Finally did it and got a full EV. The 2026 Nissan Leaf seems like everything I wanted and it's now in my driveway.
This with our second car of Honda Clarity means we should almost never need gas again.

Okay, here's the promised follow-up with more authors I respect who didn't make it onto this list. I won't do deep dives but I'll list at least one work per author:

- Emery Lee ("Meet Cute Diary")
- Robin Benway ("Far from the Tree")
- Angela Velez ("Lulu and Milagro's Search for Clarity")
Children's book authors:
- Jacqueline Davies ("Bubbles Up")
- Freya Hartas ("Slow Down in the Park")
Novelists:
- Rimma Onoseta ("How You Grow Wings")
Graphic novelists:

- 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...

Grounded Urgency: Activism, Grief, and the Practice of Sustainable Love
This essay reimagines activism as an act of love, not obligation. When urgency becomes panic, we lose clarity; when grief is honored, it becomes fuel for compassion. Grounded in love and trust, sustainable leadership begins with tending what’s ours to do.

Executives don’t want to just sell juice. They want to empower you with an agentic, customizable, and seamless juice experience.
But no one has stopped to think about what any of that actually means. Before designing a "solution," you need a good, *shared* problem definition. If the beautiful clarity within the design team shatters on contact with any handoff, you didn't finish the job.

Executive presence is not about how you stand or what you wear.
It comes from four qualities you build from the inside out: care, clarity, curiosity, and courage.
The leaders who inspire others stop performing and start living these qualities.
What would change if you focused on these instead of trying to project confidence?

What if real executive presence wasn't about how you look or sound?
The leaders who inspire us aren't following scripts. They're living four qualities:
Care - paying real attention
Clarity - seeing what matters
Curiosity - asking deeper questions
Courage - facing hard truths

Most advice about executive presence gets it wrong. Discover how care, clarity, curiosity, and courage—not performance—create authentic, magnetic leadership.

Few people would claim with absolute certainty to know how the pandemic began. Both sides are gathering evidence to support their case, yet neither can fully rule out the possibility put forward by the other. This lack of clarity is not unlike what we see with most emerging diseases. For instance, we still don’t know how the devastating Ebola outbreak in west Africa began in 2014.

Research shows science and politics writing keeps getting harder to read. Many articles now require college-level (undergraduate) education or more to follow.

- people who hate negotiation and think it makes them "selfish"
