RIP to Dr. Jane Goodall, you did some amazing work and your WTF episode was so cool!

Jane Goodall lived up to her name. She was an inspiration and a force for good. "Inspired a Stevie Nicks song and believed Bigfoot could be real" is a hell of a headline. I don't often cry when famous people pass. I'm crying today. The world lost some light. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

#OctoberWorldbuilders day 1 The planet of Oliander is mostly desert and volcanoes with some oceans, but... I mostly focus on the desert in book 1, so I'll stick with that~ It's a black sand desert due to eons of ash mixing with sand.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

Just a reminder that Freydis Moon's new book is going to released tomorrow and that they are NOT Latinx or Mexican. They are a serial Brownfisher who loves to appropriate and steal from BIPOC people and be a cyberbully on top of that. Please give your money to real Latinx Authors instead.

#SciFiSeptember day 28 I just added this little guy with my edits the other day, so yeah, here's a small robot mention XD

Timeline cleanser 🐈

#TBBChat Thank you for hosting it! :D I'm still working on final edits for my epic space fantasy, so instead, come join me and my friends tonight, around 5 PST, as we stream Trails in the Sky~ www.twitch.tv/triplets_of_...

#TBBChat question 4 First of all, it would be animated. I'm struggling so hard with deciding English VAs, but I have a list of potential Japanese ones?? ...and my MC is hard to decide either way. For English, all I can say is that possibly Emi Lo for Koujaku and Caleb Pierce for Ritos. (1/2)

#TBBChat question 3 Funniest? I have no idea 😅😅 But back when this story idea was going to be a fanfic, it was typical fantasy world... Now it's hard to imagine the characters dealing with that, especially imagining things like Marty not having her phone to take pictures with 😅

#TBBChat question 2 Entertain You by Within Temptation fits their whole thing against the demon lord so well~ Really, a lot of songs by Within Temptation fit well >.>'' Then I2I from A Goofy Movie really fits book 1's main conflict well~ And Only One Story from Pokemon Horizons fits the MC :D

#TBBChat question 1 I would first of all, hire artists to draw stuff for me. A galaxy map, demon designs, updated character designs... 💕 Just lots of art. Though if money really wasn't an obstacle, I'd totally get it made into a game or anime >.>''

Hey~ I'm Niki, and I write young adult fantasy/sci-fi~ I'm a gamer who especially loves RPGs. Currently, I'm playing (or well, just barely started) Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, so yeah~ I'm excited to finally see what that series is like :D

MY WYVERN REVIEWS HAVE A PERMANENT HOME NOW! @5feetofredfury.bsky.social @azshure.bsky.social and @carmenloup.com, I'm proud to tell you three that my yapping about your books will be on Grimoire Ink from now on!

I did some editing with my friends, which for me, is kinda like writing since I always have to add stuff 😅 Here's one of the adds with Sakris and Koujaku snarking each other~ And gonna try to do some actual writing today, too :D

This is what happens when my friends edit for me sometimes 😂

I'm part of this, so please come join us tomorrow! :D We have a lot of fun commenting on games~

This is the man that ICE just detained. This isn't about catching criminals, it is about Ethnic cleansing www.iowapublicradio.org/news-from-np...

As Netanyahu addresses the United Nations in New York City this morning, the world recoils in horror at the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Also, a lovely shoutout to @aimeecozza.com for the lovely Human Made Badge that I keep using on my official website. More folks honestly need to see it and use that everywhere, IMO. aimeecozza.com/human-made/

“I use it for brainstorming.” is quickly becoming my most hated pro-AI statement. YOU TOOK YOUR BRAIN OUT OF THE EQUATION. THAT IS NOT BRAINSTORMING.

Apparently I'm confusing my friend with how I like cream cheese, but hate cheesecake.

You don't have to like it, consume it, or engage with it. That's cool. Nothing is for everyone. But don't leave other artists and creators behind. Support each other. We're all the same, bro.

I'm not really the guy to go to for this, I just learned about this change. But I can say it's bullshit. People shouldn't have to worry about what they're allowed and not allowed to post. So Berserk would be banned content too? Get the fuck out of here bro. Let people express themselves.

I take a 5 day break from social media and see bluesky updated the TOS to implement more censorship. "Oh, but it doesn't affect me." Bro, do you think it's just an immovable line? Like it won't affect other things? I don't want some clownass mods deciding what's good or not. People's art is valid.

#SciFiSeptember day 24 In the city Lotaval on the planet Kridon, there's a particularly advanced security system... but it still isn't quite an AI. I'd say it's more of an odd case like the talking glasses, but different.

#SciFiSeptember day 22 That's the question the crew's faced with when they find Nanashi, a pair of glasses who can talk and seems to think and act more like a person than any AI they've ever seen. So, questions of what he is aside, there's typically not any real AI in their universe.

#SciFiSeptember day 21 The resident mechanic has a special manatech ball made for a number of uses~

#SciFiSeptember day 19 While most manatech--technology using magic to function--is safe and common, there have been harmful versions in the past that have threatened to drain too much mana from the world around it.

#SciFiSeptember day 17 There are ways~ A character named Lodiel has a mechanical leg... though he usually wears pants, so I haven't had a chance to show it yet. He carries a cane with him 'cause it's not perfect, especially with the weight of it. And overall, society's typically chill about it.

#SciFiSeptember day 18 Finally getting back to this 😅 But the Baloran--the ship the main crew uses--definitely isn't top of the line. And while most demons use a limiter to hide their demon forms, Victor has a faulty one that leaves his scales showing on half his face.

LAST 24 HOURS TO SUPPORT THE CHARITY As we approach the last 24 hours of the Play for Peace: Games for Palestine Charity, I want to share a few thoughts, learnings and thanks for everything these past 10+ months. Charity bundle link: itch.io/b/2979/play-... Thread below⬇️

My mom asked if I'd heard about Jimmy Kimmel. She's worried. She told me to leave my devices at home if I went to the States. Why is my mom worried about me being punished for speaking my mind? Because the Nazis occupied her country when she was a child. She's been here before.

Bluesky is a wonderful place that has flourished in large part because of its artists and intolerance towards facists/Nazis. The Updated policy currently going into effect Oct 15 could fuck that up and we should be very vocal about it. Here are some specific things to mention in feedback (THREAD)

Anyone who signs this pledge is not a journalist.

This is one of the most important posts of the day.

This is the lead story in the New York Times. If you're in the business of communicating, whether through journalism, commentary, or art, this is the five-alarm fire. People are going to remember who spoke up and who stayed conveniently silent or postured about "neutrality."

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

so, like, just for the record (not that anyone really cares what i think) ✅ vaccines good 🛑 concentration camps bad

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.
