this is what I mean when I say "don't let orgs and managers see discriminating against trans folk as the path of last resistance". transphobes are persistent and annoying. be just as annoying. show them compliance is going to be a legal nightmare

I did the West Highland Way and my phone ended up extremely waterlogged which was ok because I had my sketchbook!

You can make a jumper inspired by the pictish goose if you like 🪿

Happy new year! I started the year by running into the sea followed by awkwardly trying to get changed on the side of the road while not flashing all the passerbys and dog walkers who wanted to stop and say 'happy new year' to me

I know this may be controversial but Hamilton is actually very good

Quinns is reading the brilliant Border Riding by @jomreid.bsky.social! You can join in on the fun with some free community copies over on @itch.io stoutstoatpress.itch.io/border-riding It's a game about maps printed on a big map, but there's also a book pdf with accessibility tags!

I had a wonderful, friendly (and fully booked!) launch for Border Riding with Argonaut books and @ancientrobotgames.bsky.social. This only happened because they both wanted to help out a small local publishing house. No big chain business has (yet) ordered or stocked the books and games I publish.

Cycled along the canals all the way from Edinburgh to Glasgow on Sunday. All in all about 98km! It was a bit of a miserable day, cold and wet with long stretches of cycling into the wind, but it was great see the comings and goings of the canal, from rowers and boats to cormorants and ducks!

In london for work and for what I can see london is filled to the brim with "immersive experiences". What does that mean? Don't worry about it

I wrote a massive TTRPG setting guide encyclopaedia about the ancient Scotland and the Picts who lived in it. It covers everything scholars currently know about life in the 7th century, from landscapes to kingdoms to faith, magic, settlements, and so much more. Check it out! carvedinstone.scot

There's a really satisfying moment in game development when you play test your game and end up enjoying yourself so much you can't wait to go back and play again, even with the bugs and dodgy mechanics and all. I've just hit that and it's making me SO EXCITED

Hot off the press 🔥 Interpretation, a solo roleplaying anthology zine inspired by almost ten years working with museums - these babies will be available at #gzf2025

Finishing up a project and thinking it's uniquely terrible and the worst thing I've done, forgetting I've thought this about every other project I've ever made

Glad I made it to today’s demo, was good seeing so many folk (& good dogs) out against the Supreme Court’s judgement. Was Sassy’s first protest and her mums had dressed her in this homemade outfit/sign!
