I'm back streaming at twitch.tv/gnome_anne and we're doing a lil hopecore story time -- gather round, as I read you How To Do Nothing by Jenny Odell, and try to indoctrinate you into rest as resistance in place

✨ Hocus Pocus, I cannot focus ✨ #cuteart #illustration #cat

I wonder if I can control the global chaos by doing something productive locally. My brain tells me that tossing myself into some giant 2026-item declutter spree is not going to solve international politics, but it might make me feel better. Who needs stuff anyway?

Today's reason for celebration is that the days now lasts 5 hrs 23 mins, unlike yesterday's 5 hrs 22 mins 🌅

Considering switching from Opera to Vivaldi - is there a big gotcha I'm not seeing or is the latter really a non-AI, privacy-focused browser? Opera used to be fun, but their descent into genAI is disgraceful

My GP told me to book a 40 min appointment with him to start my ADHD assessment journey. After listening to me chatter for 20 minutes, he told me to go talk to a psychiatrist. Y'all, I think I passed.

I hate how much I enjoyed this BIG NERD DESIGN ENERGY 🫦

Our garden is a theater of war. It started with bullfinches foraging among the raspberries. I put out some seeds and nuts for them. Ten minutes later, a squirrel made a tactical approach to take over the hazelnuts, only to be chased out by a jay, who in turn, got chased off by magpies. 10/10 cinema

We went rock climbing yesterday (indoors, not out on actual rocks), and within the first 20 minutes I managed to sprain by ankle by landing badly on the mattress below. I'm out of further bouldering for a week or more, but hey - new hobby unlocked! ⭐🧗‍♀️

On my solo RPG bullshit again like I don't have six projects to finish instead ...

Oh no, it might be that my constant hobby-switching and getting utterly bored with things that used to consume my every conscious second two weeks ago is just undiagnosed adhd.

I must thank wikipedia for having this image of a Gloster Fancy canary. It definitely made my morning :).

Last update of the year is LIVE NOW!!! ✨ New Christmas cards, 2026 calendar stickers and other journaling sheets! 🎄 #artshop #cuteart

I'm trying to figure out LinkedIn, and I'm having trouble translating myself into a professional language. I squirm at the lingo. LinkedIn Anna is an indie game designer and a successful writer. Bluesky Anna spent last three hours frying potato pancakes and listening to podcasts on AuDHD.

POV you're me, looking in the mirror and telling myself to shave, then demand avoidance kicks in.

Just had the order delivered from @bymossypine.bsky.social and it includes the loveliest lil' note for the birthday kiddo who absolutely adores all the blanket kitties and floral bunnies. Thank you so much, she'll be so happy to have a personal message from her favorite artist ✨

After 10 successful ttrpg crowdfunds, I’m opening up slots for consultancy from January. If you have a project you’re bringing to Kickstarter or BackerKit in 2026, email to arrange a free 15min meeting to discuss your goals and needs. [email protected] #Kickstarter #BackerKit #crowdfunding

I went to a webinar on personal branding on LinkedIn in an attempt to professionalize, and I can tell you that I'm now on my way to have ✨magpie vibes✨ on main. ... it feels weird to let people I know irl into my online presence.

(This post is not entirely serious, I'm just venting) I feel like I've been oversold on the promise of autism explaining all my life's struggles. My attention is actually fluctuating widely, I have no life-long special interest, I build routines that should feel perfect, but then /

The Magus was featured in a popular TikTok, and people have been really supporting the game. To celebrate this milestone, 100 community copies are now available—no need to email anymore. Get a free copy of the Magus in just a single click.

I'm at Dragonmeet this weekend! L22. I'm bringing Carved in Stone and that's it, so buckle in for the longest Pictish rambles you've ever heard yet.

I'm now co-ordinating with 20 different AP producers to start an AP collection on the Internet Archive 🤩 Step 1: get the list of contacts ✅ Step 2: get everyone to make accounts at archive.org and send me their handles Step 3: start building records!

⛄❄ The new Mossy Mail items are here! This time I am experimenting with a 'make your own bundle' format, where you can pick and choose your own Mossy Mail bundle! Items are available until the end of December! ✨ #cuteart #artshop

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

The new Deathstalker movie sparks joy.

Today was a "take your kids to work day." We work from home. It takes one almost-12yo to realize that most of my "creative workday" is, in fact, paying invoices, talking to accountants, sending/answering emails, writing to-do lists, and fiddling with commas and em-dashes. She's so bored, y'all.

I updated my neocities website with all the TTRPG panels I've hosted. Is this necessary? No. It's just embedded youtube videos. But there is a little kitty that will chase your cursor if you click it. allmyfriendsarestories.neocities.org/panels

I'm playing Shadowrun Returns to scratch an itch between Shadowrun sessions, and I'm just visiting Universal Brotherhood who invited me with a slogan: Build a Better Tomorrow. Little do they know, my PC is called Tomorrow, and she's there to eat free cafeteria lunch and wreck stuff.

Y'all: we love to get so many questions about our upcoming bird book! We also love to answer some of them pre-emptively 💖 #ZoologistsPrimer www.doubleproficiency.com/post/zoologi...

Panel is now up on YouTube! Go leave a nice comment so the internet thinks I'm cool www.youtube.com/watch?v=Llug...

Fish, unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In his clearing. Paws all up in other players' pockets. Flourishing.

Good news! New massive study about fibromyalgia dropped, and according to it, I only have *two* autoimmune disorders, not three 🥲 I'm also half-way through "It Doesn't Have to Hurt" and I've been telling my brain to shut up whenever fibro pain comes up... and it's working so far?

Here is the first draft to my brief guide to the digital preservation of Actual Play, from a digital archives perspective, targetted at AP producers. allmyfriendsarestories.neocities.org/posts/2025-1... I say "brief guide" but, you know, I'm me.

Briefly put, we played Root with friends, an rpg based on the Root boardgame, and my character was a possum thief named Fish. Kids enjoyed listening and making up stories about him, so when we saw a crocheted possum plushy on a medieval festival stand he got instantly adopted, and now helps me write

The weather here finally got below freezing, so instead of gray and wet we have a sunny blue sky and fresh air with the tiniest bite of frost spice. Instant +300% boost to morale.

Carved in Stone is officially out! In this comprehensive setting guide you'll be able to see, touch, taste, hear and smell your way through everything that modern-day scholars currently know of the enigmatic culture of the Picts, from the perspective of someone living in the late 7th Century.

His name is Fish and he's a lovable, but dastardly rogue. Fish's knife was made by my daughter :). And yeah, maybe he should become a character in something rather than merely a muse?

I just realized how peculiar my writing notes must look from the outside... meh, as long as I know what I meant it's all good.

In Finland, once a year we get the receipts of people who earn above a certain amount, and we can see exactly how much they paid in taxes last year. In our municipality, the highest earner got ca. €26,000,000, and paid ca. €9,000,000 in taxes. See how easy it is to tax them...?

I haven't seen a lot of talk online about this new tv show that's supposedly good. Probably because "de pluribus non est disputandum."

Thanks to @jakubwisz.bsky.social, we're getting back to Shadowrun tonight, with a brand new group of street level shadowrunners with 0 experience and 3% self-preservation instinct. My PC is a indie spell designer, with a boutique occult store deep in debt to an angel (gang) investor.

I wonder if YouTube ever understands that I'd rather never watched *anything* on their platform ever again than disable my ad block.

#ColorsOfFinland day 23. Looks like we moved to The Other season! Poinsettia's red leaves are equivalent to Christmas here! One day, my cats stop eating every single plant I house, and I'll be free to have some of those 😅

I'm in a Finnish class, and the word of the day is 'kaamos', a perfectly innocent word for polar night or general darkness, and its related word 'kaamosmasennus,' because of course this country has a special word for the dark-time flavor of depression 🙃
