That has I think been responsible for my pervading sense of isolation, I complained earlier this year that my main LARP character, Liissá wasn’t especially fun to play because she is essentially a very lonely person. … Read More
I don’t think I’ve ever really had a Pride wish list before. I usually buy flags to decorate the house because that really cheered me up during lockdown, but to be honest our house is kind of covered in rainbows never mind if it’s Pride month.
