He's not banned? "We know he's a harasser, but we feel like not honoring him as a GoH but still providing him with a hunting ground is enough." (Thread)
On the other hand, at least Luke Gygax is being honest about why he wouldn't listen to women about a harasser until now. "He was a friend of my dad's" and "he is Old Guard." For once a man in TTRPGs is honest about his desire to keep it an old boys' club. 9_9
So, when are y'all going to start listening to us BEFORE public outcry makes it too much trouble to continue to ignore us?

Incidentally, tech companies? You're in a position to nab extraordinarily talented people with all these game company layoffs--people with both tech skills and agility and vision go into games for love, and are forged in a bloody crucible.
I've worked with super-smart non-game tech people, and a lot of them have been amazing, but most of them haven't been forced to be amazing in the same way game industry workers have. (Yes, this is a generalization, I am aware.)
And most game devs don't WANT to go into non-game tech. They love the creative aspects of games and are willing to suffer to keep that. BUT.

And because the people working on them can't say it: when you play those Living World episodes, take a moment to appreciate that they were being done with a spiraling resource crunch, which was more brutal for each episode.
They represent not just intense hard labor, but *cleverness* in figuring out how to do more and more epic scope with fewer and fewer people.
If you're a game company, a tech company, or a marketing company, you should BE so lucky as to have that sort of creative, scrappy resourcefulness, vision, and ability to roll with the punches on your team. Hire them, and treat them better than ArenaNet did.

Unfortunate, but unfortunately not surprising. kotaku.com/guild-wars-2-d…
The article doesn't go into detail, because I doubt they're interested in releasing details to the public, but it does mention canceled projects. Anet had two major projects in the works when I was there. One was indefinitely suspended while I was still there.
For those of us working on GW2, our mandate was essentially to make it look like there was the same level of resources devoted to GW2, when they were actually steadily moving people off of it onto the other projects.

I saw a lot of you talking about this on the TL yesterday. Will be doing a #thread shortly on the psychological aspects of 'Stress interviews'
The first thing that came to mind when I read this were the two interviews I've given for my PhD. Both times I came out feeling completely undeserving of doing one, and I cleared both.
Both panels had nothing good to say about the proposal I had submitted and no one acknowledged that I had worked five years in the field, doing a six day, 70 hour week for most part and still managed to turn in an application and clear an entrance exam

#Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what would you like to see in order for women's career progression in your field to be sustained and better supported?'

Responses incl. career flexibility, mentoring and more women in leadership roles #WomeninSTEM
1. "I think young female engineers need to see more female role models and mentors in my field. Having a visible example of someone that looks like you and is succeeding in their field is important. Having an opportunity to meet with a mentor like that can be very powerful."
2. "I would like to see that any career promotion is based on own merits and value added to the company or the society independently of the gender. I want that women are measured with the same rules as men and are given equal opportunities."

2nd #Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what do you currently see as being the major obstacle to women entering your field?'

Responses incl gender career stereotypes from an early age, lack of self-esteem and lack of female role models #WomeninSTEM
1. "I think that there is not enough awareness of female role-models in my field. There need to be more initiatives that allow young women to connect with female role-models so that they can be inspired and motivated to follow in their footsteps."
2. "Discouragement from teachers in high school to pursue a STEM career and an unwelcoming atmosphere in technical universities."

*THREAD* for the first time in ~10 months I read my sister’s story, in her words, of what happened in Las Vegas 10/1/17. I still can’t read it without breaking down but this election is too important to not share her experience. @shannonrwatts @MomsDemand @Everytown 1/
@Jason_Aldean they were so thrilled to see you that night. 2/
Like everyone there, they didn’t know if they’d live or die. 3/

Today is the debate between Georgia governor candidates @staceyabrams & her opponent, who is currently GA's Secretary of State. I'm sure you've seen that there are active attempts to suppress votes. Lawsuits have been filed. But as if that wasn't enough... (#thread) #TeamAbrams
A month ago, white supremacists threaten violence at a Stacey Abrams campaign event. Where was the media outrage? It was largely non-existent. Do you even remember hearing about this? Ask yourself why not. #TeamAbrams dailykos.com/stories/2018/9…
After national outlets finally began picking up the story, local outlets started providing weak explanations. The @ajc (Atlanta's major paper) “both sided” the incident by comparing white supremacists to Democratic socialists. Because, you know, dog whistle. #TeamAbrams

On 2/26/18, @mayflower_gal & I approached our school administration with a proposal, calling for our school to participate in a walkout; asking students to stand up and help speak out against gun violence. We were not alone; 6 other students also made a plan to walkout.
Admin met with all of us. Our original plans, while in need of further work, accounted for the variety of perspectives and opinions existing in our community while still emphasizing the point of the national movement #Enough.
During a series of meetings with admin, however, the students who were the most passionate were pushed to the side while the representatives of student council took control and twisted the original intent of our plan.
