Things you may find here: swords, roller derby, knitting, NaNoWriMo, science, DnD, righteous anger, glitter.

Happy Labor Day! “If we raise the minimum wage, then prices will go up.”

in retrospect, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords really might've been a better basis for a system of government.

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

@MikeDrucker @NaNoWriMo I'm about as anti nano as they come these days, but since you don't actually use the nano site to write your novel, nor do you upload your work to their site at any point nowadays, I'm curious as to how you think this has happened? I think they will in future, though.

As school begins in England, periodic reminder that schools which choose to reward 100% attendance without equally rewarding disabled children who cannot achieve this for disability related reasons may well be breaching the Equality Act and the Human Rights Act

one part about worldbuilding you soon realise is no matter whether it's a war, a king, a god, you have to come up with two things:
• what people THINK about it
• what the truth really is

"Critiquing AI for writing is classism because not everyone can afford other readers" is such a galaxy brained argument, I cannot move past it.

Isn't the whole point of NaNo to create communities of practice? By that logic, people are using AI for writing because y'all failed.

[Charlie #NoAI @adeptadaptor.bsky.social @AdeptAdaptor]

I'm sick of seeing crap like "no turning back now", "the genie is out of the bottle" and "adapt or get left behind/die" in regards to AI. The people who say this are predatory a-holes attempting to use fear to coerce you to partake in their BUSINESS venture. It's all about money.

Fellas is it classist and ableist to expect writers to write their own books

[Virginia Brasch @Virginia_Brasch]

I'm convinced any *thing* (org, event, etc) that gets too big for its britches turns into garbage

Exhibit A

[Cerys @cerysjones]

@TravisBaldree Sure, but good luck finding a month that doesn't have a holiday or major event for some section of society globally. I've been through this conversation with three different groups so far, and I think the 'best' month we found was October. But that's also half term here, so.....

[Nick Buy My Book Mamatas 🤼‍♂️🏴🧭 @NMamatas]

To be utterly fair, there was NEVER a reason for NaNoWriMo to be built up into an NGO with moderators and sponsors and people making decisions. It's just an idea, like democracy or No Nut November.

[Carla Pyne @carlapyne]

I swear, if this gets scrapped, I’m going to flip a fucking table. Why does every government seem to despise single people? We already pay more council tax than someone who is cohabiting, just let us fucking breathe

[Arumi Velociraptor | sudo -99 dex @Arumi_kai]

Ah yeah, can't forget the leaked #NaNoWriMo "how do we extract money from people living below the poverty line" document 💀

Honestly at this point I think the whole organization needs needs to go.
