Some days, even with everything going on being broken and on fire, there might be a day where things feel ok.

An EXTREMELY selfish Kickstarter in that I'm just making the editions of these books that I've always wanted—cannot put into words how much love and care we've poured into every aspect this project!📚🩵 ...and it's no accident that @gilespink.bsky.social now has a writing credit on the Book of D'ni 👀

It’s my first day of school at the big new (actually very old) university and it’s also my wedding anniversary. On the way out the door just now my husband called out “have a good day at school!” Yall. I like him a lot.

Almost every single student who has found me this week wants to talk about AI. A couple reflections. One student has taken three AI courses in philosophy, health sciences and comm. They’re basically the same class. As it turns out, it doesn’t take a lot of classes to “learn” ai.

My folks are downsizing and I was so happy to take a milk crate of vinyl off their hands. We used to listen to this one a lot when I was a kid and it still holds up. 1980 was just a couple of years ago, right?

With @cyan.com's permission, I spilled some secrets about the recently shelved MYST game codenamed ANGLERFISH after seeing the demo during my reporting for @wired.com. www.thefrontlist.org/p/anglerfish...
thefrontlist.org
I've seen the lost 'Myst' game—and we're all losers (for now)
During a demo, the creators revealed new secrets about 'Anglerfish' (now on ice) and 'Mudfish' (now in development).

Just Smile (Part 4/5) - Gator Days
Just Smile (Part 4/5) - Gator Days

Characters

Liam - Capybara - A quiet and introspective boy. He enjoys writing and learning about things. Ember's older brother.

Fern - Capybara - Mother to Dan, Liam, and Ember. She's a good listener.

Ember - Capybara - A LITTLE GIRL WHO LOVES SNACKS AND YELLS EVERYTHING! LIAM'S LITTLE SISTER! IS SHE ACTUALLY IN THE COMIC? IF SHE IS SHE'S BEING VERY STEALTHY!

Transcript

Panel 1

Liam has been talking to his mom about his trouble with expressions, especially smiling. They're having hot chocolate and cookies while he's talking about his trouble.

Liam: I just wish I was normal.

Panel 2

Fern tells Liam what she thinks. She wants to do her best to show him some support.

Fern: If you want to smile more, we can work on that together and find what works for you. But there's something important you should know.

The cookie jar labelled "COOKIE JAIL" is sitting next to Liam. In the distance a pair of ears can be seen.

Panel 3

Fern refers back to what Liam said when he started this conversation. Specifically about how he felt that he must be broken.

Fern: You're not broken. Everyone has parts in their lives that are easier or harder. Like how you can express yourself so well with words.

The mysterious ears are moving closer to the cookie jail. Could this be a hero that seeks to liberate the cookies from their prison?

Panel 4

Fern: You can show your feelings in the way you're most comfortable with. And no matter what, I love you.

Liam leans closer to his mom. What she says isn't a quick fix but it's helping him feel better. Liam doesn't know that this is a moment that he will remember for the rest of his life.

Liam: I love you too, Mom.

It looks like the mysterious person has reach the cookie jail and... OH NO! The name of the author for this comic is blocking their face. All we can see is the top of their hand reaching towards the jar. Golly, guess we'll never know who this is. I'm sure they have saved all the cookies.
