Keep awareness of this, y’all. And never forget, the most marginalized of us feel the pain before anyone else does.

hey so how does pax have money to run a whole new convention but not enough money to staff the intersection lounge (this is of course a rhetorical question to which the answer is that they appear to not give a shit about safety for poc and accessibility)

Amplifying this as loudly as I can. @officialpax.bsky.social @penny-arcade.com please do the right thing and properly staff the Intersection program. The PAX Together Fellowship has been stagnant for nearly 3 years. Is your care for marginalized people limited to when it is fashionable to be allies?

Absolutely blown away by this cast, my fellow producers, and the donors who helped us raise over $2800 to help fight for immigrants' rights. We do good work at Game Master Monday. No human being is illegal. Fuck ICE.

Reminder that actual machine learning is not the same thing as gen AI slop. Hell, I've even seen procedural generation (something that games have used for years) now get called AI. These tech bros ruined the term AI for their fad.

So after openly deadnaming all our trans folks last week, leadership apologized, but then did not update employee's names for the vote today. This means our trans employees are being forced to openly deadname themselves in order to vote in today's union election. This is deeply fucked.

Posted this over on Instagram, thought I’d post it here too. I hope UKGE see this and hear us.

It’s undeniable I had a great time, but I’m including this last graphic, and imploring UKGE to take the discontent around AI ‘creators’ more seriously.

As an attendee AND an exhibitor, I am SO disappointed that there is still no official stance or implemented anti-AI policy when other cons, big and small, have them. I still found exhibitors that used AI in their products, and that stand space could have gone to genuine creators that enrich this community with their creativity.

I hope that the existence of two panels discussing the topic of how damaging AI can be (which notably were on at the same time...), and the popular ‘Human Made’ signs that so many exhibits displayed proudly are noted as a sign of just how many people do NOT want AI at this con.

Con-goers asked us about our stance on AI before purchasing.

Listen to your traders.
Listen to your attendees.

This matters.

Here’s why an outright ban is the answer. It’s not about the people who will evade it, it’s about taking a stand against genAI. The more platforms who ban it & follow through with punishment, the less people will want to risk sneaking it in. Cut supply channels, and genAI will become less worth it.
