Studying Queer People and Games
Finally bested my overleaf demons. I just needed to find one hyper-specific reddit post from 7 years ago.

Anyway it was an honor to talk in a panel with @kathrynfedchun.bsky.social and @princerosalium.bsky.social on Spite, Survival, and Joy. QGCon is a testament to the tenacity of queer people and I am definitely invigorated by my time there.

EA saw that I was presenting on joy at QGCon this weekend and said let's sell out to facist bigots 😜. It would be my pleasure not to give EA anymore money especially if it's going to Jared Kushner.

Excited to read Profe Carlos Kelly's book "Ready Player Juan"!!!

I'm sure this will inspire more thought on how being Dominican has impacted my critical eye for race in games. I've been thinking about starting up a Medium or Substack for non-paper/more anecdotal writings so watch out for that.

Very happy to have presented my work “I felt like I was them. I just didn’t know it.”: Exploring Queer Identity through TTRPG Play at #DIGRA2025.
