      @omarieclaire a few thoughts: - the best support I've had has come from peers, not people explicitly ahead of/above me - sponsorship means more than mentorship. someone who will advocate for you!

    @omarieclaire - when I have mentored people, a lot of it is just saying "yes, that's normal, don't worry about it" / "yes, that's totally fucked" / "well I'd do this but honestly whatever seems sensible to you makes sense" / "you're doing fine"

      @omarieclaire - a valuable thing has been being in spaces where I can see behaviour being modelled. "this is the kind of thing a game designer thinks about". this can be one way! - mentorship is as much about providing questions as it is about providing answers "what are your career goals?"etc
