Knight: A warlock cursed me to fall in love with my magic sword. Wizard: It’s a lady sword, right? Knight: What? No. It’s a sword. It doesn’t have gender. Wizard: Look, I’ll help you. Does it have eyelashes or, like, sword boobs? Knight: what the fuck are you talking about

Alt: Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein leans poutily on a bench in a photograph styled to look like an oil painting. In lower case: “oh sure blame the guy whose fault it was” and an eye roll emoji.

I saw so many "AI" panels listed for PLA next year which read as just completely tone deaf to me. So much of the culture of AI is directly in opposition to the mission of libraries, not to mention the many many other issues every AI company and model has.

🪐📚💙 Really enjoyed Lives of Bitter Rain, an excellent character study that does a lot to flesh out one of my favorite characters from Days of Shattered Faith and the world of the Tyrant Philosophers.

Back on my Catman bullshit. Thanks as always to @mattlaz1013.bsky.social and Will for having me on!

Running a poll to try and get data on what devices and formats people read TTRPGs in, so designers can make more informed choices. I intend to share the data once I've gotten enough responses, please spread this so we can cover more ground! forms.gle/V7WtvMpAUkJa...

We broke up the banks. We broke up the railroads. We broke up the steel companies. We can break up the media conglomerates. We can break up the tech conglomerates. We've done it before. We can do it again.

Your fantasy art greats be like: Moebius: Ligne claire! But Imma hatch too, when I feel like it. And LSD! Kirby: Dynamic AF! Anatomy? Bend it like Kirby, baby! Frazetta: A lot more vibes based than you might think. Light sources? Pfah! Who cares where the light comes from. Look at these butts!

and what rough beast, its hour come at last, glorches towards Bethlehem

sam altman is trying to find the guy who did this

i met anubis in the realm of the underworld, big strong guy by the way, had a dog’s head, i’m not so sure about that. and he said to me, mr president, you’ve got the heaviest soul we’ve ever weighed down here. can you believe it? they’ve never seen a soul that heavy in all of duat

Everybody's like "where's Trump" but I haven't seen Akira Yoshida in YEARS and don't hear a peep about it

Reposting as we're about a month out from release. The Rising World books feel so relevant now, and Queen Demon keeps the thematic strengths of Witch King and doubles down 💙📚🪐

August's free 1-page RPG is It Didn't Say Anywhere In The Rules That A Dog COULDN'T Play Basketball, a harrowing experience of being beaten at sports by a golden retriever that shows up 30 years later to ruin your second wedding. Patrons get it a week early here: www.patreon.com/posts/136764...

Be careful, there is a new scam going around. If you see a wooden box filled with food, DON'T GO IN. A wall will fall behind you and you'll be stuck.

Book Review - Queen Demon by Martha Wells toomanythoughts.blog/2025/08/07/b... Had the chance to read Queen Demon (thanks @netgalley.bsky.social) and it's every bit as good as Witch King.

Had a blast on this week's BatChat! Check it out to find out more about the threat of Nuclear Armed Teens.

In my experience there are three kinds of fantasy magic novels:

People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse

the enemy of my enemy is not my friend but watching them smack each other in the nuts is still very funny

Have a look at some spooky Alien Core monstars! We got the Garaggakal and a Void Palm. A big ass gun and a living dimensional rift. Eternal suffering pirate and turbo fascism. Big tax collecting BMO and soul yoinkin' space fey!

Now for some upcoming Pathfinder monsties! We've got legally distinct mimic and stone guy Fey trickster and Cthulhu fishman Algothu memory yoinker and corpse bug swarm And WHAT IS HELL EVEN THAT and a cute rune dragon~!

i don't wanna alarm anyone but Discord is implementing a feature that spawns a hostile kobold that hits you really hard on the shin with a golf club without telling you and you have to manually disable it

Rant #TheWheelOfTime #wotskies

Hey, this sucks. Season three really felt like Wheel of Time had hit its stride, finding a good balance between adaptation and reinvention. Finding out that we'll never see what comes of that is a disservice to everyone who made that happen.

Had a blast as always on BatChat! Check it out if you want to hear about some very fun (one deeply weird) stories.

Bugs Bunny Addresses The Allegations Directly

I had such big plans to get back into writing this year and those have just been torpedoed by the stress of *everything*. Taking a social media break for a bit so I can get some momentum going again.

It is genuinely wild that WotC, a subsidiary of Hasbro and located in fucking Washington State, somehow cannot manage to make one (1) successful piece of software

every damn time

Hey happy Ides of March, Caesar. Me and the gang would love to take you out to lunch. Fuddruckers good? We just wanna have some laughs, get a few few beers, stab, try their burger bar. …Which word?

"I'm not paying $20 for something I might only play once" Weird because you'll pay it for a bottle of wine you only get to drink once or a movie you only see in the cinema once or a concert you only go to once or half a tank of gas you only get to drive with once or or or or or

I have been astonishingly, frustratingly unproductive over the past month. The combo of the political moment and a really stressful time at my day job has just sapped a lot of energy. Fortunately I just bought Cities Skylines, so I'll soon have a less (?) depressing reason to be unproductive.

If you're looking to participate in the #TransRightsReadathon, here's a giant list of trans authors who would love your support.

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality

Professor X: Hold, old friend. If you wish to take this military base hostage, you first must kill these five fifteen year olds I found. Magneto: for fuck’s sake, Charles.

Batman Odyssey broke my brain, but I had a great time talking about it!

Very excited about what came in the mail today! I backed @humanoids.com Kickstarter for an English translation of Arkadi and the Lost Titan last year, and could not be happier with the result. I can't wait to dig in!
