I would kill or die for Larry

A small operation in Oregon that hunts truffles with a trained dog has added an unpaid trainee. A cat named Larry accompanies the handler and the truffle dog into the woods every outing, works a patch of ground a little apart from them, and digs with tremendous confidence in places where there is nothing.
The handler says Larry has never found a truffle and shows no sign of understanding the assignment. He does not use scent the way the dog does and he does not respond when the dog makes a find.
He simply digs his own holes nearby and then inspects them. "He thinks he's on the team," the handler said. "He is emphatically not on the team."

'TRAINEE' CAT DIGS RANDOM HOLES AND FINDS DIRT

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

All you do is take all the sex out, and use little short words, and little dumb ideas, and don't be too scary, and be sure there's a happy ending. Right? Nothing to it. Write down. Right on.

If you do all that, you might even write Jonathan Livingston Seagull and make twenty billion dollars and have every adult in America reading your book.

But you won't have every kid in America reading your book. They will look at it, and they will see straight through it, with their clear, cold, beady little eyes, and they will put it down, and they will go away. Kids will devour vast amounts of garbage (and it is good for them) but they are not like adults: they have not yet learned to eat plastic.

I am beyond thrilled to announce that TWO of my games have been nominated for Indie Groundbreaker Awards! Underneath for Best Rules & We Shall Be Monsters for Best Writing Honoured to be nominated alongside so many great games and peers! www.igdnonline.com/groundbreakers

The cover of a black and white zine on a green textured paper background. In the background are carabiners, a headlamp, a journal, rope, and a map. The cover of the zine has the title Underneath and a large etching style illustration of a narrow cave chamber. A natural fountain springs up from the rock floor. Statues of dragons and lions and weird dogs all spit water across the chamber into each other's mouths intersecting with the single stream of water erupting from the natural fountain.

The cover of the game zine We Shall Be Monsters. The title is in an embellished black letter font in white over a black background with a low contrast image of a doctor standing over a dead body on a slab. The zine is displayed on textured paper with a silk handkerchief and a small saw next to it.
