Art is an essential form of creation and rebellion. I enjoyed this presentation and I think it'll resonate with y'all too. I touched upon the importance of creation in my last article at scrivthebard.com, but this topic deserves a deep-dive. youtu.be/CDs2d3dJtYk?...

Time to resurface again 💜 I very nearly deleted all my social media, utterly burnt out for reasons I hope I'll be able to share soon. With the current state of the world, it's easy to lose the inspiration to create. But now, I'm eager to reconnect with you lovely souls. Anyone fancy a group hug?

Hi!! I'd love to help! I'm an editor/publishing consultant, largely for TTRPGs! If creating something in the family-friendly genre, I recommend @tatteredbear.bsky.social , but otherwise I provide support through my own service, Bard Commune. 1st two consultation/mentorship sessions are free ☺️

I do own the Bard Commune domain through Google, but for the website I just use WordPress! I've been with them for years, and the user-interface is just really easy to navigate. I pay a subscription for the e-shop hosting, but most of the website themes/styles are free to use :)

Anyone interested in a small world building exercise? We need a cozy escape from chaos. Would anyone like to build a treehouse commune with me? I'm imagining a huge, ancient tree, with connected dwellings nestled in its boughs. What would you build? I'd like a kitchen...gotta keep people fed!
