Friends, I'm wishing for you days filled with love and warmth and hope - they all seem in such short supply lately. ❄️🎄🦌

Day nineteen of #ArtAdventCalendar. Tonight, I’m sharing a collection of raven stones.

I handpainted this wedding set a while ago and it was killing me to keep it a secret. Now I can finally share it with you! 💐 The dice were a gift for the bride and based on bridal bouquet inspos💗 #handmadedice | #handpainteddice | #dnd | #ttrpg

Tales & Feathers...on a podcast? 👀 It's true! Unknown Worlds of the Merril Collection interviewed our former Co-EIC @yilinwriter.bsky.social and current Managing Director @andregeleynse.com about cozy fantasy & slice-of-life fiction! It's a wonderful discussion, we're honoured to be on the podcast!

HELLO I'm on a podcast?? This is very exciting but also listening to my own voice is physically painful actually? How do people do this on a regular basis and survive??

We are experiencing a more severe than usual flu season and COVID rates are starting to rise. If you want to reduce your chances of getting sick, one of the most effective things you can do is wear a high quality mask. 🤫

(I know that’s actually not a permanent solution and pretending bad things aren’t happening is not a great survival strategy in the long run, but there was nothing I could do about it now.)

movie you've watched more than six times (gif version). No LOTR, Star Wars, Marvel, Disney The last time I did this I said Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters and that is still the objectively best/funniest answer, but this one - somewhat annoyingly - also fulfils these qualifications

This. Whenever local government reviews the library budget and asks, "Why should we give you money?" We want the library to be able to say, "Because we provide a valuable service used by many people!" Libraries are like muscles, using them more makes them stronger. 💪

Ranking Star Wars movies has once again reminded me that A) Star Wars fans are far too belligerent about what other fans enjoy, calm DOWN, and B) so many people have Wrong Opinions about Star Wars I AM PART OF THE PROBLEM

What You Should Read Next Based on Your Favourite TTRPG Actual Play: An Incomplete List in No Particular Order

✨ AWARDS ELIGIBILITY POST TIME! ✨ I published ONE story in 2025: LAST TRAIN FROM DEADWALL is my Weird novelette about diesel-powered skeletons, dinosaur bone trains, warring gods, & capitalist horror. It's wacky fun! It's Locus recommended! I'd be honoured if you considered it in your nominations!

I think the painted version of this drawing turned out okay. 👉👈This was done in watercolors, with graphite, gouache and chalk pastel finishing touches.

Tonight's listening, thanks to the algorithm 🎶👺🌈 www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzYD...

It is the first day of November and so, today, someone will die.

Progress shot for this watercolor and graphite piece I’m working on. I haven’t had to start over from scratch again yet, which is nice 😅

Cracked open the copy of the Year's Best Canadian F&SF Vol. 3 I just picked up at Can*Con, only to discover my little cat necromancy story got an honourable mention! 🙀 Big thanks for the shout-out @ourmankoto.bsky.social!! Hugely appreciate the work you do putting these anthologies together.

Sir, that's my EMOTIONAL SUPPORT socially awkward tall person ❤️❤️❤️

Aquarius: Some good old fashioned rest and relaxation would do a world of good for your physical and mental well-being. Oh well.

There was woodland stew with chestnut and acorn dumplings, hot nutbread spread with a paste made from beechnuts, an acorn salad, and a huge raspberry crumble. The crumble was a great favorite with the little ones, who spread it thick with honey.

Work sucks. Read my story about this guy who doesn't want to be at work anymore.

Come for the screenplay exerpts, stay for the character- & plot-development rabbithole.

What would have been helpful was an episode of Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon. Or World Hoppers. Or anything. (Anything except MedCenter Argala.) But media would calm me down, and I wanted to stay angry.

This would have all been a lot easier if I wasn’t so worried about the stupid humans.

STAMPEDE!!!

One more tiny painting for day 14 of #septempera - mulot sur pomme.

Day 11 of #septempera - acorn thief. I managed to keep things pretty loose so I'm happy 😊

ALSO would you like to look at some moss & lichen I saw when I was going between two buildings before lunchtime. This place is SO GREAT for things growing on stone I cannot even TELL you.

Just found a spider in the washroom at work - trapped it in a free (NEW) dental dam package in the "take what you need" hygiene supplies basket and released it outside. I feel like I've experienced everything I need to as a college employee now.

HOLD UP my story is recommended in Locus?? 😱 INCREDIBLY honoured to be on this list! Thank you so much @cypayseur.bsky.social for the kind words!! Gonna go scream about his for a bit!!!

brb only using fluorescents for winter sunsets from here on out #gouache

ALSO for all you #TinyTalesTuesday aficionados, be sure to check out our Augur Microfiction Contest this month! Three prizes to be won, including a $75 honorarium and publication in Augur Magazine! 😍

Day 08 of #septempera - a frog going though some stuff. Wanted to do something moodier and misty but the cooler tones got away from me and the painting got a bit too dark so I added some pastels.

Crow Time - Flat [Part 2/3]

I'd have a wedge of yellow cheese, the one with roasted chestnut flakes in it, and one, no two, of Friar Bobb's fresh wheat farls, straight from the oven.
