More and more links, less and less bandwidth. Most of that is because I'm
|
||
|
|
writing in earnest about other things again, and that feels really good! The
|
||
|
|
downside is that I just can't bring myself to write a thousand words about some
|
||
|
|
thousand-word article I found anymore. I do still find all of this stuff
|
||
|
|
interesting, though, so I'll pass it on.

### Games
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a category that I fear will never be empty! Hooray! Go games!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You really did it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For serious, though, there's been a steady stream of news coming in on the
|
||
|
|
gaming front with regards to gender and sexuality, and I am happy to say that
|
||
|
|
the tide is turning toward the positive, however slowly. I only started really
|
||
|
|
reading about this sort of stuff maybe a year ago and I still don't really play
|
||
|
|
any games, but still, I like to watch!

### SFWA
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The SFWA recently went through a kerfuffle regarding their newsletter featuring
|
||
|
|
a boys-club-esque article written by a couple of old white dudes. It's worth
|
||
|
|
collecting a few links if only for the first, which brings up good points that
|
||
|
|
stand even outside of the subculture of SF/F writers.
