Well... hell. At 91% raised in a few hours. I'm floored and humbled y'all. Thank you 😱🥰🥹 gofund.me/68950306a

Start practicing your scripts now: 💠 "All food is just food." 💠 "I'm not labeling my eating today." 💠 "That's a weird thing to say out loud." PRO-TIP: Have your phone ready to suddenly need to "take this call" and leave the table.

I finally made it to the part of season 4 of The Witcher where Regis tells his backstory and let me just ask- what ABSOLUTE GARBAGE WAS THAT??? Deeply disappointed.

Do you have opinions? Did you attend GeekGirlCon 2025? We'd love your feedback! Take the feedback survey to help us make GeekGirlCon 2026 the best it can be! 💞 prettyform.addxt.com/a/form/vf/1F...

So far, I’ve put my phone down and walked away from it twice. I would like to think that means this con is going GREAT because I’m not attached to it in anxiety.

Attended a panel about romance and sex in Dragon Age at GGC by @gaygrayshark.bsky.social. 1. Amazingly done. Well researched and so funny. 2. I couldn’t have felt more SEEN by their 170k words of fanfic about Emmrich. I too have a lot of feelings about one of my new favorite video games characters.

Don’t miss the amazingly adorable limited edition GeekGirlCon 15-year anniversary poster by PocketLeslie! It is BEYOND adorable!! #GeekGirlCon #GGC25

Pennsylvania maintained their liberal Supreme Court judges and the good news coming in from the surrounding states is a sigh of relief. A small one but a refreshing one nonetheless.

Seeing everyone get their books is making me so so happy 🥰

Hey friends! No stream tonight. I discovered some of my fans in my PC are not running and it turns out they have kicked the bucket. I added some cheap replacement fans onto throne if folks would like to help me replace them: share.google/eGJ9dN6qNYQP...

We’re on to Day 2 of streaming for @geekgirlcon.bsky.social! I made my first goal last night which means we’re in for a 9 hour stream. We’ve just finished 2 hours of Darktide. Come join us for Phasmo, REPO and more! twitch.tv/wanderingshrink

Hey all! Tonight I’m kicking off my two day stream to raise money for @geekgirlcon.bsky.social. Tonight I’ll be starting stream at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT and tomorrow I’ll be up bright and early starting at 10am PT / 7am ET. With donations you can do things like extend stream time and pick my horror game.

For anyone looking for ways to reduce meal costs, I cannot recommend the Budget Bytes app and website highly enough. Most of the meals work out to under $2/serving, there are vegan options, things that freeze well, etc. The Moroccan Lentil Stew is my favorite.

Another EXP talk! 🎉 I got into Dragon Age well after the book was in progress and my feelings have to be directed towards anyone that will listen. 😂

Wait… hold up. I’m seeing The Elder Scrolls book in this pile 👀👀👀

Today we celebrate and honor the Indigenous American people, their communities, their histories, their culture, and their unbreakable spirit! #Dames4Games & #IndigenousPeoplesDay

sorry for the repost zoomies but suicide prevention isn't infographs & memes on Oct 10th or any other day of the year it's not charity walks or fancy fundraising dinners it's taking care of each other believing each other if the former brings the latter, great, but we're not really seeing that

btw are you calling reps? will attend protests? my audiobooks/ebooks used by 7,000 people are free if you did or will do 2 hours of volunteering, those count no proof needed not trying to sell here, gifting it to help people who help people GetYourselfToDoThings.com ➡️ Gumroad ➡️ "I Will Volunteer"

My friends are sharing their pictures of my book with me and I’m overwhelmed with love. I seriously have some of the best humans in my life.

Tarja’s chapter is a beautifully written piece that balances personal experience and education. As a person who likes to call Skyrim my virtual home, this chapter welcome me through the front door and right to the warm fire.

I co-wrote a chapter with @wanderingshrink.bsky.social about the Daedric Princes! This was definitely one of the most fun writing experiences and got to talk about my boy Hermaeus Mora 🥰

Let me tell you- when I got Anna’s abstract, I sat there for a minute and went “this is the coolest thing I’ve ever read about this game.” Her chapter DELIVERS. If you download it just to read about psychodrama and our chaotic daedra pal, I won’t blame you. It’s worth it!

On July 4, 2023- I sent an anxious text to @drkowert.bsky.social asking if she’d let me edit a book about my all time favorite video game series. Today, I’m so happy to share that The Psychgeist of Pop Culture: The Elder Scrolls has been released! 🎉 playstorypress.org/books/the-ps...

I have it under good authority, @drkowert.bsky.social, we’re prepping for the release of The Psychgeist of Pop Culture: The Elder Scrolls. As a treat- here’s the breakdown of my authors by faction. In case you’re wondering who pushed the Dark Brotherhood into the majority…do you need to ask? 💅🏻😈

Went to see #WitcherinConcert tonight and it was so good. Chills throughout many iconic songs (and maybe a few tears during The Slopes of the Blessure). My only bummed moment was not enough Regis in the Blood and Wine section. As said to me- “Detlaff was the plot device. Regis was the plot.”

In a world full of monsters, who decides who is human? youtu.be/EEwlJ1NzHHI?...

A brief interlude of the bad news to wish you all a Schöner Herbstanfang! Of course, this means it's time for my Herbstanfang tradition of stuffing my emotional support skeleton, Karl, into an outfit and placing him juuuuust in view of my camera.

When every convention/ conference related opportunity to see a friend in a different country falls through… you plan to go see them instead. Visiting Brazil was not on my 2025 bucket list but here we are.

Changing the narrative on suicide requires systemic change, shifting from a culture of silence & stigma to one of openness, understanding, & support. For #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, we're sharing resources for anyone who needs them. If you or someone you know is struggling, there is help available.

A match made in geekdom! Thanks to a few generous matching donors, every dollar you give to GGC will be matched — dollar for dollar — from now until the close of GGC 2025 on November 9! Donate here: geekgirlcon.com/get-involved... 🧵

This!!! I tell my counseling and assessment clients all the time to get it in writing. Make it official. I don’t care if you have handshake agreement. It can be taken from you. As Shayna said, I’m sure your manager is understanding and wants to help but their hands can get tied. Get it in writing.

Adults need to play too! 👏 When I present on using video games in therapy I almost always have folks assuming I mean with kids. Nope! Adults need play and they feel safer with therapists (like Jebro) who understand and encourage their interests.

If you see this, repost with a vampire that isn’t Dracula. (You all knew. There was literally no other option for me.)

When you play games with a long distance friend for the first time and they suggest Overcooked. Me: Oh great. So I can curse you out. @danpettersen.bsky.social: That’s why I picked it. Vibes were immaculate.

Wait. Hold up. I was mentioned in THE Dr. Rachel Kowert’s newsletter. Gosh. What an amazing August 🤩 You definitely need to subscribe and stay on top of the brain science and games news.

There has been a lot of excitement for The Psychgeist of Pop Culture: World of Warcraft. Get your proposals in! playstorypress.org/2025/07/15/c...

Missing PAX West for the first time since 2019 (not counting the pandemic year)- feeling so strange not being in Seattle and seeing friends. 💔

I’m new to the whole “reading from a script and looking official” thing but what I can tell you is that I have a lot to say about Regis’s influence on Geralt and I tried to cram it into 9 minutes. Let it be known, I did not add the hearts to my head but it’s representative of how I feel.

Session 0 of Old Golds: I’ve already been asked if the pony cart they bought can be painted pink. To which I responded “well, you might have guaranteed the dark doesn’t want to deal with you.”

Suicide prevention is a very important cause to me, so this year marks the 2nd annual Gamedevs for Suicide Prevention team at the LA (Santa Monica) Out of the Darkness Walk! If you're in SoCal, come walk with us! Or you can donate to our team. afspwalks.donordrive.com/team/371158

I start my Old Gods of Appalachia campaign on Saturday and the excitement in my players to try out a new system and world is giving me life. I’ve also learned SO MUCH about the Pennsylvania Railroad over the last few weeks…

What a day, Serious Play Conference. Bonus: I got to play Death Race (it was shockingly difficult to run over the sprites?) and we managed to snap a Psychgeist author/editor meet up on the world's favorite stoop. #seriousplay25

Serious Play after hours/ gaming quotes- Dash: Celeste is an environmental hazard. @celestes-psych.bsky.social: That’s how I identify.

If you happened to miss the signing by @drkowert.bsky.social at #seriousplay25, a few of the authors, including me, signed a bunch of Psychgeist copies. You should grab them before they’re gone. 👀

The #seriousplay25 keynote speaker for Day 1, Michelle King, had us reflect on language and words and how when we lose our language, we’re losing parts of ourselves. It made me think about how I’ve been hanging onto German with a death grip even though I don’t use it as often as I’d want.

Serious Play is around the corner and I'm excited to share that I will be giving my dream talk at this year's event. I'll be covering the use of video games with different therapeutic modalities and how the course of treatment can look using games as a narrative base for processing and exploration.
