Thanks so much, Ryan! Hope you like the new drawn covers too as they come out. I got a first in-person look from the printers and was really happy.

FINALLY today I had a vision: convert the books to color (I chose red), create 3D versions, then turn them back to gray. A bunch of boring steps, but it worked. They're so beautiful lined up with their friends now. bossfightbooks.com/collections/...

A few years ago I used a cool online tool to make 3D mockups of all the books. Problem is, grayscale somehow breaks the tool. So every book worked but Shovel Knight, Minesweeper, & Silent Hill 2.

The drink was niche but (according to the wiki) popular with Mormons because they don't consume caffeine. Post made Postum from 1895 all the way til 2007.

Turns out Postum was a coffee substitute dreamed up by CW Post, founder of Post Cereal -- the Road to Wellville guy who was obsessed with diet and enemas. He was super anti-caffeine, and so he made a drink you brew through grain cereal instead of coffee beans. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postum

I happened upon this amazing ad for Postum in a very old magazine. Like many other ads at the time, it's lightly pro-Postum and scathingly anti-coffee.

Here's a Simpsons reference I didn't get til this week, even though it's from a S7 episode, Homer the Smithers, that I watched many times. It's part of the fast moving montage that gave us "I asked for light starch on my nightcap" and "you call this a supercomputer?" #simpsons #postum

My fave chapter in Lincoln in the Bardo was the journalistic list of all the conflicting historical accounts of what the moon was up to the night Lincoln's son died.

In nonfic it can be useful to drop in occasional reminders of the fallibility of memory: "I dunno," X added. "I might be getting it wrong. It was a long time ago." Inoculating writer & reader against the illusion that everything is perfectly verifiable, even as we all do our best.

The baby arrived last week! @emmafyffe.bsky.social is recovering well & little Maisie Rose is doing great. The baby is getting some UV treatment for jaundice that should wrap up in a couple days, and from there we'll focus on fattening her up

Having to now manually screen orders because of an influx of people buying our cheapest ebook to (most likely) test out stolen credit card numbers. If I don't screen, their bank holds us liable and charges me a scam penalty, which happened last week. WILD that this is how commerce works!

Recently I was on a podcast -- all went fine til the very end when they asked, "Anything else that you want people to know?" My brain went all cosmic zoom-out: Who am I to demand anyone know anything? LONG PAUSE full of hmms and stalling that I was sure they'd cut. They left it all in.

Genuinely inspired by how much of our stockpile of baby stuff is from friends a year or two ahead of us. Feels like community over capitalism. It'll be fun to pass it on to the next parents as Tiny Daughter grows up

I'd be curious to have conversations with folks who've successfully weaned off crowdfunding. I think I'm finally getting to the point where we'd do even better without it, which is exciting but scary!
