Managed to convert Threads into a cozy stream of moody interiors, slice-of-life illustrations, and urban photography. Still not sure what’s going on with Bluesky 🙃

Interesting characterization of games as a kind of "novelistic genre", by Espen Aarseth (www.researchgate.net/publication/...). The notion of de-spatialization is particularly helpful in thinking through what's happening when players recount stories of their play sessions

Book that changed your life? The New York Trilogy by Paul Auster. The perfect read for a brutal New York winter in my mid-20s, when I was mustering up the wherewithal to get serious about writing. Masquerade author @wheatfu.bsky.social @ Shelf Awareness!🌔🥀 www.shelf-awareness.com/theshelf/202...

"All My Life" by K-Ci and JoJo is one of those songs that really punctures the space-time continuum. Is this my middle school dance circa 1998, or a late-night grocery run in Tokyo? Could just as easily be at a gas station in Europe or a godforsaken CVS in suburbia
