Emotionally connecting with the pistachio muffin I'm eating for breakfast while I sit in a surgical center lobby waiting for my partner to be out of surgery.

On my lap, a very green pistachio muffin sits on a napkin alongside a purple fountain pen and a copy of the solo journaling TTRPG, You Are a Muffin.

Ahhh, I'm so excited for these bookmarks! Last semester I worked with students in the North Central College Design Agency class and they designed these for @oesterlelib (where I'm a librarian). Sky, Meredith, and Paulina were lovely to work with 💙 I've printed 1/3 of the designs, more to come later!

Four bookmarks, three with the fronts showing and one with the back showing. The fronts feature tarot-inspired genre designs for The Romantic, The Filmster, and The Haunted. Each scene shows the college mascot, Chippy the Cardinal, in a thematic illustration. The backs have a grid where book titles and ratings can be logged.

I think that if there's an overarching theme to my writing at Skeleton Code Machine, it's that I want people to try to make games. Little games, big games, weird games, whatever. I believe that act of creating art and games is inherently good. Hopefully today's post encourages people to try it.
