Ask for feedback online on your creative projects. Really, do it!
It’s easier to know if you are going the right directions, if ideas work or not.
Feedback isn’t personal criticism. It is personal development - and not all feedback has to be followed to a Tee

My son is autistic, largely nonverbal. He reads a lot, is smitten with all things Lego. He excels in school. He finds his ways to communicate.
There’s nothing wrong with autism. The rhetoric drives me mad.
It’s on us to make the world easier for neurodiverse folks, not to push them to conform.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

I wouldn’t say “beloved” but there’s an episode of Mythic Quest that makes every game dev dissociate
an interesting subtopic! which shows/movies are beloved by the profession for Getting It Right! Lawyers famously love MY COUSIN VINNIE, doctors I believe love SCRUBS, apparently Aussie barristers are surprisingly fond of RAKE's depiction of some aspects of the law.
Oh god I remember watching HOUSE with some doctors, it was a the usual mix of “you would get fired instantly and never practice medicine again no matter how good u are” and “that case actually isn’t hard to solve at all”

There's NOTHING in this existence that it's more important to be than yourself. Fully, without reservation or restraint, just exactly who you are. Denying trans folks that opportunity is denying their basic humanity.
being trans is a gift. it is knowing yourself fully, it is accepting yourself, and it is fighting to be yourself in the face of unimaginable vitriol and enmity from the worst people on the planet.
i love my transness, and yours.

I can’t wear this shirt anymore—it started falling apart after years in heavy rotation—but recent days have reminded me that this message, this spirit never went away. This is still a winning idea. This is still how we build a better future. (One or two of you, I suspect, will recognize the artist.)
