Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

In my day job, I run an org called the Writers' League of Texas. It's a nonprofit dedicated to supporting writers at every stage of their career.
I love this job dearly, as I am able to help writers EVERYWHERE (not just Texas) along the path to publication. WLT needs help too, unfortunately.

tbh none of this is worth doing without friends anyway. if making friends isn't a primary goal of what you're doing I feel like you're doing it wrong
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.

The confusion and conflation of ‘generative ai that is built on stolen artwork’ and ‘machine learning, character behaviour modelling and proc gen’ is intentional on the part of the grifters peddling the former. They benefit from murkiness of classification, because the latter predates their bollocks

something I learned this year is you should invite people to things even if you know they can’t come. instead of it making them feel bad it actually makes them feel good

Whatever production time and cost was "saved" by using AI for one of the most human-dependent disciplines in game making was actively obliterated by the act itself, overshadowing the hard work of every single other developer on the project and making this situation impossible to right. WHO KNEW.
For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

My current dream gaming device is a Steam Deck but in a pocketable clamshell form factor. Love my deck but it's too big to lug around everywhere. Love my Retroid Pocket Flip 2 but the Android gaming ecosystem is extremely limiting in comparison to my Steam library. Just smush 'em together plz thx

writing is thinking, drawing is thinking, telling stories is thinking.
i understand the earnest impulse to get rid of "the boring stuff", but even the boring stuff is thinking.
depriving yourself of time to think about things is sad, but depriving kids of time to think about things is just cruel.

"A.i." doesn't empower anyone. It strips them of belief in themselves and the power of their own minds and hands and abilities and stories.
EVERY KID CAN DRAW. EVERY KID CAN TELL STORIES AND MAKE COMICS.
Fuck "A.i." for telling kids lies and making them less-than.

Rep. Steve Scalise says of proposed Medicaid cuts: "35-year-olds sitting at home playing video games, they're gonna now have to go get a job."
"And by the way, that's a good thing for them — their mom doesn't want them sitting in the basement playing video games anyway."
