I am proud to be the showrunner of @ishouldroll.bsky.social; if you’re looking for a queer-friendly sci-fi actual play podcast that doesn’t shy away from heavy topics or hilarity, check us out! We have queer folks and queer characters alike, and we’re just getting started…

And now I’ve been doing it as my primary job for almost four years. (Still love it.)
A screenshot of a Facebook status, dated January 30, 2023. The text reads “got to write this morning. Had forgotten just how much joy it gives her to tower. She should probably do more of it.”

And I suppose I should do it too…

Introduce yourself with four games: #MassEffect #Halo #Portal #Submachine
A promotional image for Mass Effect 3. A blonde white woman in black and red futuristic armour holds a gun in her right hand, wields a futuristic glowing orange “omnitool” on her left arm, and looks at the camera while giant machine destroy the city behind her. Fanart for Halo. On the left, a super soldier in futuristic dark green armour, including a helmet through which his face cannot be seen, looks at the person on the right, a purple, feminine, humanoid avatar of an AI. The AI’s right hand is lifted between them, and electricity crackles in her palm. A screenshot from the game Portal, showing the mechanical body of the AI GLaDOS hanging from the ceiling. It is vaguely humanoid-shaped, and her head is turned to look at the camera. A promotional image from the game Submachine: Legacy. Faded teal brickwork at the bottom half of the screen is split in the middle by a brass ladder which leads to a circular portal made of floating teal bricks.

This weekend at Hal-Con was more than I could ever dream. I am inspired, fired up to do what I love— and that is tell stories that mean something. Stories that speak truth, bring hope, challenge power, and spread love. Stories that meet us where we’re at, accept us, and bring us forward.
Two white women, Kaya Renwick (left; short blue and purple hair with a side buzz, glasses, black t-shirt) and Jennifer Hale (right; long silver hair with braids, black long-sleeve shirt) stand hugging. They point at each other with big smiles toward the camera. The text, “My Commander, my role model, my colleague, my friend,” is overlaid on the bottom-right quarter of the image.

Holy MOLY what a DAY. I finally met the incredible Jennifer Hale in person, we chatted for 20 frickin minutes, and she even says that my podcast is her favourite podcast on the Citadel. 😎 Also, Halifax puts on a heck of a con.
A small canvas showing a light blue Paragon wing from Mass Effect. It is signed, “Kaya, Fight on,” with Jennifer Hale’s signature. Jennifer Hale (left; long silver hair, white button-down shirt) and Kaya Renwick (right; short blue and purple hair, bright blue shirt) hug and point to each other with happy, excited smiles. A container of crocheted pickles with hair, eyes, and smiles. It is labeled “emotional support pickles”.

… excuse me, Mr. @gabrielurbina.bsky.social, but is this the reference I think it is??
Screenshot of a script. Text reads: Eiffel laughs weakly, and immediately groans in pain. Eiffel: Ughh… goddammit don’t make me laugh. My lungs are barely holding together as it is.

Someone’s happy his brother’s at daycare today
A black cat sits in comfy loaf position on a couch, facing away from the camera. A red plaid blanket fills the bottom-right corner of the image and the side of a dark gray laptop covers the left side of the image.

My dear dog picked the best stick this morning.
A harlequin Merle border collie stands on a snowy road through a light forest of mostly evergreens. He is staring at a stick that spans three-quarters of the road and is easily three times his length.

Me, listening to the post-credits scene of @edictzero 608: oh shit, oh fuck, oh SHIT

Afternoon nap here.
A white woman with dark hair, glasses, and a purple sweater lies on a couch with a black and white harlequin border collie. Both are facing the camera.
