Hi. I've been trying but I can't come up with a good thing to write here because the thing I wrote in this steam post took most of my energy.

「something somewhere inside you just isn't getting the memo」 it sucks to be us is a Twine game about feminism and trans people who suck at being lesbians, made in two weeks for #TransMLMJam2025. Cover art by @nommedeploom.itch.io, 11k+ words long with 5 endings. tofurocks.itch.io/it-sucks-to-...

Wishing y’all a tricky, magic, wonder and inspiration-filled day no matter what you celebrate, in tribute of the magic we find, create, and seek, whether together and apart!

When life gives you lemons, bedazzle them. When a generational curse gives you wiggly Fullmetal Alchemist Homunculi shadow arms, you bling those out!

The latest song from Korea’s Balming Tiger and American singer/DJ/producer Yaeji, “wo ai ni” (I love you), is gloriously catchy and is now living in my head. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZqk...

I really love gremren's big cats in scenery series and now we can have them on travel card stickers (like for Myki or opal or snap cards 😍)

Yup. I furiously wrote several papers about this when doing my PhD. All thar "advice" does is act as a panacea for the wealthy and food secure and allow them to brush off the hunger and visible need for food: thespinoff.co.nz/society/09-0...

this game was delightful & educational 😊

I'm still thinking about this conversation piece about accessibility in games, and how that can coexist with difficulty, with the right design/features. I often forget that accessibility for disability should include intellectual and stamina considerations as well as physical.
