A newsletter that isn't about games but sometimes its about games.
send-news.beehiiv.com
Trying to take this energy, frustration, and fear and channel it into something productive. This newsletter is a (mostly) weekly respite from a lot of the bad, a place to talk openly about struggle but also celebrate wins and the goofier side of my brain. Almost at 150 subscribers. Help me get there
Finished Nobody Wants this season 2 and it just feels so weak compared to S1. Feels like so much conflict for the sake of trying to get a second season out of the show. All the excellent communication skills I loved from S1 just gone so they could stretch paper thin problems

I’m proud of every video we put out, but I’m extra jazzed about this one! Threw in some sentimental jazz at the top and bottom because earnestness is neat!

I finally got around to writing about Goodnight Universe. I talk about growing up, minimizing myself in familial spaces, and how sometimes you feel like by being quiet, you can help plug the cracks in the foundation

I texted a friend asking what's a good microphone for streaming so I could stream my friends and i playing Destiny. he asked if I wanted to write for his college video game website, then a global pandemic shut down Broadway leaving me only with writing, which I somehow leveraged into a full time job
