Thoughts While Playing “Life is Strange”

I’ve always heard about the Life is Strange games, and I was lucky enough to find a copy for my switch! I had a blast playing it, and when I went back to replay it, I noticed a lot more things than I did the first go-around! Below are my thoughts I had while play the game, and the questions that would come up!

The Falling in Love Montage by Ciara Smyth – Book Review

I had been looking for a copy of The Falling in Love Montage by Ciara Smyth for quite a while, and when I finally saw a copy at my local bookstore, I was so excited! I had been on the market for more positive LGBTQ+ stories with happy endings, and this one seemed to check all those boxes. However, when I started to read it, I realized I raised my expectations a little too high. As usual for my reviews, there will be spoilers, so if you want to read this book, tread carefully, for spoilers ahead!

Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Review: A Nat 20 on Fun!

I have a confession to make…I am a nerd. I watched Star Trek religiously in middle school and high school when The Original Series was on Netflix, I have piles and piles of books I need to read, as well as many video games taking up storage space on my PS4. Do these things automatically make me a nerd? Maybe, or maybe it’s the attitude toward stereotypically nerd things.

I also play Dungeons and Dragons. Well, I try to. They say one of the biggest enemies in DnD is not the dungeons ordragons, but scheduling and conflicts. Needless to say, I’m still well aware of the game and was still super excited for Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

Project Nought Review: A love story, a mystery, and a sci-fi adventure all wrapped in one!

In high school, I was one of the officers of a club, and one of my jobs was finding inclusive media to share with our members. One of those pieces was Chelsey Furedi’s webcomic “Rock and Riot,” a queer love story set in the 50’s.

In honor of It’s Christmas, Carol!‘s second year at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, I wanted to take this time to republish one of my favorite interviews I wrote for Southern Oregon University’s student newspaper, The Siskiyou. Last year I saw a preview of It’s Christmas, Carol!, and I had the honor of interviewing the director, Pirronne Yousefzadeh about her directing process, what the show meant to her, and her favorite things about Ashland, Oregon.
