The best thing you can do for me and Uppercut is support monetarily and reading/sharing our work. That’s all I want

I do firmly believe that the future of games media lies in independent outlets - Into The Spine, Uppercut, RPG Site, and so on. How can anyone be expected to truly care about the work they put out if their job could disappear tomorrow because of gross corpo negligence

Hard same @uwaterloo. @UWaterlooPres won’t make the executive decision to improve student, staff, and faculty safety for risk of upsetting the right wing government, outsourcing the labour of somehow making it work to the faculty and staff. Total abnegation of responsibility!
Replying to @JDespland
how am i supposed to effectively teach a semester-long course when every week it's basically guaranteed that a bunch of students are going to be missing class because they are home sick?

Hey @UWaterloo @UWaterlooPres @equityuwaterloo, it’s time to reinstate mask mandates. It’s not safe for anyone with @ONgov telling students to go to class with COVID but it’s hostile to elderly + disabled. Academia has some insular and archaic habits but it’s not a suicide cult

What would the study of game genres look like today if the ludology vs. narratology debate never occurred? Very excited to team up with old and new collaborators for an edited anthology on "New Formations in Game Genre" Abstracts due Sept 30. Full CFP: shorturl.at/fjyZ9
