Our bias towards charismatic species leaves 'ugly' animals behind in conservation efforts.
But should looks determine which species we protect?🐡

This International Women’s Day I’m saying Merci Gisele. Her unwavering commitment to ensuring rape & abuse victims know that the shame is NOT theirs has inspired countless women to come forward & share their own stories.

Gisele Pelicot, Medical Misogyny and How Disabled People Face Increased Risk of Abuse
Most of us have heard Gisele's story. It's a reminder that even men you trust can harm you. Did you know that she went to her doctors for help? A look at how medical misogyny contributed to her abuse.

Got some really wonderful responses to this piece, I even joined a disability justice collective! Time to not only write about better futures, but to act as well 🌱
My first blog is up! Originally an essay for my Master, I wrote from my own embodied experience about the parallel between collapse in the body and collapse in society. What happens when we, as a society, learn to live with collapse and loss, instead of despite it?

The marriage of hypercapitalism and fascism is a global vampiric death force. A powerful life force has to meet it. If we keep pretending the work we need to do isn't spiritual, it may cost us everything: anticiplay.medium.com/fighting-for...

Look at these beauties I just got! I recently finished GM-ing my first ever ttrpg with a self-written narrative and it energized me so much. I'd love to dive into the art of being a game master more - does anybody have any recommendations? Videos? Books? Dos and don'ts? 🎲

Regret is rarely a directly visible cause for issues at a studio, but unacknowledged it can lead to creative stagnation & loss of resources, process, motivation, focus, and/or direction. I've seen it too often, so while it might feel like a bit of a weird one, hear me out.
