Can you crop that part of the video out or would it corrupt the content?

Writing is amazing, but publishing is a different story. If youโ€™re going to put yourself through publishing, make sure you write the stuff you love. Always.

My hot take is that if you buy a game digitally you should own it for every platform

Stay tuned for my Fall 2026 #MSWL! I mean, honestly, itโ€™ll mainly call for blood, guts, lust, and queers but Iโ€™ll figure out a way to show I have well-round rounded tastes ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Timothy Olyphant and Babou Ceesay in an elevator, still from Alien: Earth

The robot Kirsch (Olyphant) is grinning on the left while the cyborg Morrow (Ceesay) is lightly smirking back. They were basically taking verbal shots at each other while both serving the exact same role for two separate companies. They're even basically wearing the same dull grey, making it appear like it's a shared uniform

the scene with olyphant and ceesay in the elevator should win an award

might be my favorite scene from the show so far

am so happy olyphant never fell off

guy just keeps climbing and doing cooler and cooler stuff

Book cover for This is How We Roll: A foursome of players surround a table. The DM with light brown skin and hair in a bun holds a d20 between her fingers and sits in a wheelchair. The players are a white gender nonconforming person with two toned hair and a mug that says dice goblin, a dark skinned girl with hoop earrings looking flirtatiously at the DM, and a boy with dark hair and gold hued skin wearing a sweat band in the colors of the trans flag. Above them, a large speech bubble depicts their characters: a firbolg with a dagger and bow, a blue skinned trifling in a purple dress, and a green skinned half-orc wearing heavy armor.

Hey, did you know my queer TTRPG anthology releases in just SIX DAYS?? It's full of queer coming of age stories set around the gaming table. If that sounds up your alley, you can preorder from Always Here Bookstore to get a signed bookplate and sticker!
