All dressed up for the Rougarou Fest in Houma, Louisiana! 🐺🎃

I used to tease my mom for watching HGTV, and now you’ll catch me watching tiny house tours.

Last Saturday, I participated in another Dead Media Market to showcase READ ONLY MAGAZINE, the video game fanzine I have been part of as a contributor and editor since 2021. Baton Rouge, you showed up! 💜💛🩵 I loved chatting with fellow gamers and creatives.

Look what my husband found! Have you tried this one yet, @anyaustin.bsky.social?

'Rapture' comes from the Latin 'rapere' meaning "to seize and carry off." 'Raptor' also comes from 'rapere.' We hope neither carries you off today.

Help! I’ve been playing Hello Kitty Island Adventure on Switch, and it’s making everything better!

I didn’t know I needed to read _Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop_, but, boy, am I glad it arrived in my life when it did. Beautiful work, Hwang Boreum!

Fellow NORCO artist Jesse Jacobi devoted many months to this acrylic piece. If anybody knows anybody at Tor Books, please send it their way. A remarkable tribute.

Happy National Video Games Day! Celebrating by remembering our trip to the NYC Nintendo Store in 2017. ❤️ I’ve been playing video games since I was about 3, and this pastime has brought more joy and purpose to my life than I can succinctly share.

I don’t know much about the Virtual Boy, but when I saw this cool Mario Clash shirt by @oneradpodcast.bsky.social, I felt a sense of FOMO for never playing one. Did you ever play this game or any others on the Virtual Boy? Wild to think it came out 30 years ago!

I’m having way too much fun with my next piece for READ ONLY MAGAZINE. The theme for Issue 12 is FOE. 😈

I’m in my mid-30s, and I really love that my parents send texts with, “Good morning! Love you all! Have a great day!” every day to my sisters and me. I know that I will miss that one day.

Here is whats coming to Play Along in July. July has five weeks in it, which means you all get an extra episode 😁🎉 Very excited to start our new book club game playing Star Fox Adventure and we have some awesome episode with amazing guests as well. @faeriecrypt.bsky.social @djstormageddon.com

After receiving junk mail, receiving something with substance is refreshing, especially something you contributed to. This is the latest issue of READ ONLY MAGAZINE, and its theme is FRIEND.

Thank you so much to the community for joining the Tri-Parish Organizers at last night’s fundraiser at Jude’s Hot Chicken and Shrimp! A portion of the proceeds will go toward the Look Who’s Reading Book Festival on July 26 at the Thibodaux Civic Center.
