RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

It's hard to narrow them down, but I feel pretty good about this list #my9games

All wonderful games! If you love historical fiction and great characters, you should pick these up!

Man it really feels insane watching the global order break down in front of me. like is my anxiety disorder especially bad today, or am I aware of how supply chains work and able to read the news

happy womens history month to all of the wonderful women and femmes in games. you are so loved and appreciated even when this industry continues to disrespect us💗💗💗

Overall, I thought Requiem was a wonderful culmination of the series. It was an affectionate send-off, which unfortunately meant the absence of certain characters was very much felt, but that's really my only complaint, and I know it wasn't feasible to include *everything*.

I loved RE9. I've seen complaints about its back half, but I enjoyed it because there were so many different things to do. A lot of it felt like action-oriented puzzles, figuring out how to traverse areas and clear rooms. It didn't feel as tedious as the last 1/3 of Village to me.

For ppl who aren't aware:
Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut.
They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures.
You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!

This is amazing! I would love to read it!

I'm Still Not Over Losing My Book Review Gig You can still get the Humble Bundle of every book by Annalee Newitz and myself published by Tor Books for a pittance — please select adjusted donation! — and...

"The notion of making a living with A.I.-generated books appears to be based on the belief algorithms will be serving up book slop the same way we are force-fed other kinds of slop"

I'm still not over losing my job as a book reviewer. Here's why we need book critics:

Yay! Here's one of my favorite songs!

If you don’t read old stuff you’ll never discover that people in the olden days had the same thoughts and feelings and dreams and anxieties you do, sometimes articulated differently, sometimes exactly the same way. You are never truly alone in anything and old writings are a neon sign telling you so

Ain't We Women, Too? For many incarcerated women, the state is their abuser, but the gender-based violence we experience behind bars goes ignored.

First up, we decided to drop the paywall on @kwanetaharris.bsky.social's piece  because it's so powerful and urgent. Kwaneta writes about how the state is her abuser as an incarcerated woman. Read for free here: 

I've known this guy my whole life

A dark and stormy Friday 13th is a perfect time to jump into Scarlet Hollow if you haven't already.

The second half of the latest episode is coming next week and I need time to go much faster than it currently is so I can see what happens.

Yesss the atmosphere is incredible! I'm so glad we're going to Scotland in the '90s as well. I'm all for SH games being in new locations as long as they capture the series' atmosphere, and they really seem to have succeeded in that.

Silent Hill Townfall looks incredible. The music! The protagonist! The monster design! The analog tech! Exclamation points!!!

Only Trump's anti-life administration could spark a headline that includes the words "repealed the bedrock scientific finding"

No problem at all! It's a beautiful zine. I'll try not to scare myself too much by reading it at night!

A photo of Hellebore magazine issue 14, the mirror issue, featuring an image of a woman facing away from two mirrors showing reflections of her face from different angles.

Got my first @helleborezine.bsky.social issue in the mail today! I had to get the mirror issue because mirrors are my biggest irrational fear and yet they fascinate me at the same time. Can't wait to dig into this!
