Content moderation is also a job that is in large part outsourced overseas, and generally an entry level job that requires little to no tech expertise, and is in itself exploitative of workers that are exposed to abusive content for extremely low pay.

lol, I posted this before listening and didn't realize he actually kept the dialogue in, so you can in fact hear him go "that's what the song sounds like." πŸ˜‚

okay, so jay walks in (sort of, he'd already been there for two days directing singers), knocks these out in one take* and is just like "yep, that's what the song sounds like."

he is so good!!

*technically did another of the first song for safety

Listen. If you don't have any spirited 12 year olds on your list, feel free to buy this for yourself. I LOVED this queer Chinese reclaiming of the myths of the American West.

Y'all I gave this graphic novel 5 stars and giving books 5 stars is not a thing I do very often at all.

It's really excellent.

You may not spot it on the shelf of your local indie but usually they can order for you and get it promptly.

I loved this book! I would describe it as the Chinese-American version of Paul Bunyun.

IIRC I read this and enjoyed it a LOT as part of a YA graphic novel professional conference. Can't recall if it was Books for the Beast or the Black-Eyed Susan one, but it's deffo well recommended either way!

The Legend of Auntie Po by Shing Yin Khor: 9780525554882 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books A NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST Part historical fiction, part fable, and 100 percent adventure. Thirteen-year-old Mei reimagines the myths of Paul Bunyan as starring a Chinese heroine while she works ...

If you're buying gifts for spirited 12 year olds who have read most of the middle grade graphic novel canon, can I recommend my book The Legend of Auntie Po? It's multi-awarded, and well reviewed, but hasn't entirely found its commercial footing.

All 50,000 panels of the National AIDS Memorial Quilt has been fully digitized.

You can search Duane's name and see the panel he made. And someone else made a panel for him, too.

I've talked about it before but the AIDS Quilt and the project of memorializing queer stories through tangible physical objects is fundamental to how I want to make art and the methods and mediums I choose. This is such a loving interactive digital archive, and I am so sad and glad for it.

The research that @bfletcherwatson.bsky.social did to figure out what really happened in this Stoppard quote is a stage design historian's dream. There is a map! Several firsthand accounts!

(an absolute joy to read, thank you)

I do pull them randomly, but with intention β€” and I firmly believe that threads of magic exist in the universe that just know where things must go. ❀️
