Neighbor running out to us: “don’t let your baby eat those! That’s oleander, it will poison him!!” Me, snidely as baby eats fistfuls of flowers behind me: “um…’they’ haven’t embraced a gender identity yet, and if you must know oleander is his name and birth flower but thanks anyway Karen.”

I love this for so many reasons. Among them, that Margaret Hamilton was a legend, one of the greatest film villains as the Wicked Witch of the West, and that Fred Rogers gave her the chance to separate the character from the actress. Also, Romero's segment? "Mr. Rogers Gets a Tonsillectomy."

Lucille Ball--actress, comedian, producer & film-studio executiver--died #OTD in 1989. In 1962, she bought out Desi Arnaz's interest in Desilu Productions & became the 1st woman to own & run a major TV studio. Desilu produced many popular TV series including Mission: Impossible & #StarTrek. #legend

This classic black-and-white studio portrait captures the legendary Lucille Ball (1911–1989), an American actress, comedian, and pioneering studio executive. Best known for her iconic role in I Love Lucy, Ball was the first woman to lead a major television studio, Desilu Productions. In this elegant, close-up composition, Ball looks directly at the camera with a calm and poised expression. Her light-colored hair is styled in elaborate, high-volume rolls that sweep upward from her forehead, typical of the sophisticated 1940s glamour. She wears a shimmering, light-toned jacket with a subtle grid pattern that catches the light. Her ensemble is accented by large, round, sparkling cluster earrings that draw attention to her face. The lighting is soft yet focused, highlighting her perfectly applied makeup—defined brows, dark mascara, and a polished, dark lip color. The background is softly out of focus, featuring a neutral, textured wall with organic, leaf-like shadows that create a sense of depth.

If you've read it and you're willing to share how it hit you I'd love to hear! By this point I've sold enough copies and enough time has passed that I walk around assuming someone's finished the whole book, and feel pretty swell about that.

It's not strictly "banned" but it is self-published, unpublishably experimental, and largely about failing to gain the approval of gatekeepers and power-brokers and being glad you did. Here's a free sample of the audiobook: soundcloud.com/user-6825321...

I'm flattered to be mentioned alongside so many fantastic game writers! Everyone go and play Fallen London to experience these stories and so much more. @failbettergames.com

Fallen London is where the writers of Baldur's Gate 3, Dishonored and Stellaris come to let their hair down

These interactive short stories are too bold and surprising to stay secret.

This is actually a great maneuver and I'm surprised to not have seen it more. Movie about a reckless dude "on the edge" who refuses to see the glass as half-full, simultaneously creates primal obvious tension you can't not feel. "well don't do that."
