My improv synth band, Pleistocene Megafauna released our 3rd album last week. Took us a while to get through all the jams, but this is our 'best of Year 3', collection.

'Best of Year 4' coming in a few months 😅

On the lookout for creature VO artists for an upcoming project — big, troll-like stuff. If you can growl, snarl or grunt with character, drop me a message.

Megathread of pro-trans petitions on Parliament’s petition website. If Labour suddenly gets hit with debates for a bunch of pro-trans petitions, maybe they’ll realise this issue isn’t going away and they’ve fucked up.

After years away from game dev, I couldn’t stay silent about my people’s dehumanization. I made Dreams on a Pillow 🍉a game inspired by a famous Palestinian folktale about the 1948 Nakba.

I’m crowdfunding it now—please back & share!
