I read a wild and entertaining book last week called The Loudest Place on Earth by Ken Ziegler. #books It's a weird mishmash of genres: a little horror (rats), a little literary, a lot of humor, and a bunch of urban fantasy. I'm always on the hunt for strange and original work--and this is it!

Meet My Books: Greeks Bearing Gifts—a “Twilight Zone” meets Stephen King horror novella (spooky, not scary) Outlaws—a contemporary retelling of the Robin Hood legend with Robin and his Merry Men as homeless veterans 📚💙 #Booksky www.ilenegoldman.com/books

Hey! I released a new #game today. :) It's a competitive 2-player dice game using a shoebox lid and an inch. Playtesting was fast and furious, and we had a blast with it. Just print and play! abetterjulie.itch.io/shoebox-dice

This is my attempt at self promotion. I did some filming for this week’s vlog going up on my YouTube channel. These are some of the cast members for my first children’s book! It’s based on one of my favourite Palestinian folktales. Join me over there for more! youtube.com/@soniasulaim...

Fleshed out the new game for March, and started the art for the accompanying zine. I have 15 days to create 10 comic pages, roll up numbers and balance, playtest, and print. Let's goo! Husband suggested a game supplement that would require 40 descriptions...I'll think about it.

Long live 2D animation (& practical effects).

Pencil portrait of Ray, office cleaner. He was delighted with this and took it away so before he disappeared with it I photocopied it (this is from the photocopy). I wonder if he still has it?

Spent the morning running all over the internet looking at art and influences. Did you know they can transfer a fresco to a canvas? Did you know that Woman on a Balcony was not made by DuChamp, although it was made the same year? Did you know that H.R. Giger made an homage of Isle of the Dead?

I've updated my storefront, and if anyone wants the measurements on those four new shawls, I can go remeasure them. But not today. #crochet jkathleencheney.storenvy.com

I'm pleased to announce that my solarpunk/climate fiction collection, Different Kinds of Defiance, has a new cover art by Hugo finalist @dntlz.bsky.social! I can't express how happy I am with the final result. You can find the new edition in the usual places. 🔆

SQUEEE!!! My wee squid babies!!

Breaking: ICE is now reportedly following white people on grocery runs in Minnesota, suspecting they're delivering food to neighbors too afraid to leave their homes. Neighborhood instructions: Don't put the address in your phone. Don't use GPS. Write it on paper. And if you get stopped, eat it.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Finally playing #Road96, and it's intense and riveting. Political narrative where your choices can mean life or death, not just for you but for the teens who come after you. Can you get your teen runaways to the border and freedom? Can you change the world? Highly recommend. #videogames

Today's #art practice. I'm learning the chalk brush. The reference was the Golden Oriole from a Smithsonian collection.

While remaining on her head, the witch's pointy hat turns inside out. Like a nail burrowed into her skull—she is empty, a black velvet cup, catching the oaths that fall from the late bleak sky

I have repaired the worm. I have repaired the worm in the kintsugi style. There is gold between its dismantled selves—gold flesh, as soft as the moist soil-sprites. It lives again, and it is whole

Brutalist doves have evolved to blend in with the cold concrete archways. To watch them launch from the overpass is mystical: it appears the bridge is crumbling upwards

Anyone who’s ever lived in or visited NYC will feel the benefits of this. Which is a lot of people.

36 people have died at ICE's hands in the past year may of these deaths did not happen on camera, but it does not make them any less horrifying and unacceptable this is a list of their names, where they lived before being abducted, and a link to crowdfunding if i can find it
