Wrote an essay in light of the police brutality at the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. I look at the history of SGLMG, the parallels to today and the threat to trans people when we choose silence over action. pendulum.beehiiv.com/p/2026-mardi...

The Pendulum is back with another piece from @sarahrosina.bsky.social, in case you were wondering. This time, it's a piece about police violence, gay communities, and history tending to repeat. pendulum.beehiiv.com/p/2026-mardi...

No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.

Correction: they shouldn't be compared if you want to defend ONE and not the other. On a more serious note, I... didn't want to have to add this as some kind of addendum, but. I guess this piece has now become dated? Already? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

There’s a new piece over on The Pendulum! My co-writer @sarahrosina.bsky.social decided to write a response to the comparison of two different arts festivals and their Palestine-related issues that probably shouldn’t be compared. Plus: confusion over what Nick Cave is even saying. Give it a read!

Also #ttrpg don't sleep on this year's Solo But Not Alone! 90 #soloRPG titles for $10, all which which helps @takethis.org provide mental health supports in our communities. itch.io/b/3481/solo-... There's a HUGE variety here, from crunchy dungeon crawls to moody journaling games and more!

Happy Lunar New Year! 🐴 There is still some time left to get SLING4RS at PWYW on itchio! 🤠 aryl-ether.itch.io/sling4rs

Got a absolute killer long read on @thisweekinvideogames.com for the weekend: @sambarsanti.bsky.social dives deep into the communities convinced there's "one last mystery" left to solve in Red Dead Redemption 2, speaks to one of the main sleuths, and ties it all back to Ed Harris in Westworld.

For those who keep up with my writing, big news! Alongside my friend @sarahrosina.bsky.social, I’ve started my own newsletter project, The Pendulum, for my writing. Personal essays, interviews, articles, gaming news, whatever I want. Our first piece is live now! pendulum.beehiiv.com/p/triple-j-h...

On the one hand, this deal landing one week after @tolariancommunitycollege.com hosted a $600,000 fundraiser for Trans Lifeline highlights a cavernous gulf between executives and MTG's community. On the other hand, a stated goal of Universes Beyond is flooding the TCG with endless new customers.

I am starting a studio! We are small and scrappy and have no money. Why am I doing this? Because the only ones who can protect art are the ones who value it. Disney using AI? Yuck. Netflix buying WB? Also yuck. In 10 years what is even going to be left.

I don’t look at the titles i just queue up Hyperfixed and listen at work. Completely jumpscared by @agoldman.bsky.social hearing that song on my long-time writing playlist. I should start reading the titles first.

In the midst of everything going on, my friend @radioairhyper.bsky.social and I have been migrating our work off of Medium and onto a website for us together. Our first essay is a piece on the listening experience of the 2025 triple j Hottest 100. Read it here: pendulum.beehiiv.com/p/triple-j-h...

I do this later and later every year because I'm exhausted and busy. BUT-- I like to make a little thread running through the stuff I did in the last year. 2025 was... a slower year. But I did still do some stuff I'm proud of, so here's the thread.

Solo games as beautiful, solo games are fun, you can have so many of them for $10 and help Take This provide mental health supports!!

Okay. I need a boost here. Looking for artists. We're talking about some potential comic book style art and/or concept art for the #iHunt film. We're privately funding development, so budget isn't Hollywood. I want queer and/or nonwhite artists. I want cool styles. Links? Tags? Self-promo?

ICE agents are, simply put, fucking clowns. Some observations from four days on the ground in Minneapolis. www.garbageday.email/p/we-re-all-...

We are SO close to making our first thousand! Why not drop $10 on a big delicious bundle full of a huge variety of solo games, and help us raise money so @takethis.org can continue to provide mental health supports? WHY NOT?

And we are LIVE! The solo gaming event of the year, Solo But Not Alone 6! Buy 90 items for only $10, all-new singleplayer TTRPGS! We have horny ones, we have scary ones, we have therapeutic ones and kid-friendly ones and more! itch.io/b/3481/solo-...

A local rapid response group I work with is desperately trying to raise $5K tonight to get immediate legal representation for a group member who is facing deportation. It is crucial that these funds be raised by tomorrow. These are organizers I trust. Venmo for donations: @geebees5818

I am still out here pitching for you to drop a few bucks on a struggling Brazilian artist who is being forced to move.

In the New Year, I will need someone who is skilled at making an artful map for a project that I am working on. If this is you, please reach out in January - [email protected] I need a visual representation of the circulation of a historical pamphlet.

For the next day crowd, I wrote another very personal piece, about a friend and mentor I was very lucky to know. I’m really proud of this one, I’d love if you checked it out.

You're absolutely right—and honestly? Thank you for pointing that out. Here's a skeet that's funny, witty, and will leave your followers wanting more: penis

For Christmas, I'm thinking about being alone and about my first writing mentor. So here's a story about one of the kindest men I've ever known, about regrets, about finding connection in life, NOT finding it in an AI, and about making art for for your sake. justin-joyce.medium.com/christmas-at...

There is an entire game design culture of people fighting to make functional systems for Freeform Discord RP servers that I’ve become recently fascinated by and never seen anyone talk about

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out. This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

Once again, I really could use the help. All I need is 300 dollars so I can pay off my Cellphone Bill and the internet bill for the month. I have many other things in the process to make income but I really need this by the 22nd before I get cut off. ko-fi.com/walleoruam/g...

404 Media is making a print zine about the surveillance tactics used by ICE, and how people are resisting this tech. Why? Print media is cool. Also, 404 Media has watched ICE grow from an already horrifying organization into a deportation force that is better funded than most militaries.

Getting to this post late, but this episode in particular means a lot to me. I had William Hoffman as my playwrighting professor during my first year in college, right before he passed. Very happy to know him, funny, weird, very encouraging dude. Listen to TWOAPW talk about As Is.

Geese at the Beach, by @radioairhyper.bsky.social, is a No-Dice-No-Masters inspired game that has you all play beach creatures looking for shinies, which you will use to pay tribute to the Goose King. I adore all of the character playbooks offered in this game.
