chart of child mortality in history, roughly 48% for all societies across the globe…until the 20th century, where it plummets to 4%

Currently dorking out over this graph about child mortality with my brother. Just mind boggling to take in.

Haven't been able to stop thinking about the bravery of this man. Just another morning, off you go to your nice, normal rail job, and by the end of the day you've put your life on the line to save other people's.

Wax Heads by Pattatue Games, coming 2026. I'm a writer on this game! The image shows a character, Tee, wearing a pink longsleeve and holding a vinyl she just pulled from its purple slipcase, about to putvit onto a record player. Tee has aqua hair with lime green bangs, she's wearing glasses and headphones around her neck. In the background, a man is looking through a vinyl rack. Oddsparks, released this year, nominated for the Deutsche Entwicklerpreis. I wrote on this game, too! The image shows your character, wearing a red cloak with yellow accents and holding a wooden staff. Under their arm, they're holding a wood spark, a tiny creature that looks like a tree stump with googly eyes. They're lookingvdown onto an assembly line from their vantage point on a cliff. Mars Vice, a queer visual novel. The image shows a woman of colour in an olive turtleneck holdingba to go coffee cup. She's quishrd between several anthropomorphic animals. She's looking grumpily up at her partner, a male lion. Mythwrecked! I'm it's lead writer. The image shows Alex, a woman if colour with a poofy bun of natural hair, shorts and a tankntop, in front of several other characters.

Hi everyone, I'm urgently looking for any work. I'm a writer and narrative designer, I offer game consultations and mock reviews, I localise between German and English, I can write copy. If it needs words, I'll do it! Here's some games I've written on in the past:

Nadia from London has an idea that sounds such fun you'll be booking a day out asap.
"I've always loved museums," she says,
"but they can be overwhelming for children. For decades now, I've done something called 'playing postcards'
We do
the museum backwards, visiting the gift shop first. Each child gets to choose three postcards. Then they take it in turns to find that particular artwork in the museum and give us a little information about the piece from the details on the postcard, or from any gallery plaque. At the end of this treasure-hunt-style activity, we vote for our favourite in the cafe."

This is such a clever idea on taking kids to museums/galleries
