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.

[Sasky Stewart @Sasky]

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.

@LucieLeud @NaNoWriMo It's just an expired security certificate. Nothing scary they, u surprisingly dropped the ball renewing it.

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.

[ColorsFadeGaming @fade_colors]

No one should be encouraging, supporting, or otherwise promoting #NaNoWriMo.

That's the tweet.

[Janna @karalianne]

So this just dropped and I am seething. Allow me to translate and explain why.

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

[Stegosaurus Rex @DiannetheWriter]

#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

[Sushi @sushimustwrite]

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

[Sushi @sushimustwrite]

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.

[Angela S. Stone @AngelaSStone]

Absolutely heartbreaking.

From Jennifer Carter, a teacher at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia.

What the hell are we doing?

[Angela S. Stone @AngelaSStone]

@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

[KR Holton @kr_holton]

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!

[Sushi @sushimustwrite]

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)

[Angela S. Stone @AngelaSStone]

@Arumi_kai DId you notice how they admitted they can't afford to paid their Interim Executive Director?

[Megan Kinch @meganysta]

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...

[Angela S. Stone @AngelaSStone]

@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.

[Angela S. Stone @AngelaSStone]

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.

[Arumi Velociraptor | sudo -99 dex @Arumi_kai]

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.
