Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot
It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

I’m Holly- a writer, narrative designer and historian. Recently got my PhD (19th & 20thC social cultural history through the lens of play & board games) and currently working in game development. I do a lot of things but I particularly love applying historical approaches to interactive storytelling.

TR-49 is a great start to the year - all the chewy brainfood you'd expect from Inkle, but in more of a traditional puzzle/mystery format. So type in MC-26 and listen to this and heaps of other game recommendations from late 2025.
New episode! What we've been playing, featuring some leftovers of 2025 and TR-49 from Inkle.

A good rule for posting: before hitting 'post', imagine what the most bad-faith interpretation of your words could possibly be, and then consider the degree to which such a response would negatively affect your day. Then just delete the post and resume scrolling your feed.
