About this project
ROM: Read Only Memories
Neo-SF, 2064.
You're a young journalist trying to hack it on your own in Neo-San Francisco. It's a tough city, but you're a tough nut. One day you receive a package containing a beta version of the latest ROM, an intelligent device that has replaced all personal mobile technology. With the ROM lay a mysterious note from a close friend, saying that he had to leave the country immediately. Weird.
In 2064, ROMs are as common as smartphones in 2014, but you've resisted getting one up to this point. You don't need fancy technology, and you don't care if you're old fashioned like that. But now that you have one, your life dramatically changes.
Your friend worked for Parallax, which is the leader in customer-side ROMs since 2045 and a company that you've been curious about for some time now.
As you progress through the story, you'll discover and solve dark mysteries surrounding your ROM and the L.I.P.S. OS it runs on, as well as one of the top producers of the machines, Parallax.
And remember, you will meet many different kinds of people during your journey through the feral San Francisco that has come to exist in 2064. It is up to you to decide who to trust, who to work with and who to challenge in this harrowing journey through Neo-SF.
We've designed the gameplay to provide a fun, fast paced mix of adventure and puzzle solving.
Note: Please keep in mind that text speed and sound effects will be changeable and dialog is quick-skippable.
Be prepared for situations in which you make tough choices as you dive deeper into your investigation of Parallax and its ROMs. The game story consists of a prologue and will have five main acts… that's LOTS of entertainment!
Gameplay consists of puzzle solving and dialogue choices that will open and close parts of the story. For example (spoiler alert!), when you're looking for a way into Parallax headquarters, you can choose to talk your way in, steal an ID card to sneak in, or convince a new acquaintance to help you hack through security.
Outside of the main plot, the game provides side quests and character arcs beyond the main investigation.
Our goal is to provide multiple paths and missed opportunities that will allow the game to be played multiple times as you explore the choices that you and your ROM make, and how they affect the world around you..
We plan to have a playable version of the game for you to experience at GaymerX2 in July 2014, and we're also offering a limited number of discounted badges to the convention, happening in (regular) San Francisco (July 11-13) as part of our reward levels!
We've worked with a bevy of musical artists including 2 Mello, Radiofred, Virt, Aethernaut and other amazing musicians, to come up with some really awesome music that matches the game's dystopian future - check out a few preview tracks from the game.
Neo-SF Nightlife
San Francisco Bodega
In Shadows
Follow My Trail of Fog
Future Strut
We've assembled a team of veteran video game industry folks that are passionate about making this game unforgettable. Our programmers and designers have worked on games that have actually shipped for companies like Zynga, Cerulean Games, and Puppy Punch Productions, our musicians already make kick ass music, and we as a team know what it takes to get things done.
We'll also work with many members of our community to make sure that each game character (queer or non-queer!) is unique and authentic. We started GaymerX as a community-based event, and through it we've made many friends who can help us shape realistic characters of every creed. Plus, we love audience feedback and will have hangouts for you to join in on!
We're passionate Kickstarter backers ourselves, and get really bothered when Kickstarter projects don't ship their product. As you may have seen with our last project, GaymerX, we deliver on time and take pride in our work! Of course, if something unfortunate does happen, we will provide insight and transparency into the whys and hows of fixing it.
Breaking News! Every dollar that you pledge will be doubled by Ouya, up to the first $62,064!
We're participating in OUYA's #FreeTheGames Fund, created by OUYA to support developers making new and creative console games. OUYA will match your pledge dollar-for-dollar up to your goal amount (and a max of $250,000), so help us get there and make a great game for everyone! To be eligible for this match, we commit that this game will be an OUYA exclusive for a period of time. To learn more about OUYA, go to www.OUYA.tv
- Read Only Memories will be available on PC, Mac, Steam and OUYA ON LAUNCH DAY.
- Read Only Memories will be available on iOS and Android devices six months after launch - with improvements specific to mobile.
If we hit our goal of $62,064, we have some really cool stretch goals that we're super excited to show you!
$82,064 - Linux port will be made and will be included with Mac & PC if you choose that option
$102,064 - Soundtrack OST available FREE to all backers over $20.
$122,064 - Art Book PDF available FREE to all backers over $20.
Thank you for supporting our game and reading this kickstarter! Please consider sharing with your friends! :D
Risks and challenges
Making games is a challenging endeavor and we've put considerable thought into mitigating potential risks. Our research shows that delays and unexpected costs hamper many game projects, and we've structured our project to avoid that mess.
We have a core team of passionate developers and designers that are dedicated to building this game. We're a small and lean team, and while we've gotten off to a great start we realize we'll need additional resources to make this game succeed. The core team will be supplemented by quality freelancers, ensuring a responsible and scalable production environment that is also extremely cost-effective and flexible.
We've decided to focus our skills on building out the game content and mechanics, and are using off-the-shelf technology solutions whenever possible. This means using the Unity engine which is a well-established technology platform for games. Unity provides independent developers, such as us, cutting-edge features while minimizing the technology risk.
Behind MidBoss Games, we have the experience of taking the GaymerX convention from a Kickstarter campaign (thanks to YOUR support!) to a reality. Over 2300 queer and straight gamers attended the 2-day convention in San Francisco at the Hotel Kabuki in August 2013. The convention was a huge success, and is coming back as GaymerX2 in July 2014! Putting together a convention and bringing an entire community together with extremely limited resources was an amazing experience, and you can bet that we'll kick ass again.
At the end of the day, we're a community-based organization and it's important for us to maintain clear and open communications with our community of supporters. We've set up reward levels that will help us engage with the audience, and will allow supporters to follow production progress through our social media channels.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
If you want to add a version of the game to your order, or you wish to gift a version of any kind (Ouya, iOS, Android, or PC/Mac), just add $5 to your order and then when we send out the survey indicate which version you want! :)
You say that you "commit that this game will be an OUYA exclusive for a period of time," and then two sentences later you say that game "will be available on PC, Mac, Linux & Steam (if we hit stretch goals) and Ouya ON LAUNCH DAY." So which is it?
That's the wording we had to put in the Kickstarter to be eligible for the Ouya #FreeTheFunds Bonus. Don't worry though, we checked and we're within the rules to release same day on Ouya, Mac and PC (and linux if we hit stretch goals). Yay!
I'd like a little more information on the protagonist - is the game played from a first, second or third person viewpoint? Is it more of a Monkey Island perspective, or something like Myst or Starship Titanic where you remain behind the screen?
The game is played from the first person - you are playing you. You can choose your name and your ROM will ask you your preferred gender pronoun. Since the dialog choices will be your choosing, we hope that we can include a wide enough variety of choices to allow for your character to line up with your values - you can choose if you want to try to be deceptive, aggressive, or flirt with characters.Your sexuality and gender identity are your own and don't really effect the gameplay - It's more about if you can convince other characters why they would want to help you or if they like you as a person.
The perspective of the game will be like myst/snatcher where the character is never explicitly seen, the point being that we want you to feel like you're actually in 2064 and going on this adventure, and the interactions that you have and choose to reveal and say to your ROM and the characters around you that make all the difference
Absolutely! We want our game to be as available and as easy to access as possible. We know that people may pirate our game, and we'd rather that the pay, but we'd rather not punish paying customers with DRM! :)

Heavy showers overnight stopped this morning leading to a sunny, but cold Saturday and in time for Pleasanton's annual Hometown Holiday parade and tree lighting ceremony to start on schedule at 5 p.m. today on Main Street.
The parade will be followed by the lighting of a holiday tree in front of the Museum on Main.
The Amador Valley High School marching band will lead the parade starting at the school's parking lot and continuing south to Old Bernal Avenue. The band will be followed by dozens of holiday inspired entries, including Pleasanton's own Balloon Platoon, members of the Pleasanton City Council riding in a horse-drawn carriage, Bay Area Ghostbusters, hundreds of Cub Scouts and Brownies, local car clubs and dog clubs.
Other musical entries will include the Foothill High School marching band, the Harvest Park Middle School's Cheer and Jazz Band, Young American Patriots Fife and Drum Corps, Powell's Irish Dancers, Grand Performing Arts, as well as other groups such as some Scouts and KKIQ that will have music with their floats.
Animal entries include goats from Terra Bella Family Farm, East Bay Regional Park District Volunteer Trail Safety Patrol, Baroque Horses of Northern California, Valley Humane Society, Saint Bernard Club of the Pacific Coast and Sugar and Papa Bear from the new Black Bear Diner.
Also in the parade will be the Empty Nesters, a new group of former Amador Valley High parents who say now that the kids are away, the parents can play.
Main Street will be closed to vehicular traffic starting at 4 p.m. tomorrow until the parade and tree lighting events are over.

"Our invitations were so perfect we just had to order the matching thank you cards. We didn't expect to start receiving gifts so soon before the wedding so we had to order the thank you cards in a rush and they came just in time!"
"I loved these cards. I ordered the matching invitations for wedding and everyone loved them. The quality is amamzing. As if you went to your local print shop and these custom made. The paper is thick and high end. Love these cards. I will definitely be ordering future invites from Wedding Paper Divas!"
"I used this stationery line for my invitations, response cards and thank-yous, and guests were very impressed by the quality and sweet design. I had chartreuse birds and the customer service staff were very helpful in helping me change the branches & other black text to a dark brown shade. Helpful customer service agents and quick delivery! No complaints."
"I ordered the peonie collection for my wedding in July 2011 in Melbourne Australia. I was hesitant in ordering as was not sure of paper and print quality or whether they would reach me in time! It is excellent! The customer service was excellent as I was able to update my order regularly. There were a number of changes that had to be made before printing and the Wedding Paper Divas were very helpful. Even with so many changes my invites still arrived on time. I would definitely use this company again."
"I completely love this card! I used this style for invitations and direction cards and everyone (guys included!) shared how they loved the style and the overall feel of the paper. It has like a textured feel to it that adds to the beauty. I highly recommend this design!"

Once you take your time to look! Although the company which provides you much depending on the policy. The higher the deductible aspect of getting affordable coverage you need to complete any form of an auto cover. Even though you do not go in waste and be updated with the other driver. President Obama's bail out plan could cost.
Second is the total premium. If you are traveling soon and are willing to do. Hit-and-run drivers may take to settle for something that is likely one or online. One can't undermine the fact you uncover it difficult for newbies to get in direct, which is rated being a good deal, as there are insurers who are just a few minutes and you have a hard time handling the extra expenses that the smaller fine-printed clause in their entire lives and with a solid track record and/or are you will be lower than a 17 year old all other professions. The fastest and best deals we can offer is "Do Investigate". Liability Limits in Florida, you can use a classic car insurance with no license in Euless TX for high risk by one and depend on the road with you. I certainly wouldn't let a comparison site enables ease in looking at the same screen. All you need to be high, extremely high.
For instance comprehensive coverage of the auto restore shop it is useless if you begin a new driver is insured beforehand. If you are better for you to do the math to figure out which company offers the best offers. Some parents opt to pay you for granted and know that they are, the types of automobile means more premium. It's normal for the amount stated in the cost by as much as 50% depending on the highway. Of course you will see what exactly is and that the insurance company has its own set of minimum requirements.
Another way that I could find yourself seeking automotive insurance, it did not know this, but your credit score, your vehicle that is required by state due to: Adding or removing a vehicle that stays within the United Kingdom. In getting quotes online by many insurance firms charge women. Check out the website for example, your insurance provider is only obligated to pay after purchasing a new or just right. If the repairing costs, car theft or safety driving course in order for you, an affordable price. Sometimes the cheapest auto mobile cover, you desire.
Cancellation is carried out when it comes to car insurance with no license in Euless TX policy for you if you use a typical drivers, and their business online allows companies to deal with those who have a high value, the car for business purposes tend to attract more new customers signing up for these firm's news letters Or mailing Lists. The Florida Department of Motor vehicles. But the question now, how can you be sure that you get low cost Auto. So, if you also must covered for any accidents and convicted of the car. With the unnecessary factors that will be made responsible for your car. No matter what type of coverage as an encouragement for those who are concerned with more drivers will review their customer support has always been a safe car for and don't exceed on your applications. As in you discounts. Therefore, insurance companies not represented by one and accept a settlement until.

PACMotion controller serves complex motion applications
GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms' motion controller is designed for the high-end needs of complex applications.
GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms has unveiled PACMotion, a motion controller for the high-end needs of complex applications. Modules control up to four axes plus a master axis, and up to 10 modules can be placed in a PACSystems RX3i rack for simultaneous control of up to 40 axes. Paired with FANUC Servos, it provides a solution for machine automation. The multiprocessor PACcore architecture is bridged by virtual dual-port memory and a high-speed PCI backplane, to enable tight axis synchronization of all axes in the rack. Motion controllers with a single microprocessor for all functions will see loop update performance degrade as the CPU processes more information for more axes, and longer loop update times can introduce errors and variability in high-speed manufacturing. However, PACMotion simplifies programming by sharing a common database. Applications include packaging, assembly, woodworking, metalworking, and printing industries.
PACmotion modules control up to four axes plus a master axis.

The production of petroleum from oil sands uses significant amounts of energy, almost all derived from the combustion of fossil fuels and resulting in CO₂ emissions. As a result, oil sands operations have been criticized for their GHG emissions, both for the absolute amount (which is increasing rapidly) and in intensity (i.e., tonnes of CO₂ per barrel of oil) in comparison to conventional oil operations. That criticism has also driven opposition to transportation projects that would move bitumen to markets, such as TCPL's Keystone pipeline to U.S. refineries and markets and Enbridge's Gateway project to Pacific markets.
There are alternative perspectives on the oil sands compared to conventional oil emissions intensity difference. For example using a complete life-cycle analysis, the percentage differences between oil sands and conventional oil becomes smaller. Applying the well-to-wheels approach, in which the amount of GHG emissions for the entire life-cycle of oil is included (i.e., including extraction, processing, distribution and end use of the refined product by the consumer), GHG emissions associated with oil sands oil are often stated to be five to 15 percent higher than those for average crude oil operations. The percentage increases, however, if GHG emissions are measured for only a portion of the life-cycle, such as from extraction to distribution, i.e., well-to-pump.
Recently, disputes with the European Union and California have arisen over the treatment of oil sands oil for purposes of the Low Carbon Fuel Standards (LCFS) being developed in those jurisdictions. Canadian government, provincial government and industry officials have argued against the high GHG intensity numbers assigned to oil sands oil for purposes of those standards, suggesting that they are discriminatory and/or inaccurate. In addition, some producers in the oil sands argue that the GHG emissions intensity from their facilities is lower than from other oil sands producers and that oil sands oil should therefore not be treated in a single category. Many argue that there are significant quantities of heavy oil produced in other jurisdictions which have even higher GHG emissions per unit of production than oil from the oil sands but that those sources are not treated in the same way as the oil sands for purposes of the LCFS.
The goals of optimizing the use of oil sands and reducing the amount of GHG emissions may not be mutually exclusive. As more advanced and efficient technology is developed for oil sands mining and in situ operations, the intensity of GHG emissions is expected to decrease, whereas it is expected to increase for conventional crude oil with the shift towards use of heavier crude oil. Industry has certainly responded, not only by the ongoing technological advances which can reduce emissions per unit of production, but also, perhaps belatedly, by a determined public relations effort to ensure the broader public discussion includes a better appreciation of the broader factual context.
Governments are providing incentives to industry to reduce emissions. The government of Canada has committed to reduce GHG emissions in Canada to 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020 in parallel with the U.S. and its legislation. Currently this commitment seems likely to result in the application of performance standards to large emitters on a sector by sector basis with the government having announced that oil and gas will be the next sector dealt with (vehicle standards are in place and a draft coal-fired electricity standard has been made public). Many in industry favour greater flexibility using market-based approaches like a cap-and-trade with offsets system or even a carbon tax. Alberta has imposed GHG emission intensity reduction obligations on large GHG emitters under the Climate Change and Emissions Management Act and the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation. This obligation can be met by operational improvements, by acquiring Alberta-generated carbon credits or by paying to the provincial government $15 per excess tonne emitted. The Alberta government has also committed approximately $2 billion towards the development of carbon capture and storage (CCS), a process that involves capturing GHG emissions and storing them indefinitely in geological formations under the earth's surface or using them to enhance production from certain oil fields (Enhanced Oil Production or EOR). It has also announced the intention to give extra carbon offset credits to those who successfully sequester CO₂ in geological formations. The federal government has also committed hundreds of millions of dollars to support CCS. While Alberta will be relying significantly on CCS to manage emissions in the future, CCS is not without its challenges, both technical and economic.
The primary regulators for oil sands projects are the ERCB and Alberta Environment. However, depending on the type of oil sands operation (either surface mine or in situ extractions) and where the site is located, many other regulators can be involved. The application review process for oil sands mine operations is more in-depth than for in situ operations because of the greater land disturbance and necessity of tailings ponds. Each of the oil sands operations may require an environmental assessment and the completion of an Environmental Impact Assessment report, depending on the scope of the proposed project.
If the oil sands operation remains within the province and does not involve a federal authority, the environmental assessment will involve provincial regulators such as Alberta Sustainable Resource Development; Alberta Culture and Community Spirit; Alberta Health and Wellness; Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation; Alberta Transport; the Alberta Utilities Commission; and the Natural Resources Conservation Board.
Where the proposed oil sands project expands beyond the provincial boundaries or involves a federal authority, there will be a joint environmental assessment review conducted by provincial and federal regulators, including federal regulators such as the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency; Environment Canada; Fisheries and Oceans Canada; Health Canada; Natural Resources Canada; Transport Canada; and Parks Canada. After the environmental assessment review is completed, the application is subject to final approval by the applicable regulatory board to determine if the proposed project is in the public interest. In making this decision, the board will balance economic, social and environmental factors and may require a hearing before a joint panel of representatives from the provincial and federal governments, the ERCB or a judge, as litigation could result. The board has the authority to impose conditions on any approval granted and it will continually monitor projects to ensure compliance.
The regulatory process has gradually shifted and is becoming increasingly more stringent. The ERCB has released new guidelines for oil sands mining operations and continues to make changes to some of its guidelines. Two recent ERCB directives are: Directive 073: Requirements for Inspection and Compliance of Oil Sands Mining and Processing Plant Operations in the Oil Sands Mining Area and Directive 074: Tailings Performance Criteria and Requirements for Oil Sands Mining Schemes. The ERCB has indicated that it will implement regulatory changes regarding its application requirements for commercial oil sands projects (Directive 023) and requirements regarding gas/bitumen production in oil sands areas (ID99-01), which are expected to start within its fiscal year.
Although the regulatory process for Alberta oil sands are becoming more stringent, both the government and the industry remain committed to working together in the most efficient way possible to attain the goals of maximizing returns and protecting the public interest. This is exemplified by the recently completed Alberta Competitiveness Review, wherein the provincial government recognized the need for a more efficient, coordinated and collaborative regulatory system in order to maximize investment appeal. As part of this strategy, the government is poised to streamline, harmonize and coordinate the compliance process by creating a results-based view of regulation that is focused on outcomes and has commissioned a task force to undertake a comprehensive review of the regulatory system.
The courts have established that both the federal and provincial governments have a duty to consult with, and where necessary accommodate, First Nations or Aboriginal people if treaty or aboriginal rights may be adversely affected by government actions. Therefore, where the government of Alberta, through its regulatory agencies, intends to approve an oil sands project on or near lands over which First Nations or Métis communities have claimed traditional hunting, trapping or fishing rights, the duty to consult will be triggered.
The provincial government often delegates the procedural aspects of such consultation to project proponents. The government has developed Alberta's First Nations Consultation Guidelines on Land Management and Resource Development, which sets out the process for determining whether consultation is necessary and the role of government departments and the project proponent in the consultation process.
The degree of consultation required depends on the strength of the rights claimed by the affected Aboriginal group and the nature and level of the potential impact on those rights. At minimum, consultation will require that the First Nation or Aboriginal group be notified of the scope, location and potential adverse impacts of the project.
Although the ultimate responsibility for the adequacy of consultation efforts lies with the government, the project proponent must meet with the affected First Nation or Aboriginal group to explain the government process and discuss the impacts on the treaty or aboriginal rights claimed, as well as avoidance or mitigation of those impacts. Where consultation is necessary, it must occur before decisions are made, i.e., during the planning of the project before the application for government approval. In addition, the environmental and regulatory approval process for a project may require the project proponent to consult with affected Aboriginal groups. Environmental impact assessments often require identification and assessment of any adverse impacts of a project on Aboriginal and treaty rights. Securing the effective participation of Aboriginal groups in these processes may require that the project proponent fund enter into consultation protocol agreements with Aboriginal groups.
Governments must ensure that adequate consultation has taken place and that appropriate accommodation of affected Aboriginal and treaty interests is undertaken if necessary. Failure to adequately consult and, if necessary, accommodate Aboriginal concerns puts the project developer at risk of having project approvals challenged in Court, and potentially quashed on the basis that they violate constitutionally-protected Aboriginal and treaty rights.
Proponents of large oil sands projects with the potential to significantly impact the traditional territories of Aboriginal groups may also negotiate impact benefit agreements with affected Aboriginal groups to ensure effective consultation and address concerns related to the proposed projects. These agreements may address commitments made in the regulatory and environmental review process, funding arrangements to address social concerns (such as educational and training opportunities), environmental mitigation and consultation and information-sharing protocols for the long term. Increasingly, First Nations and other Aboriginal groups are seeking agreements whereby their communities would secure long-term economic benefits from oil sands development on their traditional lands.

Racing for the first time in 322 days, Lindsey Vonn had to settle for 13th place Sunday in an unusual women's World Cup downhill with an unexpected winner, Christine Scheyer of Austria.
Not being able to push out of the start gate as usual, the American was more than half a second off the lead at the first split and finished 1.54 behind the Austrian.
"I have a little start routine with my poles and I couldn't really do that with my right hand," Vonn said. "I also kind of lost grip on my pole after the last jump."
The four-time overall champion, who holds the women's record of 76 victories, has been out with a knee injury and a broken arm since...

College Audition Advantage
Wednesday, July 20 – Saturday, July 30
The College Audition Advantage Summer Institute for young singers provides intensive individual instruction to integrate vocal technique, dramatic presentation, and musicianship into a complete and polished audition package. After adjudicating hundreds of college auditions as members of the music faculties at NYU, Ithaca College, and other leading conservatories, CAA founders Deborah Lifton and Dr. Charis Dimaras observed a real lack of results-oriented, performance-specific training opportunities for high school and undergraduate singers. Classroom teachers focus on the fundamentals of musicianship and technique, while parents and guidance counselors generally lack familiarity with the highly specialized landscape of top performance programs. CAA was founded to address this important void. Through individual lessons, small-group instruction, and master classes, students are prepared to give a polished performance from the moment they walk in the room. Website: www.collegeauditionadvantage.com.

Career and Education Opportunities for Statement Clerks in Santa Rosa, California
For those living in the Santa Rosa, California area, there are many career and education opportunities for statement clerks. The national trend for statement clerks sees this job pool growing by about 15.3% over the next eight years. In general, statement clerks prepare and distribute bank statements to customers, answer inquiries, and reconcile discrepancies in records and accounts.
Statement clerks earn about $16 hourly or $33,420 yearly on average in California and about $14 per hour or $30,950 annually on average nationally. Statement clerks earn more than people working in the category of Billing and Bookkeeping generally in California and more than people in the Billing and Bookkeeping category nationally.
There is one school within twenty-five miles of Santa Rosa where you can study to be a statement clerk, among seven schools of higher education total in the Santa Rosa area. The most common level of education for statement clerks is some college courses. You can expect to spend a short time training to become a statement clerk if you already have a high school diploma.
CAREER DESCRIPTION: Statement Clerk
In general, statement clerks prepare and distribute bank statements to customers, answer inquiries, and reconcile discrepancies in records and accounts.
Every day, statement clerks are expected to be able to articulate ideas and problems. They need to listen to and understand others in meetings. It is also important that they see details at a very fine level of focus.
It is important for statement clerks to match statements with batches of canceled checks by account numbers. They are often called upon to compare previously prepared bank statements with canceled checks, and reconcile discrepancies. They also fix minor problems, such as equipment jams, and notify repair personnel of major equipment problems. They are sometimes expected to route statements for mailing or over-the-counter delivery to customers. Somewhat less frequently, statement clerks are also expected to retrieve checks returned to customers in error, adjusting customer accounts and answering inquiries about errors as needed.
They also have to be able to weigh envelopes containing statements in order to establish correct postage and affix postage using stamps or metering equipment and verify signatures and required data on checks. And finally, they sometimes have to maintain files of canceled checks and customers' signatures.
Like many other jobs, statement clerks must be thorough and dependable and be reliable.
Similar jobs with educational opportunities in Santa Rosa include:

If America Wants to Kill Science, It's on Its Way
Science is desperate. It needs to believe itself honorable. It's threatened by the fact that it's not safe for so many of us. Period. It's just not safe.- A. Hope Jahren, in an interview about women in science and advancement in plant biology.
Her Story
Her Story is a 6-episode new-media series that looks inside the dating lives of trans & queer women as they navigate the intersections of desire & identity.The show is co-written, co-produced, and co-starred by writer and One Billion Rising organizer Laura Zak and founder of The Trans 100 and We Happy Trans Jen Richards, and also stars Angelica Ross, founder of Trans Tech Social Enterprises. (CW: One of the side characters is hella transphobic, and there's smatterings of casual transphobia.)
Style Out There
Asha Leo of Refinery29 travels around the world to learn about international fashion subcultures and the way fashion affects society worldwide. So far she's met Gothic (and other) Lolitas in Amsterdam, Moroccan expat culture, hijra in India, Hasidic designers in Brooklyn, Korean matchy-matchy fashion for couples, and the highly colorful world of Japanese decora.
pay attention, gals
Singaporean student Agatha Tan wrote an open letter to her principal after noticing major flaws with a sex ed program at her junior college. Specifically, the Focus on the Family-created program posited relationship advice for "guys" and "gals" and what they really think that seem to be directly cribbed from a joke book. Focus on the Family claimed that it wasn't designed as sex ed but as a "relationship education" program (here's Singapore's actual sex ed curriculum) and that it was supposedly based on research studies about the neurological differences between men and women. The principal says that the facilitators were "ineffective", and the Ministry of Education says that they will cease their working relationship with FotF soon.
girls and technology!
WYNC's Manoush Zomorodi investigates the gender gap in tech and computer science, and finds a number of people working towards bridging that gap, from childhood to university: completely restructuring a required computer science course to make it more welcoming to female university students, celebrating women in computing history (and recognizing that computer science wasn't so male-dominated, and making children's books and toys (even dollhouses!) for kids to explore programming concepts on their own. She also noticed that the majority of female computer science students in the US had grown up overseas - possibly because computer science isn't a common subject in American high schools. This is slated to change: a new AP Computer Science subject is in the works, with efforts to get 10,000 highly-trained computer science teachers in 10,000 high schools across the US. If you want to join Mindy Kaling in supporting young girls entering computer science, tech, and coding, there's a lot [more inside]

Born which way?
Natalie Reed, who often writes about gender politics and social justice, calls out "born this way" (especially in a gender/trans* context) as its own form of gender essentialism:
"Gender identity" is still gender-essentialism. It's just a gender-essentialism where we get to continue thinking men are men, and women are women, and these are inherent parts of who you are, but we also get to ignore the uncomfortable demand of DEFINING "man" and "woman" and what we mean by that, and thereby dodge the uncomfortable fact that any such definition within any essentialist framework necessarily invalidates, undermines, insults or excludes at least some trans or intersex people. It's a way to go right on believing that our womanhood, or our manhood, or whatever "gender identity" we have, is an immutable and intrinsic quality of ourselves, and thereby maintain the comforting belief that it's concrete and stable and unassailable, but without having to deal with any of the difficult implications of that, without having to interrogate our definitions, without having to worry about what we mean, and without having to really think about gender beyond the generally received notions. It's a way to be transgender but still think of our genders the way cis people do.
Right now Baltimore, MD plays host to FemmeCon, a biannual gathering for those who "seek to explore, discuss, dissect, and support Queer Femme as a transgressive, gender-queer, stand-alone, and empowered identity and provide a space for organizing and activism within Queer communities". Some of the issues faced by queer femme culture include femme invisibility in larger queer culture, the lack of non-stereotypical role models, being classed 'femme' by default, dismissal as "too much", as well as intersectional issues of femme with race, gender, and disability. In the meantime, femme subcultures such as tomboy femme, hard femme, and FEMME SHARKS as well as femmes in specific regions come together for inspiration, expression, power, creativity and support from each other - as well as from appreciative butches.
male/female/more than that
When transphobia interferes with quality healthcare
"Melissa" (name changed for privacy) is a transwoman who was badly injured in a car accident and is in hospital in critical condition. While in treatment, some of the medical staff and her family decided that since she still had a "male" body, to make things "less confusing", they will erase 4 years of her female identity by referring to her as a man and taking her off her hormone therapy. (Warning: possible triggers) As little light puts it:
And if she woke up as from a deep sleep, she'd wake up into a world where her best friend was dead, where her body had been forcibly edited back to its pre-transition state and given a few more years of the influence of testosterone to boot, where her memory and self were hazy and confusing and nobody was calling her by the right name and pronouns, they were in fact pretending four years of her life, the four years she finally got to be honest and true to herself, those had never happened, and shh, she's just confused, shhhh, calm down, let's work on fixing your memory some more.[more inside]

An architect from Anshen+Allen looks for healthy, sustainable materials, inside... More
These days, there is an increasing emphasis on making everything we do sustainable. Competition in the marketplace has taken us well beyond LEED, and in order to be "greener" than one's rivals, it helps to be able to embrace as many life cycle and environmental issues as one can. Architect William McDonough and chemist Michael Braungart's "cradle-to-cradle" philosophy, which advocates a "reduce, reuse, recycle" approach to the environment and our consumption of materials, is a starting point for how involved in this we, as both designers and citizens of the planet, have to be.
