Man, I wasn't just a dev I was a fan!

Technically, a dictionary is a book of spells.

My poem "shift" appears in the latest Belladonna's Garden alongside many other beautiful pieces. You can read it here! www.belladonnasgardenlit.com/issues/fall-...

We're excited to share the line-up for our upcoming Jurassic Ghosts anthology, edited & curated by Halli Reid. It's truly a dino-mite bunch! *bows* William Adcock @paintingmoreorcs.bsky.social - "Ol' Stubby" Hannah Baxter - "River of Giants"

📣Calling all women and femme writers📣 I am looking to commission around 10 heartfelt essays surrounding video game criticism. If this sounds like something you are down to do them read on and I urge you to apply. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

My first BW staff badge, 2006. It was a huge privilege to be a small part of something that brought so many people together all around the world. The thriving relationships made through BioWare games are a comforting legacy today. Here’s to the good times. 🍻

Part of my literal job is to fly out to physical game studios to rescue and recover historical materials that might be endangered and put them in a permanent archive. @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is a 501(c)3 publicly funded to do that, my DMs are open, and I'm free for the next couple weeks...

BioWare closing is so depressing. Compounding it for me is how predictable it is at a time where creative institutions --studios where artists were nurtured, resourced and trusted to MAKE THINGS -- are being harvested for parts. Emblematic of a soul-sick world.

Former BioWare Senior Writers Mary Kirby (Varric, Vivienne, Lucanis) and Sylvia Feketekuty (Liara, Josephine, Emmrich) and Sarah Hayward (Former BioWare Cinematic Director) have found a home at North Mist with many others in our network.

Ok, Alberta - let’s not Brexit this up! 🇨🇦

Edmontonians! If you’re into Halloween but less into the bar scene, come to our Halloween choral show, rock a fun costume (or not), listen to a talented band, get some snacks and drinks, and help us raise money for the Edmonton Food Bank! Saturday Oct 24 - 7pm Caernarvon Hall

we live in a world where "humanity is rotten to the core" is a more tolerable idea than "capitalism is kinda busted" but what I love about "capitalism is kinda busted" is realizing every good thing that happens is in spite of capitalism because humans are that committed to doing good things

The fall sweet potato harvest has started in Merced County CA. "Josefina" wakes up at 3am to get to work. "Each machine has 6-7 people. We spend our days sorting different sizes and varieties of sweet potatoes into the proper bin." #WeFeedYou

NEW: Saddle Lake Cree Nation calls Alberta trans health-care laws a violation of Treaty rights, announces path to work around the legislation

Please sign Mama Stanley’s petition to protest giving a lot of money and publicity to a sexual predator c.org/JnhGpH7xhN

BREAKING! "Saddle Lake Cree Nation is asserting its Treaty rights and jurisdiction to provide safe refuge for those seeking and providing gender-affirming care. Any Albertan will be able to access gender-affirming care on Saddle Lake Cree Nation reserved lands and territories"

Thousands of Albertans have emailed our political leaders! But there are 5 million of us who stand to lose. Please, be loud: share your concerns online, with your representatives, with friends—we can't let our public health care access quietly slip away. Act now! www.friendsofmedicare.org/actions

This US resident has insurance and this is the bill he got for a single visit to the ER Canadians, we have so much to lose and nothing to gain from a two-tier system with private insurance like the Alberta gov is pushing

This was so much fun!

In an absolutely incredible “what a small world” moment, I did the publication design for this book and was SO delighted to see Trick’s name in the credits! Don’t miss this one, it’s fire 🔥🔥🔥

Excited beyond words to have a story in DC’s Hawk-Girl Summer! Let’s hit the beach! Writer: Me Art: @nikolacizmesija.bsky.social Colors: @francescosegala.bsky.social Letters: @droog811.bsky.social Thanks to editor Katie Kubert for making it happen.

This story was broken by The Cornell Sun, which @nytimes.com nowhere cites. As a former editor-in-chief of The Sun — and in the name of brave, amazing college newspapers everywhere — do not treat student journalists as truffle pigs, taking what they've sniffed out without credit or compensation.

#MayTheFourth be with you! Gonna re-share Hunted from Squadrons, because it's still one of my favourite #StarWars things and helping out on it was an amazing experience. Incredible work by writer / director Neel Upadhye, and by ILM who made it something special 💙 www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2Vm...

Bit of art appreciation for the day: this charming French painting of a young couple gathering cherries. None of your modern vulgarity. So demure.

For a year, I’ve been building this project, the Native Horror Index, with my bear hands basically. It’s my gift to the horror-loving Indigenous community. Over 55 profiles are live, but starting today, you can submit your own profile. Tag your kin, let em know. NativeHorrorIndex.com

"Picture this: [Today] March 23, 2026, could be the most transformative Monday Albertans with disabilities have ever witnessed. The UCP must recognize this and take immediate action." edmontonsun.com/opinion/tait...

Albertans, please sign this letter to your MLA to support accessibility and catch us up to the rest of Canada. share.nwmd.social/s/QOfW4mJJ

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Live soon! Tune in :) We’ll be taking audience questions for the final 10 minutes ✨

ha ha WOW

Before March 20! Important for our Alberta loved ones who depend on AISH, who’ll have $200/ month diverted from them to the UCP government in July if ADAP isn’t stopped. Sign the paper petition at magpiebooks.bsky.com in Edmonton and Junktiques Vintage & PRIDE Shop in Red Deer.

Pam Bondi is planning on getting this rule passed before anyone pays attention. Basically gives immunity to all her minions by blocking any other investigation into her illegal actions. Please comment before April 6, unless you are okay with this. www.regulations.gov/document/DOJ...

This is my attempt at self promotion. I did some filming for this week’s vlog going up on my YouTube channel. These are some of the cast members for my first children’s book! It’s based on one of my favourite Palestinian folktales. Join me over there for more! youtube.com/@soniasulaim...
