On July 4, 2023- I sent an anxious text to @drkowert.bsky.social asking if she’d let me edit a book about my all time favorite video game series.
Today, I’m so happy to share that The Psychgeist of Pop Culture: The Elder Scrolls has been released! 🎉

I’ve thought about little else other than this over the last few days. I feel a video essay coming on. I can’t express how mad I am about how the changes they made damaged really important parts of Regis.
I finally made it to the part of season 4 of The Witcher where Regis tells his backstory and let me just ask- what ABSOLUTE GARBAGE WAS THAT??? Deeply disappointed.

My chapter You Again? discusses Skyrim & neurodiversity, exploring how academic studies and my own autistic experiences highlight the impact of Tamriel and taking the role of the Dragonborn — over and over again.

Start practicing your scripts now:
💠 "All food is just food."
💠 "I'm not labeling my eating today."
💠 "That's a weird thing to say out loud."
PRO-TIP: Have your phone ready to suddenly need to "take this call" and leave the table.

So far, I’ve put my phone down and walked away from it twice. I would like to think that means this con is going GREAT because I’m not attached to it in anxiety.

Attended a panel about romance and sex in Dragon Age at GGC by @gaygrayshark.bsky.social.
1. Amazingly done. Well researched and so funny. 2. I couldn’t have felt more SEEN by their 170k words of fanfic about Emmrich. I too have a lot of feelings about one of my new favorite video games characters.

Pennsylvania maintained their liberal Supreme Court judges and the good news coming in from the surrounding states is a sigh of relief. A small one but a refreshing one nonetheless.

My very first academically-published article all about the application of psychodramatic principles in RPGs using the “Mind of Madness” quest in Skyrim! This topic means a lot to me in many fronts, so thank you so much @wanderingshrink.bsky.social & @drkowert.bsky.social!!!

For anyone looking for ways to reduce meal costs, I cannot recommend the Budget Bytes app and website highly enough. Most of the meals work out to under $2/serving, there are vegan options, things that freeze well, etc.
The Moroccan Lentil Stew is my favorite.
