This is important to think about, it is the thin end of the wedge. I can see it slowly bleeding over to other creative fields as well, why get a designer to do the cover art for novels? When the publisher can save money elsewhere, the small things will inevitably snow ball
Gamers. You guys realize if you guys are ok with AI placeholders in a game, I would be pressured by higher ups to use it too?

There's a lot of artists who don't want this in their creative process.

Higher ups just got ammo to use against us.

I understand that the final product won't have it if they're diligent, and it's not entirely indicative of the game devs' capability to make something great.

But in this difficult time, can you put the 'game' aside for now? I ask for solidarity, and for us to make games properly.

Writers will describe the most horrific events and things you've ever heard then go: "it was a lot of fun to write."

One thing I do find about writing streams; is that amazingly, the perception that I need to be seen to be productive on my writing, forces me to engage with getting on with it rather than just staring at the page.
I am prone to write on stream; so do you wanna hear me ramble on about my current project and procrastinate for the better half of the evening; tune in

An important lesson as a writer, that I try to keep in mind, is that no idea is purely original, it is all about our execution of the idea and what we bring to the table as an individual. - We are the sum of all the art we have engaged with and our own life experiences,

I always loved the dichotomy between the whimsy that Miyazaki was capable of and how he was able to use animation in order to tell deeply emotional and moving stories about war and humanity. Like the depths of what that man could convey via anime
Since Ghibli inspiration is in the news, let's share what we found in Miyazaki's stories that inspired us. Inject some positivity

For me, that core belief that no one is good or evil inherently. We act, and those actions have results both good & bad. How we handle those is the test of our humanity

Move to the informed consent now; the current system is obviously broken and struggling to maintain itself.
How do we solve these mega waiting lists for the gender clinics???

Just dont do the gender clinics and just have GPs prescribe hormones and refer for surgeries

Gender clinics exist to soothe scared cis people not to help trans people transition

I have a theory regarding masculinity and pegging; which is that a lot of men have too many hangups about being pegged because it is "Gay" or "unmasculine" - but I do think, if men at least gave it a try, to see if they do enjoy it, doesn't matter if they don't. We would have a better society

A few of my good friends at Uni studied under the Erasmus, and none of them were posh. The whole Erasmus is an elitist programme is a myth, designed to undermine it; because one thing I learned studying abroad for my masters, is you get exposed to the world so much more by studying abroad
I wish the Brexit dinosaurs would stop this "Erasmus is for posh kids" crap. Half the young population goes to university, these days, in UK and most of EU. And most of the half that doesn't is also eligible for Erasmus+, which covers schools, further education, adult learners and in-work training.

Haha; I think I am cooking, I spent some time deliberating over an insectoid alien princess for my newest project. And I was like, what if, her body was like it was designed by HR Giger, and I was like, this is perfect.

Shopping local / small / indie, making art, sharing stories, supporting mutual aid, lifting each other's voices... All of these are acts of protest. All of these matter so much, especially in a time where corporations and billionaires attempt to control more and more of what we do.

Again: deliberately misgendering someone and then refusing to apologise for it because you are having an argument about something else is transphobic.

Allyship is defined by your actions, and if you turn to transphobia because you don't like the other person you're not an ally.

The headline from the Times on this; is highly perverse and so fucked up. It should be considered journalistic malpractice along with the entire article, it is built around presenting a completely false narrative that is not grounded in facts, and just hate against trans people and their health.
You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.

This is a super important thing in general; reviews are so critical to boosting + bringing back relevance to older works of theirs as well.

Reviews.

Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.)

Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!
