Last few days for my friend @jcandrijeski.com's romantasy kickstarter! Just some gorgeous art here!! I'm madly taking notes on how a kickstarter is run because this is some impressive stuff... www.kickstarter.com/projects/jca...

Me: You are so smart. I've trained you well. Anica: Yep. I'm ready to be a dad. Me: No, you're ready to rule the world. Anica: Same thing.

3385 - I'm thankful Joel dealt with the rat that Korra decided to bring into the house (so I didn't have to, ugh). #gratitude

3384 - I'm very thankful for U2. #gratitude www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3zi...

U2 just released a EP of songs about Ukraine, Iran, Gaza and Minneapolis and they sound more engaged than they have in years: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

3383 - I'm thankful that I had some time to write (600 words) and, in doing so, learned even more about how I have kind of become broken for writing (which will be critical in figuring out how to heal from it). #gratitude #AmWriting #MentalHealth

I think a lot about the future, especially how things are ever gonna change for the better. Good news: It's already happening. How? Today on the blog: www.adamheine.com/2026/02/how-...

Heine => HY-nah

No. If someone makes a movie of my work, it’s because that someone was a human who found something in the work that spoke to them — and that they felt would be a story that spoke to a whole AUDIENCE of actual humans.

3382 - I'm thankful that there was SO MUCH leftover pizza that my teens hadn't eaten it all by the time I wanted lunch. #gratitude

CBS wouldn't allow Colbert to air this interview on TV. So, you know, it'd be a shame if a lot of people saw it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiTJ...

I love this.

Beautiful and difficult. I'm so glad this exists.

3381 - I'm thankful my wife has gifted my daughters to be such beautiful dancers. #gratitude

3380 - I'm thankful I got somewhere new in Crystal Project. Exploring in this game is... even more involved than I thought. #gratitude

3379 - I'm thankful for reminiscint conversations with friends from my generation. #gratitude

Post a banger that isn't in English. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYV-...

3378 - I only really know Gamera from MST3K, and I'm thankful that the series GAMERA: REBIRTH was additionally entertaining because of that. #gratitude www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXkM...

This is the most comprehensive, practical, objective look at the Trump–Epstein files I've seen yet. I feel a twinge of hope. This is the kind of thing the internet was made for. If you're an armchair data warrior, this may be a way that you can help make a difference in all of this.

3377 - I'm thankful for walks with my wife that turn into unexpected encounters with additional loved ones. #gratitude

That's one sassy dog. I love him.

3376 - I'm thankful for people in my life to whom I can just word vomit my thought processes and they get it. #gratitude

There's nothing in the rules that says a dog can't play Olympics.

I started reading Penny Arcade back at Black Isle Studios in '99. A lot of us did. Until recently, I didn't realize quite how much inspiration I had directly absorbed from Mike and Jerry over the years. It's A LOT.

this looks slick as hell

Conservatives: Americans won't enjoy a song that's not English! Me: *stares in La Bamba* Me: *stares in Macarena* Me: *stares in Gangnam Style*

3375 - I'm thankful for the feeling that I'm good at what I do. It's not always there, but dang it feels good when it is. #gratitude

Every once in a while the internet becomes that truly silly delightful thing it once was. Like this.

3374 - I'm thankful that the great Matt Mercer, DM to the stars, *also* forgets what he named things or what words he's looking for and feels comfortable saying so in front of his players (and like thousands of viewers). Means I definitely can. #gratitude #TTRPG

OMG so much this

3373 - I'm thankful for a long-overdue date with Sam. #gratitude

3372 - I'm thankful that even at almost 16, Anica's curiosity and willingness to listen to my long-winded explanations has only gone down VERY slightly. #gratitude

PA FRIENDS: fight this abomination of warehouses being turned into ICE detention centers — 2 in Eastern PA! Petition against the proposed Big Lots torture prison: www.change.org/p/the-northe... STAND UP, FIGHT BACK organizational call: www.mobilize.us/pastandsup/e...

this is what delightful humanity looks like we can have this we can but we'll have to change a whole lot of things to get there

3371 - For a variety of reasons, I only recently read the last chapter I wrote of a WIP I haven't touched in a long time. I'm thankful that parts of it were actually kinda cool. #gratitude #AmWriting

Every time I see Mike Johnson speaking, I expect him to tell me where to mail $20 so he can pray on my behalf.

Incredible.

1) The Epstein files didn't happen. 2) The Epstein files happened, but it's not that bad. 3) We're in the files, but it's not a big deal. <-- YOU ARE HERE 4) So it's a big deal, but it wasn't our fault. 5) Maybe it was our fault, but we didn't mean it. 6) Fine, we meant it, but you deserved it.

Every American needs to watch this:

3370 - I'm thankful for Netflix's documentary HITLER AND THE NAZIS: EVIL ON TRIAL. I highly recommend it. Aside from just knowing history (which is vital), I believe it's critical to see how current events are similar to—and different from—what began in Germany ~100 years ago. #gratitude

I wrote a bit for this too. If narrative game design is something you're interested in, check this out.

"How do I get my novel published?" "How do I learn to draw?" "How do I cure my anxiety?" "How do I stop fascism?" We are constantly searching for a silver bullet, when the real answer is always the same: "Just keep doing the work."

If you follow me, you know how broken I am about all the gaslighting, propaganda, and disinformation that divides us. I don't know if we can solve it, but maybe this is a step. Today on the blog: www.adamheine.com/2026/02/so-y...

3369 - I'm thankful for some really crazy insightful conversations about race in the otherwise romantic comedy FRANKLY IN LOVE by David Yoon. #gratitude

Here, @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social expresses what I have been feeling lately, pretty much word for word (including at least a tiny shred of hope): www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnEA...

Imagine what would happen if even one of these cosplayers could admit, even for a second, that their feelings were hurt.
