For new follower: I'm an artist/researcher/writer/game designer based in north east England. My interests are mostly between ludology, horror studies, and ecriture feminine. Long term foci are trans readings of Cixous, + TTRPG manuals as experimental literature and model for audience agency in art.

This has been running for years, but they barely programme any speakers that prop up their "we just want debate" bullshit. It's a terf-fash mixer for pilling undergrads Also crazy that JJ charlesworth (who does this very year more of less) is still taken seriously RCA hosted this at least once

We are subjected to psychiatric pathologisation in return for two benefits: legal gender recognition (lol) and access to healthcare (lol). This coercive practice now only has any purpose for those of us who can’t afford to opt out. Torture based on social and financial capital. That’s real Britain.

Soma is utterly beautiful because it does exactly what Jesper Juul in ' the art of failure' says games have not been able to do. Which is to make a classical tragedy where the player must knowingly proceed towards their own doom. And it does it so well because it splits player from player-character

"Transphobic" like "racist" was coined to describe a reality and a moral valence came along with that description and it turns out a lot of people love the reality - the behavior, the attitude, the structural harm- but will violently resist the idea that their lessers may morally evaluate them.

My version of a plan/mood board/story bible is a diagram of fragments of things that have caught my attention over a given period. I've been using this method for 7 years, and almost by accident the current project has got a second diagram (leftover from a cancelled commission).

The pandemic exposed deep inequalities that devastated young disabled people. Yesterday, the Covid Inquiry heard evidence that disabled people aged 18 to 34 were 30 times more likely to die of Covid than their peers. These inequalities must be tackled before the next crisis.

If you see people having fun discussing horror movies, don't do this. It's not witty. It's not helpful, and it's certainly not original. At best, it's INCREDIBLY annoying, and at worst, it sounds like you're shaming someone for daring to not think about politics 24/7. Either way, you're an asshole.

I cannot underline hard enough how awesomely corrupt it looks, that the SNP were d3str0yed over that, while this fucking idiot took huge bungs from Israel partisans to wreck his own party and then create a government that would assist in the genocide of the Palestinians. It is unbelievably bad!

Newcastle says no to fascism. The far right brought a hundred or so with them, bussed from far and wide. This city turned out 1000s, from local communities, estates and streets. Geordies of all backgrounds coming together and outnumbering the purveyors of hate by some distance. Newcastle united.

A short while ago, Democrats found you can't both claim that the opposition is Satan, and then vocally support all of said Satan's points. But it might work for Starmer.
