#CGSA2026 came to an end, and like every year, it's bittersweet. I'm exhausted but also feel energised by seeing my friends and welcoming new people to our wonderful community. Much like this plushie and myself, we are silly geese. But also serious scholars, swear!

for both Pride and #manifestojam, I created the sauna manifesto - because in this era, more than ever, I think we need more gay/queer/trans sex/body/everything games and we need them now:
