Come chat with me about feminine computer creativity :) Did you make experimental hobbyist games? Did you mod the sims? Did you make Neopets fan sites? Are you Australian and over 18yo?
A participant recruitment flyer for a research project on feminine computer creativity. An image of a Sims house and a Neopets character are included on the poster.

The callout reads:
"I am looking to talk with people who used computers for hobbyist non- commercial feminine creativity relevant to games. All interpretations
of femininity are welcome. This project aims to learn more about feminine tech-competency and feminine game cultures that have
been overlooked in games histories."

As I was looking something up and bypassed the AI overview to go to a reputable site for the info I needed, it occurs to me that a significant cultural problem is prioritizing “efficiency” over accuracy — something that tremendously benefits the people in power who care little for truth.

GEN CON PEOPLE: If you get a party invite from "punch bowl", even if it's from an email address you know, DO NOT LOG IN to get more details. It's a phishing scam. I got one from "Green Ronin" and called them to check details and it's not real, but there are others floating around as well.

🧵Hey lovely people. Big announcement today. We're launching an indie writing con based in Nelson New Zealand and Online in September & October 2026. So many awesome events, including in-person and online Tiny Moments workshops. beautifulwords.net
Short description: You're looking at an image of a sun drenched beach at low tide with a table featuring a typewriter on it in the foreground. The words Beautiful Words, An Indie Writing Con Based in Sunny Nelson, New Zealand & Online, 1 September - 10 October 2026 are superimposed over the sand and sky above the typewriter and table. Longer description. The table's covered in a red and white check table cloth, hand sewn and if you zoomed in you'd see that I am an anarchist who does not care about snipping loose threads. There's a cup of black tea in a vintage blue and white china cup, the sort your nan might have owned, and some biscuits on the saucer under the cup. They're an anzac biscuit and a fairy biscuit, which is essentially sprinkles on icing on a sweet bikkie. The typewriter on the table is green and quite stylish. This is a typewriter you could take to a fancy dinner and it wouldn't be out of place. There's also a small white tea pot on the table, a shell and a small purple vase with a wayward bit of greenery sticking out of it. In front of the table is a stool with a retro black and white cushion on it. Why is this table at the beach? Ask the batty author who lugged it there a month ago in a beach wagon and they won't quite be able to tell you. But you can definitely picture that author munching on a biscuit or ten while taking this picture. The beach is sprawling, the sky a brilliant clear blue and there are mountains in the background because it is New Zealand and those suckers lurk everywhere. The writing superimposed over the top is in orange and blue. The overall vibe is an author who's sorted a writing con for the past three months and isn't quite sure what sane is anymore. Why else would they lug a typewriter, a tea set, a teapot and biscuits to the beach? Maybe they need another one of those biscuits. They're rather delicious. Especially the anzac ones.
