I have five small pieces in the Enormous Tiny Art Show! They'll be dropping Tuesday, March 17. You can sign up for early access here: nahcotta.myflodesk.com/leslie-levings
Here's one of the pieces.
Hey #scicomm folks!
I am looking for a diverse crew to represent their fields with their head shot and a fun fact they like from their field of study, but SPECIFICALLY:
-a geologist/volcanist or gemologist
-a zoologist
-astronomer
-a paleontologist
-a structural engineer
Thank you so much to @publisherswkly.bsky.social for this phenomenal review of MAKE ME BETTER!
"Captivating characters and evocative prose... Readers are sure to be unsettled"
this looks wild and super fun π

I feel like this on so many genAI-related things. If you think genAI can do your job better than you then you either suck at your job or you have low respect for the work you do.
AND THEN DO THE SELF WORK.
NO, THE THERAPIST CANNOT DO IT FOR YOU.
soooo pretttyyyyyy πππ

Boy howdy
the absolute worst kind of med student
This should be titled βtraps for former gifted childrenβ
I often think about the guest speaker I sat through who was a professor of communications at a major university who told us that misinformation on the internet was so insignificant we shouldn't even worry about it. This was 2023.
I'm so, so sorry for your loss π
Absolute chaos in last night's game when the players enraged the philosopher construct made entirely of golden delicious. They proved that just because it thought it didn't really mean it existed. It really upset the apple Descartes.
The only thing it feels worthwhile for me to say right now is pay attention to whether your feelings & the information youβre absorbing are paralyzing you or prompting you to meaningful action, whatever that is. Paralysis helps no one but the enemy.
Art matters. And what do we do with things that matter? We protect them.
Here is information about H.R. 7661, a US book banning bill that explicitly targets books about trans people, and what you can do right now to help stop it.
Post by ο»Ώthree-blogs-in-a-trenchcoat I love how Leverage went Here's the cat burglar. She wears comfy clothes and has zero social skills. She has sex appeal but only if you're into a very specific type of woman, and crucially she has zero idea she has it. She probably doesn't know what an innuendo is. Here's the hacker. He's a Black nerd, and also the most moral character of the bunch. He's a nerd but also not socially awkward; in fact, he's the second best at grifting, right after the person who's been doing it for decades. Here's the muscle. In his heart of hearts, he is a chef. He is tough and manly but he uses that to look out for the working class and children and everyone else the system leaves behind. He's feared by politicians and he reminds his friend to tip the delivery person. Here's the femme fatale. She's over forty years old, and she's the one seducing the mark. She's the heart of the team. Her calling is to be a director. She loves attending her own funeral. Here's the mastermind. He's the only one who doesn't start out as a career criminal. He manipulates his own crew, kills two people after promising them he won't, and takes deals behind their back. He was in seminary school. Also, here's their nemesis. He's Mark Sheppard.
Man, Leverage was something else.
the funny thing is that because this is a huge log scale graph, the alleged 0.2% more that's their "likely" scenario is basically indistinguishable from business as usual. the argument here is that AI will most likely do pretty much nothing, but it could also be god and/or the devil instead
I've seen your steam backlogs. Many of you should be hosting a Previous Fest.

swords, family, kissing, death
yessssss
We've hit over 12k in the last 24 hours, and I won't spend the next 30 days yelling about this game! We've made a beautiful game in an interesting and tactile format about keeping on when the world feels at the brink of existential collapse. I hope you will support us!
unfortunately evergreen

Not sure what this bodes but it bodes something
This is a gorgeous thread, particularly if you are of the confidence-game inclined.
this is a really good thread, and something we were discussing at dinner. my bet is that weβre going to need to see the rise of personal recommendations, networks where someoneβs taste / curation directs people to certain higher quality writing
