June Sea<p>Hello everybody!</p><p>I guess it is time for an <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/introductions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>introductions</span></a></p><p>I am June, from Vancouver, Canada. My gender is 422. 🤷‍♀️ </p><p>Gosh, I'm supposed to describe who I am and my life? No idea where to start.<br>I am an extrovert, survivor, and kind of 3 cats in a trench coat, pretty sure one of them is a racoon in disguise.</p><p>For what I do: I develop my own video games (Unreal), make art in various mediums (traditional, digital, photography, 3D, interactive,...) and DJ for my friends. I love hikes, road-trips, raves, novelty and being like, super weird. I also freedive a lot and read mental health scholarly articles for fun.</p><p>I do not especially identify as transgender, but gender transition is what I am engaged in.</p><p>I am part of a polyamory / relationship anarchist family with my partner, where I am helping raise a lovely (and quite hilarious) child.</p><p>I am currently in collaboration to attempt at creating a prosocial co-op studio with a friend, hoping to bring mental health-focused cosy games on the market. Because, you know, late-stage economic and environment collapses are kind of turning everybody a bit mad.</p><p>I am a big proponent of finding joy, grace, support and hope when facing struggle. One faces pain easier when equipped with joy, and one accesses joy easier when facing pain.</p><p>As diagnosed AuDHD +&amp; in resolution stage, I write about philosophy, social justice, transformation, decolonization and mental health. I also do pro-bono trauma coaching and crisis support for gender and neurodiverse communities and consulting services for therapists looking to better support clients on the neurodiverse &amp; dissociative spectrums. (I would argue that going into the mental health field after 15 years in games is kind of the pipeline 😅 ).</p><p>Regarding who I am? If you're a bit into tarot, I'll say that I could identify as the explosive mix of The Fool, The Magician &amp; The Empress. Something like that: I enjoy traveling between worlds and seeking natural truth.</p><p>Nice to meet y'all!</p><p><a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AuDHD</span></a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/disabled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disabled</span></a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>philosophy</span></a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/newhere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>newhere</span></a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>queer</span></a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/poly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poly</span></a></p>

Announcing the latest title in Open Humanities Press's MEDIA : ART : WRITE : NOW series:

Masked Media: What It Means to Be Human in the Age of Artificial Creative Intelligence by Gary Hall.

Available open access - to be downloaded for free:

openhumanitiespress.org/books/

If we want a socially and environmentally just future, do we need a radical new theory of change – or to radically change theory? Unsettling received ideas of the author and the book, originality and copyright, real and artificial intelligence, Masked Media tests ‘non-modernist-liberal’ modes of creating and sharing knowledge enabled by media technologies, from writing through to GenAI. Thinking outside the black box that renders Euro-Western knowledge-making practices invisible – keeping the human ontologically separate from the nonhuman – it shows there’s no such thing as the human, the nonhuman already being in(the)human.

Just a reminder that I am the philosophy reviews editor for the Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies. I get a lot of requests from authors to find reviewers for their books, so if you would like to be on my radar, please let me know.

Even better, if you work in philosophy or religious studies and you would like to propose a review essay about a recent book in 18th-c phil to me, please get in touch! I do make efforts to ensure our reviewers get physical books whenever possible.

Benn Jordan does it again: “You are witnessing the death of American capitalism”.

Great video, great insights. Rings true, with all that’s happening around us today. The Great Techbro Takeover is real, and it’s because once you accumulate enough wealth, money in itself ceases to be an important measure of wealth.

It’s a long watch, but a good one. Please check it out.

Would you agree with the following posited idea?

"Kindness is not just the rejection of selfishness but also of the utility monster. Kindness is grounded - based on our consideration of each individual in the present rather than philosophical abstractions of the future or the collective. One can act for the greater good of a country, or humanity, but one cannot be kind to those things - only to a person."

Boosts and thoughts appreciated!

#Fascism isn't a new phenomenon but is has a #history and understanding it is necessary for #prevention & #resistance.

There is an often overlooked work by #italian #writer, #philosopher & #antifascist #UmbertoEco

First published 1995 in the #NewYorkReviewOfBooks nybooks.com/articles/1995/06/2

There was no #gamification that time

There is a #wikipedia article on it & many opportunities to find it in different languages
