Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question:
Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends.
Make. Friends.

Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.
They have come to the convention hoping to "break in" and then find themselves -- shocker! -- a "nobody in the book world." Yeah no shit! We all are! I have gently told guys like this a million times that it takes most of us *years* of hard work but they do not believe that could be true for them. +

Thanks to @coffeeeeee.bsky.social for this perfect essay about It’s a Wonderful Life. “It’s a Wonderful Life is, in part, the story of someone becoming, kicking and screaming, against all intentions and desires, a big man. Mary sees the big man in George from the first, because she is a big woman.”
There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
George’s vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its true—and profound—meaning.

There’s a saying in French (Québécois specifically): il vente à écorner les bœufs.
The closest English equivalent would be “it’s blowing up a storm”.
The literal translation is “it’s so windy the horns off bulls are getting blown away”. (Literal, eek.)
Anyway. It’s real fucking windy out there.

I’m looking for 100% Filipino people who are willing to submit a cheek swab test in hopes for a genetic match to my aunt, who is battling blood cancer. The registry for stem cells doesn’t have many Filipino people in it, and joining it could help many. Please share/reach out to me!

Dear cat toy gods,
please understand that my cats are absolutely destroyers of worlds & also have less sense than a gnat on crack. They will eat the tail off toys, they will pry out the plastic eyes and eat those too, and - can I just have a vaguely cigar-shaped catnip filled furball pls?
Ty,

Water got under the second skin so off it went tonight.
Of course, now I have some sticky residue to deal with as a bonus to the itchiness. T_T
