All of the above. Though my “art” these days is mostly baking. Three cheesecakes in a month isn’t TOO much, is it?!

Your daily affirmation:
The world is a messy place, but it's not up to you to clean it all. Just try to tidy one tiny corner if you can.

This... makes me so sad. 😔 I loved my college experience. I loved LEARNING. I still do. Going through all my boxes of books and papers to downsize this past few weeks, I've realized that I learned something valuable even from the (very few) classes that I didn't enjoy. But here we are. 🥺

People who know more about AI art find it less ethical When people understand the system and process behind AI art, its moral implications become harder to accept

You don’t say.

Just a little reminder that our physical edition of Tiny Bookshop is coming out on April 10! 📚✨

All pre-orders are LIVE, so you can grab yourself a Nintendo Switch or PlayStation 5 copy 🙌🏼

Who is ready for this!?

Don't let your past define you.
Let your future deeds define you, and make sure they include moss draped antlers, a creepy unblinking gaze, and legends of how an ancient horror terrified townsfolk away from the ragged edge of the forest.

You know me so well.

Hey there!

I'm writing an article about C-PTSD and puzzles. I would love to speak to creators who have C-PTSD and how puzzles (video-games, TTRPG, or physical ones) helped YOU navigate it. 🧡

Please DM or email me at tess@goodtrouble.team to get in touch!

So sorry. My heart hurts for you. :(

Finally, two of my favorite accounts have reached an inevitable intersection. Most amazing novelist @tkingfisher.com and Little Cow in a Cape @beyondmeatofficial.bsky.social REALLY need to know each other. :)

In times of strife, it's good to remember that you're not alone.
There are many moss goblins, twig witches, and other shadowy creatures of the forest out here shambling along as best we can.
Take comfort in that.

I have never run to my Switch as fast as I did just now. :D

I feel, perhaps predictably, strongly about this. If you also do, this post shows a way to steer your borrowing with Libby to books with a real person doing the audiobook reading.

I have had this movie pretty much memorized for... oh, forty years! 😂 One of my all-time favorites. Time for a rewatch. <3

A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls.

Hey guys, it's great that the author is giving us, not just an alternative to Amazon, but a unionized alternative. And lots of you like that. But since there is no algorithm here, liking her post doesn't really help very much, but reposting it does.

I’m a novelist who’s just bought a video games company. Here’s why you should care about games writing | The Observer

just incredibly thrilled to announce that after months and months of uncertainty over the future of the game, and several I have bought Zombies, Run!, the game I co-created and have been making for the past 12 years:

Wonderful game! Everyone should buy it! 💕📚

This is gorgeous, and as an added bonus, is extremely @tkingfisher.com coded!

Learning in school is not enough. You must continue to teach yourself throughout your life. Study history, read myths, memorize poems, get acquainted with the greatest philosophers & writers. In an age when tech is cooking many brains, we need an army of autodidacts.

Remember, you are not alone.
Your community is out there.
Find them in quiet bookstores & noisy cafes.
Find them shambling in mossy forests.
Find them haunting crumbling castles on the coast, under the dim light of stars.

dismantling the centre till it cannot hold: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!

when the blood-dimmed tide is loosed: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

Witch library and also explosion at the YARN store! One can never have too many books. Or too much yarn.

another reminder to Canadians and our friends in the USA that most of our easily accessible "news" sources are corporate entities that probably answer either to the guy who owns The National Enquirer or Rupert Murdoch

Please take the time to seek out independent journalists who haven't given up
