- 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...

Het verlies van GL-PvdA lijkt voornamelijk veroorzaakt te worden door de winst van D66. Daarnaast is er per saldo weinig winst behaald door kiezers bij andere partijen weg te trekken.

Doku "Die Geschichte des Geldes" auf #arte. TLDW: Menschen erfinden Währung, geben zu viel davon aus, Währung wird zu selten/zu wenig wert, Menschen erfinden neue Währung. Repeat.
Leide eine der schlechteren Dokureihen.
Aber frappierend, wie viele Sprichworte/Sprachbilder direkt mit der Geschichte des Geldes zusammenhängen - von Krösus bis Goldstandard.

Die fabelhafte Geschichte des Geldes - Geschichte | ARTE
Die Prägung des ersten Münzgelds im 7. Jahrhundert v. Chr. im Königreich Lydien läutete eine faszinierende Entwicklung ein. Von der Kauri-Schnecke und den ersten Silbermünzen über Banknoten bis hin zum Bitcoin hat sich die Gestalt des Geldes fortwährend gewandelt. Geld diente Imperien, hat aber bisweilen auch ihren Niedergang beschleunigt – und mit dem Aufstieg der Kryptowährungen steht die Geldgeschichte erneut vor einem tiefgreifenden Wandel.
