The Leadership Crisis: Understanding the Challenges in Today's World

The Crisis of Leadership in Today’s World We are currently experiencing an unprecedented challenge in leadership across all sectors—be it in publicly traded corporations, nonprofit organizations, prestigious universities, or even local schools and classrooms. Many capable individuals who could take on leadership roles are now questioning, “Why would I even want to be a leader?” As I prepare to…

!! Happy 1 Year Anniversary !! 🎉

I love this series a lot (despite having a lot of issues with it on certain things but it's still good) I actually like how it turned out even if it's very simply loop

here's the still image :3

I just came to the realisation that now that OG Cale is in Kim Roksoo's body, Team Leader Kim Roksoo, on top of being tall, buff, and full of scars, has gained an insane amount of drip.

thank you all who watched JWCT SS2 on Premiere Day!!!

Now that it has been 24 hours, I will share the shot that my work friends kept making fun of me for (and still do) ...

presenting

my over-rendered mangoes (at least for storyboard standards lmao)

Anyway, thanks to our Eric Hawkins for accurately and beautifully matching my intended lighting for these fruit, Ryan Donoghue for matching the perfect tree sim and movement, and our Animation Team at CG CG, for taking this shot of fruit that really needed to be like one frame and no color and making them shine, lmao.

Anywho, enjoy season 2 everyone! The Crew continues to love to see everyone's thoughts :]

A Message from the NaNoWriMo Board of Directors

Dear NaNoWriMo Community Members,

Thank you for reaching out to us with your inquiries about the forums, your support, offers to volunteer, and your legitimate concerns.

Our inbox has been flooded, and we appreciate all of the thoughtful responses from participants and volunteers who genuinely care about NaNoWriMo, our fellow writers, and the community as we do. It is impossible to respond to each message individually, but we wanted to let you all know we are working with purpose and sincerity.

Please see below the breakdown of the work that has been done since we last shared an update with the community. Our intention is to keep you abreast of all we are doing to make NaNoWriMo a better, safer, place:

We’ve overseen a full-scale review of business practices led by former Board Member, Kilby Blades, who has stepped in to assist the organization on an interim basis.  

We’ve begun to implement new procedures around community safety, including:

Full revision and legal review of our employee handbook and codes of conduct.

Full revision and legal review of our Municipal Liaison(ML) agreement.

Development of a formal contract agreement for all (non-ML) Volunteers.

Development of a stricter vetting process for all volunteers (which includes identity verification and background checks, wherever necessary).

Licensing of a digital constituent management system that will enhance volunteer management capabilities.

Comprehensive background checks for all current employees.

Checks and balances to ensure that standards of conduct and ethics are adhered to (e.g., better leadership training, volunteer training, tech mechanisms, and active oversight).

We’ve made staffing changes and revised our staffing plan.

We have rescoped certain roles and initiated some staffing changes. (However, certain employees who left the organization voluntarily are in pursuit of their next opportunities.)

We believe that learning from this moment through addressing skill gaps in the organization is healthy and we will go through a hiring process to fill necessary gaps in open roles.

We’ve listened to other community feedback and are still in listening mode.

We’ve disabled the mechanism on the YWP website that allows users to self-identify as educators for the purpose of creating classrooms, and we are researching mechanisms that will allow us to verify adults as educators.

We’ve revised our technology roadmap to address usability issues and are hoping to introduce new features in 2024.

We are midway through a deep dive on forums and forum moderation; this has included benchmarking with other organizations with similar challenges.

In February, we will hold focus groups for continuing MLs. We are also thinking through the logistics of Town Hall meetings and other gatherings.

We’ve processed dozens of pages of community member feedback and are integrating it into our thinking.

With the staffing changes mentioned above, we are open to hearing from those of you who have reached out with offers to help and/or be a part of the organization’s future. Get notified about future job opportunities at NaNoWriMo.

We are excited about the future, and expect it to be brighter! We hope you feel seen and heard, and that you will stick with us as we continue supporting the writing community and our organization.

Kind regards,

NaNoWriMo Board of Directors

WEIRD GAMES GIFSET #2 (blue)

hello!! this is apart of my series "weird games gifset," where i showcase odd (or otherwise obscure, off-putting, lost media, or particularly fascinating) games!!!

i knew from the start i wanted to include viewfinder and jazzpunk, but i wasn't sure on the last one. but while searching for footage i was recommended a video essay about the stanley parable and i considered it an act of divine intervention for me to include it too

sorry that the colors aren't the most cohesive in this one, i tried my best :')

games featured: VIEWFINDER (2023), JAZZPUNK: DIRECTOR'S CUT (2014), THE STANLEY PARABLE (2013)

credit is preferred; link back to this post if you use my gifs!! feel free to @ me too, i'd love to see it what you make with my gifs

imagine if in season 3, Five tried to rewind to find out who killed Luther or try to save him but as his rewinds aren’t well practised so he can’t go too far, he rewinds to Sloane walking in as he’s stood near his brothers body, so his family thinks that he killed Luther.

imagine being director Northmoor of the FBC and one day you revel so much in your power that you literally explode. and instead of doing anything else about it, the FBC goes “when life gives a secret paranatural government agency lemons…” and throws your possibly-alive, moving corpse in a power plant so they don’t have to worry about their power bill. then going onwards, people only refer back to you using ominous light-based puns

I need you to know that there is a gucci shoe where the bottom of the sole is shaped like a snake- that is all

You came to the right person

Did anyone bawl their eyes out while working on the sequence where Brooklynn gets on the plane?

Me.

(And after me, Josh @kngstr who revised the scene. Although he might have been bawling because of all my boards he gotta fix. /jk /unless)

......but seriously, I had "Gun for Hire" from Arcane on repeat while I planned/boarded that scene to get the ✨vibes✨(that directly caused Guns for Hire to be my top song for Spotify wrapped that year lol), and then Josh mentioned referencing ATSV a lot and having the ATSV soundtrack on loop for that scene, so hopefully something emotional came across from those more or less. After that, the animation team, effects, music, and the lighting team (Magician Eric Hawkins) did their magic (that sunset!!) to bring us the final scene we're seeing, and it was even more glorious than I imagined 🥹
