"How many guys have you slept with?"
In a world where this question is still gendered, why are you still using 'guys' as a way to address general groups of people? Consider that when words are used differently in different context, it still carries its meanings across each situation.

After a successful debut last year, Imaginarium returns on 30th November 2025 with an incredible line-up of authors and artists. While mainstream media often highlights the dark side of today’s world, Imaginarium celebrates the light through speculative fiction of “Dystopian Hope”.

Narrative design is, in part, understanding there's no "boring parts" of a game: it can all be used to tell the story, it's all an opportunity for creativity, and if you view certain parts as "boring" you are missing out.

I recently got back onto social media (just LinkedIn and here) after an on/off hiatus of sorts. I notice in LinkedIn that I get a lot of TED talks on my feed. I wonder to myself - wow, is it still that popular? I wrote my MA thesis about it 13 yrs ago.
Turns out, I subscribed to them and forgot. 🤦♀️

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.
