FINALE TIME BABY!

After two years of this coming-of-age, saving-the-world and causing-general-chaos story, our teenage heroes reckon with world-reshaping power, first love and newfound freedom

I'm going to miss my boy Nimbo and his friends 🥲 I've never cast Ceremony so many times in one campaign 😅

In search of any postive news, any dopamine hit, no matter how small, I looked up "year of the snake" hoping for unscientific reassurance for me, someone born in a Year of the Snake.

On the plus side, I learned some fascinating stuff about Chinese cosmology.

HELLO THERE 🥰

I'm Khalil, a Palestinian-British science communicator, creative producer, comedian, game designer, TTRPG performer and neurodivergent nuisance 😈

EXPECT: science 🧪🦠, TTRPGs 🎲, show updates 🎤😘, politics (the left-liberatory/anarchist kind) 🏴, a mix of joy/wonder/rage/grief/whimsy 😍😭😠🤪

Last night I was at the South Bank for an evening of talks to celebrate the re-publication of Edward Said's seminal 1979 book The Question of Palestine, which brought the morality of Palestine to Western audiences.

NGL it was a pretty emotional night examining our past, present and future.

Last night @sciwithrach.bsky.social and I were at the Royal Institution for LGBTQIA+ In STEM Day to show off @scienceandsorcery.bsky.social's plans for the funding we've been awarded by @prideinstem.bsky.social!

TL,DR: Keep an eye out for some amazing local lineups for England, Scotland and Wales!
