SF6
This is the third tournament in a row where I played uncharacteristically and catastrophically bad, and I’m starting to feel like something is wrong with me.
This would be so depressing.
Per the Discord, Ludovic is presently home and with his family. ❤️ Tears in my eyes. Now we fight like hell as needed until the attempt to deport him in May is a complete failure. #FREELUD
I have been denied kiss twice now because “I AM FRUSTRATED” as she is playing MORE Tomb Raider to find all the collectibles and I cannot stop LAUGHING, girlfriend truly in her first gamer era
It is such a fucking GIFT to email my agent about my WIP like, "I want to do this until I'm dead."
I've always been a storyteller. They're finally finding their way into print.
This industry does not practically love authors back... but I want to do this forever.
I WROTE 3,300 WORDS IN ONE NIGHT. I was afraid I’d forgotten how to do that.
I genuinely love this draft, even in its messy state. The broader themes are already starting to reveal themselves in the character arcs. So excited. Hope to God we can sell it.
Mindy is rolling CREDITS on one of the Tomb Raiders. She was on the PS5 while I was drafting.
This is the first video game she’s ever finished. With my involvement hardly at all, for that matter.
I’m so… proud? She finally found the kind of joy I do in gaming all by herself.
Wrote almost 2,000 words in the B&N cafe, in under 90 minutes—after enthusiastically pitching my debut to my very friendly barista (who remembered me)—and tonight I am just feeling very grateful to be alive.
More stickers added to the SF6 arsenal!
Maybe this is a good thing with the Alex patch only DAYS AWAY and hopefully reinvigorating my motivation to grind SF6.
I finished my second playthrough of RE9 last night. Got the secret achievement, collected all files, etc. I still have a few things left to do (speedrun with no items to get infinite ammo, then insanity mode) but don’t know how motivated I am to replay right now.
FOR REAL
Thank you, @aeriqui.bsky.social, and @sharpiepls.com so much for organizing and pushing the fight for Lud. It is an amazing feeling to wake up to this news on the West Coast.
You guys are champs.
I’m optimistic about the hearing in May when this much support has shown up, shown out, and influenced outcomes. Unfortunately I’m unable to attend on the hearing date that was floated in the Discord, but I have no doubt he’ll have people.
If we have the same NJ senators (Cory Booker/Andy Kim,) I’ve been made aware that there’s another unjust deportation case pending for Cristofer Ortega of Plainfield, NJ, who has been here since he was 9 and was pursuing legal citizenship. Please consider calling. Takes 5 minutes.
Sharpie did a fucking incredible job organizing on this site for #FREELUD. @sharpiepls.com ❤️
EVERYBODY SAY “THANK YOU” TO @aeriqui.bsky.social RIGHT THE FUCK NOW AND TELL HIM TO EXHALE DEEPLY AND DRINK SOME WATER
One of the leading organizers of #FREELUD and the actual architect behind most of the updates I’ve posted. A fucking hero as far as I’m concerned.
Money donated by the FGC from my sticker fundraiser. Now Lud can start to pick up where he left off. Thank you to everyone. We truly are what community should be.
This is the power of organization and community.
Way to go, FGC. I'm so full of joy, hopefulness, love, pride, & optimism.
Rest up and let this win ripple out.
Stay tuned for more updates, we have a bigger battle coming in May for Lud's removal hearing.
In the meantime, look at your impact:
FUCK YEAH!!!!
This is proof that what the world need is community, union, and kindness towards others. We can beat this bs!
Bravo, godlike FGC moment right there!!!
I’m mostly boosting the hard work of his close friends/family who had been sacrificing their mental health to get him home.
THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE LIKE LUD IN ICE DETENTION.
You do not have to stop finding small ways to resist when he is home.
FUCK ICE
BREAKING: WE DID IT!!! LUDOVIC IS COMING HOME!!!
The judge, clearly moved by 20 people turning up in person alongside 20 online, ruled entirely in Lud’s favor with low bond.
Update to come when he is home. The team is optimistic about his hearing in May.
#FREELUD
So let me get this straight.
That’s a star from School Library Journal, glowing praise from Kirkus, and now a recommendation from Booklist.
I think this book might be pretty good.
Thrilled to share that another major review publication recommends BETWEEN SUN AND SHADOW! 🩷💜💙
Full Booklist review will be public on April 1. The book will be yours on May 5. 📖✨

Apparently while I was autistic rambling at her last night with my migraine cold mask on, one of the NPCs got murdered, and she was just staring agape and horrified at the screen while I unknowingly continued to babble about… neither of us can remember. 😂
