Go see Game Worlds and congratulate Jini and Bethany on their work in games 💖
Six weeks since Game Worlds opened - a lifetime, a millisecond.
For so long, this show only existed to me, Bethan, and a handful of others, - and now it belongs to thousands of you as well.
Thank you to everyone who has visited so far - the response has been unfathomable 💘✨

The boys asked me to come back on Thumb Cramps and review Pokemon Legends ZA. Spoiler I like it. Hate on me about the graphics I don’t care, the game is about Pokemon not windows. It’s not called Windowmon.

I’m researching ways that digital technologies in Australia's private rental sector are impacting renters and housing justice.
I’m looking for more interview participants. If you are a renter and have experience using ‘RentTech’ - I want to speak with you!
