Ann LeBlanc @robotleblanc.bsky.social · 06/10/2026one of my favorite explorations of this is A/S/L by Jeanne Thornton, which does an amazing job of showing the ways that games allow people to feel embodied in alternate personhood (also the character work in that book is just exquisite and i highly recommend it) 080 0
Ann LeBlanc @robotleblanc.bsky.social · 06/10/2026This story is a roar of defiance against the weaponization of the 40% statistic (iykyk) Extremely upsetting in a good way.
