Without taking any new ones, post photos of you as: 1) a romanceable NPC 2) a quest-giver NPC 3) the final boss of a game
I am posing with an ice cream cone in a park. It is a bright summer day, the grass I'm standing on is a vivid green, the tree behind me is in full bloom, with pink flowers. I am wearing a pink top, blue jeans, a blue hijab, and there is a grey jacket on my shoulders.
I am standing in the shadows of a tree. It is autumn, the leaves on the trees are a mix of green an yellow. I am wearing a long dark coat, the rest of my outfit matches.
I am wearing a traditional Somali wedding outfit called Dirac. My hijab is a warm, sunset yellow. The dress is covered in a floral pattern. I am looking backwards into my reflection in a long mirror.

Throwback: Last month I met up with my friends to go watch pros play apex legends for money. New, super fun experience: unlocked 👾🥺
I'm wearing a mustard yellow jumper, a hijab in the same colour and black jeans. Behind me are rows of seats leading to a floor. There is a large screen showing apex legends game play above the floor.

Me, after returning home from a trip to a country only 1 hour ahead of London: I'm so jet-lagged.

Princess Weekes Discourse Free
@WeekesPrincess
it is just really jarring (especially during BHM) to see people just treat the boycott as something that if done collectively as something that can’t make change. It’s not the boycott that’s the issue it’s the lack of community around saying we will all not consume this thing

When 21 Black Panthers were charged w/ trying to bomb police stations, they bailed out 1 of the accused bc she was pregnant. She represented the crew & got an informant to admit that the charges were all lies. They were acquitted & 32 days later, she gave birth… To Tupac Shakur

To the people who heard me say I will be taking a break from playing apex next season: I never said that.

🌟 We (
@halomedes
& I) thought it could be useful to early career games writing folks if we shared a bit about the mentoring process behind her new game writing portfolio. 🔖Her portfolio is here: halomedes.notion.site/halomedes/Game 👀 & check out the behind the scenes info in thread ⬇️

I'm looking for plays by Black writers who identify as female or non-binary. I'm keen to read work that is new writing, bold, joyful, explosive and unapologetic. Either 1 or 2 hander plays. Looking for work that is ready to stage and has a creative team attached.

YouTube music algorithm is definitely my most chaotic. From fall out boy, to my fave Ethiopian artist, to the donut county soundtrack and then to a recitation of a chapter from the Holy Quran.
