I cause chaos doing marketing for charities. I also take way too many photos, run a d&d group and draw random things.
Ended up getting the job. It was only because the top boss read every CV that she was able to go "No we're interviewing her". Even as a placement student I made huge changes. Another boss openly admitted he originally didn't want to hire me because I was a girl despite the best experience.

"I want people to be judged on merit" is DEI. The number of times studies have shown how even something like perceived gender or race impacted whether or not your CV is read or interviewed is actually scary. I almost didn't get interviewed once because the engineers thought my font was too girly

Video games are a massive time capture of art, culture, politics thoughts and beliefs often overlooked. They have shaped films, books and beyond.

That doesn't even cover accessibility for nurodiverse to improved critical thinking skills. Add in mental health and stress relief - there's less violence because of games. It's not all sunshine and flowers - there are many games aimed at young people that encourage gambling habits.

Do you know how much video games have done for education! I don't think people are aware of the change there would be in schools and what was feasible.

Look at tools like TT rock stars and it's impact on timetable retention to engagement in financial education with the Milo's Money game!

I think this will have a bigger impact than people realise - a lot of charities and organisations are only staying on the other platform due to the journalist outreach strategies. No journalists there, no point staying there for many.

No this is a thing a lot of people struggle with. It's nothing to do with volume, sound quality or hearing but how different brains can function.

Add in also so my research from my dissertation around sound being used as therapy and to improve physical and cognitive function, reading being better isn't true either. It depends on the person what is best for them.
