So not ready for tomorrow to be my last day at Paizo. 😔 Still on the search for full-time editing work—open to TTRPGs, games-adjacent roles, fiction, and more. Available for freelance in the meantime. I hate having to do it, but I'll launch a crowdfunder this week to help w/COBRA, rent, etc.

I'll say more when I can focus a bit, but for now ... While I'd love to stay in games, I'm also open to editor positions elsewhere in the publishing world. Fiction would be lovely. Before joining the games industry, I spent a decade and a half in higher ed roles that inform my work today.

I guess I can say it now: I'm one of the folks hit by the Paizo layoffs. My last day will be in early July. I'm devastated. I love the folks I've worked with the past three years. I love the fans. I love the games we made. If you have an opening for a remote editor, I'd love to hear from you.

Career Progression and Pay

Alright, I'm going to talk about one of my biggest reasons for unionizing on the Arena team. Forced relocation, aka "RTO" (Return to Office), "WFH protections" (Work From Home protections), or more recently "Ways of Working." Buckle in for a thread.

The fact that this is sticking is *extremely* good, and I'm frankly surprised every time I remember it that it hasn't had an impact on the AI bubble already. You *don't own* anything you generate (and shouldn't, even in the imaginary land of an ethical generator).

I think it is human to want spaces where you, personally, can find some respite from the horrors of the world. I also think that expressing a desire for shared hobby/interest spaces to be "apolitical" or a "refuge from doomscrolling" betrays the fact that you really don't get it. Like, at all.

United States Completes WHO Withdrawal
WASHINGTON — January 22, 2026 — The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of State today announced the United States’ completion of its withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) due to the organization's mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic that arose out of Wuhan, China, its failure to adopt urgently needed reforms, and its inability to demonstrate independence from the inappropriate political influence of WHO member states.
