In recent years, Game On director Theresa Loong has been prototyping #gamedesign workshops. "I love leading these workshops because it allows the audience to participate in actually making #games!" Read more in Theresa's most recent #Substack post: gameonthemovie.substack.com/p/bringing-a...

@johnromero.bsky.social Has anyone pointed this out, that your book makes a cameo appearance in the latest season of Dexter? 😈

I also got the Completionist achievement on Balatro, so I probably could have finished a few more books, but like…

Just finished A Thread of Violence by Mark O’Connell. Gripping, well-researched reporting where the author’s story weaves seamlessly with the subject’s. A brilliant read.

I have been listening to Reclaiming with @monicalewinsky.bsky.social. It’s enjoyable and inspiring, with a good bit of laughs, too. I well remember the framing of 1998, how her character was absolutely assassinated. I am so inspired by her reclamation of her story/space that I had to share.

I was up at 6:30, excited to read a draft of an essay I am working on. Twenty-year-old me would be scandalized by this event, not to mention its public revelation.

I just got this bag from the Irish maker Anxious Preoccupied. I could fit my desk in here! Absolutely love it and the beautiful pop of green. anxiouspreoccupied.com

We’re so fortunate to have a festival like Cúirt right on our doorstep. This year, I have gone in for the workshops, and they have been well worth it.

Hope to see you tonight at 6pm at Charlie Byrne’s!

Fresh off a call with the upcoming speakers of #1reasontobe at this year's GDC. It's going to be a great session!

If you were teaching a 12-year-old to code today, and you had access to an Apple II, would you consider starting there? I find the “I get it!” rewards then were greater than the rewards now. I also like being close to the machine. An admitted bias.

I am reading Memoir: An Introduction by G. Thomas Couser for my PhD, but I really want to be reading Heart, Be At Peace by Donal Ryan.

Here's hoping more Irish lit mags will join the great migration, but for now I've included all the ones I could find!! go.bsky.app/M7713mj

I am here, finally.
