I wish I could explain to you all how proud (and simultaneously insecure) I am of what I have been working on, and how utterly insane and complex my project has been becoming. 🫠 Suffice to say I have built an automatic device coordination and communication system (including spinning up new data streams :uplink: )...all of that was just to build this simple game for my experiment, but to make it flexible to run with teams of 2, 3, 5, N, players and be able to handle data collection, EEG, and other stuff. :corteximplant_b: :mk2:

It, hopefully, will be a super useful tool for anyone wanting to do research into groups, social dynamics and related investigation...or you could just use it to build a game haha. :commodore:

So, I've been revisiting some of my past experiences with my old coven. I reunited with several coven-mates last year, and discovered that my old tradition -- #Alexandrian -- had split into two factions -- one that accepted transwomen, and one that didn't. If I ever decide to get back into it again, guess which faction I'd choose. And yeah -- unfortunately power dynamics, hierarchy and potential emotional and psychological abuse happens a lot in "religious" groups -- even #Pagan ones.

I've managed to summarize the "Pros" and "Cons" of my joining a coven all those years ago...

Reasons I joined the coven:

1. Earth-centered religion with a political focus (Thomas Morton Alliance)
2. I learned Welsh from my high priestess.
3. My high priestess was a very intelligent, feminist, who espoused matriarchy, egalitarianism, and who was a Marxist anti-capitalist and a role model for me.
4. One of my coven-mates became my gay best friend (we're still BFFs).
5. Another coven-mate taught me traditional plant medicine and herbalism.

Reasons I left the coven:

1. I was pigeon-holed into "feminine" roles in rituals (even though I identified as NB and more masculine than feminine).
2. Over-bearing "acting" high priest (AIM member who was a bit of a bully).
3. Over-bearing coven-mate (AIM member) was distrustful of gay best friend (and was homophobic).
4. "Feminist" high priestess allowed herself to become emotionally and financially dependent on over-bearing coven-mate, refused to accept help from coven-mates (like having a room-mate, or other mutual aid), and when over-bearing coven-mate ran off with a younger, female coven-mate, high priestess fell apart -- eventually taking her own life (despite the support of the coven -- which soon fell apart as well).

And some folks wonder why I'm a solitary (though most of my witchy / Pagan friends understand why).
