I'm doing this no matter what happens with SNAP. Food is a basic human right, and no one should have to worry about their next meal. Help me make a difference AND get a very queer romantasy about adventure with your found family 💜

No way am I gonna sit by quietly while people starve.

I grew up unhoused more often than not. I went hungry a lot, and when we did have food, it was thanks to programs like SNAP and foodbanks. I know what it is to be hungry, and I know how that trauma sticks your entire life.

Let's try to help.

Below that in green text: “how you and I can help each other aid our local communities during the upcoming SNAP crisis”. A large green arrow points to the right.

Even on projects that don’t feature AI, it’s often difficult to justify how little voice actors get paid for work on projects that sell in the millions

So it’s fascinating to see folks say “they were compensated fairly” repeatedly on this occasion where we don’t even have the voice actors credited.

The argument I'm hearing about it is "the voice actors got paid for it so it's all good"

We don't know how much they got paid, or if they get royalties every time those lines get used.

It's a slippery slope being brushed off because "game good"

if Arc Raiders had plagiarized art, would it matter?

anyway don't forget i have a book coming out in december! if you like silent hill (esp the older games) and sorry we're closed, you might like BE NOT AFRAID, my fast-paced horror novella feat. some very deadly angels.

itchio: earlronove.itch.io/benotafraid
amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B0FLYH2ZSS
An ad for Be Not Afraid by S. Jean. To the right is the cover featuring Seth, an angel with pink wings, white hair, and bright eyes leaping across the cover in profile while pink smears the blue background and eyes stare at him. To the right of it is the description for the work in question, which is: "Deadbeat Trent Cain can't catch a break. Life's been one disaster after another, rent's always due, and he's always late. Even his band doesn't want anything to do with him anymore and playing the guitar was the one joy he had left in life. When he takes a shortcut home through the park at 3AM, he walks right into another disaster: five angels waiting to greet him. Unfortunately, despite their proclamations of be not afraid, they mean him harm. His only hope is another angel wielding a lead pipe, but there’s something familiar about this one..." Below it is a list of what you'll find in the work. They read: decaying seraphs, a deadbeat guitarist, a coy angel with a lead pipe, an otherworld parallel to ours, and blood & viscera everywhere. On the right side below the cover there is a call to action for preorders, the Dec 6th release date, and a URL where you can find a copy, which reads: books.earlronove.com/benotafraid

I could go on, but I'll end with this. Any soldier worth his salt should be anti-war, but I'm asking you "what are we fighting for?" The best thing you can do for disabled veterans is tell your reps and the president to stop making so many of us. /end

Veteran's day thread follows. When I was at the AF Academy, I was made to memorize this quote from Schwartzkopf: " “Any soldier worth his salt should be antiwar; and still there are things worth fighting for.” #veteransday #veteran #armisticeday 1/x

“whatever club he’s invited to join has been devalued by the invitation”
Tweet by Joyce Carol Oates: "wherever he goes, he wants to leave"--that's because when he gets there, he has brought his own self along; & whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation. QT of @avidreader1000 Wherever he goes, he wants to leave: SA, Canada, ultimately the U.S. in the long run, based on his behavior. This also includes Earth. A continuous disavowal of your home is odd, to say the least. He seems to have no c...

MAKE ME BETTER is my forthcoming novel about the horrors of community. It is about cults, wellness, control, and the things we will do to escape grief.

Sometimes it hurts to grow -- but your community believes that you can be made pure.

It comes out in May.

us.macmillan.com/books/978125...
The cover of MAKE ME BETTER features a feminine figure in the middle of a series of distorted concentric rings. The field is black, and the lettering, figure, and rings are all in bright hypercolor. Will Staehle is the artist who created this and I would die in battle for him
