  1. I don't like copying my posts from other platforms. But I wrote this on my writer Bluesky profile:
    ____

    After yesterday's struggle, I wrote a scene for the next "book", called "The Seventh".

    Whether anyone reads it, I completed "Skirmishes and Schisms" on @worldanvil and I have another full novel draft on my computer called "Wrenched".

    I guess that makes me a #writer.

    We are exited to invite you to our third Unpublished event! This time we want to call you for a collective reflection.

    To Speak of Gaza: Philosophy, Resistance, and the Limits of Solidarity

    In a time marked by unspeakable violence and deafening silences, this talk invites us to reflect on what it means to act, to think, to speak, and to resist—for Gaza and through Gaza.

    Drawing on two years of engagement, witnessing, and writing, Dr. Yasmeen Daher—a Palestinian philosopher, writer, and political organizer—will explore the limits of language, the failures of moral solidarity, and the urgent need to reimagine resistance beyond the frameworks of liberal care.

    This is not only a philosophical reflection, but a political call: a call to summon our histories, confront our complicities, and draw new conclusions from our collective actions, narratives and resistances.

    For those who cannot afford to remain observers, this event opens a space of reckoning.

  7. Case study of medicinal plant use in cats, specifically my cat Tux:

    Abstract
    It was big news recently that an ape was observed using plant medicine. Headlines said it had never been seen before. But I see it with my cat Tux all the time. She prefers a particular kind of grass at our place to induce vomiting (if she's eaten something gross or off). She will sniff at various different kinds of grasses until she finds the one that will induce vomiting. The one she prefers will induce vomit within a few minutes of ingestion.

    Methods
    Observation of Tux over many years of us living together. I first noticed it by chance because I saw her sniffing different grasses until she found one she liked and ate it. She doesn't usually eat grass, so i just observed her. Shortly after eating grass, she was observed vomiting.

    Today I noticed that she only ate a small amount of her wet food (she normally loves it) and seemed kind of "off" all morning. Later in the morning I saw her sniffing various grasses and I figured she probably needed to barf. She found the type that she likes and started to chew. It's not very easy for her, so I ripped a piece off and helped her eat it (see video fig. 1 below). Attempts to offer her other types of grasses yielded no interest. About a minute later, she vomited.

    Results
    Cat vomit. Cat feels better after emptying the stomach of whatever was bothering her. I threw out the cat food that had apparently gone off.

    Conclusion
    Take what you want from these observations, but my conclusion is that Tux has a specific type of grass that she knows will induce vomiting, and she seeks it out specifically, while passing over other grass varieties that grow at our place.

    These observations were only possible because we live together and I have had the opportunity to study her behavior for many years in our shared environment. If more scientists lived in the forest & got to know their animal neighbors, they might have a better chance of catching observations like this in the future.

  9. CW: Game design art - Stirred

    Before and after artwork for Stirred. Based on playtests, I was looking for a way to increase recognition on the player choice of movement along with an update to the background so the elements look like they are floating in a pool of goo. I really love the cartoon style of the original, but wanted to explore using something a little darker based on the theme. New art by @mogo_graphics #boardgames #DesignDiary #unpublished
