A poster for CasiCaviar's Cookie Raffle. It is tan, brown, and orange, with the color profile of chocolate chip cookies. 5 chocolate chip cookies sit to the side of the image, and text fills the right and bottom. The text reads: CASICAVIAR'S COOKIE RAFFLE! A sweet treat for my loving community! 2 Dozen cookies, hand-baked for the winner! Redeem 500 manablooms for 1 ticket every 15 minutes! For every $5 in a donation, you receive one free ticket as a thank-you from me! The drawing will take place in our public Discord server on May 1st!

What's a donothon? The streams just keep on rolling until the funds run out!

I'm shucked. Shucked, I say.

But that would make you a mere husk of yourself.

You have a limited supply. Go slow. And don't check your stool.

Or do. I'm not your dad.

If you're eating your own teeth, you may be needing to wonder about a lot of things in life.

Happy Birthday to @casicaviar.bsky.social! Go watch any amount of the stream, follow and sub.

👑If you have a Prime subscription, you have a free monthly Twitch sub you can use to help an elf out!

I try not to pay attention to his drivel much, but I'll have to watch more closely. You're probably right. He also doesn't really have any talking points that aren't ones he originally had in 2018, so anything new is also likely not his current addled mind.

Happy Easter, everyone! 🤦👊😠

My money's on one of three things:
1) Someone else wrote it (like Miller)
2) He's truly gone off the deep end
3) They're going to claim a "hack" and pull it

Yeah, this one's been weird. He's always unhinged, but this one's a different brand of unhinged. It's calculated, it's cursing (but using that apostrophe in a way I don't think Trump knows how to do). And invoking Allah on Easter Sunday... either nuanced sarcasm or blatant disrespect.

The attacks on Iran have already cost the US government more ( > $40bn) than DOGE ever produced receipts of saving ( $32.5bn).

This, in addition to the estimated ~$410 increase in the cost of living per American household since the attacks began.

But I'm glad we've solved the affordability crisis.

Thanks for the encouragement. This is exactly the struggle I'm fighting through as I write. 44k words in and I still feel like I'm just setting things up.

What's good, folks? Anything at all these days?

Extra sugah

Yeah, I think the key difference for me is that I seek them out actually hoping to give them a bump even if I don't net any extra backers. It's the rising tide mentality.

I'm also trying to connect on Discord or already know what they're about from socials. The cold connections are harder.

I love nearly all of these, but differ severely here. I intentionally seek out other creators to cross-promote with. Sometimes they're larger, but often they're newer creators needing a little bump. Decent vetting doesn't take that long.

One way or the other, good networking can't be frowned upon.

2. Stretch goals are a trap. You're either killing your margins once you're successful, or you're straight up lying to your backers about your real plans. You're also really likely to overextend yourself. Keep it simple.

I do this for colleagues' benefit more than my own. Stop sending me last-minute changes when you already had plenty of opportunity.

Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

Got it in one.

Honestly, comparisons between Mr. Darcy and Emma Frost are fairly easy to make. We just give him a pass because he's a man, while Emma has to work for redemption.

Is it a sequel to Pride and Prejudice

Working on a novel in which the main character has just articulated that he doesn't think optic blasts are the proper way to term Cyclops' power and that it's much more akin to Superman's heat vision. And I blame all of this on @gailsimone.bsky.social

"The power of the people is so much stronger than the people in power." -U2

One thing that being online has taught me is that inside baseball ALWAYS looks the same.

Someone says something terrible? You get the same mix of pissed-off and pissed-off-that-YOU’RE-pissed-off, whether it’s national news or movement rules for Prussian infantry.

The original article smelled fishy when it came out. I'm glad to have heard a closer approximation to the full story. All the best.
