I'll also state on TDOV that beginning tomorrow you can watch a series of films directed by trans people on the Criterion channel. We programmed this series with love and with hope.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

Excavation of Hobs Barrow is a lot of fun if you like windswept atmospheric investigation with a touch of weird

That’s some fine pointing and clicking you could be doing right now. I’d particularly draw your attention to Unavowed, The Excavation at Hob’s Barrow and Old Skies, but I’ve played and enjoyed them all.
