There are no video games without video game developers. Trillionaire corporations will continue to treat devs as line items on a balance sheet unless we fight back. Join us on August 18th to #SaveGameWorkers, as we rally across nine studios in the US and Canada. More location details to come soon.

Last month's devlog will be two weeks late because I love creating more than telling you that I do lmao I'll get it up once I pull away from everything else. On my own, I've got the drive to do one single thing at a time lol

I've been trying to keep track of them in this moderation list and you can block them all in one go. I got some new ones added today as well. Tell me if you spot one as well!

It's officially my birthday! 37 years means I get 37 wishes, right? jk jk I do not need or want anything, but if you're feeling up for it, a kind word about my book would go a long way—such as a rec to a friend/family member, a review on Goodreads or StoryGraph, or a repost of the ongoing sale. ❤️

I finally decided to play the Deltarune demo. I LOVE it but calling Suzie a "mean girl" when I associate that term w/ socially savvy top-of-the-food-chain queen bee types who punch down is tripping me up every time.
