the difference between getting a degree in the arts versus getting a degree in the fine arts is that people doing the latter often treat class discussions as a way to practice their tight five

called myself a freak at rpg book club and another attendee was genuinely surprised that someone at an rpg book club at a gaming co-op in brooklyn would self-identify in that way like where do you think you are

NYC TTRPG book club at @boshis.place! this Thursday the 24th at 7:00 p.m.! we're reading Tom Bloom's CAIN! come join us to discuss, we'd love to see you there!

poster with art from "CAIN" of a goth girl holding up two fingers and a thumb, with some grungy paper texture stuff thrown over it. text, double-shadowed in pink and orange (matching the woman's spooky eyes), reads "NYC TTRPG BOOK CLUB / Tom Bloom's "CAIN" / Thursday, September 24th, 7:00 p.m. / boshi's place — 1002 Metropolitan / Presented by Dead Letters." two of the woman's fingers rise up over to cover part of the "C" and "U" in "club," creating a smidgen of a layering effect

gonna be so real i don’t think having nikki from obsession being a monster at hhn this year is actually that big of an issue. like frankenstein’s monster IS called the monster but we all understand that he’s also the victim in the story

Some authors say they didn’t *write* their books with AI, but they needed to use it for the *cover* because they couldn’t afford an artist. To prove that’s not true, I am offering authors FREE cover design by me, a former graphic designer. They probably won’t be great, but they’ll be better than AI.

Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote:

"The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same."
