Full intro

howdy y'all, i'm Emily i'm from the UK so if you want to try exotic British snacks hmu asap before my allotted luggage space is filled. more specifically i'm from Bristol (home of the Yogscast) and spent a few years volunteering at Prickles--the UKs largest hedgehog sanctuary--located in Cheddar. i love long walks on the beach, experimental self-enforced misery, and Slay the Spire 2. i wanna teach some folk how to play Mahjong while i'm over there and try a California roll, maybe catch a Valkyries game.

i have some experience working with big serious AI Safety folks as an AI Safety Camp alum (thanks Robert Miles); those connections got me near front of the line to try out DALE when all the generative image stuff was first coming out. i'm super looking forward to making some wacky interesting videos. i always thrived as the presentation giver at uni, so hoping to do some short snappy show-and-tells about how and why we are all 100% going to get bioweponed by reheated sand that can do math. big fan of the social analogy as an explanatory tool so will be looking for people to play some characters in vids with me. though i'm excited, i am not looking forward to the heat or the jetlag or the embedded cultural idea that a kettle is an unnecessary kitchen appliance.

publicly visible things: The Treacherous Turn (a free TTRPG), FrodgePodge on Youtube, i helped raise 15k$ for the Trevor Project (Minecraft server).

kangaroos don't seem like natural born killers to me so i think i have a good chance.

P.S. this is your to-do list: tell me ur favourite 4-digit number; bring me a rusty piece of metal; react ur most used emoji (experiment).
