Intro

Meet Ben, a person with a tale of transphobia, excommunication, lost hope, and the secret joy of failure. How does all this lead to gender gladness, to hyacinths, and to a game called Trans Theft Horso?

Meet our newest author, Ava. She can solve a Rubik's cube in under a minute, host a comedy show, and have an anxiety attack on demand. However, the Labour party's anti-trans moral crusade means she is planning on emigrating with these in-demand skills and starting a career as a developer.

Meet Olu: developer, writer, sewer, apprendre français-er, and internet enjoyer. Read about their experiences trying to find a place in the social enterprise, charity, non-profit and social enterprise worlds, what bought them to GFSC, and their surprising optimism for technology despite it all.

Behold, a mythic lore drop from studio founder Kim. Read her never-before-told-story (at least, outside the pub) about the various elements floating in the existential stockpot that slow-cooked GFSC's primordial soup.

Meet our fingers-in-pies resident record holder, Emma. Pies include: teacher, designer, researcher and train-enthusiast. Learn more about her thoughts on the liberatory potential of teaching.

I wander among waking dreams of digital lifeworlds and the unevenness of the future. I like doing things in sporadic bursts of energy - art, poetry, code-bashing, and writing as making practices. I think about media culture, science communication, and infrastructural resilience.
