Another essay, this time on what I've learnt from making many worlds for VRChat: their designs impact people's behavior in ways far stronger than I ever expected. VR is an escape to a better world, here's how world design could help keep it better! evalkafox.wordpress.com/2025/10/04/c...

I've been through a lot in my time on VRChat, making many mistakes and doing my best to learn from them but finding it difficult. I thought to condense what this taught me about social VR into something I think is worth reading. Let me know your thoughts! evalkafox.wordpress.com/remember-the...

At the top of the next hour of this post, we begin our first day of our new Deliberative Diplomats course with @venialogan.bsky.social! There's still some time to register until then! 🥳

We tend not to realize that we've decided our own facts based upon the way we originally view things. In failing to convince someone to think our way, we may think of them as amoral. How do we manage this online? Sign up for @venialogan.bsky.social 's course to learn more! scms.me/vr-discourse...

Divisiveness can shape our interactions with another person on a computer elsewhere. The time/energy we spend doing that really influences how we interact with our own communities. How do we manage that? Watch and sign up for @venialogan.bsky.social 's course to learn more! scms.me/vr-discourse...

Our June 2025 leadership summit is live now ♥️💜💙: www.youtube.com/live/J9vGGIP...

With only a week left to register, here is an informative message about our new Deliberative Diplomats course from course teacher @venialogan.bsky.social ! Feel free to share with any digital leaders you know trying to navigate tough problems. #VRCademicSky #CivilDiscourse scms.me/vr-discourse...

The internet as we know it today forces us into isolation while promising us belonging. How can we still maintain healthy communication when our conflicting values disagree? In our new course starting on June 21st we will explore this embrace of conflict: scms.me/vr-discourse... #VirtualReality

Sometimes I prefer my worlds to do the storytelling, there's no lore or explanation on what this place is or why it is the way it is, why large stone hands dot the landscapes in either gestures of supplication when facing up, or gestures of sheltering when facing down.

Wonder why PMR's cardboard avatars have become so popular in Second Life? Because they're a big break from SL's default ultra-realistic human avatars which, while cool, have become so standard, they've hurt SL's community spirt. Read why in this excerpt from my book: nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2025/04/...

VRChat friends, I know a lot of us come to the virtual world for healing, escape, and positivity, but the truth is that we have a duty to embrace our gifts and give back to the world by becoming politically aware. We are an incredibly powerful species and we can make a huge impact on the world.
