Conservative men are SO funny because they cosplay tough men, doing “tactical” workouts, use military lingo(but never actually served) while unironically saying SF is too “scary”. Meanwhile I’m grabbing my lil matcha downtown. Imo they’re cowards and their whole platform is based on fear.

My hot take for today: Looksmaxxing mirrors the symptoms and behaviors of Body Dysmorphia/ED (speaking from experience), actual and serious mental health flags. And this intense focus and obsessive behaviors promoted by can trigger, reinforce, and worsen the symptoms of ED & BDD. These men need help

The Daughters of Penelope, with support from our sisters at Maids of Athena, successfully raised funds for childhood cancer yesterday. It took so much planning, volunteers, and donors to make this happen but I'm honored to be part of this cause. When women work together, we can accomplish so much 💛🏛️

Thinking about this new #DND podcast and how everything about it is going to be new! It’s my first podcast in years and I’m rolling out a brand new setting to players I’ve never played with (and @eleniexp.bsky.social) and running the 2024 rules in a campaign for the first time. It’s just new!

Hire Sam, an absolute delight of a human being who crushes what they do and also has great taste in friends and movies.

First, HECK YEAH WE DID THAT! Second, as someone who worked with DV survivors, am one, and wrote a book on abuse I’ll say this from my perspective: There WILL be retaliation. Trump’s an abuser full stop. Maybe dark tetrad. I know how they operate deeply & personally. Celebrate but stay vigilant 💙

If you haven't already, and you can, you also still have time to vote today! You can drop by your local library or polling center. It was empty when I went, no lines at all 💙🌈

If anyone wonders what my comments look like post Trump. I talk about women’s issues and DV. There has been a NOTICEABLE increase in these mfs feeling very emboldened to say shit like this.

I also want to stress it is probably NOT your fault. The economy is atrocious. People are buying less. Market penetration is more difficult. There’s so much that goes into indie game marketing. It’s a lot esp if you’re also trying to juggle actually making the gd game. You are doing just fine! 💜

Being on tiktok, seeing clear AI videos with 100k+ likes or obviously fake misinformation spread while being able to catch it is both 1. scary (like truly) and 2. Am I …smart?? Like what is happening? How are people not clocking obvious misinformation/fake ai videos?

I’ll be honest, “the government is shut down so we’re using private funds to pay the military” is the end of democracy, period, point blank. “The military is paid by an individual and all other government services are suspended” is… there’s no clean way back from it.

Even the ren faire, a place where people literally dress up as kings, did not want any kings today.

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

for her to say that Emma doesn’t support women’s rights is so insane. She constantly speaks for women- the difference is she speaks for all women.

After the press conference, I would like to address that I now like Sonic the Hedgehog, Kingdom Hearts lore, psychology, human behavior and social issues the normal amount. Ty for your attention to this matter! 😌

Bay Area ppl coming to see if anyone else felt the earthquake

I finally pushed past the bad brain wall and wrote, recorded, and edited this all last night. Huge upgrade from the acting in my 2021 character voice demo reel. Welcome to big 2025, my voice 🤝 brianlong.carrd.co

Get in loser, we’re finding radical joy despite the apocalypse 💖

Haha so where is my check? Been talking about this on the clock app but, honestly if you were a woman online during gamergate you deserve financial compensation 🤪

It would appear that the delightful and somewhat clueless @eleniexp.bsky.social has agreed to be my sherpa up the mountain of DnD. I say clueless because even though they are well aware of my chaos, they've never witnessed it unleashed with free reign through a fictional character. I'm so sorry.

Behold, two of the last SF Natives in games. So good to finally meet @eleniexp.bsky.social in person and find out we almost crossed paths a zillion times across the years in games.

Finally met the myth, the legend @tenaciouschi.bsky.social IRL 🥹 We’ve basically leapfrogged each other across half the game industry (same studios, different timelines) and only just crossed paths in person. Long overdue and so worth the wait 💜

Headed to PAX West this weekend! I’m in that weird but exciting transition space right now some career shifts are happening (more on that soon), but for now I’m just grateful to reconnect with people I admire and meet new folks doing cool, thoughtful work in games. 💜

What I’ve heard has been heartbreaking. There’s such a clear, consistent pattern especially the harm caused to poc. I’m so, so glad people are finally speaking up. You are deeply respected, loved and you didn’t deserve any of this. Things always come to light. You’re not alone. I’m proud of you. 💜

Leaving for a company retreat and realizing I might have layoff PTSD. Both times I did an on-site, we were all laid off the next month. So if I’m quiet it’s because I’m mentally refreshing LinkedIn and emotionally updating my resume… just in case. (still excited to see everyone though!)

Hi I just learned HAWKGIRL is in the Superman movie?! I love her so much since the animated Justice Leage 😭💜

Can confirm! I’ve dated a few “celebrities” (using that word SO generously) and they either loved that I treated them like everyone else… or absolutely hated it. Some really thought I’d tolerate more just because they’re known. Babe, I barely tolerate me, what makes you think you’re special?

Heartbroken for everyone impacted by the Microsoft layoffs today. You did nothing wrong. You did not fail. Don’t be afraid to post your work, ask for referrals, or DM someone you admire. You’re not alone and you still belong here. Holding space for you. Always. 💜 Here’s some resources.👇

Today I was a little rainbow for SF Pride 🌈 Reminder that joy is resistance. Softness is power. And I look hot actually. 💅

People say they want change in this industry. Well. It’s happening. It just might not look the way you expected. I love games and this industry so deeply. I’ve worked in AAA for Epic and Meta etc. Was part of the mass layoffs, left games entirely, switching to fashion. But indie pulled me back. 🧵

Who wants to play in a D&D podcast with me & @eleniexp.bsky.social ????

When they make a movie of this breakup I hope its titled Mojo Dojo Casa House of Cards

Checking out a new horror game made by a team of SIX people! Undying Flower promises psychological horror based around grief — I’ll be live with it for a short hour-long look to see how it explores these themes! Thanks to Calcatz and indie.io for sponsoring this stream! www.twitch.tv/girbeagly

I use to think "wow I've become such a loud feminist since training as a DV advocate, launching my tiktok and the election." But actually no, I was looking for an old photo and turns out NOPE I've literally always been a VERY loud advocate. Eleni, upsetting angry men online since 2022 😂

Don’t want this to be the venting social account and with everything else going on in the world I know my little troubles are small but I'm stressed. This month I'm moving, planning birthday, juggling posting videos, flying to boston, and organizing our pax coverage. I might just keel over—rip me. 🥰

I think I bit off more than I can chew recently. I have so much happening, and even things I would love to do and follow up with, I haven’t responded to emails about. I wish there were two of me. If you're waiting for an email know I haven’t forgotten.

I love it when women 🥰💖

Okay, turns out the general consensus amongst creators was y’all are still on twitter. The feedback was “we are still here because gaming brands are still here but moved to bluesky and 🧵 for personal use” I guess I’ll use both, but I’m old and tired of this grampa 🥲

“at last, the promise has been made.” happy remake day everyone 🩵

Hey creators! That Epic Games person with the game keys is now at indie.io (me) and looking for you. The Twitter exodus is confusing. Are we using this or threads now? I've even seen creators on LinkedIn? I have planned paid & key opportunities. 🧵👇

I want more kind and good people to get that bag. My friends? Heck yes they worked at X Company they were amazing. You should hire them! Get that bag. Yes we’ve collaborated before, and I’ll recommend you for X campaign. Get that bag. Too many evil people out here making too much money.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Happy international women's day to all women and cis women ❤️

For #InternationalWomansday I’m collaborating/ fundraising for Refuge. So honored to be included in this incredibly important campaign. 🩷

Here’s videos from my cousin in Greece yesterday. He got tear gassed. Huge mobilizations taking place right across Greece today, as workers bring capitalism to a standstill in a breathtaking general strike. Proud of them. 🇬🇷 #Greece

I am so excited to be celebrating 10 years as a twitch streamer. I will be live all day this Saturday !
