The Night Circus turns 15 this year, somehow, and the US paperback from Vintage Books is getting a gorgeous new look for the occasion. Cover design by Madeline Partner with art by the incomparable @alexeckmanlawn.bsky.social (who also did the art for the US paperback of The Starless Sea) 🖤🎪🖤

I am kind of good at many things Writer, machinist, singer, artist, mechanic when absolutely necessary All people have the right to freedom of expression, freedom to self-identity, and freedom to speak their mind, so long as they aren't harming others

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"
You’ve probably seen this painting 5 times already, but now you can have your very own! Prints & the original will be available this week. First dibs for my email list on Wednesday 2pm PT (24 hours later for everyone else). We Love You From The Moon 🩶 oil on panel (Artemis II mission)

Wait!! God damn it!! Contact info on my portfolio site: www.agbouskila.com And I need to say: you can't really call it an honour to be employed, but it WAS an honour to work alongside such sharp, thoughtful, experienced peers. Bungie team, thank you for everything. I'll really, really miss you.
Destiny’s lore has been routinely saved by preservationists. With support ending on Destiny 2, their work becomes even more crucial. We speak to some of those responsible for archiving years’ worth of Bungie storytelling, including MyNameIsByf and the people behind the Ishtar Collective.
The Destiny Story is Over, but Community Archivists Ensure the Lore Lives On

Destiny is so much more than a game. It's a home, a friend, a story of immense proportions. Destiny is love, a decade of memories. Destiny is the life people lived while they played it. I wish leadership could see how important all of that is. Destiny is all of us. Thank you, everyone. #destiny2
I’m tired of reposting this. ❤️🩹 here if anyone needs help with job search, keeping organized, etc. Please, take care of yourselves. 🖤
Something that helped me keep sane when I had to look for work was having a spreadsheet where I could keep every detail of job applications in one place. I updated it in 2024 & made a template, anyone can use it by clicking File > Make a Copy. 🔹 tinyurl.com/8vc5nwmn
Well, I've been affected by the Bungie layoffs, and I guess I'm now looking for work. I'm a senior narrative designer on Destiny 2. I'm going to thread a little list of stuff I've done on the game; normally I go out of my way to avoid attention, but today I'd appreciate reposts.
Bungie folks impacted by the layoffs: please let me know if you see anything on our careers page that is a fit for you. I will gladly help with application advice and recommendations: www.cdprojektred.com/en/jobs

I started this journey as a fan of destiny, and it led me to becoming a developer and working on it. It has been the honor of a lifetime. Thank you, all, for letting me contribute to something that means a lot to me, in my own way. I hope I did you all proud. I hope it was enough.
From May 21st to June 9th 2026 I've been living with a sword hanging over my head, waiting to drop. I love Destiny. I'll be here for today and for the rest of Destiny 2, however long that is. I hope the destiny world continues on! I'll always be here when it does. Per Audacia Ad Astra, Guardians.
I am paid to solve complex problems in a machining/manufacturing environment Me when there is a problem: damn who was dumb enough to let that get past inspection. What knucklehead programmed this. Someone should fix that 🤡
Maya. You've come a long way, from tractor canon lore to the bright rivers of Nessus, to reuniting with your wife. To me, destiny is you. You've been more than a mirror. Rent free, as they say, but I think I should be the one thanking you for keeping me here. #D2Legacy #PerAudaciaAdAstra #Destiny2
