A (re)#introduction thread as I've switched servers. 👋

Hi, I'm Keegan! I live in #SouthAfrica & I'm a researcher at Africa Check. So you might see me posting about fact-checking and local news.

I'm much more likely to be posting about King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, #StarTrek, books, and other interests.

I've got a personal site, where you can find my infrequent blog posts. Here's something I wrote recently about book covers that I was quite pleased with:

Reading The Well of Loneliness by Radclyffe Hall, hot on the heels of another queer classic, Giovanni's Room.

Playing Clair Obscur and Blue Prince, two exceptional videogames that feel like they've rewired my brain.

GMing a long-running game of the TTRPG Lancer. It's a crunchy tactical combat system that's quite different from the RP-focused games I tend to play, but has been loads of fun.
