HELLO!
I'm Mary. I used to go by SailorTweek, but then I turned 40.

I love movies (I'm no cinephile but I like films!), needle felting, photography, Disneyland, video games, and tea. I try to be funny and kind (or at the very least punch up).

I wish you all nothing but the very best of everything

Do you folks have an affiliate or something like that in SnoCo that do cool and wonderful stuff like this? I would love to get involved, but I'm tethered to a bus system <3

Riff Raffers have finished their first group project zine! Swing by and grab a copy, or download the PDF to print your own!

Some of the zines folks made at our F the Fourth event are also now available for download! www.pushpullseattle.com/riffraff.html

Pile of folded zines printed on white and bright pink paper. The cover of the zine reads "Beginner's Guide to Attending Protests & Rallies" and shows a person holding up a sign that says "We Want Change!"

My book is out in America next week. Obviously this is very exciting and while initial sales reports are very encouraging, i would love to do some promo as the PR hasn’t sorted out anything. If you know of anything or ARE someone interested in doing something then lemme know.

Please read our statement regarding the proposed Electronic Arts buyout. We refuse to let corporate greed decide the future of our industry.

United Videogame Workers-CWA Statement on Proposed Electronic Arts Buyout
October 15, 2025
NATIONWIDE — The following statement is from United Videogame Workers-CWA Local 9433.

The recently proposed acquisition of Electronic Arts (EA) by the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia and private equity firms, including Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners, will further concentrate power and wealth into the hands of a few gatekeepers while doing nothing to address the concerns of players and workers.

EA is not a struggling company. With annual revenues reaching $7.5 billion and $1 billion in profit each year, EA is one of the largest video game developers and publishers in the world. EA’s success has been entirely driven by tens of thousands of EA workers whose creativity, skill, and innovation made EA worth buying in the first place. Yet we, the very people who will be jeopardized as a result of this deal, were not represented at all when this buyout was negotiated or discussed.

We are particularly worried about the future of our studios that are arbitrarily deemed ‘less profitable’ but whose contributions to the video game industry define EA’s reputation. Since 2022, an estimated 40,000 video game workers have already lost their jobs due to mass layoffs at AAA and indie studios alike. As reported in Game Developer, this deal will result in EA having to finance nearly $20 billion in debt—who will be spared, which corners will executives cut, and what studios will be sacrificed in order for that to happen?

If jobs are lost or studios are closed due to this deal, that would be a choice, not a necessity, made to pad investors’ pockets—not to strengthen the company.

Every time private equity or billionaire investors take a studio private, workers lose visibility, transparency, and power. Decisions that shape our jobs, our art, and our futures are made behind closed doors by executives who have never written a line of code, built worlds, or supported live services. We are…

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

Just an FYI
the best snack pairing with @fridaytea.com's Moonglow is Golden Grahams. Not to pour over, but just snack on like chips. It's delightful.

If you're a wealthy white dude in a blue state emotion-vomiting all over your large platform warning people of "blood in the streets" and making a string of crash out vids about No Kings, I don't care if we're friends, we are gonna have words. Stop doing the fascists' work for them. Buck up.
