A reminder: if you want to support my work, buying my book is a great way to do that. If you want to read a book about how to get into fighting games, buying my book is also a great way to do that, but if you don't have the $ you can just DL it for free.

Hailey is one of the coolest people I know, and I'm so proud to be her friend. She's a trans writer, activist & educator. She's been having a rough time because her mother has cancer and she's been unable to work. I would consider it a personal kindness if you could give whatever you can spare <3

James Van Der Beek was part of one of the most influential shows of a certain era, a show that loomed large to a certain generation of critics. Beyond that, he was talented, willing to poke fun at himself & seemed like a good man. Extremely sad news. Way, way too young. 💚 people.com/james-van-de...

Jemma was tremendous to work with, embodying the character wonderfully. Aided of course by the stellar direction provided by @voiceofobrien.bsky.social. (I'm afraid I have to confirm. Liam is as wonderful a person as he is extraordinarily talented).

A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls.

Back in November, I gave a talk at a conference in Baltimore about The Video Game Writer's Guide to Surviving an Industry That Hates You. It's a little freeform and unstructured, but that was kind of the point, and everyone seemed to have a good time. Here you go! www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCrf...

If nothing else, if not for the AV Club's Random Roles, there's a decent chance we'd never have had the opportunity for Curtis Armstrong to tell his story about working on the Gary Busey film "Quigley".

as the new year is coming around the corner, I am still available for work! The job hunt has lasted longer than ever before but I have hopes for 2026. Need beautiful vistas? Need detailed foliage? Need a world artist who knows her photogrammetry? I am the Environment Artist for your team!

I am not reading enough thanks to my out of control ADD and life in general, and I really want to read some good queer woman fantasy novels. Aside from Gideon the ninth, what/who would you recommend? Please!

So guess what landed on my doorstep today?

To say this week has been difficult is an understatement. My family, my manager and other folks at work, along with my WoW guild and binging Critical Role have been my buoys.

Thinking of what could have been… Keyleth cosplay: @littlewitch-cos.bsky.social 📸: me Keyleth created by @marisha-ray.bsky.social and @criticalrole.bsky.social #criticalrolecosplay #criticalrolefanart #criticalrolecosplayer #criticalrole #cosplay #cosplayer #photographer #photography

The YouTube algorithm has been MURDER on reviews since August started - pretty please persons of BlueSky share this far and wide so I can continue to afford being alive and such: youtu.be/AAPU9t3MeY4?...

make YOUR difference!

I’m still looking for work, despite *gestures broadly* so if you have need of a writer or narrative designer or weird druid who lives in the back part of your property’s acreage, please lmk!

Thinking about getting a Critical Role tattoo and, while researching, Google AI gave me the surprising information that "The actor that plays Yasha, Ashley Johnson, is trans." Which was surprising to me. Though undoubtedly more of a surprise to Ashley Johnson.

ICYMI we're holding a special Writers With Drinks in Seattle, featuring "superstars of queer SFF": Cecilia Tan, Andrea Hairston, Becky Chambers, me, Annalee Newitz and Darcie Little Badger! It's Thurs 8/14 at 7ish. There will be queer vendors and fun stuff. Tickets are selling fast — RSVP now! <3

Cena and Rhodes put on a banger. Then the post-match return made my stomach turn. Disgusting.

Very sad to hear the news that Julian LeFay has passed. As one of the original creators of The Elder Scrolls series he was the lead developer on Arena and Daggerfall. I only met him once, and that was just in passing, so I didn't know him. His creation has had a profound impact on my career and life

FF is the most fun I've had with a Marvel movie since Endgame. The dynamics between the group, the optimism, and the authentically captured characterization that keeps all of them human without going for easy tropes all work beautifully. #FantasticFour

Soon, up to stay.

Get ready to catch those fists.
