Regular reminder that we need radical systemic change.

Friendly tip that Threads & Bsky are much better and less toxic. I'm @teaandtachyons everywhere. Almost always on Threads, occasionally on Bsky. Find me there :)

One minute you're writing an article about the mythology of Star Trek; the next you're neck deep in Medieval Icelandic literature. Usually I can retrace my steps, but I'm not even sure how I got here 😂

Quietly writing an article about the mythology and folklore within Star Trek cultures (and what they say about us as humans) at 2am is a love language 🖖🏼

Do I have 36 manuscripts to edit with deadlines booked out til March? Yep. Do I feel crushing anxiety because there's unfinished work, so I'm going to push myself way too hard to finish these before December and ask the publisher for more so I feel worthy to exist? Also yep 🫠

So um...wtf is the purpose of blocking? Sounds like we're being penalized for setting boundaries and have to sacrifice having a wider reach to grow our community, but ok. Not that I expect Twitter to be a safe platform anymore, but this is wild.

1639 sales calls in 90 days? That's my ACTUAL nightmare. Do not call me, ever. Not even to work with me. Email exists for a reason. Also, there's perverse irony in making it seem chatgpt is saying "it's important to uphold ethical standards." 🙃

Will 100% go door to door talking about mycelium, don't tempt me.

Happy birthday to Avery Brooks, who played Captain Benjamin Sisko on DS9. Cool fact: Brooks directed nine episodes of the series, including "Far Beyond the Stars", an episode focusing on racial injustice.

Got a creative project you've been putting off but want to work on? Or a deadline that's a little too close for comfort? Yeah me too 😹 I've got a free silent coworking lounge that's open for you to hang out & work:

I'm wayyyy more active on threads these days, so I'd love to connect there if you play there too. Same username 😊

Oh and my character is also a chaotic neutral spy 😈

I really shouldn't be surprised when people assume my characters are typically Druids & Rangers when *this* is my dice goblin chest 😹 PS I played a Rogue spy for the 12-hour D&D session tonight, though, and I realized pretty quickly that I was basically cosplaying Garak lol

The SECOND Skillshare went down, I got a monthly Udemy subscription & saved all the Unity, C#, game art, and game design courses 😆 Let's just say if I don't know how to do something for this game, I'm sure I can find a lesson that covers it!

Just kidding. There's no way I'm finishing a whole game in 5 days. Even when I pared down the ~essential features~ from 59 to 16. Still going to keep at it, though, because why not try something feral at least once 😹

I need to ✨️calm down✨️ because this game progress is practically warp speed.

Finally dropped off my kids for the night and saw the theme for #BrackeysGameJam. Most excellent 😈 I know it's unrealistic for me to finish a game from scratch in a week (since I've never done it before), but it sounds too feral and chaotic to not try.
