I liked it better when we didn’t talk.

“There are no female aliens in our game because we don’t know how to make a female version of this alien” You know that alien you just designed? That male alien? Give it a female voice actor and have characters refer to it as she. That’s it. That’s literally all you have to do 

Make her shorter if you must

Make her BIGGER if you aren’t a coward

La reine des neiges et quelques autres contes, Edmund Dulac

sometimes a theme recurs in your work without your permission. and sometimes it reaches a threshold where you're like. well now i think this is saying something about me against my will. don't know what though

yeah

btw you will miss this in 5 or 10 years. memory will smooth these circumstances down like a river stone, and you will find yourself longing for a shade of light or a moment of this particular innocence. you don't know about what happens next, and one day that will be the most alluring thing of all. don't leave it all for nostalgia. have a nice night now, whatever night it happens to be.

When someone you love offers a bid for connection, you say yes every time. When someone sends you an article, a video, a funny post, it’s a bid for connection. They are trying to connect with you. When someone shares details about their day, their life, their thoughts, or their feelings with you, that is a bid for connection. They want to connect with you on a deeper level. They are trying to pull you into their world. If you love them, you say yes every time. Yes, even if the article they send is not particularly interesting to you. Yes, even if it means listening to them ramble about a game you don’t care about and think is stupid. Yes yes yes. And let’s hope they always say yes to your bids, too.

In case you’re like me and forgot all about it, this week is Teacher Appreciation Week! If you have the means to do so, show your favorite teacher some love this week. 💟

{In general, any profession that boasts an ‘appreciation week’ is probably one that is overworked, underpaid and undervalued by society because it’s predominantly performed by women. Speaking as someone who has been a teacher before, they will be sure to receive very little of actual value from the people they work for this week, so any gesture from parents (or students!) will go a long way toward making sure they feel appreciated for the vital work they do.}
