HEATHER IS WATCHING

I’m putting on another Cool Date this summer!
For those who don’t know about it already, it has nothing to do with dates. It’s a series of Twitter poetry readings that I organize and host sometimes. There were two in the fall last year, which were each a surprising success. Cool Date 3 is long overdue. I’m excited.
Follow Cool Date on Tumblr. Follow Cool Date on Twitter.
Follow these cool people, too (LINEUP HINT!): @freecorgi, @drugleaf, @dreamfroth_3.
Date TBA. Late July.

I’m super excited to be helping out the Different Games conference as a volunteer this year.
Different Games is a space for radical discussions of representation in games and the relationship of the medium to designer and player identity.If you care about issues relating to gender, accessibility, culture, race, politics, class, sex, bullying and other social issues, come out and be a part of the discussion, April 26-27 at NYU Poly in Brooklyn.
It’s a great opportunity to connect with others who care about these issues, and to learn how you can help change the games space to include perspectives that are currently underrepresented (or not represented).
It’ll also be a lot of fun!
