The Discourse bless him and keep him.

As someone who admired Redford's acting but found him visually bland, it's been weird to watch the deluge of "ultimate sex symbol" tributes roll out. To me, he's pretty like a California redwood or a mountain vista: aesthetic but not viscerally desirable (obviously many, many people disagree).

This would have all been a lot easier if I wasn’t so worried about the stupid humans.

I laughed way too hard at this. Am... am... am I a dad?

I do actually need to get proper author headshots taken sometime soon... but this is probably overkill, right?

Well, that's my Spooktober screenings sorted (I'm especially excited about the Jean Rollin films!).

A/ who would want this in their home and B/ I will absolutely lose it if they try to implement this on our Samsung FrameTV.

great read. the task is impossible. try anyway

They’re so fucking fragile.

If you need a little hope this morning - the current tween trend involves decorating clothespins with affirming messages, then clipping them on friends' backpacks when they're not looking. Here are a few that my 11-year-old decorated this weekend ❤️

Belated #DragonCon posting: the show itself is deeply overwhelming, which is my excuse for not posting much during the actual event. I remain obsessed with this person's footwear:

Somebody tried to blow up a news van in Salt Lake City

Washington Post’s commitment to personal liberties does not extend to employing people who criticize gun violence or accurately quote, without comment, Charlie Kirk’s words

“I trust my immune system. I don’t need a vaccine.” Ok, I trust mine to protect me too. Which is why I trained it extensively on what the virus looks like so it can handle it. Boxers don’t enter the ring without a plan. It’s the punch you don’t see coming that knocks you out.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

An older comic about pigeon nests.

Oh no. Maru was a pure delight.

Thanks to my kid this is the soundtrack of our life currently! We're fans joining millions that embrace the phenomenon ❤️ Congrats & thanks to the whole team behind this movie for bringing it to life! #KPopDemonHunters #Kpopdemonhuntersfanart #Rumi #Mira #Zoey #SajaBoys #Netflix #Huntrix #Takedown

I'm currently reading @edyong209.bsky.social's delightful book on animal senses, AN IMMENSE WORLD, and this scenario is precisely why giant squid have some of the best visual sensors on the planet (if they can't spot a whale heading towards them through dark water, this happens).

38 hours to go on the Art Book Campaign, here is an excerpt of a Dwarf Wizard and a Dragonborn Fighter. 1k to go until color illustrations are added! Campaign here: Zoop.gg/c/maxdunbar #dnd #fantasyart

Based on articles I've seen recently with Reese Witherspoon shilling for AI in films (she was a big NFT booster in 2021-22) and this fear-mongering bs, this post looks to have aged upsettingly well.

I saved my first computer program to a cassette tape. #c64 #commodore64

Berkeley Breathed has a chance to capture comedy gold right now. #irancontra #eww

Things suck but I am 90s goth dancing around the kitchen to k-pop while my charming husband makes me dinner so that's a good reason to keep going.

Unveiling the cover for THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS! Garrodigh is a curmudgeonly three-headed dragon who pretends to be tame so he can eat for free at the local dragon-riding academy. Unfortunately, the rider he's assigned to is... a lot. Coming Summer 2026 from DAW (US) and Arcadia (UK)!

It's coming!! I'm thrilled to reveal the cover for Corpse de Ballet! us.macmillan.com/books/978125... #murderballet

Had to make the Nocturnal Zebra from @dimension20.bsky.social of course 😍 #ttrpg 🧶

This modular housing project in Northern Ontario is a good example of something we need much more of: First Nations leadership on a climate-friendly enterprise with material support from colonial organizations and local governments. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

4 days left on my artbook campaign, here is an excerpt of a witch, her owl, and some pumpkin mephits! Zoop.gg/c/maxdunbar #fantasyart

FYI #Gamehole peeps - I think there's still one seat at the table for the two games I am running this year! It's a bit experimental but I'm excited to see how players react to what I have planned 😈

My feelings on this can be summarized in one note: at the very end, when Sonja is called on for help (a sequel set-up attempt), she leaves her weapon behind on the tavern table. 🔪🍎 A pretty but cliched image that makes no logical sense. I'm going to go fight, better leave my favorite weapon behind!

These patterns aren't perfect but they've been so important as an accessible entry point for people new to sewing. This sucks.

Don't forget about the DRM-free Humble Bundle from Tor (with Murderbot, Witch King, and more), benefiting World Center Kitchen. The donation is now at over 58,000. It would be awesome to get it up to $100,000. www.humblebundle.com/books/martha...

We are alive & upright, which may be more than we deserve. The hotel room carpet is still squishy.

"It's 2:32 and fuck you."

This whole thread is just appalling. The hearing arises from the Trump admin conspiring with a foreign country to violate a federal court order in the middle of the night so it can deny due process to children who escaped dangerous circumstances.

Anna has had excellent coverage of this developing case in which the Trump administration tried to use the holiday weekend to secretly and illegally deport children.

Still have a really great deal going on our previous game Russian Subway Dogs for PlayStation! $4.50 gets you a great arcade game (playable on PS4/PS5 and Vita) and helps fund future games like the "yet to be properly named" #GoblinGirlGame I've been posting regular dev updates on!

Honestly a little relieved. #DragonCon is pretty overwhelming on its own, I can barely imagine the levels of raucous chaos that would result from combining this crowd with that news.

Try not to live a life where every morning people wake up hoping you died last night

I see and I hear and I speak no evil; I carry no malice within my breast; yet quite without wishing a man to the Devil one may be permitted to hope for the best. -“An Ethical Grook” by Piet Hein

Been offline for a few days, so I'm extending the Faith fundraiser in my online store through the end of the month! 100% of the profits from all Valiant Comic sales for the rest of August will be donated to Trans Lifeline. And take 15% off Valiant comics with the code LIFELINE.

Your choice of tune should be context-specific. A favorite goth club back in the day used to throw on the Spice Girls or Aqua as their gtfo cue.

I've been slowly working my way through Sir Terry's works over the last decade. Every one is a gem well worth your reading time.

For a moment, I thought this was some new style of nail art.

Humblebundle to support World Central Kitchen, and get a bunch of my books from @tordotcom.bsky.social including Murderbot and Witch King! #booksky www.humblebundle.com/books/martha...

Jordan is a great (weird) writer & one of the folks who was badly burned by the whole Bound / Unbound mess. This is a great way to show support and get a copy of his debut novel!

one of the great tragedies of making a book is that the time you are most excited about it (when you are in the middle of making the damn thing) is, necessarily, the time when no one else is reading it

Good news everyone! My upcoming MG graphic novel, Inbetweens, is available on Netgalley! Request it here for your reviewing pleasure: www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...
