Obduction is still an incredibly beautiful game in places.
A fantastical scene in two vertical halves - the left half has lush jungle forests amidst severed, arching rock formations and to the right, the scenery trails off into bright cyan skies, large nearby planets and vibrant white clouds. The sky and clouds are behind some kind of vertical membrane, visible through watery ripples.

My brain has been in this particular trauma-mode the past week or so where the idea of using my normal portable work setup (which needs a desk) was too much to bear. So a friend kindly lended me his iPad Pro 12.9" 2nd gen. 💚

I've only just finished setting it up. I'll find out how it goes!

The march at Trans Pride Brighton yesterday 💚
A dense crowd fills North Street, Brighton (a narrow street lined with white stone buildings). Multiple trans, nonbinary, and intersex flags are visible above the heads of the marchers. One prominent sign in the foreground reads “FREE PALESTINE” with the Palestinian flag underneath. Close-up of a protest sign held during the march at North Street, reading “MY PHASE WAS LIKING J.K. ROWLING” with a trans symbol drawn beside the text. The crowd marches with rainbow and trans pride flags throughout. Some people look on from the pavement while others participate or film with their phones. A large crowd marches down West Street, Brighton. At the center, a wide pink, blue, and white banner reads “Transgender Rights Are Human Rights.” Marchers wave transgender and nonbinary flags. On the left, a gothic church is partially covered in scaffolding; on the right, a modern building with balconies houses a restaurant. The sky is overcast, and a few onlookers watch from the pavement and windows above. A bright and expansive scene showing marchers turning a corner by Brighton Pavilion. A sea of people, many with trans and nonbinary flags, fill the road. The sky is partly cloudy, and the sun highlights the trees on the right.
