Boycotting Harry Potter stuff is much like boycotting the New York Times. It's an incredibly easy adjustment for someone to make to their life, with almost zero consequence, and yet "allies" will bitch and moan that trans people are asking too much when either is brought up.

Protip: you do not have to watch the new Harry Potter trailer. I did not watch the new Harry Potter trailer, and I am doing great. If I had watched the new Harry Potter trailer, I am sure to have felt regretful and like I had betrayed many wonderful trans folks just living their lives.

Temperance movement: We want to reduce alcohol consumption! Me: I went from 3 bottles of wine a week to nothing with no relapses after 18 months and no desire to relapse. Temperance movement: Holy shit! Amazing! Please share how you did it! Me: You’re gonna really hate this bit …

A few years ago, I was representing a client, a white woman, at a trial. The details of the case aren't important, but suffice to say that the question at the heart of it was where my client was at a certain time. A police officer swore he personally witnessed Client doing a certain Thing.

Just launched Teams 101 - the most complex course among the eight. It covers everything from hiring to firing, motivation and trust, leadership and conflict resolution - it's a lot, dense, and sadly a course that many indie studios could benefit from their founders, directors, and leads taking.

Teams 101 - Levelling the Playing Field

The healthy way to lead a small team, from giving good feedback to handling the conflicts you'd rather avoid.

You can't just shout "WAFFLES!" at people giving you direct feedback that the delta between your words and actions are making your priorities unclear. Your actions will speak for themselves. Make sure they say what you mean. And make sure you do, too.

But: 1. You do actually have to deal with the one who started it. If you leave hate speech up and ban all the rude responses, your policy is that hate speech is okay and rude responses are not. The purpose of a system is what it does. 2. You have to be clear about what behavior is unacceptable.

And sure, yes, "we don't care what the other person said; you can't say 'go fuck yourself' here" is a rule you can have But if you enforce that more zealously than you enforce rules about hate speech that folks said "go fuck yourself" in response to? People will draw conclusions about your values.

When you say "we don't allow dogpiling" without distinguishing between those two scenarios, you're not making clear rules that contribute to respectful discourse.

When ppl are like "I don't like ai slop, but obviously the technology is cool" no man, fuck you. You don't have to believe in technology just because it's new and being sold to you. It's literally a theft machine designed to replace us all. HAVE ONE SINGLE THOUGHT
