The "[PLACE] mentioned" meme template (an anime girl holding a wine glass and a bottle of champagne; see https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/brazil-mentioned) with the covers of two Sara Ahmed books (The Feminist Killjoy Handbook and Queer Phenomenology) photoshopped over the glass and bottle, respectively.
So bummed to have missed this year's conference, so pleased that Sara Ahmed made it onto the bingo card (using this as an excuse to repost my meme from last year's #GENerationAnalog )
I literally reposted this morning my comments to that effect in a keynote I gave last year at #GenerationAnalog — as well as how I engage with most folks who use the phrase as sloppy shorthand.
Yesterday @guyintheblackhat.bsky.social noted at #GenerationAnalog that we need institutions — but that as soon as something becomes an institution (no matter how small, shaky, contingent) it becomes a target.
I think about this a lot, as you can imagine.
Someone said next year’s #GenerationAnalog bingo card should add “AP as porn” and if that happens I’m figuring out a way to make an air horn noise.
#GenerationAnalog folks: it’s never a good time to generalize in the Discord about what Actual Play is & who makes it & how & their training based on 1-3 shows, but especially when I’ve just dropped an entire container of pico de gallo on my kitchen floor.
I can only take so much stress, y’all.

My dream for @bigbadcon.bsky.social was a wee “academic track” of researchers & makers together in the model of #GenerationAnalog, w/ funding for early career researchers.
Sean & Ash proposed we call it Big Bad Academy & make it a stretch goal — now live, in collab w/ @guyintheblackhat.bsky.social.
The front page of the article, titled "The Table and the Tomb: Positioning Trans Power and Play Amid Fantasy Realism in Dungeons & Dragons."
The hashtag #KeepGamingFantasy displayed over an illustration of the elf-god Corellon Larethian cutting out the eye of the orc-god Gruumsh.
New article out today in 🎲 Games & Culture 🎲!
Originally presented at #GenerationAnalog 2022, I discuss reactionary Dungeons & Dragons fans, fantasy realism, transphobia, and diabolical ~elf blood lore~! 🐲⚔🩸
