Many full time creatives have โ€œinvisible safety netsโ€ like bread-winning partners, trust funds, external support, etc. No shame on anyone, but it creates a false vision of success. The cost of going to cons alone on top of hoping to eat as a freelancer are untenable, IMO.

We need more developer-centered industry third spaces that don't cost an arm and a leg to get to or participate in.

If you run one or know one, now's a great time to bring attention to it.

I'm glad he mentioned the Battle of Blair Mountain. Before I'd heard that story, I'd no idea that the red bandanas worn by miners is where we get the term "redneck" from. Also sadly makes sense that the definition went from "supporter of labor rights" to "poor uncultured person" in the public eye.

Ah, so "not for a normie". ๐Ÿ˜

If nothing else, I appreciate the K-Pop Demon Hunters reference, because that would be a really fun setting for a game.

Shahd Alnaami is a Palestinian writer based in Gaza. She is an English literature and translation student at the Islamic University of Gaza, currently living amid the hardship of genocide. Shahd has been writing throughout the genocide. Shahโ€™d dream is to be granted a scholarship so that she can continue her studies abroad. Shahd has written for We Are Not Numbers, Al Jazeera, and has contributed to Gaza Poets Society.

Meet Shahd

Dear gentle reader, this is Shahd, a survivor of genocide, still here after a year and three months. The days and months have been too hard. I have lost so muchโ€”or perhaps I should say everything. I lost my only sister, Rahaf, I lost my friends, home, and any sense of stability. But I am still alive today, still holding my pen, still writing. Because stories must be told. Because my peopleโ€™s suffering cannot be forgotten. Because words have the power to bring life to what others try to erase.

We're proud to be distributing the poetry and prose of Palestinian writer Shahd Alnaami. Sahar Mustafah says "Amidst a genocide, Alnaami honors the loved ones sheโ€™s lost as well as those who survived and continue to resist."

All proceeds go to the author.
