So I have some exciting news: Today is my last day at my corporate job. I got a job doing social media for board games and I cannot be happier! It's a big change, but I think it is exactly what I need.
I'm really tired or comic strips and jokes about women getting angry at men about board games (ie. how much they cost or how much time they spend on them). This kind of stuff promotes the idea that women don't enjoy games and don't consider them worth spending money on.

I stand by all of the amazing people in our industry who are working towards a more inclusive and safe gaming community. If you don't like that, don't follow me.
Applied for a writer position with Kotaku. It's been a while since I saw a job that I felt I was perfect for, but this might just be it. Keep your paws crossed for me.
State Sen. Nathan Dahm (R-OK) has penned several bills loosening gun restrictions, including the nation’s first anti-red flag law. He thinks these bills protect the Second Amendment – and that they make us safer. We think it's probably one or the other. Watch it on

Deleting the dating apps because I want to meet someone the old fashioned way (mid-battle our swords clash. We lean in trying to overbear the other and suddenly kiss passionately. The swords drop and we realize that we may both be fighting for the same thing...)
Wow the responses to a BIPOC Lounge at Gen Con are making it really easy to figure out which trolls to block today. It is unfathomable how much hate these people have within them.
It perpetuates this myth that gaming is a man-only hobby and that is totally bullshit. Pretty much every woman I know, enjoys board games/video games/roleplaying in some form or fashion.
As a bonus the comic above also indicates that men don't do housework. Gimmie a break.
What cosplay made you feel the most powerful?
Due to my glasses and some dysmorphic issues triggered by seeing myself with any hair longer than a pixie cut, I can’t really cosplay much. But I absolutely loved getting to don the red fedora. Carmen made me feel ALIVE. 💋

Heading to the airport to fly home to my Meeple. I had an amazing time this Gen Con and got to see a lot of my old pals which always makes me happy. I'm sorry if I didn't get to say hi to anyone this convention, but hopefully I'll catch you at PAX U. Bye all!
