Women are usually the ones who have dependents in their care, the ones who suffer harassment in the office, the ones who benefit most from remote work.
Companies love to brag about how inclusive they are but they haven't stopped for a single second to think about these issues.
It's a boys club.

Weird to know a few different friends going for the same senior narrative role and to watch the (very qualified) women be filtered out in the first round by in-office requirements. Knowing how doable remote narrative teams are, it’s hard to believe it’s not intentional.

In July's Truly Important newsletter, I profile nonfiction and video game writer @machanotmatcha.bsky.social. She talks about these two very different types of writing and shares an Op-Ed on artists' responsibility to resist collective amnesia about COVID. trulyimportant.substack.com/p/me-myself-...

I wrote about how artists have a duty of care to reflect the traumas & changes of their time. The pandemic's unprocessed, collective grief of global proportions is a breeding ground for fascist rhetoric and scientific revisionism. Yet its representations are scarce.

As a writer who lived with Long Covid for two years, today more than ever, I think it is essential for artists to acknowledge and challenge a pandemic-shaped cultural vacuum.
