That's me! Barclay and Bee foolishly let me poison their minds with tales of mecha combat... except actually no @salvageunion.bsky.social skews a lot more towards non-combat options than you might think! Mecha isn't just for perverts (/pos & /neg), you've also got the power of collective action!
We’re back! Last month, we went to PAX: Unplugged. This month, you get the recap of our con experience, as well as interviews with Adam Seats (@iknowadamseats.bsky.social) and Sage the Anagogue (@anagogue.bsky.social).

lots of “networking” talk on the timeline recently, here’s my take:
pax was the event that taught me not to be scared of talking to cool people, because 99% of the people i talked to were people i just found out existed at that moment and when i said “you seem cool” they felt the same way about me

i think the first version of what begin again is now started here, almost two years ago. but i think the concept that eventually turned INTO begin again is from a good 6 months before this, if not more! i chipped away at this marble block for a loooong time lol
