Not that it's anything specifically new, but it's a terribly depressing time to be in Texas and have Cornyn and Cruz as my senators despite repeatedly voting against them.

Your local librarian here to say that it’s great if you read lots of books this year, alright if you read barely anything, that audiobooks, romance and graphic novels are all valid formats and genres, and that some authors suck but we’re still not stopping you from reading them.

I canceled my Duolingo subscription for a variety of reasons. It ended today.
I opened Duolingo and got aggressively hit with a begging end of the year sale. That's supposed to be ~60%~ off. I check out of curiosity.

When a disabled person expresses concerns over assisted dying legislation, please listen to them.
Don’t speak over them.
Don’t assume they want to deny you the right to die.

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question:
Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends.
Make. Friends.

Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.
They have come to the convention hoping to "break in" and then find themselves -- shocker! -- a "nobody in the book world." Yeah no shit! We all are! I have gently told guys like this a million times that it takes most of us *years* of hard work but they do not believe that could be true for them. +
