Muting the Watchmen thread, because instead I want to talk about Cameo.

Not the artist, the service that lets you literally hire celebrities, YouTubers, Influencers, Vine Stars, Instagrammers, and stand up comedians to pretend to be your friend.
cameo.com
Has endless consumption of social media so utterly ruined your sense of the world that the thing you want most is for The Fat Jew to wish you a happy birthday? It's only $350!
Don't have $350? How about pay your second favourite YouTuber $10 to pretend to be your friend for 30 seconds so she can afford food and you can both descend ever deeper into a parasocial hell of capitalist incentives.
Lance Bass $150
Tom Felton $333
Perez Hilton $25.25
Kathy Griffin $499
Caitlyn Jenner $1000
K-Fed $50
I wonder if there's any filtration process or if I can set my own price, and then leverage "most expensive creator on Cameo" into other areas.
For real, this seems like a vector for all kinds of new and imaginative abuses

I haven't talked at all about Safe Haven, the precursor fic that Snowqueens Icedragon posted before Master of the Universe.
It's surreal, like 80s hack standup through the filter of late 00s gritty reboots.
Edward internally cusses like a 13 year old who just realized there's no actual consequences

So, I have yet to watch the extras on the Fifty Shades blurays. Time to watch them all back to back.
If you're wondering why I haven't, despite the depths of the rest of my research, it's because they all sound like crappy EPK garbage. "Oh, yeah, we're super happy to be working on this, uh, this, uh, project!"
First up: Tease of Fifty Shades Darker.

30 second teaser trailer that uses footage shot in Jamie Dornan's hotel room, and not footage from either movie.

So.

I'm re-watching Warcraft.

And I completely forgot that Durotan gets into a fist fight with old man warlock Gul'dan and they just punch each other for five minutes.
This movie is so weird. Everyone looks like college students wearing cosplay. It makes random changes to the lore without making it any more comprehensible. The only human PoC character is a cameo of one of WoW's earliest villains.
There's eight hundred named characters and a solid half of them only get name drops in their final scene, like someone will be walking out of a room and go "thank you for your assistance, Kargath Bladefist, named character from the Burning Crusade" and never be seen again.

Powered by #SideHustleWithAbbey
It’s no more doubt every business has gotta get online and maximize the traffic that exists on the internet, but the truth is...

Now, it’s not by merely putting your business on social media or
..having a fanpage, yes those are good BUT are not better let alone best.

So what are these strategies????

Simple! I’m going to make this very short and concise - straight to the point.

I’m going to be using example of one business I love the way the owner is pushing...

NIGERIA IS CHANGING...REALLY??! 🙄 | One of the reasons why I visit developed countries is that I'm fascinated by good. I am captivated by people who value beauty, knowledge and order for their own intrinsic worth. #Thread
Like Aristotle once argued, knowledge can be an end in itself and can provide joy in itself. Developed nations get that. Libraries are not wasted spaces. They exist to both delight and train minds. Museums, galleries and parks are not optional. People fight to preserve them.
When things break down in those countries, the default response is to repair them. Things work because they should work, not because there is always a financial reward. The people have embraced a value system that makes it so.

I want to talk about the editorial support you should expect from an agent who says they work editorially, &what you should not expect, too. (As always these are my opinions; others will think differently; you can take any opinion you encounter or burn it in a trash can.) #Thread
Most agent offer calls come with a discussion about editorial support and expectations on both sides. If an agent says they work editorially, both of you can talk about what you hope this will look like. This may include:
Rounds of overall revision to plot/character/structure/setting, or tightening to a genre guideline, based on an "edit letter."
Line edits/sidebar comments by your agent. I always stress these are suggestions to achieve a goal. How author arrives at that goal is up to to them, but

1) They maintain their power by pretending to be one of you.

It’s Friday, October 2, 2018.
2) Yes, #coffeetime :-)
3) The more I see of the rich and powerful, the more I understand their hands are soaked in blood.

Starting "Voices without Frontiers" #VoicesIWS
A program by @IWS_Network to promote awareness about the challenges & lessons learned by #Immigrant and #International #WomenInScience

I was born & raised in Chicoral, Colombia. A tiny town in the middle of the Andes Cordillera.
I attended Nuestra Señora del Rosario school, located in Espinal, 15Km away from Chicoral. Due to the high heat by noon, all schools start really early back home. This meant, I had to wake up at 5am to attend school every morning since I was 4 years old. #VoicesIWS
I did well in math and science in elementary and high school, so I chose to study clinical microbiology. Although coming from a low-middle income family, I was able to attend university, thanks to my parents’ effort to prioritize education over other commodities. #VoicesIWS

Initiative means every party in a combat acts exactly as often as every other party. In reality, this isn't how fights work, from a schoolyard brawl that gets you sent to the principal to trench warfare. It's *fair* from a game perspective, but not realistic or cinematic.
Yeah, screw it. Let's thread this.

Fair makes sense in a tactical board game. But does it make sense for a tabletop RPG?
Many tabletop RPGs also come with a tactical board game that the designers throw in for free.

Crap, that sentence is so good I should have started the thread with it.
