Here are some recent blog posts that I enjoyed reading:

• Watched The Remarkable Life of Ibelin by Laura Michet — I really appreciate folks sharing their memories of spending their teenage years in anonymous online communities <3

• anarchism starts in the now: hope for a better future by maia arson crimew

  anarchism is about togetherness, and we can only achieve this by coming together not just to fight but also to have fun and laugh together, even if only for a bit.

• An Introduction to Russian Emo by Jim Parks — really big selection of emo releases from various Russian cities

• (Almost) Every Cat I Met This Year by Nat — beautiful cats

• Ageism in Games: Stop Calling Old Games Outdated: A Self-Review of Anodyne by Melos Han-Tani

  Games have an ageism problem: look at any ‘best games of all time’ list and I 100% guarantee you it will always be weighted towards the past few years. Really old games are often viewed as “not for everyone!!“ or “the devs were really dumb back then!!” rather that things people DID engage with and enjoy and resonate with, things that were deliberately designed. All it does is reinforce an ecosystem where we - players, devs, critics - are ALL weaker as a result, because there’s little collective ability to engage with the past on one’s own.

• S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl Is a Beautiful, Thoroughly Miserable, and Entirely Worthy Successor by Dia Lacina — my favourite kind of video game reviews <3
