I'm on Masto as @[email protected] but I'll be maintaining my twitter as a pied-à-terror.

If the idea of an epistolary sci-fi RPG that you can play with a friend via text, email or snail mail appeals to you, consider helping fund @ouijum's Letters to the Stars. I playtested the beta version during the holidays and loved it.

@RaxKingIsDead You'd dig my newsletter, which is just weird old articles like this:

It's my birthday, and this bloody hellscape is crumbling. It's REALLY frigging hard to sell books and even harder when social media doesn't function in even the most basic of ways. So today all I'm asking is that if you see this, you retweet it. I have a short story collection

@HowieRose I love sports on the radio because it lets the listener create the picture in their mind. Every catch becomes a highlight reel grab, every homer is a 500 footer. Nothing's like the game as it exists in your imagination!

@dubyawright Mention it in there and I will do my best!

Steam Summer Sale! That means you can get my old games The Charnel House Trilogy and Richard & Alice for 57p together! That's WILDLY cheap! And honestly I could really really use the support right now haha https://t.co/IKS0jWXB5Z

@xoxogossipgita I worked at the Observer for a few years not long after Kushner bought it and I got to watch him do the same thing. Take something people love, destroy everything that's special about it, wonder what went wrong.

@xoxogossipgita I am become the vomit emoji.

@kateefeldman Stro's extremely bad twitter vibes are the only reason I don't rue the Mets letting him go. Gives me the ick.

If you want your face (or that of a loved one...or a fictional character) on one of these badass custom baseball cards, it costs $20 and you've got exactly an hour to make it happen.

@dick_nixon Postdated firing letters have already been nailed to the wall in Showalter and Eppler's offices.

@AlainnFocail @infieldflygrl Every game should be pride night except for one really blustery game on like, April 20th, which can be reserved for cishet shame.

[W.M. Akers @ouijum]

@roxana_hadadi @vulture I feel like the Shield is largely a forgotten show at this point, which is odd because it's both:

A. Very good
B. Has one of the best finales I can think of

[W.M. Akers @ouijum]

@greg_prince Yeah I have vivid memories of the team's prior owner retreating into the shadows of the dugout and hissing like a frightened cat whenever the press appeared. This is better.

[W.M. Akers @ouijum]

@ThatShaneBua That's exactly the idea! My original concept for Deadball, way back in 2017, was as a game you could play by drawing random baseball cards so this feels like a fulfillment of that.

[W.M. Akers @ouijum]

The campaign for DEADBALL: MASTERS OF THE GAME wraps up tomorrow afternoon.

If you want me to turn your family photo or headshot or weird doodle into a kickass baseball card, it costs $20 and there's still 22 slots left:
