As someone who ran an award show, it’s all made up 🫶🏼 I don’t know a single person who was better off because of one. The purpose is to network and find community, not actual competition between peers. Celebrate your peers, check out their shows, use the nominations lists to build community 💕

Also, a friendly reminder: Award season comes with complicated emotions and a lot of those feelings are valid and coexist. It is okay to be weary of webfests, award shows, and grants while also being stoked if you/your friends got something Community binds us, not trophies

Googling “Hideaki Anno trans???” until I get the answer I want.

Can we also talk about the absolute batshitness of having to do workarounds for embedded generative AI because it makes so many errors and yet the *de facto* position of these major corporations seems to be that it is logical and sensible to inflict *incorrect functioning* on the world?

had this pulled up for my freelancing guide how topical indeed

I really hate the “I don’t owe anyone anything” mentality because we actually owe each other and this planet a lot. You don’t have to be selfless all the time or burn yourself out but you should be kind and helpful and compassionate to the best of your ability. We need to care about each other more

A gentle reminder: libraries are still here, still free, still open to everyone. No appointment required. No subscription fee. Just walk in.

Polymarket lets people bet on wildfires. Wildfires that those samepeople could easily set in order to win money on this illegal gambling site. Big Tech is organized crime.

‘I was chatting to ChatGPT about The Walking Dead—‘ The characters in that show would fucking hate you. They have to survive an apocalypse. You can’t even survive researching something yourself.

Taylor Farms also owns and runs Earthbound Organics, which is available in nearly every grocery store across the US

This framing is so disgusting and irresponsible. Yes, Taylor Farms supplies Taco Bell. THEY ALSO SUPPLY TONS OF OTHER RESTAURANTS AND GROCERY STORES. People will take "avoid Taco Bell" as the lesson which is NOT HELPFUL. www.wcvb.com/article/cycl...

huh. sounds like a weirdo.

For @mothership.blog, I talked to over a dozen caretakers about the reality of being a caretaker while working in games. The short of it? It's *very* difficult. Here's a glimpse of the current experience, its consequences, and coveted standardized practices: www.mothership.blog/the-games-in...

The games industry isn't taking care of its caretakers

We spoke with over a dozen devs who take care of children, aging parents, and sick family members

I’m not thrilled that apparently the secret to success in basically every field right now is “be really good at short form video”

Public Domain Art is the lifeblood of small tabletop rpgs, but it can be a nightmare trying to find the right art and license. This week, I’ve re-uploaded my old list from 2020 (with updates) of public domain websites. That's 500,000+ public domain paintings, photos, maps, and film. Link below 🔗👇

This is downstream from Diamond Comics going bankrupt while holding a couple mil in Paizo books, not returning it, trying to sell it, etc. If you've got opportunities or donations for the affected Paizo workers, it is extremely not their fault they got caught up in this.

Avi Henriques 🩸@legalizegoblins.bsky.social · 3w ago

Paizo fans, #ttrpg enthusiasts, union supporters. We need to build a LOT more energy for our laid-off United Paizo Workers members’ crowdfunders. Both of the two people crowdfunding are in Indiana where the safety net is nonexistent, healthcare is through the roof, and options are limited. 🧵
