I was all like, oh this isn’t so bad! And then the Bloom noticed me and made it so eating meals takes 300% longer!?! Very cool game, I’m excited to put many hours into this~

It's Banned Books Week. My fellow librarians, listen carefully: your book displays should be almost exclusively writers who are alive. Yes, I know classic literature is also being banned, but most of those authors are dead. They aren't suffering financially from bans and challenges.

Brainstorm is a badass word and I don't know why anyone would want to let a machine do it for them. Writers: My brain is experiencing lightening and gail force winds about this idea. Can you taste the rain in the air? The bro: I'd rather press a button. Vibe check failed.

this spooky season, did you know: I finished a new horror graphic novel this year? and you can read it all for free online?? It’s about finding out your mom has a secret old ex-girlfriend who is bald and wants to kill you. Sound relatable? Start here: www.thegoblinthrone.com/comic/001/

I now have a day job (YAY!!) that unfortunately takes 2 hours to get to via public transit (😭) so you likely won't as much of me on here, esp. as I adjust until I'm not completely wiped out once I get home. THAT SAID, we just have a couple days left on the Kickstarter for Heavy Are The Years!!

Three illustrated SFF novellas in one collection exploring the theme of time and how it affects us.

How I’ve missed this place: the Center for @cartoonstudies.bsky.social in White River Junction, Vermont

Image of an intersection with several brick buildings from the very early 1900s. One had a vintage sign that says Room with bath. Across the street is the old Colodny building with the sign ‘the Center for Cartoon Studies.’

Elon Musk is not an expert on the future of warfare, and he shouldn’t be leading a US taskforce on the topic. The Trump administration’s attacks on, e.g., civil servants and DEI are inextricable from its attacks on expertise in general.

When it comes to being the first to listen to a new week's episode, you'll never beat @thechindividual.bsky.social! Not to mention he's also the fastest meme-maker in the West~ 🤠

Meme format: top half featuring Squidward shouting "Who listens to the new Twilight's Edge episode at 6 in the morning?!" bottom half featuring Patrick waking up in bed. The word Markus is pasted over his forehead, and Patrick exclaims "Oh boy 6 am on a Tuesday!"

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

This year is not going well. I realize how bad it is that I’m asking for support in such a bad time for everyone. It’s a punch in the gut to write these posts because I just want to find a job and get back to being productive. I’m still getting tests done. I’m scared a bit. Please, if you can.

If you don't work in the industry, I don't think you realize how hard a hustle and drive it takes to release so many games in such a short amount of time. This is the energy! This is the moment! So excited for Something is Wrong at the Library 📚 ⚰️

“The bottom line is that we know humans are largely responsible for the two most prominent causes: pesticides and habitat loss.” The bees are responsible for 80% of all pollination wide, so we should do our damndest to save them. For then, for us, for microcosms, for the future.
