CDOT lost the best of our team yesterday. We're heartbroken. In memory of Riley O'Neil, please refer to these bike racks as "Riley Racks". He led Chicago's bike parking program for several years. Our hearts are broken, but we want to make sure his legacy lives on 💙🚲 Please spread the word

PAINT ON THE STREET IS NOT BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE PAINT IS NOT INFRASTRUCTURE PAINT. IS. NOT. INFRASTRUCTURE. can i ask how many people need to die before this is drilled into the ten-thousand-mile-deep crust of every department of transportation that exists?

in march, i visited seattle for the first time. it was an important week in my life. i wrote a story about one particular, special day from my visit. please enjoy it! (there's some gay staring in there, too. if you skip over those parts, i'll have to report you for being straight. happy pride!!)

is there a better platform for hosting easily accessible writing beyond substack? a personal website is of course the most ideal option, but in the meanwhile i would *quite* like to use a platform that does not like the pockets of nazis

i - say it with me now - FUCKING LOVE CHICAGO ILLINOIS and i keep having experiences that make me want to shout this from the rooftops in unison with my friends and neighbors

i'm running sonic forces on june 7th for the online Sonic and the Glitched Gauntlet marathon!! (send me your good luck for pyramid skip!)

bon appetit a la amtrak (nextgen acela edition 🚄)

FORM FEST CHICAGO form turns 8 in the windy city 🌆 FEATURING PERFORMANCES BY: @canofbliss.bsky.social @defsharp.bsky.social @direct.wtf Marcix @rekondub.bsky.social @wishlane.bsky.social JULY 11TH, 2026 @ BOOKCLUB CHICAGO #FORMFESTCHICAGO

my SGDQ 2026 submission is submitted (!), and ... also tried something new and long-awaited by sending a volunteer application. having been attending GDQs for nearly a decade, it only feels right. here's hoping!!

what if i visited the pacific northwest for the first time in my life, starting tomorrow.....? hahaha just kidding... unless,

i'm *past* the point where any art form being referred to as """content""" elicits a viscerally angry response within me, and it saddens me all the same when i see artists, writers, game developers, and more do the same thing to their own work. your creations exist for so much more than consumption.

we will deal with libel later on

seasonal affective disorder? yeah, it's rather effective at that

⚠️ Spoiler I guess? Wanted to sketch Sazantos in just b&w sooo

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

"it's fine to dream" by you are an angel my new album OUT NOW! hope you enjoy <3 awawawaworld.bandcamp.com/album/its-fi...

smwc.me/s/41451 my first & last update for "just like amy; exactly like amy" has been approved on smw central! minor fixes! with this, the era of this project in my life has truly come to an end. to anyone who's given it a shot - even if you didn't like it! - thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

the video game industry is a mess

so maybe it *is* possible for listening to very specific songs to become tantamount to self-harm

can't stop thinking about how octopath traveler 0 in its endgame depicts the most completely valid antagonist crashout i've played in a game. i can't be anything but sympathetic for him, really

in 2019, i began a vaguely-recurring bit where i posted tiny comedic short films! for your viewing befuddlement, here's a thread of them on bluesky so they're not lost to the void anymore! (note: contains pre-transition & very early-transition amy! not that i mind!) #1 kit k at (may 9, 2019)

the best time to start *NOT* sequestering information in your communities on discord exclusively was in 2016. the second best time is NOW. backup everything. archive everything. POST everything on forums that won't be subjected to abhorrent enshittification & surveillance. DON'T fucking capitulate.

one of the things i'm going to do with this year is make it my speedrun renaissance..... i got GOALS and UNFINISHED DREAMS, gosh dangit!!!

me when girls kiss on top of me

A game doesn't need to be 'by and for fans' aftermath.site/life-is-strang...

today i'm releasing something important to me. "just like amy; exactly like amy" is my first ever kaizo smw hack. it's a deeply personal 12-level game about excitement, grief, trauma, joy, and a myriad of other feelings. if you have knowledge of basic kaizo tech, give it a shot! smwc.me/s/41428

back home!!! goodbye gaydgq. not only was it gay but it was comfy... sgdq26, i Will be In You

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

communication and socializing is SO FUCKING FUN

we're so BACK!! i had a couple-year gap, but it's finally time for gdq'ing again! featuring a @v-input-output.bsky.social! as *always*, if you see me around the venue or the city and want to say hi, please feel free!

gonna be committing some WILD love crimes this new year (jailed for being too in love...only if they can catch me first!!)

bon appetit a la amtrak

only packing the essential games for AGDQ!

a corner of memories nearly begins making its approach #smw

THE QUARTER-CENTURY!!!!! 🎉 and hopefully a few more of them to come!

quick castti doodle in the middle of rendering comms🤸

being catcalled on the street when it's 15 degrees outside is fuckin' wild. why exactly are you trying to pick up women at all, let alone in the frozen tundra of chicago in december? how about you "pick up" directions to the nearest open grave and throw yourself in there

"...oh, and yeah, i *still* went to the grocery store after that." hahaha. i couldn't stop laughing.

it snew

i had a dream that i googled a question and this is what it gave me

waking from wonderful wobblyness... and the dream is ongoing. i couldn't be happier.
