Oh hey, I'm proud to contribute to worker-owned and independent new site Skybox!
This is my essay about having a stroke, losing the ability to write or walk or play video games, and digging myself out of that depressive hole using video games. It's maybe the most vulnerable writing I've ever done.

If passed, the SAVE Act would make it significantly harder for millions of eligible citizens to vote.
The House has already passed it — tell your Senator now to reject this bill and defend our democracy.

Stop the SAVE Act
The SAVE Act would keep millions of people from being able to vote – and would shut countless eligible voters out of our democracy. Urge Congress to vote no now.
