Gung Ho Bookings is thrilled to welcome the prolific @julienathanson.bsky.social to our client list! 💪 She has lent her voice to countless iconic video game characters, including Samantha Maxis in the CoD franchise, Briar in League of Legends, & the opera-singing demon Baal Zebul in Bayonetta 3!

You are stronger than you let yourself remember.

Got the video!! Here’s the fun AI bit @alexaray.bsky.social and I did together when she hosted the GDCAs! (Yes, this was all done live!) (We had the best time.)

When @alexaray.bsky.social asks you to sit backstage at the Game Developers Choice Awards and voice an AI companion in a hilarious bit she wrote while she absolutely crushes hosting the show… you say YES. (And no, I don’t want to talk about my ex-boyfriend, Astro Bot.) What an amazing night!!!!

“We need to remember the joy in our work, so let’s use language that’s more fun.” - @alexaray.bsky.social in her awesome, informative, and entertaining GDC @officialgdc.bsky.social talk, “Babygirls, Daddies, and Himbos: Updating Archetypes for Compelling Characters.”

Having a blast at #GDC2025 this week! So excited for GDCA (Game Developers Choice Awards). If you watch in person or at home tonight, you just might… hear me… ;) twitch.tv/gdc?_mc=edit...

Seeing “The Matrix” in 2025 is like seeing the Matrix in 2025.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

I rarely post to FB, but I wrote something on 1/12/25 that I decided to make public. I want to share it here as well: I keep debating about whether or not to add to the conversation (here on Facebook) about the fires in Los Angeles. I guess I'll decide after I finish writing this post.

My dear friend Brecken, her daughter, and her husband lost everything in the Eaton fire… and her wonderful parents lost their own home as well. I love all of these humans. Please help if you can… gofund.me/8262af2c

A poem for my last day working at the writing center for the semester (by Joseph Fasano)

In October, I saw this house and was like, oh man, that’s so scary, all other Halloween decorations can go home. Now that it’s the middle of November, I’m like, oh man, that’s so scary, dental care is important.

Anyone else feel like the sky has been PARTICULARLY blue and beautiful today?????? 🦋

I saw this truck while walking this morning, remembering when such things awed and utterly delighted my son as a toddler, sending him into fits of clapping glee. The passage of time is a truck carrying a smaller truck.

Oh hi blue sky

LOVE voicing new-kid-on-the-racetrack Cruise on “Hot Wheels Let’s Race” this season on Nexflix! Collette Sunderman is an artist of a voice director, and I’m so grateful for her direction and collaboration all along the way! 💚💚💚💚

April 2024: “Oooo who do you play in Star Wars Outlaws?” Me: … May, June, July 2024: “What’s your character?” Me: … August 30, 2024: “It’s launch d—“ Me: 💥*explodes from NDA with joy*💥 IT’S ANK! THE CHADRA-FAN! I’M ANK in #StarWarsOutlaws! 💥 I love her so much!💥

It’s amazing how much better I feel after the nervous thing is over.

I was told my whole life I could never be a writer. I believed those voices and became a hairdresser. But I still wrote stuff, to amuse myself and others. People liked that stuff. I got my dream job. Don’t give up because others have.

My god I love my dog.

Lightest rain, softest moss, east-est coast.

BlueSky’s metamorphosis into a butterfly makes me feel all fluttery. 🦋

Love the writing, the tale, the end, and… “He wasn’t in any rush to arrive anywhere. Finishing a book—finishing anything, really—only took you closer to the end of the corridor. It was probably for the same reason that he resisted going to sleep every night until he was bleary with exhaustion.” ❤️

Doing another virtual signing! 12/12 at 4pm PT! I’ve re-opened my Streamily store with lots of prints, like my Starfield characters, Briar (League of Legends), Samantha Maxis, Jess Black, Baal Zebul (Bayonetta 3), and even Robin (Powerpuff Girls)! Link: streamily.com/JulieNathanson

Maybe reading about people getting tricked by Al isn't bringing home the message. The video in this link might. The technology is already excellent and already being weaponized, threatening safety, fairness, humanity. And of course... art. And jobs. And...and...and. www.c-span.org/video/?c5093...

Reminder: there's a Nationwide Emergency Alert Test on Wednesday & any phone that's on, even on silent, WILL make a loud sound. As others have pointed out, sometimes abused individuals keep phones hidden as a lifeline. It's important they know this is coming. Deets: www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

Look at this little puffball of possibilities just waiting for a wish-maker to send into the wind a hundred whispers in search of fertile dream-ground. So they may someday blossom into possibilities for more wishes.

why are two cups called a pint and not a cupple

Look, it’s a long story but the point is that I lost a spider and sleeping just isn’t an option anymore.

Thanks, I love it.

Dear blue sky, You seem nice. I hope you will be a welcoming, sustainable, and expansive habitat for birds to fly and nest. Love, Julie (and Einstein)
