Hey friends,
I’ve been thinking a lot about how wild things are in the US, and while I’m pretty outspoken on social media platforms, I tried (for a while) to keep the focus here at Page x Pixel on books and games. But books and video games are political, and right now, the political landscape in the US is scary.
But this isn’t just about politics. It’s about how our culture is shaped. What we read, watch, and play has meaning. When people start censoring or punishing media, it affects all of us. It’s a reminder that free speech, independent voices, and open dialogue are things we have to actively protect.
I don’t have all the answers. I’m navigating things one day at a time. What I can say is pay attention. Stay critical. Support creators, journalists, and artists who aren’t afraid to speak their truth. And maybe keep thinking about how the stories and games we love so much can help us understand the world, and fight for it, before we lose it.
Thanks for sticking around.
