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. ❤️

Image of the three heroes from The Elder Scrolls Online. Left is a very grumpy looking male breton in a dark hood and armor. In the middle is a gray-bearded nord in heavy looking metal armor with a horned helmet. On the right is a red-haired female altmer (elf) with shoulder armor and a glowing staff pointed toward the screen.

Photo of a hardcover book called How to Fix a Flubbed Summon by L.N. Clarke. The book cover has an apothecary in a puffy purple dress in front of cauldron and holding a tea pot. She stands in a garden at night time. Around the book are various objects such as witchy shoes, crystals, candles, flowers, and antique lockpicks.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Dispatch from Pennsylvania on a highly unusual state Supreme Court election—one of the few most consequential matters on the ballot anywhere in the country next month. New from me in @boltsmag.org: boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...

Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania's Supreme Court - Bolts

The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.

Every time I look at the trending topics, it's like:

And I play a game of "Is this a washed up 80's scam artist leading the Department of Soul Splintering who has managed to do something so disturbing it disgraces the already ghastly title? Or is there a sports game on?"

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.

Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

Signal @signal.org · 5d

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

Governor Whitmer was almost kidnapped by armed thugs. Governor Shapiro‘s house was set on fire. Nancy Pelosi‘s husband was violently attacked by someone looking for her. Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home with her husband and dog…and now this. The left is the victim, not the perpetrator.

SOUTH CAROLINA… “Judge Goodstein was walking on the beach when the fire started. Her husband, Arnie, was in the house with children and perhaps grandchildren. The family had to escape by jumping from a window or balcony...” www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

There's a lot of AI on YouTube kids, now.

(Anecdotally) the kids reject it as fake.

It reminds me of the early internet and how kids could easily spot and discard spam and scams where adults struggled.

AI deepfakes are the new "my grandparents clicked the link again."
