hello im satah 🖤 im a classic sorta alien cyborg type who crashlanded from space into ontario canada at one point or anyother. i'm a ttrpg dork/designer, musician, & general writerly eccentric abt town. the image above is from my website, gay goth vibes dot online. did you know if you make a website you can just put dividers that made from pictures of your face, whatever,?
i'd really like to make art with or for you! i do sounds & words & all sorts of stuff. if you're interested in collaboration or hiring my services for something, my e-mail is in the sidebar & i'd love to talk
ttrpgs this year i've put out two goofy zero prep GMless cyberpunk games
hook line & cyb3r, a go fish-powered cyberpunk-flavoured game of blade-wielding bounty hunters, developed for the fishblade 2023 game jam
slender threads of freqs & fortune, a one page paper fortune teller game of scraped data & taking decisive action on limited information

i contributed some system agnostic adventures to this zine during ZiMo. i've also been doing some like mechanical consulting & editing. that stuff is really wonderful bc i get to talk to people about their work & find the right questions to help bring them closer to the core of their ideas & it's one of the coolest feelings

music
as @peopleyoumeetoutsideofbars i make singer-songwritery heart-poury music that's been described on event pages as things like "apocalyptic bedroom pop" & "acoustic goth broadway". we have sixteen albums & EPs available wherever you rent music, or for PWYW on bandcamp 🖤 i've been putting out a youtube video of something or other weekly the past little while to just get in the groove of making music again & slowly stretching my legs in longer form blogging again talking abt my work & stuff on the pymoob cohost

as @pilotingtheanimal i make experimental poetry & sounds. it's raw & glitchy & gross & has been such a saviour of my relationship to art generally; when i feel like nothing is working or good i know i can always go break something & it will fit in perfectly with this project. on a whim recently, i put all of its releases on all the streamers as well, or you can pick them up for PWYW on bandcamp
