sometimes, the difficulty setting I want in my video games is the experience of when an older sibling hands you a controller that's not plugged in. just let me watch a playthrough on my steam deck and mash some buttons when things get exiting.

I just released a new keepsake game- Bleed Map! You play alongside a video game of your choice, creating a map of the digital space. At the same time, you'll be prompted to record emotions and thoughts from your everyday life that bleed into the experience. florencesmithnicholls.itch.io/bleed-map

Woke up to news that the hardcovers for Legend of Auntie Po are getting remaindered! Publishing is hard! (This book has an Eisner and is a National Book Award finalist.)

Lucy taught me how to do this and I wore it around like a necklace and gruff old men would constantly go "a monkey's fish!" and harrumph a note of approval, so if you love approval form gruff old men and Lucy Bellwood(I do), you should get in on this.

For the first time in my ~five years of teaching, I have a pair of twins in my class who dress the same, and they are wonderful - but even though intellectually I know what is happening, I constantly feel like I am having a stroke.

A staple of my kitchen is The Whatever Tart, and next month Mail Day patrons are getting a printed copy of this illustrated recipe. As you might imagine, it is the easiest tart to make and great for clearing out your vegetable drawer.

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.
Miss Piggy and Dolly Parton in fancy dresses posing together photo of Tim Curry surrounded by muppets, smiling for a photo. A quote from curry is added “it didn’t go very well. It didn’t survive the shoot. She felt I wasn’t being faithful to her” it’s him discussing his ill fated affair with miss piggy

It’s sort of amazing to think that in February 2024 Shing was here in Auburn carving puppets as a visiting artist, and that by November 2025 I visited those puppets at Shing’s studio in LA & got to see the sets for this film coming into being (and learn to carve, inexpertly). What a gift.
