Šehhinah #audiobook chapters 3 (20 mins) and 4 (7 mins)! remarkable how much variation in not just pagecount but speed different chapters are. vocaroo.com/15A2wMKdxV7L vocaroo.com/1bnF5rf9RiKc

At #TactiCon in Colorado this past weekend I had the pleasure of playing "If I Were A Lich, Man" and its sequels by lucian kahn of @hitpointpress.bsky.social, a ttrpg which is also a drinking game. the experience can be summed up by this discord text I sent to my girlfriend while playing:

discord screencap from Ivana reading (heavily misspelled): 'we did not obra8n weap9ns of mass cthulu to mutually assured destruction w the paladins'

then I bred her, as one does. and you see– her Hair wasn’t supposed to inherit. but something was toggled wrong that was then fixed after i announced the child, so I got a unique and never again makeable forbidden hair inheriting skeleton horse thing, who also managed to get a very good rng name:

a purple/blue skeleton horse with (illegal) hair, named Incomprehensible

i need to get back into the #4dopt adoptables web game I sometime, but anyway i recently was reminded of how I need to show everyone my horsesona obtained in an auction. It looks exactly like me if I was a skeleton horse, and named HairyAce (i am hairy and ace)

my partner loves to make art of my books, but in practice she almost exclusively draws her fave from šehhinah, tamar:

a murky brown watercolor painting of a woman with short wavy black hair and long gloves and skirt leaning on a street vendor cart and smirking at the viewer. Her eyes are blank white.

My most recent release of 2025: In the Wake of Infinities, a novella-length postscript to my Šehhinah trilogy. Not a standalone, but involves a narrower focus and more experimental writing than the rest of the series books2read.com/b/4A0O8k
