Big thanks to everyone who came to #unearthed's last session on empirical ecocriticism. I recapped my thoughts on the book on the reading group website. New materials for the October meeting on #climateactivism are also up. See you on the 23rd! un-earthed.group

If you're in #Oslo check out this larp festival Grenselandet. Think short-form, zero prep, conceptually and creatively innovative games. The program this year features sauna larps, sci-fi stuff, and a game about nuns. Come and meet this amazing community! grenselandet.net

Benediction is a #larp is about a group of medieval nuns who are told that in five days their abbey will be blessed with a visit from a traveling priest and miracle worker. Play to find out: is he a threat, a temptation, or a source of redemption? grenselandet.net/2023/09/benedi…

I wrote a poem about the #deeptime hubris of the 10.000 year clock. Check it out A mechanical pulse, a throbbing pain And in time, a car park and a gift shop But all this business cannot last Not in this heat. Read full poem here: ecozona.eu/article/view/4…

🙌 70.000(!) mensen and counting.. Dit is officieel onze grootste opkomst ooit. De politiek kan niet meer om ons heen. Politici, letten jullie op? Het signaal is duidelijk: de klimaatcrisis is nu en raakt ons allemaal. Nederland wil een eerlijke en groene toekomst! #klimaatmars

So proud to have my poem "Ticking like a Mountain" published in Consilience. Shout-out to my mom who was the first to read it and who told me to find a bigger audience for it.

When it rains it pours. I have a chapter in this wonderful #OA book about how communities are revising their seasons ed. Scott Bremer and Arjan Wardekker. It's about the emerging trend of dark seasonality in videogames: think storms, droughts, floods etc degruyter.com/document/doi/1…
