Recent Medium Posts on Gone Home and The Matrix, and Being on the Bitch 50
Hi folks. A few quick updates for ya.
Recently I’ve published a few longer reads on Medium.
In October, I published The Pain of Waking: The Matrix at 20, The Stories We Tell Ourselves, and My Journey of the Self. It isn’t focused on video games, but it does make reference to Link’s Awakening, and hey, isn’t The Matrix sort of about being involuntarily trapped in a very detailed, elaborate video game?
And late last month I published House of Mirrors: How Gone Home Showed Me Myself, which Medium emailed me about to tell me that their curators “selected it to be recommended to readers interested in Gaming and LGBTQIA across our homepage, app, topic pages, and emails.” Yay!
Finally, I was chosen to be on this year’s Bitch 50, a list recognizing “the most impactful creators, artists, and activists in pop culture whose imaginations extend beyond normalizing and affirming the same mainstream messages.” Really a tremendous honor. I never thought I’d be on a list alongside the likes of Renee Bracey Sherman, Ady Barkan, Ilhan Omar, and Lizzo, but here we are. Read my interview with Marina Watanabe here.
Oh and uh, just one more thing folks. I’m currently looking for work. If you happen to know of any opportunities you think I might be a good fit for, my Twitter DMs are open.
Thanks very much, and thank you for reading!

fireflys-locket said: Your article on Gone Home was beautiful. We don’t share all the same struggles, but I relate to it deeply. “My age is a fact, but it’s also true that because of all the things I haven’t been through, my heart is still a teenage heart…” That statement is very much me, as well. I hope you find your star and they truly see you. ❤⭐
