Rebecca was, is, and will always be a legend. On top of that, just an absolutely kind person too. I don’t even know what else to say because she was such a force that talking about her in past tense doesn’t even make sense.

My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away. Fuck cancer. Friends, let’s not forget her: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca...

in the early 2000s Rebecca took the time to chat over IRC with a teenaged and gender-confused Me on the practicalities of transition - in a time where being out as trans online was something that could get you socially ostracized. I owe her a lot for that and only hope I can pay it forward.

maybe, napping.

If you can help in any way or would like to buy anything I sell (check the links in my bio) I'd be very grateful. The pinned item is 1/5 the cost of what I've already put out for the ER/x rays/blood tests. If it gets filled, I'll add another one. Thank you. Shares also appreciated! 💸💕

i love you but i am also afraid of you and yeah i probably mean you

You all are beyond incredible. I still have a ways to go but I am so grateful. I'm gonna keep trying to get momentum on this this week. If we can reach my next stretch goal I think I can get long-term housing lined up by Wednesday. Thank you thank you thank you

i wasn't sure if i wanted FFS, because i'm afraid of surgery, but i also decided that if there was a chance i wanted it at all i should probably get the process started. my transition stalled for years because i was afraid of this fucking country.

stream time! come join me while i start Pokemon Legends Z-A! twitch.tv/emmavoid

Bsky hasn’t heard the story about the time that I was giving a virtual colloquium to the Aspen Center for Physics in September 2020 and Lawrence Krauss, Geoff Marcy, Christian Ott all attended as a group ACP now has a policy that would prevent this from happening, because of that incident 🔭

I bring a certain 'never posts, lurker, eventually forgets I'm there entirely' energy to your discord server

Okay yes that was three hours of sleep, fuck it, time to get up I guess I miss smoking sometimes

I can't believe it's taken me days to raise $35 toward a $300 EpiPen. I'm glad I'm not dead.

huh it just occurred to me did you know that The Tower is technically a magical force-fem story? i mean, i never thought of it that way but that's undeniably what's happening. Well! READ MY MAGICAL FORCED FEMINIZATION NOVEL HERE! (and repost this maybe)

I think it's a bit remarkable that of all the media I've seen that's inspired by That Woman's books, nearly all of it says "and fuck HP" in some capacity and often very directly and obviously

when the orange beast gets right up in my face to say 'Mow!' to let me know he'd like some cat food but he's close enough that i can literally *smell the cat food on his breath* get outta here with this begging, you doofus

If neither of those locations are for you, the cave up ahead can be fun too! Make it daytime and you'll see some gorgeous light leaks in the cave walls and fireflies floating around, even in daytime! [6/7]

i've been stuck for days on a scene where two characters had to have a conversation about polyamory. i really just didn't know how to approach it, and i wanted it to feel authentic and tonally consistent and not turn into an unexpected source of conflict. it was a Hard Problem.

Oh! If you'd like to read more straightforward lesbian fantasy erotica, I've got something for you! www.scribblehub.com/series/19834...

Hey guess what I did? I published the next chapter of The Tower! You could go read it right now! www.scribblehub.com/read/1958646... or you could go to the quoted post and start from the beginning. Either way! it's really good, I promise!

we all start somewhere (though 'start' is such an ambiguous term)

when you're procrastinating but you're also in full-on writing brain mode and like, oooh, that's a good phrase i just wrote in a fucking bsky post not, notably, in the novel.

i have selfies on my fb profile that are public, for a variety of reasons and some cis woman came through and laugh reacted a bunch of them. and i noticed two things one, she only picked the ones where i wasn't wearing makeup. I was still hot in them, just not made up.

technically Battletech was always Battletech, but the design for the entire management portion of the game -- so everything that wasn't giant robot fighting -- began life years earlier as a Harry Potter management sim I designed and pitched via my employers when she launched 'pottermore'.

i was pleased with this bit: ---------- Riley felt herself dissociating from her body — not in a trauma-coping way, but in a dreamy unreality way. “I love her.” Thankfully, because everything was quickly turning into a dream, nobody heard her say it. ----------- author's note: they all heard her

there's this feeling that i get when i throw on a tight tank top i've owned for years because i just need to wear something around the house, and i see myself in the mirror later and realize that the tank top, which was just some random shirt, is really fucking sexy, and then i realize that's me.

crying for an hour and then passing out turns out to be, well. not comfortable, but at least a route to clearing your head and refocusing. back to writing.

tfw you realize all you've got for blowing your nose while crying is paper towels because someone used up all the tissues

tell people you love them. tell them as often as you can. make sure they know. make sure you do it whenever you feel it. please

oh my goddess this hurts so fucking bad please please help her if you can. please let her leave without this last worry. fuck i'm crying so hard right now

we all start somewhere (though 'start' is such an ambiguous term)

hot girl in a dress? i can offer, at best, the ephemera of a hot girl in a dress

ahahaha a man in a dress that's pretty fuckin funny yep laughing my ass off here you kill me with this stuff no, actually. this kind of shit creates the cultural preconditions that lead to the murder of women like me.

this is transmagicalism

Hmmm nobody seems to be checking out the porn I wrote. Which is not at all what I would have expected.

Damn, this is doing some... well, not really all that numbers, but I'm gonna self promote anyway, because I'm playing Silksong right now over on my Twitch channel:

hello please try to remember that the person you see on a social media account is curated to appear a certain way, to present a certain personality facade, to be a particular character. do not compare someone else's highlights reel to your lived experiences. that's just a kind of digital self harm.

Tonight I had good sex and I've been told I should claim that's the reason I'm about to publish the next chunk of my novel. It's not true; this is just when I'd planned to publish it. But I'm following instructions here because it seems funny.

GdT's Frankenstein was really very good. But I also loved crimson peak so I'm squarely in the GdT target audience.

And then, like the fucking validation fairy, the astonishingly beautiful woman who occasionally blasts through my life like a freight train on fire shows up and the words she uses to describe me are enough to leave me breathless I never know how long she'll stay.

Looking for validation.

Rebecca Heineman @burgerbecky.bsky.social needs to be transfered by helicopter to a medical center where they can better treat her cancer, which means her gofundme needs $20k more. please give to support this trans game dev elder if you can!
