People who believe in souls will sometimes say that bodies are merely vessels for souls to inhabit. From that point of view, the human body can seem inconsequential. It doesn’t matter what you look like; who you are and what you do is far more contingent on thought and action than on skin color and… Continue reading Mind The Body

From the Vault: Why I'll Never Grow Up
I am exhausted. Today’s been one of those days where time seems to stretch out like taffy in front of me, and while the amount seems small from one angle, it’s incredibly long from where I am right now. Tomorrow will be different, and better. But for now, here’s an entry from a few years… Continue reading From the Vault: Why I'll Never Grow Up
500 Words on 100(ish) Days
Seattle, I miss you. And I’ll be there soon. Don’t get me wrong. I love Philadelphia. There will always be a piece of me out here on the east coast of the United States. But I have spent years, close to a decade now, kicking around the suburbs north of the city trying to find… Continue reading 500 Words on 100(ish) Days
The Inevitability
I’ll spare you wonderful, patient people the sordid details of what’s going on with me and how I’m feeling, at least when it comes to this blog. I may do one of my more in-depth, personal pieces over on Tumblr later today. We’ll see. The salient information, here, is that there is no cure for… Continue reading The Inevitability
The Momentum of Spring
Unless something truly freaky happens in the very near future, spring has finally arrived on the eastern seaboard of the United States. The slight sunburn on my right side is evidence that the sun is shining out as strong as ever. So now that we’re all shaking off the effects of hibernation and getting to… Continue reading The Momentum of Spring
Not Quite A Disconnect
Since returning from Boston, things at home have been dicey, at least as far as my connection to the Internet is concerned. This has made quite a few things problematic. I’m still trying to get all of that resolved, while getting rest and trying to minimize the amount of stress I’m inflicting on myself. I’m… Continue reading Not Quite A Disconnect
PAX East 2014 After-Action Report
It’s been two years since I started attending Penny Arcade Expos. A year ago, I began working as an Enforcer for said events. It’s not a ton of experience, but it’s built on top of all I’ve done before. In light of that, I have to say this PAX East was the smoothest one yet,… Continue reading PAX East 2014 After-Action Report
Wacky Weather & Whatnot
Traveled home from Boston today, almost lost my glasses, got a nasty whack to the head, and apparently it’s snowing in places. You know, I leave my apartment for six days and this sort of thing happens… Anyway, back to normal tomorrow.
From the Vault: The Video Game Singularity
I’m on my way to Boston for PAX East this morning. While I make my way through several states on what are certain to be lovely roads, have a look at my thoughts on the lines between video game developers and video game players, and what might happen if they get blurred. I feel we… Continue reading From the Vault: The Video Game Singularity
Consent, Cosplay, and Cuddles
I don’t think I’m very influential. This site tends to get just under 100 views a day. Some days it’s lucky to hit 50. So in some ways, this may simply be preaching to the choir. I’m aware of this. But I also know that some of the people who read this are folks I… Continue reading Consent, Cosplay, and Cuddles
