Truly wild situation I’m dealing with.
So there’s this crazy ass lady from NC that shares my name, one L and all. She’s a right-wing extremist who has said hateful, dangerous things.
Seeing my name on a nat’l level associated with this (on my birthday week!) has been surreal..
But if I can counter her noise for even a moment:
I, Michele Morrow, would like to encourage Democrats in NC to VOTE for

.
Registration deadline is October 11th.
It’s been absurd, and nearly comical to see my namesake twisted into such a bizarre opposite.
I’ve actively stayed away from posting about politics because I find it endlessly toxic to my soul, but some things can’t be ignored (esp when getting attk’d from fellow Dem’s)

“Play to earn” destroys the key component of why people game: PLAY. When play becomes work it’s no longer fun and can’t be an escape. It also erodes game development, forcing design choices into money making mechanics over the pleasure of overcoming challenges.
Gaming lost a pioneer.

I feel that, but absolutely not. This is my stage name, my career. To be honest, it hasn’t been that bad. A handful, really. I’ve been thru *way* worse with gaming. I’m speaking up to claim my own name.
