My ⭐⭐⭐⭐ review of 'Resonance' by @kipauthor.bsky.social A powerful and moving short story. #Books #Reading #ShortStory #BookSky www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Looking forward to painting this 28mm scale #miniature from Vae Victis made by Minijenix. Going to use it as #Geralt from #TheWitcher in a little diorama with a #ghoul (using a GW model). #MiniaturePainting #TableTopGames

I am going to tell you right now that despite all the turmoil and pain we are going to win. Things will get better and the world will become kinder because we will rebuild it that way. We will carry hope and use it to craft a beautiful new gentle world. We are going to win.
