"Never go to bed angry" is shit advice imo. It encourages quick resolution, which often means one participant making concessions (or apologizing or whatever) when they otherwise might not, because they're tired or the other person won't leave you alone until you do.

@itsviviactually.bsky.social I can't get enough of lines like this in SOR2: "A tall elm tree grew at the edge of the field, older than the town itself. The old folks called it the Watcher, though no one could tell you why."

Earlier today I got a text from a friend that said "did you hear the big news!?" And it was not the news I'd hoped for.

Ah, the 80s.

Speaking of rad artists, check out this book trailer created by @poulsens.bsky.social ! They do such amazing work on OCs. You should definitely give them money to do yours.

!!!!

Oh look, a free evening and an ARC of Shadows Over Ravenkirk 2: Civil Blood and Civil Hands by the hauntingly good @itsviviactually.bsky.social

I'm in

If you want drawings, or maybe even your own trailer, you can commission me through Ko-Fi! ko-fi.com/sylverwpoulsen

Trans people: What's something you've done to be kind to yourself today? If you don't have an answer, go fix that. You deserve love and kindness (yes you), especially from yourself.

This whole thread should be required reading for anyone aspiring to the role of Ally. EVERY KILLING OF A TRANS PERSON IS A TRANSPHOBIC KILLING

Truly we are living in the future

Hill: in a broader sense tho Hill: the real question is Hill: is it morally justified to murder evil people? Mary Shelley: yeah Hill: well wait just a second mary you haven't heard all the caveats yet Shelley: i said what i said

Waiting for my colonoscopy consultation appt in this chair

The Bone Clock by @laguettler.bsky.social was cool and atmospheric and clever and cheap!

'What would you even do with it?' she asked me. I shrugged. Turned it over in my hands a couple times. 'Only two things you can do with a broken toaster: Not make toast. And not kill yourself in a bath tub.' She let me keep the toaster. - Patrick Hinkle, ANOTHER SOMETHING DARKLY (2027, maybe)

I don't have the necessary reference base to fully appreciate this but OMG a Darklingverse rpg video game!!!!

Wait is there another way

Yes yes yes.

Well. That's gonna be stuck in my head the rest of the day. youtu.be/KUOwbcdZozQ?...

Our tiny rural library has summer reading programs for literally every age group, birth to death. We have special events and prizes, all free. You don't even have to have a library card.

Slightly increase a band U3

I think the birth rate "problem" isn't because people are underbabied, but rather assholes are overlifed.

Y'ALL. Things are exciting around here.

I'm beyond excited to be part of this! Gaming nerds are my people. Come out and see me (and a bunch of other great authors) at Critical Grind Board Game Cafe in Shorewood on May 23. I'll have books, stickers, koozies, and my startling personality.

It's true. I'm a real person.

Writing Community! POST A REAL BOOK WRITTEN BY A REAL PERSON #writingcommunity I'm doing a self promo because WHY NOT The Bone Clock has no story, just supplementals: prologue, epilogue, appendices, map, footnotes, etc. No ai could do what I've done here. la-guettler.itch.io/the-bone-clock

Here are a couple of redheads that you might have forgotten existed, but whom you definitely had a crush on 20-something years ago. #Art #Kiva #MegasXLR #Mira #BuzzLightyear

Because the world is not as it should be, various Al Gore rhythms have chosen to expose my beautiful and charming book promo posts to the heathen eyes of loser transphobes Help me counter their rancid vibes with a reskeet? books2read.com/SOR1

This mother's day, when my skyline is full of testicles, I'd like to remind everyone that some mothers do have testicles.

Nature is healing

Just yn case useful to note, "weirde horny fae" hath the same meter as "Pynke Ponye Clubbe"

Okay, let us make a deal. I do not share images of myself ever. If someone new* tips me 20€, or several new people tip me a combined 20€, I will share a few images of the outfit I have started wearing when going out**. *I don't want the same 3 people to keep sending me money. **No face visible.

"Difficult but still enjoyable" will be on my tombstone

-vo,

Giving your OC a motorcycle is always the correct decision!

Good Morning, World.

Look, I'm doing video content

Trying to eat my feelings but all I have is turkey pepperoni

"I'm here to see Dr D" "Don't you normally see Dr K?" "Yeah, I'm switching doctors." ... ... Like girl trust me I do not want to see Dr K anymore, do you want a detailed list why because I promise you don't

Local indie bookshop won't accept self pub authors that use 'zon. Like, I get it, but... oh well

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Help out, if you can. Bunny needs you and so does Sylver.

Just saw an ad for "45 years of the Violent Femmes" so if you'll excuse me I'll just be walking into the sea

Sometimes you just have to draw your OCs hugging. This would be years into their relationship, and while Tay is usually better at separating work and intimacy, this time she just needed to let Clear know that she loves her. #OC #Clear #Tay
