Inspired by the melodious crooning* of my cat Cake, I make up songs while feeding my cats.
Today was an excerpt from an imaginary musical called Les Affamés, which is a mashup of Les Mis and Cats. Maybe some Oliver! in there as well.

Ugh. So. I was caught in layoffs months ago and things are getting a bit desperate. If anyone is looking to hire a 15-year industry vet with a bunch of awards to do game design, narrative design, content design, or writing (games or other things!), please hit me up.

When we're making plans and I say "it's in my calendar", I'm really saying that meeting you is important to me, so I've done my best to ensure it happens. I'll definitely have forgotten by then, but I'll get a lovely surprise reminder just in time!

If you're bargaining with an employer who's actively trying to remove your vacation, make it easier to lay you off, and curtail your right to grieve unfair pay, is it unreasonable to keep drawing pictures of them at the negotiation table even though it makes them uncomfortable?

#hamont friends, please spread the word and message me with sightings. From a friend:
"My cat Simon, 6yo, is missing. He is very skittish and scares easily. Escaped overnight by breaking through a screen window. Last seen June 21 at Brucedale and Upper Gage."

I think perhaps the most wrong autocorrect ever gets is when I want to write "queer" and it changes it to "quiet".

Each year in the not for profit public sector I am less willing to work in for-profit orgs.
Each week on a schedule tailored to me and to the work I'm doing I am more disillusioned with the standard of 9-5 M-F.
Each day I see others abused and denied rights I take my own situation less for granted.

Session 3 of 3 in our game of Microscope Echo. Somehow we managed to heal the timeline by bringing back a war in Vietnam? Also the US invades Canada because our food is too bland. But at least we avoided creating a time loop and irradiating the planet with capsaicin!
