Hello! Since we’re doing intros again - and because I never really did this over here - a thread of things I’ve worked on in reverse chronological order. Non-exhaustive, but we’ll hit the highlights🎮
First up: Senior Writer on Project Orion at CD Projekt Red

My son + I are headed to our favorite bookshop
I promised we could go see the trains after
But first, he can pick out something silly
A book with Grover in it
He’s singing in the backseat
The ABC’s, off-key
But I can’t stop thinking
Renee Good will never hear her son sing the ABCs again

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

every parent who’s taken the time to remind me I’m in the fucking *trenches* right now is a cherubic being who deserves a forehead kiss from an archangel every morning before breakfast

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

Read a thing on here semi-recently that was like "The difference between actual artists and sloppers is that the real artists will talk your ear off about their blorbos at the slightest excuse because they are always thinking about this stuff, and slop is thoughtless" And wow do I feel that.

I had a Reddit post removed from an “Ask” subreddit because the mods said it could have been answered “by a search engine.”
Have any of them used a search engine lately? Search engines don’t answer shit anymore! They’re all completely enshittified. Why do you think I was on Reddit?

it is your DUTY as a parent to be basic and cringe. if your child says "6-7" and you do not say, loud enough for their friends to hear, "8-9?", causing profound silence and intense discomfort, you are neglecting your responsibilities. being cool is for kids. your days of being laughed WITH are over

If you tell me that this is a distraction from the Epstein files I will block you into last week.
For fuck's sake, people in other countries are actual human beings who do not deserve to be murdered. They are deserving of our attention and care. Their violent deaths should not be on our hands.
