We recorded a new @konsolifin.net podcast episode with a dear friend, games industry legend and guest of honor @davidbfox.com, and always wonderful @nikender.bsky.social! 🫶

Didn’t have a functioning webcam so here’s my ✨hey hi hello✨ photo greeting to make that up!

Tarja wearing Garfield beanie and smiling at the camera. She wears glasses too, and there’s a text “hello” as a sticker in the image. On the walk behind here are a guitar, sword, Skyrim, DnD and Back to the Future posters.

David B Fox and Tarja in a Discord call. Tarja’s camera isn’t on. Niko is there too put the image clips so that we can’t see him.

I always thought we got paid in feeling a sense of empowerment, a way out of hopelessness, and the community spirit of being with likeminded people. All priceless.

Did people actually believe Trump during his campaign, or did they just love the permission he gave them to be racist?

Trump on loop: “They’re stealing your jobs.”

If that were true, why aren’t Americans lining up to take those so-called “stolen” jobs?

Every Trump voter needs to see this.

The Little Things that Kill: A Teen Friendship Afterlife Apology Tour

Author statement: “A teenage drama queen who finds herself in an afterlife realm must piece together the mystery of what happened to her—from beyond the grave. With three first-person narrators (all unreliable), I gave myself a massive challenge with this novel. One that took years to complete. Would I construct the plot that way again? Definitely. Each character has her own closely guarded secrets and needs her own voice.”

We just voted YES on Prop 50 because We, the People, are sick of this sh*t. Prop 50 makes sure the 2026 mid-term elections are conducted on a level playing field without an unfair advantage for Republicans. Yes. That. #YesOnProp50
