It's #portfolioday! I'm presently a senior narrative designer at Blizzard, but before that I was at Bungie and Arkane. I wrote for the Writer's Guild award-nominated Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, and a bunch of critically acclaimed seasons and expansions in Destiny 2.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

“WHAT IS THE CHARGE? THROWING A SANDWICH??? A SUCCULENT SUBWAY SANDWICH?????”
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

Bertrand Russell, at 89 years old, to Sir Oswald Mosley, a man most famous for founding, in 1932, the British Union of Fascists.
I'm all for civil discourse. But everyone can and should draw a line at who they will talk to.
Notice that Russell did not demean himself with incivility, either.

22-year-old Māori lawmaker Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke was just suspended for 7 days over the haka she initiated in New Zealand’s Parliament last year.
“The rules of Parliament don't really see or fit Māori people,” she told @teenvogue.com, in the profile we ran just last week.
