"The world is violent and mercurial—it will have its way with you. We are saved only by love—love for each other and the love that we pour into the art we feel compelled to share....We live in a perpetually burning building, and what we must save from it, all the time, is love." —Tennessee Williams

Third time’s the charm for me. I knew it was likely to hit me but it still hurts deeply. I’ve been laid off.

Good news y'all I'm talking about the Dark Urge in Baldur's Gate 3. Trying to keep this chunk under like 500 words is proving very difficult 😅

Today is a bittersweet day. Thank you to everyone who has made Destiny 2 into the beautiful world it is. Per audacia ad astra, fellow guardians. I hope we'll find each other again somewhere in the stars.

Fantastic article! My favorite excuse I’ve gotten when giving feedback about body diversity has been that larger characters would be less desirable because their hitboxes would be bigger 🙄

I keep thinking about the Met Gala yesterday and how I normally love looking at all the outfits and interpreting their meanings. Despite this year’s theme being one I adore I feel hollow. It’s just a fantasy world I can no longer stomach. Art is for everyone. Not just the rich.

You could be the nicest guy or the best girl dad or whatever but if you’re laughing along with the guy who isn’t, then you’re still creating an unsafe space for women and POC.

If I had a nickel for every time I worked on a devised theatre project about going to space, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

His Dark Materials was my favorite book series as a kid, and the show is fantastic. Highly recommend both instead of those other books
