It’s not remarkable that all these events occurred.

It’s remarkable they all occurred in the same year, with the as the fastest method of communication.

I've seen a fair amount of anecdotal theories that sensory sensitivities get worse with age; however I'm curious as to whether that may be caused by many older autistic people experiencing which also makes sensory stuff worse...

@AutieScot anecdotal but mine definitely get worse when I'm in burnout - they are incredibly bad right now.

My first eReader was a Kobo, so it makes sense that my return to recreational reading starts with another Kobo.

Gotta say, the Clara 2E is really, really, really nice.

Guess I gotta start looking into... ? This the hashtag y'all are at?

@Judeet88 This thought might help you and me (https://lethallava.land/notes/9gp5hypoklkeflav; https://merveilles.town/@akkartik/105737744499263260) feel good about ourselves, but we still suffer some harm by being part of a society that grew dependent on Youtube. Might not seem fair, but there's a problem here and it impacts us.

As a new public librarian, I keep encountering books (Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh or T. Kingfisher's Minor Mage) that read like YA. They have YA characters, are written at a YA level, are targeted to YA audiences.

And yet they are not YA books. In an almost similar vein, I think I grasp that the Romance genre has clear definitions that require more than just romantic or spicy content, but the taxonomic complexities of YA literature elude me. Can someone point me to resources?

@nnschiller @bookstodon I honestly don’t know if YA is anything other than a marketing label nowadays. Aside: i loved Some Desperate Glory.

It doesn't look like Star Trek: the Motion Picture is on Paramount+, so I will be continuing my DISCO rewatch tonight.

Because I'm an editor, and because I'm curious...

Players: How does the writing in a videogame affect your overall enjoyment? Has anything ever made you quit a game - unclear wording, poor translation/localisation, inconsistencies, typos?

(1/3)

Chozo ,

@PiecesOfKate The writing can absolutely make or break a game for me. For instance, I despise Bungie's monetization practices with the last few expansions of Destiny 2, however I keep giving them my money in spite of that, because I love the writing of the game and I'm invested in that story.

On the flip side, I love the tactics-style gameplay of Fire Emblem, but didn't even make it to the time-skip in Three Houses because all the character dialogue was so terrible that I couldn't stand playing it any further and never got to experience the full game.

You should be concerned about the Center for Open Science partnering with Meta

https://www.cos.io/about/news/meta-partners-with-cos-to-share-data-to-study-well-being-topics

Meta doesn't care for , research integrity, user safety or human rights even. It is naïve to think that the COS is going to do anything other than PR laundering for Meta.
