Friends, I finally am in the market for freelance work! It's a big year for things like Magic and D&D, so if you've got a hankering for some expert content get in my DMs. I'm also eager to discuss contract marketing and communications opportunities.

this lowkey makes me look like a fool but i should point out that i did use my steam account solely as a TF2 device until i finally got a laptop capable of gaming in 2013.......and as a 13 y/o some full-ass adult man gifted me tf2 for pocketing him during a free weekend. it was weird.

I wanted to share some of the stories I deeply enjoyed editing at Polygon, particularly narrative features and culture crit around games, the internet, power structures, and community; I'm grateful Polygon gave me the space to do it. I loved working with writers so much
