Maybe six months before I came out of the closet I showed restraint in a way I have regretted ever since. I've finally corrected this decision.

thinking about how much writing and I going to be able to do in the next few days feels good

I can’t be bothered with a permanent gender but I get the free trials once in a while when I’m bored.

my gf’s mother keeps an artwork I did for her, framed in the living room, & it’s kinda cute

not just in art, either, there are guys who would go around obsessively fixing every clogged pipe in a 10-mile radius if they had the free time and social infrastructure to do so

Oh that reminds me of an early trans experience where I was playing freemium fighting MMO Lost Saga that sold ten (10) skill points and a new gender for any hero for like a dollar. It was optimal! Girls was optimal.

I got my gender by spending 25 Gems, available from the online store in packs of 20 Gems each for 9.99, currently on sale for 7.99 this weekend only. Act now and get a free accessory.

I feel like my writing has made a bigger jump in quality between Sheam and Exocoetus than is on display between any of these, even decades apart. ... Okay, except the 1999 sample. I was very probably 18 when I wrote it and desperately trying to slot into a role I thought people expected me in.

Just noticed I had listed by one of the protagonists of Exocoetus in the "special thanks" of my 2004-2009 Thief fanfic as if she was a friend of mine and uhh Look I had a lot of gender stuff going on for a long time okay

ooof. Okay. Here goes. up left: oldest mention of Sheam in my Thief-based online roleplay as a scummy crime lord ~ 1999 up right: first appearance of Sheam in my Thief fanfics ~ 2004 low left: "first" appearance of Sheam in my 2025 novel, Sheam low right: first page of the last chapter of Sheam

Should I find a different European country to try to become citizen of?

I won't say exactly why, because spoilers for my novel in progress, but I felt obligated to watch the trailer for The Odyssey. ... That's one way to cure imposter syndrome. You guys Fight of the Independent Omnivessel Exocoetus is going to be so fucking cool. 🤘

I'm having one of those "you can make no mistakes and still lose" kinda days.

Corporate fascism wants to destroy queer creativity. It's up to us to support each other however we can. Support queer art directly.

we owe them n o t h i n g .

Now's a great time of year for us all to remember that we don't owe our families anything.

raised by x-men and gargoyles to adore broad shouldered women and despise wealthy technofascists

Naturalization process asks for French citizens to vouch for me as a good member of society Of course that means asking three friends to deadname and misgender me on purpose This feels like shit, folks

Did you know that the best time to tell all of your friends that they need a .meow domain was yesterday? That's okay, the second best time is today :3

Last-minute gig idea! A knock-off VHS that looks a bit like a classic Disney cartoon:

if there are any sites looking for a freelancer to review/cover yakuza kiwami 3 who has also reviewed infinite wealth + pirate yakuza and wrote about the series at length in the past, i'm truly the girl for it 💜 aware this is a little early shares appreciated 💜

Soon.

Okay if I can be selfish for a moment: I'm delisted from itch. In the UK you literally can not see my profile. A big chunk of my income, my living money, comes from bundles like this. It would mean a lot if you could share it, send it to friends. 🧵 itch.io/s/175443/ver... itch.io/b/3377/bundl...

Now with the correct link! (can you tell it's morning?)

Hi. I'm Dana and this is the first four pages of my work-in-progress novel, Flight of the Independent Omnivessel Exocoetus. It's sci-fi, queer, and an unapologetic mix-tape of so many things I've thought were cool since I was a kid, and still do.

It's impossible to make a true and proper immersive sim to modern standards without at least one trans woman on the dev team. If you're thinking "but we made one and there's no trans women on our team" I have fantastic news for you.

Tonight you'll be visited by three spirits.

Doing your budgets or schedules with a technology that routinely hallucinates is a terrible idea (as is contracts, legal advice, etc.). Doing docs with AI is making the primary source of truth unreliable for the team and creates ambiguity or conflict, and thus also a terrible idea.

‘everyone in gamedev is using AI’ the business dumdums are using it to generate decks and write bad copy. They think it’s good because they think their basic lore ideas make a good game. that’s it that’s who is using AI

Happy solstice. ✨

Dysmorphiaaaaa

Idiot woman thinking about her three protagonists' character arcs and ugly crying about all three of them while still thinking it's not good enough it's not relatable enough it won't resonate it's not raw enough it's not honest enough it's never enough it's not

Here’s a tip for graphic designers: if you include the “weakest” option in your pitch the client will choose it 9 times out of 10. If you include something you hate they will choose that option. They can’t help themselves. They don’t do it consciously but they’ll do it

One of these days I'll stop trying to do stuff I'm pretty bad at. But not today.

I hope y'all are supporting trans and queer artists this holiday season. Because the fascists in our government and evangelical puritans in churches are wielding every lever they can to erase us.

When working in level design sometimes I spot structural issues. Every individual part works, but the way each interacts with the whole is broken. The best way to fix this is to pull it entirely apart and rebuilt it chunk by chunk. Some chunks get thrown out. Some remade. Some new ones are needed.

Whatever way you can. Maybe that's just by sharing it with the people you know who love to read. By buying a bundle for a friend. Hell, if you like my work and want to support me directly, you can join my Patreon or share that. Tell people about it. Tell people how it affected you.
