To expand the Opinions & Truth (O&T) blog, I started The Weekend Game Show (WGS) to educate on and discuss different aspects of game development, and to show why video games can take years to make, to prevent another Cyberpunk 2077 launch scenario. Watch me on Twitch, YouTube, Rumble, and Odysee! To provide educational material and fun reads, I created a bookshop called the Rendezvous Point (RP)! Check it out here! In addition, I share educational quotes to promote literacy, the legitimacy of video games as an artistic medium, and regarding a Cause of the Month to raise awareness, while giving Artist Shout-Outs to human artists to combat AI's spit. Want to learn more about the Artist Shout-Outs? Click here! #createdontscrape The Artists Shout-Out posts can be seen on the here, Discord, and more! I'm also an artist under the handle TitansMonriArt. — Like what you see and want to know when there's more? Click here to subscribe for updates and/or hit the Follow button! Enjoy what I do?

Continue the Fight for Libraries!

Thousands of librarians, library supporters, users, vendors and citizens in every Congressional district in the country used the ALA Legislative Action Center and many other channels to insist that their Representative in the House sign two “Dear Appropriator” letters to the Appropriations Committee asking them to preserve funding this year for the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) and Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) program. One-third of the entire House of Representatives (from both parties) signed each of those Dear Appropriator letters and nearly 170 Members signed at least one — an 18% increase in support for IAL and a record-shattering 64% increase for LSTA. We still need your help:

Register for action alerts and timely District Dispatch blog posts with handy background information as soon as they are issued.
