WHAT A GREAT DAY. it is astonishing how cool existence is. endless gratitude. what a blessing

there's clearly no point in scolding most people for their indifference to anti-trans bigotry. the refusal to leave Harry Potter behind, the hemming and hawing about the NYT's puzzles. people won't even put down their toys for us. I cannot express the white-hot frustration boiling in my stomach.

We've been cooking on Remnant Years for ages. Is it the adorable, uncanny, TTRPG of your dreams? Check out our campaign page! resfun.remnantyears.com

Heading to Gen Con tomorrow. Find me and catch up, or talk to me about Remnant Years!

P.S. I would still like for people to read THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST and then look at themselves and be like "I am 30 or 40 years old and I do not need to be the protagonist of a fairytale horror story in a magical forest" us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

the ideal academic life is being an eccentric Victorian lord. Invent a stamp licking machine at 22. Get elected to the Royal Academy for counting the beetles on your estate. Die in an arsenic explosion. The perfect life.

it would be pretty weird if Emily Wilson and Christopher Nolan, who have wildly different skillsets, backgrounds, goals, and media, interpreted the same source text in the same way

I just saw a meme that said “get in losers, we’re reclaiming the emdash”. People. PEOPLE. Where are your STANDARDS? It CLEARLY should be “get in, losers — we’re reclaiming the em dash.”

This is the perfect time to read the entirety of Frederick Douglass’s famous speech, and not merely because of the date on the calendar.

*thousand-yard stare* I am going to throw all my technology into a volcano, forswear electricity and all the trappings of so-called civilization, and move into a cave by the sea where I will write on pieces of dried kelp

If you're getting a bit too worn down by the world, I cannot encourage enough having a ten minute conversation with a seven year old about their special interest.

I have some more £10 per character commissions available now! Please send me a message if you would like to have one, thank you!

Time to kick the elephant out of the room: Yes, I'm one of the people Paizo's laying off, my last day being July 7th. My heart is broken to leave the best team I've ever worked with - a team I've learned so much from. If you know of any game designer or developer openings, I'd love to talk to you.

Alright, formal post time: I’m officially looking for work. I gave myself a few days to process and now it’s time to Virgo up and get moving. I have just about three years of technical editing experience, five years of development experience, and I’ve been writing to spec since 2020.

THE AMISH CHILDREN WILL LEAD THE BUTLERIAN JIHAD

GREG DAVIES: seems like a kind of a shit task. Everyone just seems like they're going home normally. ALEX HORNE: well before you say that let's have a look at how Odysseus did. cut to panel of AJAX, MENELAUS, AGAMEMNON, and DIOMEDES who are all staring at ODYSSEUS with his head in his hands
