I've been having fun with a new platform for #interactiveFiction, qynari.com (except, of course, I'm using it for interactive #learning materials!) It's designed to be visual and lower code than #twine and they are actively seeking user feedback atm. Worth a look :-) #VisualNovels #CYOA #GBL

This is an excellent book and you should buy it for the kid (or pacy-fiction-loving adult) in your life. discoverkelpies.co.uk/books/fantas... #BookRecommendation

This is such a good article for anyone working in conservation. One thing overlooked imo is how the size of organizations play a role, with people in small NGOs working twice as much for twice as less with little protections. First hand experience here 😉 news.mongabay.com/2026/03/an-e... 🌏
