[Scholars At Play @ScholarsAtPlay]

Hey! We've been quiet for a bit, but we've got some new stuff coming in the new year! For starters, we did a new "What's In Your System" episode you can check out here: https://t.co/Qca7tJZGnl

[Scholars At Play @ScholarsAtPlay]

SAP is BACK BABY. We had a nice long summer break, and we've got some great stuff planned for the fall, but in the meantime, why not check out our new series "Scholars (Actually) At Play" where we have fun and play games with games. Here's the first ep. https://t.co/KLOSLZvTk6

[Scholars At Play @ScholarsAtPlay]

There's a content warning in the shownotes and at the beginning of the episode, but it doesn't hurt to say it multiple times: this episode contains discussion of sexual assault and abuse. Skip it if that's not something you want to listen to

[Scholars At Play @ScholarsAtPlay]

New episode about how Persona 5 handles abuse, and what it feels like to play it in the middle of #MeToo. This one is a little heavier than most episodes, but we felt it was important to do. https://t.co/AtqeX2xgz5
