So, what do you bring with you today? Student counsellor, studying narrative therapy in Aotearoa. Fan of motorcycles and cats.
When corporates invoke 'Security', they mostly mean, 'of my personal wealth'.

Bloody hell. Neely's music is a bit noodly for my taste, but his politics are spot on. I had my Futurismo period as a youth, but I grew out of it.

What blows me away is how much utility each zine is. I'm terms of what I can get out of it at the table, it's like a whole hardback D&D 5e book.
I worked at otago UBS in the late 80s. There was a rainbow haired lady in the shop one day and I thought, "that must be Margaret Mahy". Sure 'nuff. Love to all the rainbow haired ladies.

it's a great stepping stone job, and I've know a few great people who have been through the program as facilitators.
I had a lesson plan, but it went off the rails almost immediately. I suppose keeping it relatable in a way to bring it back to the main concept - Whare Tapa Wha in this case (all Mason Durie, all the time!)
And yes you are. And I say that because you're a human, and it would be very hard not to.
I screwed my interview up completely. I thought they were trying to dig for personal information, and my boundary bubble game was tough as. Apparently I wasn't 'relatable enough', and I should have been more open.

I'm using it to document our Shadowdark game, and do quick sketches of memorable moments to send out afterwards. I still feel quite soiled though.
