I like drawing and writing. I also like talking about games on @intothecast.bsky.social and youtube.com/@memorycardmanuscript

I have a humble request: if fewer and fewer places are giving out quarters, it should be illegal for landlords to make you use coin operated laundry units in an apartment building. I’m tired of asking disappointed tellers for coins. Thanks for your time.

Hanging out in Dagsion is frighteningly similar to entering the improv world in Chicago. Everyone’s on a team. Everyone who looks cool and fun is already booked. Whenever you catch a show, you leave feeling confused and upset. And the only people who want to join your team are three drunk guys.

Regarding recent events, I don't know if it's helpful for me to say anything. I didn't know Jacob and I didn't follow his work. Still, this news is devastating and I'm heartbroken for my friends who feel betrayed and brought back to dark places by this news. I want a better reality for you.

I have made a bargain with myself. It goes like this: I recognize that being noisy about things that I think are wrong might have cost me jobs and a more comfortable career. But if I am to work at all, I don’t want it to be because I kept quiet. A living made that way is not one I want.

if you are a dude and want to be an ally the answer is not in posting or spending money (though do that, sure) but in realizing how your presence can change the atmosphere of a room and that no one has any reason to know or care that you are “one of the good ones” and do what you can about that.

if you aren't already supporting @mothership.blog, you should be. support women and queer people in video game criticism and journalism. we deserve to exist in these spaces but, at least in the case of mothership, we can only exist and pay our writers and introduce you to new writers if YOU help us.
