halp I accidentally zoomed bsky in and now it's zoomed in

omfg man, otters. every time I'm reminded of how cute they are, it startles me

My stuff is all secondary world, so ofc that throws wrinkles across the comparison. I've gone bronze age up through Renaissance. The new story is set partially in modern (basically) Earth, and I hate this, but I have some things I need to get off my chest

I see the /r/fantasy sale is 'officially' over, but it's still the 28th for me, so I'm not changing any of my prices. If anyone wants the first 3 books of Tipping World for .99 each, have at

I had meant to get another hour of drawing practice in this evening but I may be too tired from cooking. womp womp

The first 3 words you see will define your 2026 friend sex homo ...huh. Okay, I think this puzzle has mistaken me for a younger version of myself, but let's go

Another episode of Random Seriously Contemplates Jumping in the Shower today. I strongly suspect his sister is hoping he will do this, as she habitually sits in the doorway, peeping around the door and watching

day 2 of drawing a ton of stick figures and I seem to have a habit of drawing lower legs too short. the other proportions are mostly solid but i've got all these stubby lower legs like I get impatient or st

Absolutely pouring rain right now. Doesn't look like there's much chance it will stop in the window I have to take a run, which means I'm doomed to wet socks 😭

Pherul's eyes are brown and viewed through glasses: he's nearsighted. He can get awkward about making eye contact in the right context, but it's not hard on him. Rithu's eyes are black. Their eye contact is whatever is most comfortable for the other person

#DecemberWorldbuilders I could talk about something magical but there is not in fact anything more magical than whales. Sheneth lies or used to lie along shallow tropical waters that serve as a nursery for humpback whales. They don't mind people visiting so long as they're respectful

Ach! Tropes you have a beef with discourse came and went and I forgot to mention the one SFFH trope I consider IREDEEMABLE, I do not care about your treatment. It's where some very real horror we inflicted on fellow people for well-known and obvious reasons like bigotry or greed

Oh thank goodness, the cats are finally chasing each other. 😂 They're really hyper but trying to separate them with a toy in 2 rooms didn't work. Sometimes humans just can't do a sibling's work

Oh man no luck so far encouraging Random to chew on the silver sticks but he went after this 2H pencil when I let him inspect it. It makes noise! He doesn't like it!

#Caturday It was the kids' first Christmas with us. They were deeply skeptical of the unwrapping of gifts but had a blast chasing each other through the wrapping paper afterward.

#QueerWriters My only goals were to get a newsletter off and make sure I had my stuff set up properly for the /r/fantasy sale, and I seem to have managed both. Sitting next to a sleepy cat from here on out

Woohoo, got my newsletter out like a fecking pro complete with sales links. Time to rel- Ope. Spend all day making pizza. 😂🍕

Indie author friends, you need to up your book prices a bit. I gifted my mom three ebooks for Christmas–three of my favorite reads this year–and barely paid five bucks. I would have happily paid ten or even fifteen. None of the books should have been priced at under 1€. You're worth more.

got Scholomance 2 & 3 for Christmas. It's been exactly a year since I read 1, and I had forgotten, bc it's such a bonkers premise, that what really appealed to me about this series is the voice of the protag. She's so bitter and sullen and short-fused but also painfully self-aware. Love her
