Just a yearly reminder that you should never address someone by what you *think* is a familiar version of their name. Especially if you do not know them. Even more especially if you're changing the spelling of their name. Even MORE if every bit of their public-facing profile has their name on it...

A reminder for the folks that persist in saying 'You're being dramatic' and 'don't worry, THAT won't happen'.
It's happening. And you need to be interested because, make no mistake, it will come for you. And none of us will be left to fight alongside you.

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:
Our funding depends on usage.
So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

JKR is funding life-destroying legislation. When you license HP and put it on your product, the money you pay to do that is literally ruining lives. This isn't ambiguous, it is direct, measurable harm. I will never give a penny to a company who chooses money over the lives of my friends.

It's a deliberate decision, in a hobby that's founded on the idea that people should come together in a shared space, to craft a board game that says to the most vulnerable among us, "No, you don't belong here."

Gentle reminder:
Stop enabling men who throw tantrums, demean co-workers, posture aggressively, belabor every point that is not their own, and take over (and credit for) other folks' ideas with "well, it's his process, he's just being honest, he doesn't mean it personally, blah blah blah" 1/2
