Events and game updates

Hello! This weekend I took a surprise trip to St. Augustine because it had the closest theater playing Wake Up Dead Man. My partner and I stood in the surf for a good half hour just letting it wash over our feet. It was too cold to swim, but I only needed to breathe in the ocean air. I think if I started making monthly trips to stand in the ocean, all my problems will be solved somehow.

Upcoming Events

a.c.d works will be at Orlando Zinefest. December 13 at 7pm-9pm. Blackbird Comics and Coffeehouse.

I’m going to be at Orlando Zinefest on Saturday, December 13th at Blackbird Comics and Coffeehouse in (you guessed it) Orlando from 7pm-9pm! I’m so excited to be tabling at another zinefest. I might even have a new zine to premiere there (if I can finish it in time)

de-google your life. Virtual and remote via jitsi. Free informational co-working space to work towards divesting from google and similar tech corporations. To attend, go to acd.works/workshop on Monday, December 15th 7pm-9pm EST

I’m also going to be running a remote version of my De-google Your Life workshop! Join from anywhere in the world on December 15th at 7pm EST by going to this link.

Join for a short presentation about the why and how of divesting, as well as a look at different open-source and privacy-focused alternatives. Then an hour and a half of body doubling dedicated to making new accounts, switching emails, or anything else you might need. Let’s de-google together!

New game release date announcement

I’ve posted on social media and on this newsletter before about my next interactive fiction game, THE OCEAN WELCOMES YOU. It’s a classic whodunnit murder mystery that devolves into a horror as the game itself seeks out more bodies. Well I have good news…………It now has a release date!

The title screen for THE OCEAN WELCOMES YOU

THE OCEAN WELCOMES YOU will be released on January 26, 2026.

It will be available to play for free on my itchio and on my website! I’ll probably put out a newsletter specifically announcing its release.

I’ve been working on this game for over a year now, so I’m very excited for it to finally be out in the world soon.

I’ve been having a lot of feelings about being a fat person and the world not being built for me so I’ll bring back a poem graphic I posted on my website a few months ago: CELEBRATING OBESITY!

A tan, paper-textured image with brown accents. The words “CELEBRATING OBESITY!” sit at the top in a large bubble font. A round botanical drawing is faded into the background of the image. Two round abstract shapes almost like a person kneeling frame the top paragraph. The text reads, in alternating cursive and bubble fonts: “You are invited—cordially of course—to the wedding of A.C.D & THE FAT THAT HANGS OFF HER BULGING STOMACH. On the EVERY DAY of the EVERY MONTH of the EVERY YEAR. At THE SOFT FEELING OF SUNLIGHT DANCING ACROSS HER EXPOSED THIGHS. Join the 300 POUNDS OF WONDERFUL, UNDULATING FLESH for a night to remember and a large, full life to treasure. The DENSITY OF LOVE, the WEIGHT OF HUMOR, and the HEAVINESS OF SPIRIT to follow. P.S. All gifts in the form of advice, diet pills, or similar smelling bullshit will be torn open and stabbed using a thin person’s fragile rib. P.P.S. The happy couple is only accepting well wishes, poor wishes or any wishes in between in the form of COLD HARD CASH. P.P.P.S. Pay up, shut up, crack like the twig you are.”

remake your grave,
