I've had this stupid joke in my head for the past 3 weeks, I had to put it into drawing

Theatrical poster for "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me," except the portrait of Laura Palmer is replaced with a Walkling from the game Big Walk, and the film name is replaced with "Big Walk with Me"

I personally really like the OoT remake’s art style! It definitely looks a little uncanny. But I love how detailed and textured the clothes are, and how the characters look like porcelain dolls.

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.

“In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5', I had an uncanny experience, and on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this mean? Neither one of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder.”

I thought promoting my book would be hard, but a bunch of you have made it easy. 🥰 First two chapters of episode 2 are now up www.scribblehub.com/series/24236...

Promotional image for Exocoetus featuring a crop of the key art and reader quotes.

“Messy and flawed characters that I instantly
fell for and felt for. World building that felt
fully realized without being over-indulgent.
The best and easiest to visualize action writing
I've read. Dana's personal writing voice which
I find so compelling.” — Evelyn

“it will leave you wanting more”
— Lucid Lucifer

“Grown up fun action and adventure with
wonderful characters and a vibrant world,
dystopian but with enclaves of hope and
freedom.” — Krissy

“Hoooooooked!” — theInmara

“I loved the way that you set up Deia and
Helen's characters to simultaneously let me
as a reader know who they actually are, while
also setting up each other's bewilderment at
how the hell that just landed in their lap”
— Small but Tall

“Very exciting story, hardly any
time to breathe so far.” — FayeBliss

“You had me at dashing captain with a dark
past × depressed computer girlie but even
so, I can't wait to meet the rest of the crew.”
— Goblinfluencer

Reality is a camera trick. Films, games, police bodycams — all depict a version of the first-person perspective. We use those sources to unconsciously decide what “real life” should look like through that digital lens. The camera manipulates our expectations, always. youtu.be/BEM_qZEX5VU

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.

I will dispose of the first myth as quickly as possible. The “secret” is skill. If you haven’t learned how to do something, the people who have may seem to be magicians, possessors of mysterious secrets. In a fairly simple art, such as making pie crust, there are certain teachable “secrets” of method that lead almost infallibly to good results; but in any complex art, such as housekeeping, piano-playing, clothes-making, or story-writing, there are so many techniques, skills, choices of method, so many variables, so many “secrets,” some teachable and some not, that you can learn them only by methodical, repeated, long-continued practice — in other words, by work.

For folks that don't watch football much. It's not that Capo Verde, a tiny nation, managed to make it this far. It's that they made every team work for it. They weren't the classic minnow who played negative football and scraped by. They were equals to Argentina today. Incredible. Bravo. A classic.
