2! 3 is interesting but I want to post to people I follow, not to people who follow me.

just in case you did not know what you were looking at

a picture of the sky. a skywriter has written SKY on it.

i know i can install a browser on my steam deck but you might correctly assume that someone who wants this gameplay experience is really not gonna bother.

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

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.

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

thank YOU for being the kaiju of my dreams!!!

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

You are the fuckin best and everyone who gets to work with you is the luckiest and I love you and the way you live your remarkable life!!!

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

It's my second time! Also like wow, books take up lots of space.

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

i'm with you!! There's also a Library Edition of my book(reinforced HC) and that wasn't remaindered. I don't think I'm ever earning out this book! 😅

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

they are so heavy! it sucks because I do want to buy a bunch(at highly reduced rates) to sell at cons but the math on transporting them for cons also doesn't work out great when i have smaller and more profitable inventory.

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

yeah! my condolences to your hardcover too!

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

There are a bunch left! I'm just like ughhh now warehousing these are MY problem and each carton is heavyyyy.

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

ALSO, to be clear, my publishers are champions of this book and my work, and hardcovers not selling just become a warehouse issue.

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

That definitely sounds right! I think HC MG graphic novels are a hard sell because why would parents pay more for a book a kid reads waaaay faster than a prose equivalent!

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

It's still in print, but yeah! It sucks to see an edition go out of print!

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

(Softcovers are still around and as far as I know, still sell pretty okay!)

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

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.)

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

thank you. ❤️

The person with the music written on their arse from Hieronymus Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights has pulled out of Ed Sheeran's tour

A bare bum with music written on it. Someone is pointing at it all 'look! Arse music!'

i am apologizing to my dog, i understand why this nail clipping process is not a great feeling

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

why is there a dremel with a grinding tip

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

hey so i got my nails done and thought might be relaxing but instead learned that there is a lot of overlap between nail tools and dental tools.

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

i have learned this today!

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

i 100% enjoy that this exists!!!

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

they were! kind of like scrambled crepes.

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

had to google that and i am glad i did!!

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

hahahahahaha

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

YEAH YEAH YEAHHHHH!!

Today, I produced the most disastrous pancakes, and it's great to start your day knowing the rest of it is probably gonna be better. (no advice needed)

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.

I am gonna try really hard!

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

oh no

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

That makes sense! I teach university, so no such policies! I think I've had individuals who were part of triplet or twin sets before but never in the same class!

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

They don't dress EXACTLY the same, just stylistically the same.

shing yin khor @shing.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

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.

an illustrated recipe for the Whatever Tart, a basic tart guide that can use whatever is in the fridge, as long as there is puff pastry, some sort of cheese and some sort of filling.

a real life example of the Whatever Tart made with gruyere, corn, red onion, some tomatoes and basil.
