@madzbrutal.bsky.social and my article on Ocarina of Time, trans movement, tool-assisted speedruns, and code injections is out today at @jcmsjournal.bsky.social!
Link finally gets the Triforce and we can finally resolve the age-old question of "is speedrunning queer???"

A title slide showing an eel with the words "Liches, Lampreys, and the Moon: An incantation for trans life & lyrical play" as the title.

‼️I have a new article out this week! 🎉
From anti-game jams to fantasy console communities, I explored how ✨ speculative game design ✨ practices are a vital response to growing precarity in tech industries.
Also, it's open access! Also, it won best paper at #FDG25! 🏆

I'm crushed to not be at SCMS in meatspace this year, but grateful to @guyintheblackhat.bsky.social for coordinating a panel on games & political economy to kick off the conference! Should be a great conversation, and I hope the early birds enjoy my little video on fantasy consoles & anti-games 🎮🔥✨

PB in a witchy tattoo parlor, looking at my arm in a mirror and beaming!
Tattoo closeup! Right bicep and shoulder. Chaos--the character from Hades and Hades II. They have a halo and are wearing a suit that warps into shifting faces. A deep purple spacey background. Mostly linework, with color to come.
Started some new ink!!! Featuring my beloved Mxtress 💜✨Chaos✨💜, whose boons I'm taking into this high-heat run of 2025.

Mmm, it's risky cause SeaTac TSA is 💀💀💀, but they do post their current wait times online. If it's not too bad, you can take the light rail straight into the city from SeaTac (~45 min each way), and at least have an hour to go around and see the sights!
