A reminder that even in his lifetime, Christopher Columbus was considered so horrendously cruel that the people responsible for the goddamn Spanish Inquisition went, “oh my god, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU???” and had him arrested and stripped of his titles.
Remembering in 3rd grade when my mommy made me an umeboshi 🍙 & my white classmates made fun of me. Then the most popular boy in class said, “That looks good. If you don’t eat that, I will.” and the kids backed off. Cory Smits, wherever you are I hope you’re having a good Sunday.
I used to love Harry Potter. Went to every midnight release, cosplayed, was even in an HP themed improv group.
Now I’m happy to instead support & be part of fantasy narratives where ALL are welcome.
Trans community, we deserve our own better magic. I will always fight for that.
We’re incredibly excited to announce our cast for
#DragonAge

Rook: Alex Jordan, Bryony Corrigan, Erika Ishii, and Jeff Berg
Harding: Ali Hillis
Davrin: Ike Amadi
Bellara: Jee Young Han

Taash: Jin Maley
Emmrich: Nick Boraine
Manfred: Matthew
Some guy in this Shibuya club tried to grab me and kiss me. So I bit his face, his finger, stole his glasses, then ran into the women’s’ bathrooms to hide. This is not a bit.
Hey. I’m going to be making some exciting announcements soon that’ll likely draw the ire of trolls, bigots, & grifters.
I ask you please refrain from engaging. Don’t spare them any brain space, just support a non-profit in spite, keep loudly being you, & love what you love. ♥️
Sam Reich onstage giving his acceptance speech for Outstanding Game Show. It’s moving, it’s funny. He pulls a tiny telescoping mic from his pocket. Gestures backstage: “Doesn’t know I volunteered him to rant for my remaining 45 seconds… it’s Brennan Lee Mulligan!”
America has an ugly history of anti-Asian racism. My great uncle, who was in the internment camps like most of my family, had the evacuation poster on his wall until he died. A reminder. Never. Again.
Remember 2008 when Wall Street’s greed and lack of regulation helped bankrupt millions, leaving elderly without retirement, millennials without job prospects, and there was no significant change in policy and almost zero consequences for those responsible?
I remember.
How it started How it’s going
8 years after sneaking into a gaming show and meeting a Titan, I get to help continue that Legacy.
Happy New Season, legends. ♥️
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
@samreich
YOU ARE THE MODEL UPON WHICH I AND ALL OTHER CREATIVES SHOULD HOPE TO BUILD OURSELVES AND YOU ARE FUNNY AND ALSO UNBELIEVABLY KIND THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU
Call me “Mr. Treat Your Girl With So Much Respect and Admiration That She Reevaluates Her Standards and Begins to Ask For What She Needs Which Leads to a Frank Discussion After Which She Ultimately Ends The Relationship.”
There’s a beautiful woman in strappy goth lingerie on zoom showing me her Pokémon cards and either this is the best first date ever or my desperate quarantine brain made her up.
Traditional Hollywood didn’t want someone who looked like me. I’ve been in the industry since I was a kid, trained at Strasberg & UCB, but I only found success when I made my own content online. Now that marginalized performers have platforms, we’re going to tell our own stories.
“I feel so lucky that we got a little taste of the industry before it became what it is today. More streaming services… you’re famous from TikTok… you're famous from YouTube… you're famous from Instagram… it’s almost like it’s diluting the actor’s job.”

This doesn’t feel real. This can’t possibly be real. And yet I’m unbelievably honored to announce:
I’m taking on the role of Ana Bray in Destiny 2.
Eyes up, Guardian.
I was only mistaken for Awkwafina twice on the red carpet, and while I can understand the confusion because she *was* there in a suit, I was also standing in front of a GIANT POSTER OF HER FACE, PLEASE PEOPLE I AM BEGGING YOU.
High School Sophomore: Getting busted for rolling up 3rd edition D&D characters during English class
College: Staying up until 5am playing 4th ed in the dorms
2011: Campaign with fellow catering staff kept our creative dreams alive
Now we’re here.

Lance Reddick played my mentor in my first big game. Although we never met in person, it was an honor to play off him across time and studio space. His stellar performances and his joy in being part of the Destiny community will continue to inspire. Thank you, Commander. 💫
No one’s ever gonna believe that I just started a beyblade battle between
@erikaishii
and
@executivegoth
in the middle of the streets of downtown LA but I swear it happened.
I’ve waited my whole life to see an Asian-American superhero and
#ShangChi
was everything I hoped it would be. Honored to have been part of introducing this film to the world. Thank you,
@Marvel

A DUDE MESSAGED ME ON A DATING APP WITH A LAST OF US PART 2 SPOILER. After trying out dating on an app for a whole six (6) days, I’ve decided I would much prefer to die alone.
Absolutely THUNDERSTRUCK to announce I’m hosting the red carpet for
#ThorLoveAndThunder
Mr. Waititi is my favorite director and the cast is stellar. This one means SO MUCH to me for REASONS. Please wish me luck, that I will be professional & not scream, cry, or faint.
Today, my quiet little sister who knows nothing about gaming expressed an interest in D&D. We spent the afternoon rolling up her first character.
I am so thrilled we get to connect over games. This is one of the happiest days of my life.
I showed up on
@executivegoth
’s doorstep without telling him so we could play Irish music together. 6 feet away from each other. Happy Saint Paddy’s Day. 💚🍀
Was anybody going to tell me that Lou Worlds Beyond Number Dimension 20 Wilson did a D&D bit with Chris Pine on Kimmel or was I going to find out myself?????????
In 1941, my grandpa & the other Disney animators went on strike. They won better pay and the right to unionize.
Today, animation writers & production are still fighting for rights. Like grandpa, I believe the creators of our favorite stories deserve their due!
#NewDeal4Animation
I don’t know who needs to hear this but if you had dumb cringey opinions when you were younger and have since grown and matured to be embarrassed by your terrible hot takes, I hereby absolve you of that guilt. You’re not that person anymore! Go now, you are free!
$1.6 billion, the highest grossing animated film ever. Animation workers saved film/TV during lockdown, saw none of the profits THEY created and this issue isn’t unique, it’s industry-wide. Companies can and MUST provide workers a sustainable living!
#StandWithAnimation
Any Pixar employee laid off before ‘INSIDE OUT 2’ released were not able to qualify for their bonus for working on the film.
• Laid-off employees were asked not to come to the office to pick up belongings so remaining employees didn’t feel awkward
• One former employee said
Just once, I’d like to be swept into a waltz by a beautiful masked lover at a masquerade in a grand glowing ballroom, dance until we are flushed, then lose ourselves but discover one another in the labyrinthine hedge maze under a velvet canopy of stars IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK.
So you're a sad boy
Antihero bad boy
Brooding, sweater-clad boy
Troubles with your dad boy
I'm that glad type
Pixie dream girl mad type
Adventure to be had type
Think I’ll fix your sads type
I like sad guys (duh).

My sweet Mercutio the axolotl died today. I hatched him from an egg and hand-fed him as a larva. He’s been there for me through every move, life event, and heartbreak. Save this one. It’s insignificant compared to the tragedy around us, but I feel so very alone without him.
I started antidepressants 3 months ago. Yes, me. I seem super happy. Like I have it together, right? I do LOVE my life, but my brain is sometimes my worst enemy. It’s not a weakness to seek help. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Let’s normalize discussing mental health.
#WorldMentalHealthDay
What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works, huh?
I bought myself a couch for the very first time and this overly dramatic asymmetrical black velvet contraption feels so ME. One step closer to the cyberpunk videogame villain aethetic I aspire to. 🖤
Look. If a hot villain hands me a tailored outfit and tells me to put it on, I am going to do it with my chin defiantly held high, but I am a simple bitch so I will definitely secretly like it. 😔
