Juno turned 13 this past week and despite all that time she still sees me off every day with the saddest look imaginable 😅 (bonus Pixel content here; he comes out for scritches whenever I sit down to put my boots on).

First off, this assignment was inspired by Toronto-based artist Golboo Amani & her project Unsettling Settlers of Catan, an expansion pack that confronts the colonial themes in Catan's gameplay & offers an alternative, decolonial model of play: dailyworkerplacement.com/2017/05/19/u...

Totally valid point to raise. The way I've approached this is to try & capture the population level outcomes reported by StatsCan where a group of 100 ppl infected once, we'd expect ~15 to have Long COVID; twice, ~25; three times, ~38. You're rolling to see where you fall in that distribution.

My open access article "Hello, Worlds: A Ludic Theory of Cognition" is out today in Games & Culture 🎉

Drawing on a wide array of sources, I make the case that cognition is inherently ludic & enactive, meaning both game & world are brought forth through play.

Are you in Toronto this weekend? Drop by Little Ghosts Books tomorrow at 1pm for the launch of Emily Flynn-Jones’ debut short story collection Is It Enough Yet? 🥳

In grad school I did a modern take on the Purloined Letter w a web game called The Bureau 😊

Eurogamer's Ed Thorn last week: "I can't say I enjoy Diablo 4 and I can't say I dislike it. I just know I can play it and slip into the pocket of nothing, like it's a numbing agent for my brain."

Just bought these prints as digital files over on Etsy 😍 Can't wait to get 'em printed and framed!
