The log lady from Twin Peaks facing the camera. She is a woman wearing a heavy sweater and glasses. She clutches a log in her arms protectively. She is saying, “one day, the sadness will end.“

Director David Lynch from one of his daily weather report videos. He is turning to a window, looking outside and saying, “but I don’t think today’s the day.“

The cover of Kathleen Stewart's Ordinary Affects. It is a white cover with a black and white image of three children in a suburban yard watching a tree burn.

On the other end I don't love the font but the cleanliness of Ordinary Affects is really nice

The War of Desire and Technology at the Close of the Mechanical Age is peak 90's cyber covers and an all time mouthful book title.

IT'S SO GOOD probably my favorite not scary horror movie

i bake my own so I freeze it all except half a loaf at a time

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

oh and Montreal is rad. good city.

FINALLY if you are an org who's like "oh masking as a con is impossible" you're wrong. Everyone masked, there were hepa filters everywhere, people tested before coming. i'm sure it wasn't easy or perfect but the priority meant I knew that qgcon and other attendees cared about a collective safety

at qgcon it was the opposite. i tried to stay far away while people were playing. I shared empathetic stares and shrugs afterward, we didn't need a conversation to know it was a shared experience. so I defaulted to giving the player space instead of being compelled (or asked) to explain myself

showing Poke. Stroke. Grasp. there as well gave me a new experience of showing that game in queer spaces. In normative game spaces I have to babysit my intense gender dysphoria game because cis-het players can have a lot of questions about my experience, my creative process, etc.

the other folks on my panel on queering controllers were the best. it was basically the QGCon Sara Ahmed Fan Club. It's the first time I've been apart of a panel and immediately we all tried to figure out how to continue working together afterward. just good vibes all around.

the q&a portion of every panel was positive and full of love. it made moderating conversation a breeze. panelists always had questions for each other which is my favorite.

what a lovely place and experience! the organizers were fantastic, all of the talks and games were inspirational. i was just overall impressed with the quality of work withing queer game making/studies.

Skeet a PERFECT Album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana

hi hello my husband recently accepted a job in Victoria, BC so we are hoping to immigrate to Canada before the year is over

soooo i will be leaving my in-office IT job and be out of work again. shares and job leads welcome!

this is maybe trite at this point but it is in your interest to find ways to create things. basically everyone wants you to be consuming nonstop. making stuff, from cooking to photography or whatever, can help you feel more in control. doesn’t even have to be something you share with other people

Today is the first day of our week long #fundraiser and the matching donors' pledge has increased! Please help us reach our goal by sharing this post!

yall is not formal enough for a '

the games press social media experience is like you sometimes step into a building and you can hear the dull, distant thumps of people having a knife fight somewhere in a floor above you. you're not sure if this is a new knife fight or an old one. you were outside

You are cordially invited to our Anti-Prime Sale, where every purchase will financially support bookstores, NOT billionaires 🥳

hi. i’ll be there with a game AND talk. come hang out. it’ll be cool.

I have a running theory that he’s a better director when he’s also the screenwriter. This is cause he can’t shoot dialogue to save his life so his own writing de-emphasizes dialogue and doubles down on visual storytelling. Just point the camera at the gross stuff!

Crash, Videodrome, and Naked Lunch might be some of the best movies I’ve seen. Spider and Eastern Promises are borderline unwatchable.

I set out to complete every Cronenberg movie this year to answer a simple question: is this guy a good director? I have three left and I’m still befuddled.
