Jesse Welles “No Kings” song posts coming across my timeline. They just got me remembering that he also penned that song Cha*lie… Post what you want, but know what you posting. It’s counter to the stance some of y’all took a few weeks ago is all I’m saying.

Making a playlist for my next research project and it might just have….*whispers* @southofmidnight.bsky.social vibes. 🫣

🎮 @callofduty.com may be my cozy game, but I still get petty when I get spawn sniped. 🤣 #BlackOps7

Today is my last day at Blizzard! Working with the World of Warcraft team has been such a fun, positive experience. I can't wait for players to see what we made together. Now I'm looking for my next role in games, full time or contract, indie or AAA. You can check out my portfolio on my website! 🖤

My little free library in the Critical Play Lab (working title) is growing. We also have a stack of journals and a bowl of stickers, pens, highlighters, and bookmarks. My Games Writing students are keeping Commonplace Books and it warms my heart that they sometimes come in just to sit and write 🔥❤️

Leave black women the fuck alone. Whatever you feel like black women should be doing, get your ass up and go do it yourself. Fixed it for you 😘

You think you’re ok until you play Bastion (Supergiant Games) with a class that is >90% POC in 2025… Keeping my shit together during lecture/discussion/gameplay hasn’t been easy and we ain’t even got to my usual ugly cry part yet 😳😭 Pray for me, saints 🙏🏾. And enjoy the 🎵 youtu.be/o3SZee4YZX8?...

Horror games TERRIFY me. My kid is asking if we can play this together. I was hoping it would be horrible so that I had an excuse. Now Jessica’s review has me wanting to play it…😳

I’ve seen it 50-11 times in the theater and a bajillion times at home, but I would 100% take my Black ass back to the theater again…

Nature tried to kill me no less than 3X today. 1. Stink bug on car door handle almost gave me a heart attack. 2. Giant wasp in the car on the highway tried to murk me. (I lived) 3. Student & I got bum rushed by a bat in the hallway outside the lab on the way back from class. No contact. No shots.

NEWS: CVS, the largest pharmacy chain in the country, is currently not offering Covid vaccines in 16 states and DC — even to people who meet the new FDA criteria — because the CDC hasn't signed off and isn't expected to do so (if it does so) for at least three weeks.

The first game I booted up on Switch 2... I'm glad I could get @inversephase.bsky.social to make new music for the first few levels of Treachery in Beatdown City (which was a free update to the base game) The Chinatown theme slaps. Inspired by me having the Police Story theme stuck in my head.

The way I tell you Discounty, Tiny Bookshop, Is This Seat Taken, and Gemporium have kept me going this last couple of weeks! Birdigo is my new bedtime obsession and I can’t wait to grab Sword of the Sea. It’s gonna be a long semester. ❤️

This is your sign to go (re)play Wylde Flowers and wishlist Wylde Society too! 🐈‍⬛🪄

With every waking breath. I hope her kettle stops working, her toaster burns everything on one side, and her plumbing backs up in the middle of the night and no one finds out until morning. 🖕🏾

The maddest someone has ever gotten at me was when I talked about the child sized manacles Jefferson had at Monticello for 9 year old children. They could not cope with the idea that a child the same age as their child had been enslaved. And it made them angry that I made them know facts

You could say I got 4 new books today or you could say I got 4 new future books for the lab’s free library… 📚

I am now even more excited to play this game!
