Ashley

LASIK is insane. I still can’t spend too much time looking at screens, but I can SEE! I keep thinking I need to take out my contacts or remove my glasses but my eyes are just LIKE THIS now

I legit could not have done this without you! You’re amazing!

I would also like to point out that no AI was used in the process of writing my abstract. Just good old digging around in my book collection, talking to coworkers and friends, and geeking out with @hadeeljeanne.com over multiple drafts until I got something that really felt strong.

My abstract was accepted! My first publication, and I get to combine both of my professions ahhhh!!!!

Let me get my calluses back on my fingers first. I’m in so much pain right now 😅

Started playing my guitar for the first time in a very long time. I am ✨not good✨ but I do it anyway

She’s just standing there… MENACINGLY

Well now I know! We’re doing a spa day next time I visit you

We’ve been a little busy behind the scenes. So excited for next week! 😍

I got a massage for the first time over the weekend and omg my body doesn’t feel like absolute shit while I’m sitting and working for the first time in a really long time? I feel like I could cry so much pain is gone 😭

Listen I am not good at taking photogenic pictures of my cupcakes but I swear irl they’re delicious glittery perfection

Me: I should relax today
Also me: bakes over 50 mini cupcakes and makes dinner without taking a break between

In game dev you either die a hero or live long enough to work on Fortnite

It's official KOG is greenlit! Can't wait for you all to see what the team has been cooking up! #KnightsofGuinevere #KOG #Glitch #glitchproductions

Giving myself daily psychic damage thinking about the type of game I would love to play and knowing it would likely never get funded and I am unfortunately one tiny game dev noodle who can't make it myself

Age verification? I’ve used a floppy disk

Becoming an Olympic figure skater just so I can make the whole world listen to a video game song

Whoop forgot about Sociology of Gender the best class I decided to take last minute. Life-changing tbh

And undergrad edition cause I took WAY too many cool classes to not gush about them:

1. Ghosts and Fairies in the Age of Science
2. Witness to Violence
3. Early American Folklore
4. Contemporary European Cinema
5. Religious Violence

10/10 would absolutely take that class again. The professor was amazing!

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college:

Grad School Edition!
1. American Avant-Garde Theatre
2. Fantasy Studies
3. Postmodernism
4. Icelandic Sagas
5. History of Stage Design

And for funsies this bill to designate the state cactus of Washington:

This bill concerning sexually explicit depictions of minors:

Going on strike isn't just about taking off work. It's about using that time enact change in your community. For me that means researching bills going through my state's legislature and emailing my reps about them. If you're in WA I recommend this bill on the use of face coverings by law enforement

That feeling when I’ve been lowkey panicking about a big task only to find out world art already did like 90% of the work before I even got to it

Submitted my abstract for a book chapter about costume design and video games. I titled it "Can’t Slay Gods if You Don’t Look Cute: How Game Design Shapes the Stylist Player Fantasy"

Please summon all the good vibes for my submission to get accepted!
