Big career achievement time - I'm in the latest Edge! For WoW's 20th anniversary, I talked to key figures past and present like Rob Pardo, Holly Longdale, and Ion Hazzikostas.
Incredibly grateful for the opportunity. Lot of work and very satisfying too :)

Editors - Looking for a WoW Midnight beta (or beyond) person? I've been playing WoW since closed beta days in 2004 and I've written about it for SO many outlets (including Edge last year which was v cool).
Reach out if you need a WoW person! :)

For all the pathetic attempts to "legitimise" this week's Supreme Court decision, this is, at the end of the day, the outcome. It's the outcome of relentless hate and hostility aimed at trans and non-binary individuals. This is why showing support is so important.
