- Emery Lee ("Meet Cute Diary")

- Nahoko Uehashi ("Moribito")
- Sayo Yamamoto ("Michiko & Hatchin"; "Yuri!!! On Ice")
- Mari Okada ("Ano Hana: The Flower we Saw That Day"; "Toradora!")
Game designers/programmers:
(Upon review I was pretty remiss in skipping over a few of these people, some of whom I wasn't aware of but most of whom I just didn't remember when writing my short list. Subconscious misogyny in action. Short & Thorson probably would have squeezed out some of the YA authors I included, although I have no real regrets.)
- Junko Kawano ("Suikoden")
- Elizabeth LaPensée ("When Rivers Were Trails")
- Momo Pixel ("Hair Nah")
- Zoë Quinn ("Depression Quest"; narrative designer on "Solar Ash")
- Kellee Santiago ("Cloud"; "Flower")
- Tanya X. Short ("Moon Hunters")
- Kim Swift ("Portal")
- Maddy Thorson ("Celeste")
- Andi McClure @… ("Jumpman")
Note: I haven't included composers or artists here, but there's a deep bench.
Games journalists/steamers:
- Tanya DePass @… (#/INeedDiverseGames; twitch streams)
- Anita Sarkeesian (Feminist Frequency)
Game/play scholars:
- Mary Flanagan ("Critical Play")
- Tracy Fullerton ("Game Design Workshop")
- Brenda Laurel ("Toward the Design of a Computer-Based Interactive Fantasy System")
- Janet Murray ("Hamlet on the Holodeck"l
- Susana Tosca ("A Pragmatics of Links")
- Jichen Zhu ("Agency Play: Dimensions of Agency for Interactive Narrative Design")
- Magy Seif El Nasr ("Design patterns to guide player movement in 3D games")
- Kate Compton ("Causal Creators"; also "Spore")
P.S. upon consideration I've decided not to include any authors who are men in this coda.
There are definitely others who probably deserve to be here that I'm forgetting...

📝How a 10’ coding session with copilot 🧑🏻‍💻 added tags to 10 years of blogging #hugo

Add tags automatically to this blog · Technical inconsistencies blog
When starting this blog, I didn’t think about adding tags. As time passed, I wondered about adding them, but back-filling them was a chore. But with LLMs, this can be done relatively quickly and easily: Pass the LLM some text, and it will happily tell you which tags you might use. And, while you’re at it, it can create the script to call the LLM on all the posts and the code to visualize tags (which were previously hidden).

Ah, good thing Ireland didn’t bet a major chunk of its economy on US Big Tech creating jobs or anything.

I just noticed: after starting my little link "blog" or collection back on June 1st, as of today it has now grown to 150 links! 🔗
My reason for starting it was two-fold: I thought some folks could be interested in following along with what I read (that's why you can also subscribe via #rss). But, it's also a really useful archive for myself!

I’ve fallen in love with the Japanese literary form, zuihitsu.
Zuihitsu, meaning “following the brush,” flow as the mind flows. They are fragmentary—mixing moments of observation, opinion, anecdote, asides, and humor. From the contemporary point of view zuihitsu refuse categorization, vibrating in the live space between prose and poetry.

Ways of Seeing: Following the Brush - Zuihitsu as Attention
Zuihitsu, a Japanese literary genre between prose and poetry, is a unique form of attention. Sei Shonagōn and Kimiko Hahn inspire exercises in looking.

Abendessen gestern mit einem Flensburger Winterbock. Ich wiederhole mich: das Bockbier hier im Norden ist angenehm viel weniger süß (und auch weniger dunkel) als das Bockbier in Bayern. Prost! #abenteuerbier #biervielfalt
