won't you celebrate with me
Lucille Clifton, 1936 - 2010

won't you celebrate with me 
what i have shaped into 
a kind of life? i had no model. 
born in babylon 
both nonwhite and woman 
what did i see to be except myself? 
i made it up 
here on this bridge between 
starshine and clay,
my one hand holding tight 
my other hand; come celebrate 
with me that everyday
something has tried to kill me 
and has failed.

you mean the soundtrack that casually housed PJ Harvey, Massive Attack, The Flaming Lips, and NICK CAVE on one CD? The EPIC SOUNDTRACK that introduced a generation of pre-Limewire teenagers to Sunny Day Real Estate and The Offspring? THAT SOUNDTRACK?

in lieu of "that sounds difficult," the beleaguered will be accepting compliments about their great capacity for poetic despair

We at United Videogame Workers-CWA condemn the studio closure of Cliffhanger Games by Electronic Arts. 

In an industry that generated over $450 billion and padded EA CEO Andrew Wilson's pockets to the tune of $25.6 million in total compensation in the year 2024, workers should not have to be subjected to this dehumanizing treatment. 

These hardworking families and industry veterans must now scramble to find new work during a time of increasing economic volatility, while the game that they worked hard on will never see the light of day. 

And for what purpose? For EA to be able to write off the cost of the studio and game production as a "business loss" on their taxes and make their stock prices go up. Making this disastrous decision following EA's previously announced RTO policies and commitment to DEI is an insult to injury to those already trying to stay afloat in the industry, particularly to the disabled, those with families, and Black and brown game workers. 

We as workers and the players who stand with us in solidarity deserve better and demand better.

also, y'know, nightly bed check for spiders, sleeping in a fetal position to protect my vital organs, making sure the stuffed animals could "breathe" so they wouldn't rise up and murder me... the usual

I got on a conference call first thing this morning with my boss and he asked me what my shirt said, so I had to explain that it was a cute dog sailor with the text TOTAL INFORMATION COLLAPSE & THE END OF ALL CONSENSUS REALITY, THE DAMAGE CANNOT BE UNDONE

Friction is also feedback. It’s how we learn to distinguish between right/wrong and good/bad in the first place. Removing friction removes an important mechanism for learning and refining.
