My Year as the Killjoy Notes on Walking Away

I make no money on this. On the contrary, I am losing money. I am okay with that so long as I can pay my writers (relatively) well for guest spots.

for my Stop Caring debut, a deeply personal piece about 2000s diet culture and the ways Consume Me abandons its disordered players.

this piece really has my heart and soul in it. it wasn’t easy to write, and it’s not an easy read, but it’s important.

extremely grateful to Artemis for the home 💜

It’s so cool that almost every American news source is covering ICE at airports as if they’re doing the work of/helping assist the TSA, as if what ICE does/has been doing for the last year was erased from their minds, as if ICE had the training to do anything other than brutalize kill and kidnap ppl

Hey, has anyone heard from Bravo team? They haven't sent in any messages since they went to check up that mansion in the Arklay Mountains

INCREDIBLY late to this, but i just finished it and love every second. beautiful poems and meaning in a haunted enviornment, not to mention the important context of Nathalie's rape and the subsequent betrayal from Kotaku/general games press and the internet harassment campaign against them

some games are art and some are toys and there's no clear distinction regarding which is which. Sometimes toys can have a profound impact on you and sometimes art doesn't move you. there's barely anyone left in the room so it's not like we're lacking the space for everybody to have different ideas
