I& #39;m less than a hundred followers away from 1,000, which is a thing I never thought I would end up saying. I think I might want to hit that milestone? So in this thread I& #39;ll talk a little bit about what I do, and if it all sounds cool to you, go ahead and Follow. (RTs okay)
Hi! I& #39;m Dee. I& #39;m a game writer, layout designer, and budding HTML/CSS intermediate. I make games on itchio. I don& #39;t publish on DriveThruRPG or DM& #39;s Guild.
I talk a lot about my own games, and I frequently write tutorial threads about layout design.

I& #39;m a parent of two small children. No, I will not share their names. No, I will not post photos of them. They& #39;re beautiful little chaos-beasts and you will never see them.
I talk about my kids occasionally, but I very rarely give out parenting advice.
I talk about my kids occasionally, but I very rarely give out parenting advice.
I hold firmly socialist views, and I agree with and try to support anti-racist action when I have the energy to do so. I don& #39;t have any tolerance for abusers or bigots, and have no problem calling them out. If I don& #39;t call someone out by name, it& #39;s often to avoid name-searchers.
I run a server on Discord that is dedicated to games work, but I don& #39;t aim to be a community leader. I have run online communities before, both as a moderator and as an administrator. I& #39;ve been a rules-maker before.
Sometimes I talk about that.

I& #39;m White. My ancestors are Irish and Italian. Some of them owned slaves. Most of them were racist. My brother is not White.
I have complicated feelings about Whiteness, what it is and what it isn& #39;t. I occasionally talk about that. I try not to, but sometimes do, mess up.

I& #39;m physically abled. I have dead angles I& #39;m trying to get rid of when it comes to ableism bias.
I& #39;m at least one shade of (undiagnosed) neurodivergent, and I experience depression on a semi-regular basis.

Oh yeah, and I& #39;m queer. My umbrella is "non-binary". I like "enby" as a noun for myself, and my pronouns are "they/them". I& #39;m gonna be talking about that more now.
(If you& #39;re struggling with or questioning your gender, it& #39;s okay to come talk to me about it. It& #39;s never too late.)

I have a survival job with a salary, which mostly goes to paying for student loans and my kids& #39; daycare, in addition to typical expenses for shelter, food, and transportation.
I don& #39;t manage the money in my household, so I don& #39;t always have a clear picture of what I can afford.+

+That means I don& #39;t often donate to causes. I& #39;ve lost jobs suddenly before, been unemployed for several months at a time and worried about losing everything.
But I do signal-boost when I can. I do game giveaways on behalf of GoFundMe& #39;s. If you need help, that& #39;s what I can offer.

So...follow me? I tweet a LOT throughout the work day, but less in the evenings (Eastern US time).
Come play my games on itch, buy something I made. Talk to me if you& #39;ve got something you need to talk about.
I guess that& #39;s it.

Oh! One more thing.
I know that not everybody feels this way, but unless I say explicitly on a tweet or a thread that retweets are okay, please ask before you retweet my stuff. Most of the time it& #39;s okay. Sometimes it& #39;s very much not. Just ask first, even if someone else has already gotten the OK.
PS - If you& #39;re curious about my games, you can read more about the work I do on itchio here: https://mnemonicrpg.itch.io/ ">https://mnemonicrpg.itch.io/">...
