Hey! I'm helping to put together a two-spirit/indigiqueer cabaret show for August in Tiohtiahke/Mooniyang/Montreal and we are seeking performers of all kinds to submit! It's well-paid and we have some (limited) budget for travel if needed for out-of-town artists! www.instagram.com/p/DZY11xtDLCu/

It's here! The Power of Pride Bundle 2026 is now live on Itchio! All in support of 284 queer creators and their 396 creations. View the bundle on Itchio here (until July 6): $60 Bundle: itch.io/b/3682/the-p... $10 Pay-What-You-Can: itch.io/b/3684/the-p... #PowerofPride2026

To celebrate being shortlisted for this award I've changed the access level on my "making of Skin Deep" post from paid to free. The game is one that has been percolating for almost a year, and suddenly came together this winter in a whirlwind of inspiration. www.patreon.com/posts/145546...

Don't forget, if you like Skin Deep, to vote for it in the Independent Transfemine Awards! indietransfemaward.wordpress.com/2026/05/02/a...

Buffy’s Nicholas Brendon’s death is the sixth of The WB stars since 2024 Brendon tragically joins a growing list of The WB stars dying young. But why is this happening post-pandemic? www.thecanary.co/global/world...

Oh no. Please... not an existential threat. Please don't price out the vast majority of players from games that rely on high-fidelity graphics. ( throws hand dramatically over forehead) Whatever shall we do. What would players play if they couldn't have Ultra Graphics Games. What would become of us.

I asked Marvel Rivals to explain what was offensive or inappropriate about my username multiple times, after having it for over 8 months and using it on not only their platform but other services as well without issue. This is their answer. #queererasure #homophobia #bigotry

Hey, @marvel-rivals.bsky.social, "queer" is not a slur. My username for the game has been "queer-time" since I started playing in Feb. That's my username for other platforms. It's never been an issue until today. This was clearly automated from a complaint and so was the support email response.

HNW is part of the 🏳️‍⚧️🕹️ Trans Games Zine 🏳️‍⚧️🕹️ project—a community-based platform built by the lovelies at @softchaos.games.

Strangers on the Net by @softch by @softchaos.games is awesome enough it made me sign up for Gamefound, which I'd been avoiding—not on principal, but because I don't need one more platform. But here we are. I find it preposterous that it hasn't already funded. gamefound.com/en/projects/...

Throwback to last weekend's @qgcon.bsky.social, where I got to moderate a discussion with a wonderful group of organisers.

Still thinking about how lovely @lackingceremony.bsky.social was on Friday @qgcon.bsky.social when I showed up at the presenters dinner feeling super shy and not knowing anyone. Then I got to see her talk on TTRPG "loose, touchable design for leaky, excitable creatures" which was so fucking good!!!

🌈💖 Hey y'all, coming @qgcon.bsky.social this weekend online? Want to? @metaparadox.bsky.social is running Ship of Theseus on Friday and still has some player slots! You can join on the QGCon discord! It sounds like an incredible larp -- it reminds me of "Here is my Power Button", which I loved!!!

Putting the finishing touches on my deck for my talk about asexual and aromantic characters/relationships in games for @qgcon.bsky.social 🥰

If you're attending @qgcon.bsky.social and want in on the 2-hr session of this that I'm running of this, give me a holler!
