NASA is being told to cancel 19 active missions to save $6B, which looks to be less than the ICE hiring/retention budget going forward. I need people to let that sentence sink into their bones for a minute.

i think folks tend to get lost in the sauce of righteousness that we forget cons are run by our fellow community members, by majority volunteer work. we wouldn't have these spaces to be safe and be with our loved ones without them. its ok to disagree, but don't be abusive about it lol.

Mmm just want to quietly say, as we approach Anthrocon… please remember con staff, at almost every level, are unpaid volunteers who are doing a lot of work out of a love for their community. Be kind, and see con staff as your allies, even if there are policies you don’t understand or agree with.

If you attend cons you should read this and know it is 1000% accurate. I love staffing cons, it let me get experience doing a lot of fun things I don't get to day to day, had some of the moments I am most prowd of and met some of the best people. But my god is it a lot of work. And we do it for you.

I am not con leadership and cannot speak for any particular event but if anyone has general questions about why a decision was made I can offer my educated guess, happy to discuss. Conrunning is my special interest:P

i am going to be honest, ever year working cons gets way harder. it has literally nothing to do with the amount of work or the kind of work. it's literally just how you're treated. ten thousand armchair quarterbacks just endlessly complaining and name calling.

Artists and small business owners who use Stripe- there's a new "AI" feature for payment disputes, it's auto-enabled and will charge a 30% fee if you win a dispute using it. You might want to turn this off. I personally don't trust a slop feature to handle disputes for me either.

There is no amount of ac you could blast or not blast that would even make a dent in the rate of climate change compared to how wasteful corporations, governments, and militaries are every day.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.
