Do you ever get the overwhelming sense that we’re at the end… of everything?

[Queers at the End of the World @queerworldspod]

@lackingceremony We love to see it!

[Queers at the End of the World @queerworldspod]

Ok y'all! We're at work on season three, and booking interviews for the pod! We're going to be doing more interviews than in seasons past, so let us know if there are queer creators/scientists/organizers you'd love to hear us talk to on the show!

[Queers at the End of the World @queerworldspod]

While you're waiting for season three, check out this fantastic piece from Nat on playing Satisfactory with their dad during lockdown, read aloud at Edge Effects--it's got family-making, meditations on extraction and world-building in games...everything we love around here!

[Nat Mesnard @natmesnard]

Hey, if you like to multitask, this is the perfect opportunity to listen to this essay I wrote about playing Satisfactory online with my dad during lockdown! "Joys and perils" is a perfect way of describing my take on what we enacted as players:

Ooooh remember this season when we got to interview @metasynthie and talk about 2-player games in the apocalypse? Check out this rad-looking bundle of 2-player ttrpgs, including some with apocalyptic themes, from queer and poc designers.

Game makers, take Nat’s class!

[Nat Mesnard @natmesnard]

Hey, friends! I'm teaching this big #interactivefiction incubator course on @CatapultStory starting in March (applications are still open!) and I wanted to do a little thread to let you know what the class is going to be all about. https://t.co/y1OSDej1bb

[Nino McQuown @allsoils]

New essay up on @CatapultStory about #TheLastOfUs thanks to @ProfessorTMR @natmesnard and @queerworldspod for the conversations behind this piece and to @tajjaisen for the always-awesome editing!

[Sarah Roth @saraheroth]

For anyone who's interested, I'll also drop a link to this fabulous episode of @queerworldspod, which turned me onto the series (with some help from pal/host @allsoils):

A new essay on queerness and apocalyptic media (and abortion, and fearing the future, and the history of ultrasounds!) from QatEotW co-host @allsoils is up on @CatapultStory !

"In the colonized geography of medicine, my womb is the unknown country, the place off the map where the monsters come from." @allsoils on Sarah Connor, the Terminator films, and trans bodies after Roe v. Wade: https://t.co/Ohfdjqfid3

Check out our season one interview with Avery here! You can also listen to our play through of her game Dream Askew if you want a sense of precisely how much fun and big feelings her games help you create: https://t.co/sJ3Z3HADaL

[Queers at the End of the World @queerworldspod]

For all you Avery Alder fans out there, heads up that she’s got an awesome sale going on now. You too can build community amid collapse while giggling with your friends, embody monster teens, and map out the first year after the end, among myriad great stuff!

[Queers at the End of the World @queerworldspod]

@queendom_fungi Looks amazing Patty!

[Queers at the End of the World @queerworldspod]

Season 2 concludes with the joy of an @allsoils & @natmesnard discussion of #StevenUniverse! From the show’s queer ethics of education to family making & grief — we discuss the gloriously #queer cartoon that's gotten us through this very apocalypse: https://t.co/ICATJfS7ER
