Hey everyone! My name is Leona and I'm a DEI consultant and sensitivity reader with a specialty in helping video games and TTRPGs!

I'm currently looking to take a couple short term projects under my belt so if you're looking to work with me, now is a great time. Let's chat!

Pls share!
This is a weird frustration to have (maybe?) but I love living a fairly solo life. I am better off when I live with people I love, but living solo has allowed me the space to develop a relationship with myself. That said, it sucks when I go to a party solo and literally no one wants to talk to me.

I am remembering an old granny who was well known in my family for giving everyone a raspberry on the cheek cuz she had no teeth to give kisses with. Young and not so young, everyone was subjected to it. I will never forget when my brother gave her a raspberry right back and she laughed in delight.

I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.
Color Taste Texture by Matthew Broberg-Moffitt: 9780593538593 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books
An accessible family cookbook that offers solutions rather than tricks to empower the food-averse, autistic, and picky eater, with 46 recipes. This much-needed cookbook combines tips and techniques.....

So the full title is COLOR TASTE TEXTURE: Recipes for Picky Eaters, Those with Food Aversion, and Anyone Who’s Ever Cringed at Food. I know that “picky eaters” is a loaded term, the sole purpose of it in the title is so it can be found by the most people. It’s used sparingly within the book itself.

I went back today, I couldn't help myself. The waitress and seemingly proprietor has such a hustle and a voice that's loud in a way I enjoy. She immediately recognized me. I love the "all day breakfast and lunch" and "Chinese specials" and nothing in between. The prices are amazing and I love the
I love supporting the local diner up the road from me from time to time cuz I love small businesses.

Waitress: "Oh, your coffee is done. Let me get you another cup"
Patron: "When you have a moment"
Waitress: "Oh I have a moment!"

She said it with such zest I couldn't help but smile.

as someone worked for the bbc over a decade ago -- in games + tech -- execs capitulation to right-wing pressure has been a longstanding problem. & though i think the bbc IS biased towards the establishment not towards the left, a public broadcaster is a GOOD THING

Folks, a pill to swallow: if current Democrats will cave to your healthcare, they will cave to your voting rights. If they will cave to you not getting paid for 40 days, they will cave to LGBTQ+ marriage. If they cave to stalling our airplanes, they will cave to destroying our National Parks.

Wanna know how I know I'm not doing well?

My dayjob pays me on the 7th and I am usually watching for my paystub like a hawk. Not only did I not watch, it did not occur to me that I got paid until today. Geez. Yikes. That's a first for me.
I have been slowly spiraling down ever since the weather changed. It's the gloomy months and I knew it would impact me but yeah this is just a note to say that I am okay, just.... Struggling to human a fair bit. I will be okay in the long run tho.

I cooled off on participating in bundles for a while because life got busy, but I'm super proud to be a part of this one. Richard at @sprintingowl.bsky.social is an amazing community leader. Bundles like this make it feasible for indie creators to actually create.

Vampire bats produce an anticoagulant called draculin that helps them feed on blood without it clotting.

Scientists are studying possible human uses for the blood thinner, so if you overhear a nurse ordering you a dose of draculin, don’t be (too) afraid.
