Every afternoon around 3:00 Max has like an existential crisis and gets sad:

Aunt has office door shut, Uncle has bedroom door shut, Sister is sleeping, Mother is working

Max has SO MUCH love and no one wants it

Does no one love Max? Image
I am reading him his Twitter comments. He seems to be perking up. Image
He likes having his Twitter comments read to him.

Here are 13 seconds of MAXlove(TM) for everyone who told him they loved him
I hope you can all feel the force of his headbutts through your screen

I agree that tech writing is probably the best analogue for developers, and I've been saying that TTRPG editing is technical editing for a decade now.

In 2009-ish at Microsoft I started at mid-$80k as a technical editor. (Not counting stock, bonuses, etc.)
A lot of people are under the mistaken impression that "editing" is fixing grammar/typos/etc. That is, copyediting.

But RPG editors do a lot more than that.

(Arguably development is actually a combo of game design and developmental editing, but it's a weird beast.)
RPG editors also check designers' math, do layout tasks like copyfitting, work with designers and developers when something in the text doesn't make sense, rewrite portions that are unclear, and do sensitivity reads and geopolitical risk assessment.

Never fucking fails: any time you talk about a harasser, an abusive boss, a toxic coworker, etc. a man will show up to try to shut down the conversation by claiming said person is a good person because they were nice to HIM.
Like oh boy do I have a rant building about the weaponization of the idea that there are “good people” and “bad people” to stifle discussion of bad *behavior.*
And even when that particular rhetorical move gets …sort of… addressed, it’s usually in terms of “abusive people groom allies just as they groom victims.”

And sure, that’s true, but it also misses the point and reduces people to one-dimensional villains.

Yeah, one sees this a LOT when Jews talk about Christian hegemony and the assumption that “true” Christianity is good, and the “I’m not Christian, but Christianity IS uniquely good” crowd is (obviously) white and (not as obviously) usually predominantly female.
White men who argue with this stuff tend to either be Christians or Christian atheists who get pretty openly white supremacist pretty fast (Christianity is less “primitive” than other belief systems, built civilization, etc.).
The white women who show up tend to get at the same thing using a lot “softer” language: *true* Christianity is about compassion, that’s not fair, why are you being hateful, etc.

For both, it’s like, if you’re not Christian why are you standing it this hard?

Let's talk about this because it's incredible and sure to get under-reported. 1/x
Union organizing has obviously been underway since before the most recent events: you don't go from zero-to-union-with-a-supermajority in a month. And I don't know how much any of the freelancers knew about internal unionization efforts.
But what the freelancers are doing, which is essentially striking without a union, does two very important things:

1) It preemptively signals to Paizo's management that they're going to have trouble finding scabs if the union does strike.

Well, I wasn't sold on Midnight Mass at first, but I just started Episode 7 and vampire Christians are running amok, searching their island for anyone who hasn't become a vampire and violently murdering and turning them into vampires

and yeah, this is barely a metaphor
"Just come to the service, Muslim Sheriff, just to be neighborly. Oh, you're not going to convert? Okay, take him out back and we'll eat him later."

I kinda want to ding this whole series for being too on-the-nose but
now the vampire-Christians are throwing molotov cocktails into the houses of people who haven't converted to force them to come out and hear the good news

also seems historically accurate

Comparing the Pharisees, a group *resisting* a violent colonizing European power, to slavers is a hell of a move.

Like, imagine claiming that members of a people who've literally gotten genocided and pogromed and otherwise massacred because of these sort of antisemitic tropes are "crying wolf" when we object to their use.

Heh, @WorstSamaritan's Law (that Christians called on antisemitism inevitably claim Jewish ancestry) in action.

I mean, the most common way you can have a great-uncle, but not a grandparent, who's Jewish is that they're your relative by marriage.
