adventure games from the 80s were intentionally designed to be tricky, mean and occasionally counterintuitive so that you could get stuck for long periods of time. this was called “value for your dollar”

Story Skeleton—A Wizard of Earthsea Le Guin shaped the YA fantasy genre while never quite belonging to it. She proved that young readers can handle complexity and ambiguity, and that a children’s story can be rich in language and ideas.

I'm going to cancel my Nitro sub, despite liking the value I get out of it, because I don't like what Discord's been doing lately.

European email providers | European Alternatives An email provider provides its users with an e-mail address and the corresponding mailboxes.

Anyway, if you are - and I am not sure yet - there is a good list of non-US alternatives for email and other services here: european-alternatives.eu/category/ema...

Oh hey, looks like Libby has a built in spot to let them know what we all think of their recent announcement about allowing AI books in their systems.

If you’re gonna self-publish your book, NEVER use genAI for the cover. Doesn’t matter if every word in the book is your own. GenAI indicates cheapness, laziness, and that you don’t give a shit. And if you don’t give a shit, why should your readers?

To me, "aspiring writer" means "looking for a pen".

You're a writer. Own it.

Duane Kearns Puryear, holding his panel for the AIDS Memorial Quilt. It reads, in block letters: "My name is Duane Kearns Puryear. I was born on December 20, 1964. I was diagnosed with AIDS on September 7, 1987 at 4:45 PM. I was 22 old. Sometimes, it makes me very sad. I made this panel myself. If you are reading it, I am dead..."

There are several great resources to learn about Duane, his advocacy, his family, his panel, and the politics of memory and re-creation, especially this one by The Dallas Way: http://www.thedallasway.org/stories/written/2021/9/19/duane-puryears-and-the-quilt-panel

Duane Puryear died in 1991.

It's your birthday, Duane.

it is INCREDIBLY fucked up that we’re trying to make writers look hot on camera. every writer i know is like “please leave me in the same clothes i’ve been wearing all week that are covered in crumbs i will shower after my deadline” they should not be on tiktok
