It has certainly been baffling to see Rascal's owners tout that it took six writers six months to complete their Yazeba's article only to turn around and say they were unaware I was a contractor. I'm credited as the book's cocreator and PCG's website "About" page lists all three of their employees.

As a central Gamergate target I don't love having a meme reference to the worst years of our lives being tossed in as a gotcha reference. My issue is with the editorial approach because I don't feel qualified to speak on the rest of it. Thank you.

There is also obviously a series of intersectional issues that surround the topic and the timeline and I'm not going to comment on the ones that aren't in my lane. But I will say that this approach to reporting failed to protect everyone featured in it, and that sucks, whatever side you fall on.

It's important to note that one of the things Rascal did to market the piece was talk about how long they spent working on it, despite not reaching out to key people, properly fact checking claims, or structuring damning quotes within proper context. Why would anyone trust them after this?

Chase Taylor-Carter contacted me this morning to rectify Rascal's oversight. While I would have gladly given statements or an interview prior to the story's publication, the article that went to print left me uncertain that any information I gave would be taken in good faith, so I declined.

Cmon now guys. If any Dem says anything besides shut down until this is all gone then there's no need for federal government at all. These are concentration camps. If you're too scared to say so then you're part of the problem.

a fun thing about being on a lot of medication is you can do everything right and sometimes your body just goes "yeah so we're gonna spend the next day being violently sick" and you can't really do anything about it, and you either lose your weekend or sick leave, it's great

discovered some life-changing ttrpg tech during friday’s session: after taking a mid session break, before getting back into the scene, do a sports style locker room interview with each player (in character). it’s 1) funny 2) focusing 3) immediately and personally characterizing

It's my birthday so by law you have to at least visit the shop and go "wow what a good girl you did this all by yourself" & some local bylaws demand a purchase. I don't make these laws!

one of the first things i did after moving into a neighborhood that gets fucked with by cops was rip out every bit of smart tech surveillance, there are ways of checking who's outside without installing a machine that will be weaponized against your neighbors

It's an odd landscape. I do think there are good outlets out there and I'd love to see Rascal change and improve but it's a fairly long road from my standpoint.

It's a win win scenario for you.
