Re-intro as more people arrive!

Hello! I'm Ellen!

My day job is Production Director for The Elder Scrolls Online (opinions here are my own).

I also write and read SFF, make all sorts of art, and solve puzzles.

Posts are usually creative or supportive. Mostly harmless. May include chickens. ❤️
THIS is why you never use embarrassing placeholder text, no matter how confident you are that it will stand out enough for you to spot it later. 😅

It's been four weeks since GOD'S JUNK DRAWER appeared in the world, and my thanks to all of you who've had kind things to say about it. May I also use this moment to nudge you into perhaps saying said things on your favorite online review depository? It really helps immensely and is appreciated.

This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this.

What we have here will be *gone* if these bills pass.
Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children.

Committee hearings begin tomorrow.
Lawmakers to consider 19 bills for childproofing the internet
KOSA is back, along with more than a dozen other bills that will erode free speech and privacy in the name of protecting kids.

The GOP is trying to sneak legislation into a bigger bill that would preempt state laws around the regulation of AI, and create a national environment with very little regulation of the technology.

Stop by, listen to me and Django prattle on, get books scribbled in, get a little dinosaur. It'll be fun.

I've just started reading an arc of this and stopped mid-sentence to say: GOD we love some confident prose. GOD. Preorder this now, ship people. "Voicey" might have lost all meaning in recent years but this is it.
COVER REVEAL 🔥✨🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈 I’m so excited to finally show folks this BEAUTIFUL cover!!

Stunning art by Jan (@thistlearts.bsky.social), who not only obliged me in portraying all three (!!!) of my queer, poly, radical pirates—he also absolutely nailed their dynamic!

Coming March 17, 2026!

I’m doing the Print Run Novembo thing and aiming to complete my edits + at least a draft cover this month. But whoof the “Push hard and get a lot done” monthly challenges hit differently when you’re pushing hard to get a lot done all year. 🫠

i would again like to remind everyone that NEGATING A FRAME REINFORCES IT

"he's not really targeting criminals" makes it an argument about criminality

"this is a fascist attack" states what is actually happening

START WITH WHAT IT IS
not what it isn't
