Things I like : observing animals, photography and nature outings, observation drawing, wetlands, spring, the smell of lilac flowers, plushies, nature field guides… Things I despise/hate : people who hate a species from fear/disgust, generative a.i, fascist and “anti-woke” people, misinformation spreading, heat-waves, parties revolving around alcohol, chronic fatigue… Under these post-its are medias I like. The Clash, Temporex, System of a down. A book on demystifying science, Americana by Luke Healey. The ologies podcast and Magnus archive. Three games I liked : A little bit to the left, Sol Cesto and Another crab’s treasure. Visually, a character (me) is on the right, beside the post-its, and waving its hand.
