Omg. I also wasn’t that familiar with her (we are all committing massive gay man sins here) but I *loved* her. She was exquisite. Her charming brutalist. Her poetic take on food. Love.

Sacramento is great, especially if you can tolerate a few weeks of 100 degree weather in the summer. No snow, mild, winter, all 4 seasons. Great food culture. We’d love to have you around!

I contributed a lot to this issue as the chief layout artist, and I’m quite proud of it! It came out really nice!

Why is it an insult to call some place a “one-horse town?” They’re doing okay. They’ve got a horse

Just watched Journey to the West, and while I love Stephen Chow, it was pretty much incomprehensible. It had some great moments, and while I loved me some wackiness, but it was too disjoint to be enjoyable. Plus, it very much failed the Bechdel test.

okay I am home after spending a week with my parents helping my dad recover from open-heart surgery (he's improving, and everything is good!) So I wanna talk a quick bit about Sprigs & Kindling and our ennie nominations. :)

We're honestly blown away that Sprigs & Kindling has been nominated for two ENNIE Awards.

This has always been a volunteer project. The goal is simple: give new creators a place to learn the ropes of TTRPG publishing—writing, editing, layout, art, proofreading, and everything else that goes into making a book. Breaking into the industry is hard, and we've been lucky enough to watch a bunch of our contributors go on to publish professionally.

Seeing a free community zine recognized alongside so many incredible projects is pretty surreal.

If you like what we're doing and want to support a volunteer-run project that's all about helping new voices, we'd really appreciate your vote.

And whether you vote or not, thanks to everyone who's written, edited, illustrated, laid out, proofread, read, or shared Sprigs & Kindling. This nomination belongs to all of you.

What a load of crap. The US mortgage system is entirely fucked. You had 50% down and they couldn’t finance the rest? Absolutely insane. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this, man. I had to take out a loan against my 401K to get 10% down and we got financing with no problem before COVID. What a load.

Blue Prince is absolutely brilliant game in the vein of Myst, and I love it, but I’m not sure I can recommend it for people that…have lives. It’s a huge time sync. I thought I had beat the game after about 100 hours and I was wrong. this is after the game tells you it’s over in no uncertain terms.

I got violently ill on these when I was 12, at a sleepover. Woof. Visceral. Still remember all the unfortunate physicality of that one.

Regret 2025 graphite and digital a humble tribute to Over the Garden Wall -{ #art | #illustration | #fantasy | #OtGW }-

"Regret" presents Beatrice, a character from the animated series Over the Garden Wall. Beatrice was cursed after throwing a rock at a bluebird: all her 12 relatives, as well as her, were transformed into bluebirds. The illustration shows us her transformation, looking in shock and crying as her right arm transforms into a bird's wing. She stands in front of a dark forest, the deep orange of autumn slowly being consumed by cyan and blue. Flying around her and into the forest we spot 12 bluebirds. The illustration also brings a foot frame, with four pumpkins and Enoch - another character, the ruler of Potsfield - in the center.

Not very Christmassy, but oh so good. A "Coconut Crab's Knees": 1.5 oz London dry gin 2 oz of coconut water 3/4 oz honey syrup (1:1 honey to water) a little over 1/2 oz of fresh lime juice 5 dashes of tiki bitters 2 drops of saline (20% salt to water by weight) refreshing!

Movie you've watched more than six time with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel. This one is easy for me. Ocean’s $N is my feel-good jam.
