Folks, I have a child who is looking for play testers for a _hard_ sci fi RPG system - real physics, optimistic and thoroughly decolonial politics. ("well, it's not optimistic if half the world gets nuked", they said.)

It is not another capitalist warmongers in space hard SciFi system.

If anyone's interested, please contact me by DM and I will put you in touch.

Cover for The Watch Below. Shows a man looking outside of an underwater craft. Fish and plants float and swim around him

Cover for Hospital Station. It depicts a large space station with a spacecraft approaching. The space station contains two major parts -- a spherical end and a long tube with various other tubes along its outside. It has a medical red cross on it.

So after a couple of days of snooping around and butting into conversations, I guess it's #introduction time 😁

I'm originally from Singapore, but moved to Naarm (Melbourne, Australia) in 2004.

I have been in the hospitality industry for 18 years.
The last 12 of which have been spent in the kitchen as a chef. I post about #food a lot 😏

I also have a background in #Anthropology, #SocialTheory and #HumanNutrition.

Am currently in the middle of a #PhD in #Education - researching community #foodpedagogies as well as food education in #PublicHealth.

I am passionate about #SocialJustice, #FoodSecurity, #Decolonisation and dismantling systems that perpetuate division and inequity.

I am a #dancer, #SciFi geek, a novice gardener and have a regular #yoga practice.

Open to meet anyone and everyone. Excited to be here and looking forward to many amazing conversations and friendships! 💜

Medicine for troubled times: I have somehow only just now discovered James White's _Sector General_ books.

Pointedly pacifist #scifi . Great aliens.

#UnilkelyWish for next year: may the word "ecosystem" never, ever be used to refer to consumer goods or technology ever again. "Marketing operational domain" or "slang to confuse the buyer" both work fine. Ecosystems have earth, nematodes, wet sticky fluids full of nutrients, parasites, and decomposition. You don't want those in your wearable AI enabled fashion-leading quick get-away impotence remedies, and I'm fine not buying your ostentatious tat. Agreed?

@yetiinabox 👍 😂 ... writes a #Scifi: Parasites infiltrate an impotence remedy for AI sex and use it to keep humanity subservient. Ants harness homo sapiens as exo-brains, bringing themselves to the brink of extinction.
Suddenly, a small, unknown tribe of springtails forms an alliance with nematodes: they achieve world domination. What will happen to the last humans whose brains are no longer capable of marketing? What happens to the forgotten CEO in a leafcutter ants nest?

Found via Reddit. Apparently there's an upcoming book in Polish collecting letters exchanged between Ursula K. LeGuin and Stanisław Lem. Not sure if there'll be an English edition at some point, but I certainly hope so!
