Going to hype this up again, Athena made this brilliant piece for our most recent DND campaign, and I absolutely love it! Eternally grateful to her for bringing Eigyr and the rest of the characters to life. #d&d

I had the pleasure of doing a group commission for my dear friend @j-kenny.bsky.social and his D&D group of their 'Tyrants Bane' campaign. It is my first time working on such a large project with so many characters! This was a really big learning opportunity for me, I had so much fun. ❤️ #D&D

Athena created this incredible piece and I cannot be more grateful to her for it, the characters are perfect, bringing life to something that was pure imagination to many. Much love for the incredible work!

Can the million dollar executives in the games industry actually just not for a little bit. Just stop thinking about your bottom line and maybe just support good games for a change. Just for a bit maybe?

The couple I made this for have opened their wedding gift, so I am able to share this cross stitch with the world now! ❤️ They have a lil adorable border collie. #crossstitch #stitchsky

It's out today! My new standalone SF book about horrible alien worlds and why you shouldn't get stuck on them.

I have been given permission to reveal the upcoming cover of Bee Speaker, book 3 of the Dogs of War series, coming this June. Mad Max futures, Martian invasions, mad lizards, fungus witches and embattled monks, none of which are quite what they seem.

One way to resist? Read more, use the library, buy from local bookstores, post reviews, talk about the books you're reading, read banned books. Anything to do with reading, and books, they seem to hate. Stay educated, and continue reading. #BookSky #ReadBannedBooks #ReadMoreBooks

@havelock-octia.bsky.social you might enjoy this

When twitter collapsed, so did @skypeascientist.bsky.social’s donations & teacher signups. We *still* haven’t fully recovered to pre-Elon times. It’s hard enough to run a nonprofit whose business model is “offer free education and hope people believe in us enough to donate”, all this is NOT HELPING.

My introduction to #booksky I guess? 📚 Reading is political 🎧 Audiobooks count as reading 📖 Reading is not a competition 🤔 Reading critically & reading for fun are not mutually exclusive 👉 If you support problematic authors, you deserve to be called out on it 🚫 Toxic positivity can eff off

Mark Cuban is ready to fund a TikTok alternative built on Bluesky’s AT Protocol

Guess who got hired by Reader's Digest and immediately started using their position to push small press and books by marginalized authors? www.rd.com/list/the-bes...

@kymcosmic.bsky.social Hi Kim! Have you got a link for your commissions etc please? I’d normally go to Twitter etc but trying to avoid it now 🤣 Thanks

They’re often getting deleted by social media platforms but the UnitedHealth CEO murder ballad is definitely a genre now online.
