I woke up to a call from my mom to turn on the tv. I tuned in just in time to watch the second impact. Surreal. Most of my classes that day were cancelled except for one: Neuropsych. Dr. Butt (his actual name, he was awesome) posited the value in not letting our lives stop in their tracks…

As a consultant & freelancer I try to be careful with public posts. But there has been a noticeable trend towards bigger companies backtracking on their efforts to repair, mitigate & prevent harms around racism, sexism & ableism in their lore, mechanics & games generally. It sucks.
