Me when I meet funny, smart, talented, soulful, artsy, immaculate vibes woman: "H...h...hiii! O..ahh...umm...do...are..you also... ...disgusted by the way that femmes are exploited, colonized and used under the patriarchy for the benefit of MEN and can I maybe hold your hand romantically please?"

Eriol Fox @erioldoesdesign.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I had conversations about when nation states delete educational data when political parties change, how we back that up, why we scrape data for what archival purpose and the fear of data 'death' and important information being 'lost' in a digital sense but alive in people's stories. Humanising data.

This has really made me reflect on what I used to have capacity to do, what I was supported to do and how i prioritised how i showed up in the world both inside and outside of my compensated roles. I want to be the kind of person again that can say yes to walking into danger again.

...it was sad to see a recent call out that while i qualified for, i did not feel i could respond to because I'm not in a physical condition to do something i found great value in, offer humanitarian aid.

Eriol Fox @erioldoesdesign.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Since 2022, even though I've remained deep into Human/Digital Rights work, Humanitarian technology etc. because i wasn't keeping up a strict exercise regime, I'm much less physically fit than I was when I qualified to deploy internationally.

Eriol Fox @erioldoesdesign.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

I trained up and was approved to deploy on international humanitarian support missions with www.re-act.org.uk back in September 2022. Before that I had deployed domestically in the UK to rapidly respond to the COVID needs as well as flood relief.

one of the AMAZING things about Voidheart Symphony is you get to as a team decide what your next antagonist is going to be and why. They are connected to NPC's and the themes we want to tackle as a group. We chose to fight ICE officers next session. Hell yeah.

yes but also in this case for the build supply chain there can be an/many attestations (as far as my understanding of this goes!)
