Hockey would never let
the politics of brotherhood cost you what you crossed oceans for.
Hockey’s a game.
The rest is just what they can get away with in its name.
It’s just “locker room talk” they say.
Even when the locker room has desks and no skates in sight.
Hockey would never suggest the real problem is that you don’t get the “joke”.
Never imply you’re “ruining it” by not being chill.
Never make your reporting the ‘real’ crime.
For #NaNoWriMo this year, I'm using trackbear to track my words instead of the original site. Still aiming for that 50k words in 30 days, just independent of the organization after their struggles.
Hi #GDQx gamers! Due to an issue at the TwitchCon venue, we will be rescheduling the Super Metroid race to tomorrow.
We appreciate everyone's patience while we sorted this out! See you tomorrow at 10:30am Pacific!
Extremely disappointed in #scrivener for being so... Pro... Everything #nanowrimo is doing.

Ew
I have a Scrivener license and now I regret having a Scrivener license
Alt I highly recommend:
LibreOffice
It's FREE and not fond of defending pedophiles and AI
#NaNoWriMo is no longer committed to storing the novels written as part of their Young Writers Program. If you or someone in your life used the YWP site, you should back up your work asap
The #nanowrimo statement has been updated with a different non-apology, with no hint of being edited.
Left: the original statement pulled this morning from https://t.co/GVO9BC0FQS
Right: the statement on https://t.co/aLa5lwwDDf as of a few minutes ago
Scrivener just issued a long statement on not withdrawing their #nanowrimo sponsorship, despite finding NaNo's view bizarre. https://t.co/zosD7M5nHZ
No screenshots because it's just over two desktop screenshots long.
@aidenschmaiden@NaNoWriMo Let us know if you hear back! The "volunteer interim executive director" is currently at a writing convention in Edinburgh and it's out of office until September 9th
This is the biggest 🖕non-apology I have ever read. You can't retract a statement as a "mistake" after you wrote in an edit that stood by your position!

This is going to get attention soon, so here's Freewrite's statement in the New York Times. I was unable to find one before now. #nanowrimo HQ has been swift to remove sponsors lately upon request, so this error is very interesting. https://t.co/Z8tzVSpQB8 (possible paywall)
This whole controversy from #NaNoWriMo about how its "classist" not to allow AI in writing. I'm a working class writer. There are lots of us. Yes it is hard for me to write. But AI isn't going to help me tell my story...
@sushimustwrite Did you see they can't afford to pay their Interim Executive Director? Maybe that's why she's on vacation at RARE Edinburgh rather than dealing with this.
New #Nanowrimo news. Updated letter to the community which reveals that they cannot afford to pay their Interim executive director. Also "Harassment and intimidation" was people nicely asking on the #NaNoWriMo facebook page for something other than sponsor content.
OUCH. This one... hurts.
A concerned user got a response from @ScrivenerApp.
They have no plans to withdraw their sponsorship for #NaNoWriMo, even going as far to defend them.
