* Like clockwork, as soon as I got the N95s for double masking, White Eagle dropped the requirement. Single are still needed and I might use the N95s just so I can change them if needed. I often carry one or two extra cloth ones because... Portland can be wet. Also, it's a tiny old venue and that sort of mask might help reduce my risk.
* I am slowly forcing my brain back into writing mode. I've scripted some GW2 comics that I am going to try to draw...? I never got my Phas stuff good enough to post, but these might be simpler? We'll see. Also, I shouldn't worry about posting *right now*. If I iterate on it a few times I can just post when done.
* Tom Scott literally put out a video that is story ideas he doesn't want to write, but if someone else does they need to option him for the ideas? (It's okay if you want to make a non-commercial project, but if anyone does something commercial he 'isn't going to leave that money on the table') Tom, my dude, what the hell? He does 14 ideas in under six minutes, some are a sentence or two. They aren't even full pitches. Why would I watch this video? Like, having watched the video would open up anyone who is serious at all about writing to legal liability. I'm influenced enough by his takes on new media that if I write Science Fiction that elements of his thinking would be there and I might come up with something similar to one of this Plot Bunnies(do not steal). Though the only new media fiction thing I am working on is about a Twitch auto-mod bot falling for a give-away farmer... so maybe not?
He's probably just trying to head off really out there scenarios like someone feeling they can use his name and be all 'based on Tom Scott', but seriously... his statement feeds some wrong ways of thinking about things.
* Anyway time for less rambling, more writing. I signed up for a bunch of writing check in comms, but that way time zones work I always seen the check ins well before I'd had time to write. I should just pretend that they all say 'yesterday' instead of today or something
