Good times late night sketchbook party

I have been down for the count sick the past couple of days and so I have played the deltarune ch 5 and am processing it; probable spoilers in the reply

If the goose does not feel valued it will leave

»männliche sozialisierung?« oh, du meinst herrconditioning

Be kind

Announcing that I am "pro" Caroline Cash Nancy and bisexual Fritzi. Count me into that number. Let me swell that progress

Nice to see that @greenlightbklyn.bsky.social's Literature in Translation Book Group will discuss on Wed my translation into English of LA BASTARDA by Equatorial Guinean author Trifonia Melibea Obono, published by @feministpress.bsky.social greenlightbookstore.com/event/2026-0... #booksky #xl8

Ushikawa: You're a totally ordinary guy, Mr. Okada! That's what I admire about you Toru: Yes. Can we make this intimidation session quick though. I have a long day of well-sitting and psychic sex work ahead of me, is all 🐾

Catching up and may I say how much I love may kasahara's one-star review of the dictionary: "I don't like the way they look, and I don't like what they say inside." No notes 🐾

I really want a book collecting all the business advice from Murakami characters. Need to buy some cursed land based on intuition alone? Don't bother buying lottery tickets for it; you need to earn that. Don't get a job either. Just ask the first woman who speaks to you and do whatever she says. 🐾

The full list of stories in this app - homeless cat - salary man sorrow shop - the grandmother no one ever calls - the train station dog - the loveless secretary murder mystery - digital dad deletes himself - & now: Shinji's dead dog Rick will never see him again and doesn't understand the afterlife

Bonus chapter takes: I am WROTH with the editors of yesteryear who did not let Jay Rubin translate Toru's pool hallucinations! The uncle 's weird business tricks! The farewell to ex-Creta Kano + nameless postcard! The easy-listenin freak's triumphant return! All lost, lost, like tears in rain >:( 🐾

Lol, oh boy, look what's next

The hit conclusion to the latest Yomu Yomu smash story ;_;

I love the uncle's sick business hacks (from bonus ch 17 🐾)

The application period for the 2027 FSG Writer’s Fellowship is now open! The application period begins on June 3, 2026, and closes on July 6, 2026. More information about the fellowship can be found at fsgfellowship.com.

I'm fascinated by Creta and Toru as foils, especially after reading the bonus chapter today: more in the reply? 🐾

CW about 🐾, generally related to the sex fantasy stuff but specific chapter 11 thought, more in reply:

Parade. Thursday. Manhattan.

I took such good slut selfies during the last two minutes in an act of sympathetic basketball magic and now I don't know what to do with them

Fireworks over manhattan and screams ❤️❤️❤️

We do not have a way to watch the actual game so I'm watching a live stream of these eager youths watching the game. Who are these young men of promise and belief

I am wandering around midtown signing Woodworking at the stores I see! If you have an NYC bookstore that could use that Emily touch, let me know!

Part 2, chapter 9-10: in which again we spend some time thinking about water and stars, and which I do not want to spoil so posting the question I have in the replies! 🐾

I opened my notebook and found this little drawing of all the wind up bird friends i'd made and forgotten. (Not pictured: Lt. Mamiya; the easy listening freak) 🐾

Okay I love all of sluggo's little friends and their weird hats and obviously this joke, but it's making me insane that in every panel they're stepping forward with the right foot at the same angle??? Are they just like sliding; is this a comb harvester

Today in pride media bundles, Little Puss press has a pretty great deal with *all* of their ebooks for $15. Under 2 bucks a book. Honestly worth the price of admission for Violet Allen's Plastic, Prism Void & @quinnae.com's Log Off (which all us bsky sickos should read), then you get *even more*.

And here she is, on the Q train digesting her 7-11 hot dog, turning back into a pumpkin as we speak 🧡

Feminist Press representtttt

#32: a deep comfort reread that I've gone through every 5-10 years or so. Fatefully timed final interview with a childhood Problematic Fave and his sinister Art Wife. Every time I read this I feel and notice different things; this time it was the family stuff (both his and hers)

Scene: Toru drinking straights and listening to some nice folk music in a Hokkaido bar 🐾

Toru:🪼::Ahab:🐋 🐾

Get in loser, we're listening to joy div live at les bains douches 1979 and drawing comics like it's 2002 all over again and all there is ahead is Possibilities

Is Florence's song free formally identical to a joy division song film at eleven

Sorry for posting feet on main

Watching the cat have a dream is the best thing

this is a really good idea, i think mayoral candidates should consider including something like this in their platforms

Wonder if the letters were delivered by owl. Nightmare

I get the impression that some people aren't clear what this means. This is the UK state deciding to intervene directly in the healthcare of individual children, depriving them of medicine that their doctors have prescribed for their personal health & wellbeing, in defiance of global best practice.

Is anyone else hung up on the parallel between Toru holding Creta Kano while she cries and the flashback to the coworker the night before her wedding? Even down to the way Toru talks about them: he's not sure if it's right, but asserts it "did not seem to be a mistake"/"knew of no other way". 🐾

<3 it's good to break the association between "published" and "real". One of the most important things I ever wrote is a completely unpublishable novel no one else will ever read in my first year in therapy. If you're writing what the daimon is telling you, that's the right thing

Life update: finished with a large obligation after a long time and suddenly feel like a big knife has cut all the puppet strings at once. And now is the time of stillness

Some of my favorite Met People I met bc we were in the same space for a reason, usually related to some kind of common intense affinity or goal. I think bars are kind of destructive at root, keyed to adventure; if you like that then maybe the people you meet in that space you will also like??

Hot thesis: it is not in fact showing compassion to the people who hate you to capitulate to them; it is showing them contempt. You cannot handle the version of me who actually exists, so no problem, I will give you less. This isn't kindness

CW but I usually think about how growing up in Texas didn't affect me negatively, and then I studiously do not think about why my internal monologue when I can't do something or get tired involves calling myself a useless f****t a lot. Cool 1 am you can't sleep tweets club

Love how Alexa is programmed not to answer questions like "do you think there is any hope of things getting better". Good to be on the safe side there. Engaging could only be embarrassing, or maybe even costly

a glaring omission from much of the convo about the Delaney Hall labor and hunger strike imo is the fact that *these people shouldn't be laboring in the first place* this is slavery, & even the 13th Amendment's 'punishment for a crime' exception doesn't apply! ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

🎶 Is the perogative to have a little fu-un

#31: random store pickup that is the exact book I needed right now: grim memoir of the southern Chinese factories that make everything you are using and wearing, by a rural Third Child chosen to work & waking up to beauty. It's granular in the best ways, has islands of peace & teenage self awareness
