Loved working on this chapter! It’s on trans realism in games, drawing a lot of inspiration from @caelkeegan.bsky.social’s and micha cárdenas’ works. Excited to see it out, and thanks to fantastic editors Katherine and Margarita!

Honestly I’m surprised/not that NYT published this drivel, chock full of transphobic stereotypes, conservative fear mongering, TERF rhetoric, cherry picking, and every other logical fallacy you can imagine. Andrew Sullivan is an embarrassment to our community and our elders.

Does anyone know why the Center for Solutions to Online Violence has gone dark recently? It was such a valuable resource that I used in some of my seminars each semester, but as of a week or two ago it's not accessible. Not sure if it's just another dark sign of the times or something else...

I'm not happy that Musk gave two Nazi salutes at Trump's inauguration, but there's grim satisfaction in the undeniable evidence that this is a fascist movement and a fascist government, something that was already a bald fact but took a bunch of extra words to prove.

Looks like I will be going to SCMS 2025 in Chicago! Looking forward to reconnecting with folks there. My SCMS acceptance/rejection advice every year tho is: it’s a notoriously fickle conference that is a crapshoot to get into, and a rejection is not a reflection on the value of your work!

Just got to the moment in Dragon Age Veilguard where my character, who is trans, had a conversation with 2 other trans people and the second I realized what was happening I started bawling. I never thought I’d see this in a AAA game. Whatever the transphobes say, thank you, dragon age team.

One of fascism's main tactics is to physically and mentally exhaust you. To flood the zone with outrageous bullshit, to make you bite on a dozen pump-fakes — so that when the real shot comes, you're too worn out to react. We need to pace ourselves. It's only been a week. Alert fatigue is dangerous

Foolishly, ambitiously, we started a massive, ambitious book project at the start of the pandemic. It's ... almost out! It's got something like 30 separate chapters and interviews from some of the most interesting scholars working in game studies.

Book cover: a pixelated message in a bottle. Text says "Historiographies of Game Studies: What it Has Been, What it Could Be," edited by Alisha Karabinus, Carly A. Kocurek, Cody Mejeur, and Emma Vossen."
