A short history of Flash & the forgotten Flash Website movement (when websites were “the new emerging artform”)

The Flash game movement, my early Flash work, and how Flash games informed what we have in indie games today…

More from the wonderful world of tools by small devs, shareware, and freeware (art tools, music tools, and toys to create with)

on UI design & using UI as a means to tell a story, convey emotion, create personality… an in-depth look…

A “10 years of experimental work” retrospective: does being a gamer automatically mean toxic fandom, and can anything be done to break away from that?

“Abusing you was by the book” (documenting two years of abuse from Game Journalism, after sharing my #metoo… the whole painful story all in one place)

What it’s like sharing your #metoo with Kotaku (a cautionary tale)

An open letter to game journalists: #metoo, fighting with surviving abusive reporting, and the fallout of not caring

Cecilia D’Anastasio’s journalism is rape culture in a nutshell, and you all really need to start giving a shit about what this has done to survivors…

why are the lives of those that spoke up so worthless to you, but you so readily protect the abusers? (commenting on everything)

Killing us slowly – When your allyship stops short of doing the hard thing, when your solidarity turns against the people you once said you believe

“Relax, babe. It’s just business.” – Game Journalism

Surviving video game journalism (another post on journalism’s aversion to accountability, and addressing concerns about “the precedence” that humanizing sexual assault survivors sets)
