<p>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.</p>
<h3 id="games">Games</h3>
<p>This is a category that I fear will never be empty! Hooray! Go games!</p>
<p>You really did it.</p>
<p>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!</p>

<p>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.</p>
