"We're all so much alike... and yet we're all so different! I find myself rejoicing at the endless variety of human beings, and that's partly, I know, because your differences from one another tell me that it's alright for me to be different in many ways, too." - Fred Rogers 🧵 1/2

This is 100% correct So many of us live for that big rush of player excitement, and even if we don't, our teammates do, so everything will get shared around It may end up in a community manager's report that gets emailed to all by the CEO or something, that's definitely a thing too

Between being the emotional co-regulator (aka Community Manager) for a community with kids old enough to know shit’s on fire but not old enough for direct action, and you know, shit being on fire, my downtime has found me on SDV again, now with Good Place vibes. Where the fuck did February go?

Another thing I will say is that when it comes to emergent mass action, conveners do not own the movement. Sometimes a call comes from an obscure, odd place and transforms as it captures popular imagination. Ad Busters called for Occupy, for example. But they did not own it or organize it.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

If you don’t think you can get on board with an action and there aren’t clear and present safety/security concerns, fine. But don’t stand in the way. Don’t dissuade people from organizing because you personally don’t think it’ll work. That doesn’t help our collective cause and goals.

Exactly. Trans ppl are considered a “safe“ target, now that nearly 10% of the population identifies as queer, meaning just about everybody knows a gay person and is less vulnerable to propaganda about them. Trans people, on the other hand, are maybe 1 or 2% of the US population.

This man is a fucking disgrace to the United States and to every Senator who voted to confirm him. He’s irredeemable and should never have been confirmed. It is never “normal” for a school-aged child to die. His callousness is DISGUSTING.

This news truly breaks my heart. We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line! abcnews.go.com/Health/1st-m...

Something's gotta give. Something's gotta change. The state of the gaming industry and the create industries as a whole is unsustainable. People don't deserve to have their lives uprooted on a whim, their hard work and passion either wasted or stolen and fed into slop machines.

And the social aspect of Substack is almost certainly overrated! The reason people’s newsletters grow is because other authors mention them and link to them. That has nothing to do with the platform! Other platforms (Ghost, Beehiiv, Wordpress, Buttondown, Medium) have better economics, too.

This is serious. PLEASE vaccinate your kids. Measles is NOT a “normal childhood illness” and people telling you it is are either 1) lying or 2) uninformed because they are too young to remember dire complications from vaccine-preventable illnesses. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

There are lots of affordable options on the site for you to treat yourself, so please don't look at the pictures and go "dear gods it is too lovely I would never be able to". I mean yes, it is (too) lovely but no, you can find something affordable. There are sneaky treasures.

Today, fellow elected officials and I confronted University of Pennsylvania leadership about their cowardly decision to scrub DEI programs. I reminded Penn that Presidential Administrations come and go. When Trump is gone, our community will still be here. We will not forget that Penn abandoned us.

So, instead of simply pointing out our trauma, what can the rest of the world learn from it? What did we do? Because while some of us were driven out, many, many of us stayed. We formed protective circles. Both industry wide and within companies.
