Trying to decide if the quilt pattern I’m trying to follow was written by a person who doesn’t sew many quilts or if they used AI to do it. Because no reasonable human would do it the way it’s written.

Having a real "disappear into the woods" kind of day. Except it's too hot.
I just got a preview of some really cool art from my dear friend @philrood.bsky.social. It's an experiment, something he doesn't normally do, and it's fantastic. It's messy and human and weird and wonderful. A true balm to my soul after the constant sandpaper of AI generated slop. I fucking love it.
Surely Samsung putting ‘Weekend at Bernie’s” right up front in the summer movie section can’t be a coincidence, right?
I don’t particularly have favorite anythings (aside from a favorite movie), as my preferences can vary wildly based off of mood and situation. However, I have never picked up a @tkingfisher.com book and not been utterly entranced immediately.
Tomorrow starts my birthday month. You can help me celebrate by buying my TTRPG, Daemon Eater. You can grab it from @ipr.bsky.social www.indiepressrevolution.com/xcart/Daemon...

Our favorite part of promotion. Begging. For better or worse, ratings and reviews are the lifeblood of selling creative work. We love making Achewillow and sharing it with all of you. And we want to keep doing it for as long as we can. Two minutes out of your day can help.
You know what goes well with a cup of coffee? A good book! But what if you've already finished A Dash of Demon? We'd really appreciate it if you left us a review. Doesn't matter where. Reviews are important to help get the book noticed, and the more the book gets noticed, the faster we get Book 2.
Having a hard time picking a favorite song to post in memory of Glen Hansard, so I’ll pick the one I listen to on loop when I’m having big feelings. youtu.be/FKSpHHaPapk?...

Keep having to talk my brain out of the "buy something" dopamine hit. We all know it won't work. But what if it works this time?
Brie was just crying in her sleep 😭 I wonder what she was dreaming about. Sometimes she sleep eats, and that’s always my favorite.
I guess now that I’m not just running out to grab thread at Joann’s, I may actually care about what thread I use…
I was leaving the grocery store as a gaggle of broccoli hair boys was headed in. They clearly thought they were going to shock the middle aged lady in her quilting t-shirt by loudly declaring “What if we had a gay orgy?” To which this middle aged lady replied “Just be safe, boys.”
When you hear a false equivalency so bad that your brain doesn’t process it at the time, so instead it wakes you up at 2am so you can be mad all over again.
Daniel Craig coming out of the water in Casino Royale made me audibly gasp in the movie theater. I have never lived it down.

there is a recurring prompt around what’s the best that anyone has ever looked on camera and I never have an answer but I’m watching right now and I think it’s gotta be George Clooney in Ocean’s 11
Just on the off chance that I’ve never stated this before, GenAI is a cancer that will rot everything it touches. Happy to clear that up.

I am growing increasingly obsessed with the idea of taking up cyanotype printing.
Update: Turns out everything is a little bit easier when you can see.
Everyone clap, I made an eye appointment for Saturday.
These ugly ass AI flyers are going to send me over the edge, I swear.
I would like to explain to Brie that just because the sun was up at 5:30 does not mean we also have to be.
I love Auntie Donna’s Boys. They’re like if my nephews were Australian.
When you can identify which of your characters is speaking by the wave form of their dialog audio...
I love hummingbirds. It can be absolutely down pouring, thunder and lightning, and they 100% do not care. They are getting their sugar water.
