I’m gonna say virtually all authors need to get serious about textiles. Who is weaving them? Out of what? Who’s turning them into clothes and how much does it cost and do you have any idea how HARD all of that was before modern mills

To write in the classic high fantasy mould, you need not be hung up on food specifically, but there must be SOME very mundane thing you're sincerely interested in and prepared to describe in excruciating detail every time it comes up. Clothing. Furniture. Architecture. It doesn't work without it.

How to Draw and Octopus RETURNS to @sandiegocomic-con.bsky.social Saturday July 25, 1:30-2:30pm How To Room 3 (more info in alt text) Feat guests SS Julian @octopolis.bsky.social, Danna Staaf, Ph.D. @dannastaaf.bsky.social and Kassandra Cruz @xjosuecruz.bsky.social #comics #SDCC2026 #comiccon

A graphic promoting a workshop panel at San Diego Comic Con 2026 featuring portraits of the three artists and cephalopod artwork from the artists. How to Draw and Octopus RETURNS to San Diego Comic Con! Saturday July 25, 1:30-2:30pm How To Room 3 Pop culture is full of cephalopod characters, from Squidward to Doc Ock, but how accurate is their anatomy? SS Julian @ssjulian (Octopolis), Danna Staaf, Ph.D. @dannajoystaaf (Monarchs of the Sea, The Lady and the Octopus), and Kassandra Cruz @xjosuecruz (Puppy Knights) share the art of drawing octopods. The panel explores why cephalopods fascinate us, how to combine true anatomy with engaging character design, and practical techniques for committing these elusive invertebrates to ink while avoiding the abyss of artificially hallucinated reference material. Drawing supplies will be provided, but attendees may also bring their own.

Mamdani: "As we mark 250 years ... we see the wealthiest country -- one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more ... we see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans"

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.
