Someone wrote an article a while ago about how MeToo was going to leave us with no great artists, writers, etc - does anyone remember this? Trying desperately to recall what it was/who wrote it
I think it was centered around Charlie Rose...?
I think this was it (or at least one of the several, ugh), thanks all!

Trying to figure out what it means that I don’t relate to the Caroline Calloway piece at all. Have I missed out on some kind of toxic friendship rite of passage?!
Thought this writing was terrific - so not a slam at all. Just baffled by how many people had “a Caroline”
My best friends in my 20s were two roommates that I met on Craigslist and they’re v kind and we all still love each other - thank goodness for basic friendships

I'm glad I'm not on Facebook anymore so I don't have to watch every quietly racist cousin share that two-babies-hugging video
A hundred dollars says one of them posted it with "all babies matter"
The Blaze TV (lol) on Instagram devoted a segment to my killjoy tweet so now all those racist cousins are all bitching me out under, like, pictures of pasta.

This is the wackiest shit I've seen in a long time
It's the art and "graphs" that really get me
Like, if your argument is that men are innately aggressive and violent perhaps it's not feminists who are the manhaters

#MeToo trigger warning. If you’ve followed me for awhile, then you’ve likely seen me talk about how a fellow agent sexually assaulted me in the academy and how this is common. Very common. Some have asked why I don’t get a #MeToo movement going for women who were in BP.
2) I have tried. I am not looking for justice after all these years. I cannot prove it. It’s been my hope to show other current and former agents that you can say the truth. It would be an unbelievably huge #MeToo moment. But no one will publish it.
3) I’ve allowed my spouse and my therapist to be interviewed and still media attorneys refuse to allow it to be published. I don’t even name him. For me personally, I am once again not believed. I am once again denied a voice.

You probably didn't know this from my tweets, but I am working to elect @SenGillibrand as our next president. I'd like to tell you why.

If I convince you she deserves a spot on the debate stage, please chip in $1 to make sure she can get there: secure.actblue.com/donate/teamkgc…
If you asked me to tell you in one tweet why @SenGillibrand is my #1 of many great candidates, it's this:

Nobody has fought harder for women, specifically and against all odds, than she has. For years. She will always, always have our back. And we desperately need someone to.
She single-handedly led the fight against sexual assault and harassment *years* before #MeToo caught fire. Anyone who calls her "opportunistic" should look into how many careers have advanced—much less survived—after championing survivors against powerful institutions. Good luck.

1) Midnight thread. Cognitive dissonance.
2) How did I become the way I am?

Someone wrote on reddit (paraphrasing) "@MonteJCook's Invisible Sun has a $99 PDF. That's ridiculous. No PDF is worth that much."

They're wrong. Let me tell you why you're not paying enough for your RPGs.

P.S. Sorry for picking on you, Monte.

#ttrpg #rpg #rpgwork #gamedesign
For starters, let's set aside "it's 80 different digital components" and arguments like that. One file or a dozen, $99 is still a reasonable price for a complete game system.
First, let's think about how we typically consume games. Unless it's the big one (cough dnd), it's a pretty safe bet that there is one copy of the rulebook per table.

Someone sees a neat system and says "hey, I'll pick this up, the group would love it" and they go from there.

Acting AG Whitakers hearing should be starting up again any minute now.
This is by far the dumbest hearing ever. AG Whitaker is only acting for a week and the Democrats are asking him by far the dumbest questions about who he talked to about his feelings about the SC investigation (the entire world, he wrote about it for CNN in an op-ed)
I THINK THEY KNEW DUMMY cnn.com/2017/08/06/opi…

I suppose we can safely say that now #TheFrighteners have been so successfully and publicly put on a certain sector their combined angst will spew a diarrhoea of spin & warp whilst trying to use THAT VERY THING to generate $£Es Some with automated AdTech software already bought.
2/ Some bought by gormless companies, by mistake, some in full knowledge or partial knowledge of what it could do. It will be interesting as time goes on to see who apparently DIDN'T CARE about the likely instigation of its more negative 'dark' capabilities looking to 'side-step'
3/ or even 'wrong-foot' Irish & EU regulation standards, & possibly law. This too is a kind of #climatechange & #ClimateAction in itself, a would be mammoth untouchable iceberg of 'dominion' & 'control' being melted out into an ocean of citizens' scrutiny & advancement for change
