Sadly, my contract with Blizzard ended in September. That means I'm looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! www.hazelmonforton.com

I'm this close to jumping onto Linux fully.
So sick of Microsoft's never ending list of bullshit.

*uncontrollable facial tick returns*

it's on miro. it's literally on figma. you have to log into okta. it's in jira. it's on zoom. it's on pureref. it's on flow. it's on perforce. it's on slack. you can find it on slack. you can go to slack and find it. log onto slack right now. you can slack it. slack has it for you. it's on slack.

I really appreciate the support, thank you!! 😭
One day it's gonna be like driving a car (and better)

Ahhhh! I'm glad you're enjoying it!
I'll admit, I've been having a rough time lately (my nerves shot up for no reason, and my confidence has been low) but I'm getting back into the swing of it and trying to have fun again.
The highs are high, the lows are low (ugh, bad aviation joke)

a photo of Santa Clarita, at night, from the air

Oh here's a neat little photo of Santa Clarita, coming back from Bakersfield via the Newhall Pass 2 nights ago! Night flights are awesome but also present a whole 'nother layer of complexity.
(at least there's minimal traffic!)

Completed my long solo cross-country just now. That's one way to obliterate your nerves and make you reach a stress induced calm state lmao

Absolutely

this is literally never not accurate

Listen I’m just a girl who has played a lot of Crusader Kings 3 but uhhh both parties couldn’t be doing a better job setting the stage for a peasant revolt/potential revolution if they TRIED

The "Two Party System" is a lie. You just have one party, with one side that wants to murder you and the other that likes to pretend it doesn't want you murdered (but participates when it thinks nobody is looking)

Another day, another moment the Democratic party can't ride the positive momentum and MUST shoot itself in the dick

Mamdani logo with the text "I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less for I'm not kidding"

close enough ✅

Mamdani's line that billionaires spent more to oppose his candidacy than he proposed to tax them really says it all.

Like a company that shuts down a profitable location as soon as it unionizes. The principle of maintaining control is more important.

Me: Man. I feel like shit and my work looks like shit

*forgets I got zero sleep*

Me: Hmm. But what would do this...

There are DOZENS of us!!

I, personally, can't wait for them to move the hell on from the TotK setting (as somebody who hated TotK).
I think folks are burnt out.

1) What a cool job!!
2) My sympathies! 🥲

Movie trailers that are constantly interrupted with overlays or inserts of written accolades never fail to completely eject me from being hooked.

Getting to do shit for yourself before everybody else drains you feels incredible. Nothing beats the feeling of a 2am hyperfixation frenzy, but early morning comes close.

Got me feeling like the crypt keeper seeing this ancient relief

What I really want everyone, not just folks in New York, but EVERYONE to come away with from this, is that ANY of these motherfuckers can be challenged. Their stance in the status quo is THAT flimsy, and their grip is fucking FRAGILE. We CAN change this shit, dude

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

If you’re wondering what the future of the Democratic Party looks like, watch the young, brown democratic socialist on the TV right now.

THAT'S AMERICA'S MAYOR BABYYYYYYY

Land of the free (to circumvent democracy, if you're rich / in power)

I just hunted down a preview of it and yeah, it's blatant lol

If it ain't broke, don't reinvent the wheel.
