2026 is going to be my year and that is a threat (I listened to Hopes and Dreams on repeat making this)

There is nothing better to me than watching someone get better at their craft over the course of time. I love watching people grow so much You guys did so much this year Be proud of yourselves You created in a world that is trying to make us fail and that my friend is amazing 🎉 🎉🎉

This feels like good practice. “When her daughter falls in debt to a crime boss, Zaya has to get back into the underground dragon-racing scene to pay it off.” Needs work, probably. 📚💙

In the myriadic year of Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, Gideon Nav packed her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and she escaped from the House of the Ninth.

Merry Christmas fam!

If you've never checked out Kaleidotrope's starter packs of the fantastic authors and artists who've appeared in the zine over the years, now would be a good time to do so, since they've just been updated—and not just so I can finally pin a new post to my profile that doesn't have a typo in it! 😜

I was watching that one legal comedy drama show on Fox. Call it Achilles McBeal

I was swimming by a coral reef and a moray bit me on the back of the foot. Call him my Achilles eel

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:

HERE’S WHAT YOU DO FOR DISCOUNT DRAGON BOOKS a thread 🧵

Here’s why you shouldn’t pull your punches as a writer: A big part of the appeal of a book is how dedicated the author is to their idea. That crackling energy only comes from compulsion, the true driver of creativity. Restrain it at your own peril.

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

He says he wants to kill us He says it very often Just let him know you love him His attitude will soften Let’s wait a little while Let’s wait a little longer The enemy is gaining strength Let’s wait until he’s stronger

In speech it’s best—though not the only way— Indeed, the best at times can be the worst— Though often I… as I had meant to say: Qualify later; state the premise first.

Jesus, I shouldn't be here, much less talking, but: Left-leaning folks caping for the man from Maine should have a look at what they said about l'affaire "Roman salute." Maine will make its choice, and it'll be him or it won't. The rest of us need to not get in the habit of making excuses.

I can’t believe all the people who said I need to “get güd!” at video games want me to be ok with using A.I. to make “art”

me and the boys heard you was talking shit

BRIMSTONE SLIPSTREAM, a free-to-read novella-length introduction to the fantastical city of Yemareir and its illegal underground dragon-racing scene through the relatable medium of uh long-form magazine journalism, it's a good book though, I'm better at books than social media I PROMISE 💙📚

Near the top of Taipei 101 (the 11th tallest building in the world) sits its tuned mass damper, a 660-ton steel ball designed to help the building sway in typhoon-force winds without breaking in half. It is surrounded by a team of damper babies. So very cool.

Roses are red, Violets are good luck,

AI is going great, exhibit N:

Roses are red, Violets like the rain,
