Hey! I'm Julie! Writer, consultant, designer. If you need a writer for a project, or a consultant to take a look at a game, I am open for contract work! Let me know. I've worked on titles like Silent Hill 2 Remake, Signalis, and 1000xResist, and I made one of Paste's favorite games of 2024.

It's really interesting how so many people are immediately willing to be vulnerable with me when I mention my job is at a homelessness nonprofit.
I think people are so hungry for empathy and compassion that when they realize they're talking to someone who values that, they can't not reach for it

This morning there was an ICE presence on McKinley street but then over 20 neighbors responded right away with their whistles and cameras and ICE left. This follows over a dozen ICE agents breaking into an apartment on Franklin Ave at 6 am this morning without presenting a warrant.

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights.
Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

ICE just crashed a car at my intersection (due to their own shitty driving) and immediately got out and tear gassed observers.

Today is the day. Right now hundreds of Minnesota businesses and institutions are shut down. Thousands of people are refusing to work. There’s a massive picket at the airport. Minnesota’s resistance to ICE today is changing the tenor our fight against fascism.

A fresh one from me! I wrote about fandom, what characters "deserve," lesbians and our desire to Return To The Past.

A Game Doesn't Need To Be ‘By And For Fans’
Life Is Strange: Reunion could be a story that grapples with old choices and mistakes, or it could be one that tells fans and characters they "deserve" stories that make everything OK

It's really weird going on a social media platform like bluesky where the majority of people I follow are not local to Minnesota, and seeing that life is going on as normal for people outside of MN/the Twin Cities.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

I have secured a spot in my first drag show, and it's a 1.5 hour drive, and my bestie immediately started organizing friends to get a hotel room to give me a closer place to get ready and friends a place to crash after the show and I feel so loved 🥹
