2025 was brutal for games media, but I'm seeing some glimmers of hope as worker-owned sites like @aftermath.site, @rascal.news, and @giantbomb.bsky.social have carved out vital spaces in the games community.
Earlier this year, I made a huge Indie Games Media starter pack for y'all. Let's celebrate.

My husband has his own radio show over at Rock Radio UK (The Cookie Rae Rock Show - Metal Radio UK) and he’s had the opportunity to interview some metal/rock legends and I’ve been editing them for YT! My favourite so far is his interview with lead singer of The Birthday Massacre, link in next post.
