Today I was laid off from io9/Gizmodo as part of a 23-person editorial restructuring. I leave behind work that was globally read, award-winning, deeply reported, & sometimes goofy despite the horrors.

I deserved better than this and G/O Media will be poorer for letting me go.

Who’s coming over to get railed in the watermelon?

I wanna start getting away from Twitter more, so hey, can you pass this post around for me and see if anyone would like to follow/be followed by a pokemon dnd podcasting, embroidering, dice bag making, poetry composing, plant adoring, FFXIV beholden, lo-fi loving, bisexual lady?

Everything I've heard about the Front Bottoms told me they were destined to be one of those bands that becomes my entire personality for a while, so I kept my distance for a long time.

But the right combination of factors (a heartbreak in Fall) has happened, and I can feel the prophecy coming true

The Vast. A Starfinder Actual-Play series. Image shows a dark, dusky cobalt blue planet that's mostly in shadows, the background is the starry space.

Fucking mood 💖🫂

part of maturing as a leftist is realizing that while theory is rad, the way to being a badass is to get folks fed, housed, and supported.

now, today. not later.

we have no idea if or when capitalism will be replaced with something better. act accordingly.

Building out NPCs for an upcoming game using various picrews and then asking myself with each one, "what gender fuckery can I include here?"

Recording Prelude III of our upcoming Starfinder series tonight :)

You can expect it out in pod format as soon as this weekend!

Just start writing whatever is on your mind. You can tidy it up later.

Nerds writing war is great because it's always "the hero unveils a grand strategy!" And the strategy is just a war crime.

Amazing! You were literally one of two people I was specifically thinking of when I posted this, give me a minute, and I'll message you on discord.

System will be Armour Astir: Advent a great PbtA fantasy mecha system with some influence from Forged in the Dark.

But rather than being commended, they are betrayed and set to be buried along with their discovery.

Thankfully through the use of this Armour they have survived their betrayal, now they must seek out the truth.

Who betrayed them and why, and could their discovery really mean the end of the war?

In a war fought for decades to contain an unstoppable evil using Armour Astir (magitech mecha), a lone squadron discovers an ancient and powerful Armour fueled by strange magic that could possibly help end the war for good.

If you follow me and you'd be interested in being in a ~6 session every other week streamed ttrpg game about high fantasy magitech mecha with lots of interpersonal intrigue, drama, etc. please drop a comment. (Pitch in replies)

I'd dm some of you directly, but bluesky doesn't have that option.

Probably missing Renn Fest this season, but the vibes are still here. NSFW flag is just due to the last photo being topless.

Amazing that I once described myself as an introvert when the circumstances that finally forced me to do months overdue game prep so I could stop improvising everything was *every* single one of my partners and close friends being busy and out of the neighborhood for the evening.

Real talk, that first summer of Pokémon Go was kind of incredible. Seeing people from all walks going around excitedly catching Pokémon and eagerly sharing tips with each other. Kind of felt like society was healing. But then it ended and everything got so much worse.

Congrats hun!

I'd highly recommend Amelia for your writing needs! She's done an amazing job with the stuff she's written for Abbadon!

If you have lots of cute friends/partners with autism, I'm gonna do you a favor, get yourself a soft velvet shirt or dress, the amount of hands constantly on me last night at the bar was *very good*

🥰 Thank yoooouuuu, you're one to talk!

I felt like a punky dirtbag lesbian and that is fully gender, but usually, I just see boy when I lean that way, so this meant something special.

Yeah, I think that's it 💖

Repost with your current favorite selfie.

I don't know why I love this silly vaguely masc coded food poisoned selfie so much, but I think it might be that in that moment, I still felt feminine despite not having a lot of the things I usually do to help me feel that way.

Our polycule/hyper localized queer community discord has been around for less than 24 hours and things are going well 😂

My goth, cottagecore, and punk aesthetics are finally starting to fully blend together into this new like street witch/urban fey/ecopunk thing that I'm absolutely loving 😊
