I'm a mom, a book fanatic, life-long martial artist, and a Dragon Age dev fan (all the way back to when some of them were making BG1). I've also spent far too much time as a social media researcher. (She/Her)

Some news! Resistance Summer School has an official home! I will teach Race, Media, and International Affairs 101 at the iconic Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library in Washington D.C., starting in mid-July. Thank you to everyone for their support! karenattiah.substack.com/p/studying-t...

Dear BioWare friends: TINY ASSAN

The current media ecosystem is really bad at handling liars. Elon Musk is not an authentic advocate against government spending. He literally just wasted more money than he cut and those cuts were illegal and immoral to the tune of killing hundreds of thousands of children

hmm idk if he's lookin lovesick enough

When women and minorities get violently harassed by bigots on the internet, institutions don’t take it seriously. It is normalized, minimized, dismissed. But when those same institutions are criticized in good faith online by their base, it is considered a crisis of decorum

My teen finished her #DragonAge #TheVeilguard playthrough! 🤘🎉 Some of her takeaways: -romanced Neve & loved it -Taash is fave non-romance companion -liked *all* of the companions -Vorgoth isn't given enough credit -the Caretaker is fave npc -loved the story -loved the happy-ish ending -misses Cole

Virineya Thorne and Lucanis, a commissioned painting for my friend! I already love these couple so much. How cozy they are here, can't stop admiring their love ^_^ #Rookanis #LucanisDellamorte #DragonAge #DragonAgeTheVeilguard

I'm so tired and overwhelmed and fed up. 😫 This is what being an adult feels like:

A chud seeing a women: NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO

hands are cramped to hell and back but I made a lot of progress on a series of small DA character portraits today, both OCs and canon! so far I've finished Janais and Solas, and am partially done with Felassan and Miralin (who has a new design I'm really into!). next is going to be Dorian!

Keen on you #dragonage #solavellan

these deserve their own post because I think they're pretty

i'm not generally one to post my custom player characters online, but i keep seeing all these rooks from dragon age: the veilguard on my feed and my rook is maybe the happiest i've ever been with how one of my player characters has turned out so here you go:

"AI ART" IS. NOT. ART.

this is soooooo dope

We were on the cusp of an immense breakthrough: A cure to our HIV epidemic. A vaccine to prevent one of the world’s deadliest diseases. Until RFK Jr. defunded vaccine trials because a cure to HIV isn't as important as tax breaks for rich people like Big Pharma CEOs.

Welp, my teen finished up the Tearstone Island & the Fade prison sequence tonight. Quoting her about how she feels about Solas atm ... "I'm salty." 🤣🤣 (Yes, she knows I'm a huge Solas fan.) (Yes, there were tears during Tearstone *and* in the Fade Prison .... 💜) #DragonAge #TheVeilguard

All of the Rook doodles from today 💖💖 Everyone makes such lovely Rooks!

[Don't often do these ... but this one is irresistible. :-)] If you see this, repost with a GIF from a franchise you love

Ok, I pinned the post to my profile!! So add Rooks and OCs as y’all see fit :)

Democrats… learn something from this

Remember when NFTs were inevitable? The plagiarism bot has more and louder rubes, but it’s just as much a grift, and we don’t have to agree to it.

(Reuters) - Pediatric infectious disease expert Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos of the US CDC resigns as co-leader of a working group that advises outside experts on COVID vaccines and is leaving the agency. reut.rs/4ksJLZt

Tech companies decided that using platforms to algorithmically engineer people into a negative body image was too slow and cumbersome, so now bots streamline the process.

Kinda hurts to see only pan pride art for Lucanis without even the mention of him being demi which is just as important....idk, it feels like the typical "oh it's just demisexuality, not worth mentioning"- kinda situation 😔 Hope there's more demi rep soon

The Witcher series isn't my thing (literally just a "me" thing)--but Ciri looks phenomenal. Fantastic design. Misogynistic, agist assholes are showing their whole asses. As usual. So, quick reminder: Celebrate what you love. Don't feed the engagement numbers of far-right pricks. Just block 'em.

I’m sure a lot of people staying on X for whatever reason think they’re immune to Nazi propaganda but I genuinely fear for what is happening to the brains that are stewing in that Nazi propaganda for hours every day
