Drawing for fun? On a weekday? Surprising!

The first mistake the girl makes is not to make a single error. The second is to be herself.

Spent my @guildmedmak.bsky.social “Making Space” time drawing Bad Cows and deeply enjoyed it. Mooooo.

There's a lovely 12-page preview of Second Shift by @igotkittypryde.bsky.social over on Publisher's Weekly... Check it out here: www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

New diary comic: acceptable procrastination

Eerie frogs? In my wallpaper?!? ( @tanaudel.bsky.social )

I'm revisiting this for a lecture, so it's as good a time to post about it as any! reactormag.com/some-ways-to...

If you are into musicals about queer people in a shitty apartment trying to make it in a gentrifying city before they die, have I got a musical for you. But instead of five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes, I figured I could do it in fifteen. www.kickstarter.com/projects/shi...

New post over on substack: art and life and The (Not Very) Great Flood of Last Month! open.substack.com/pub/kristenh...

Feeling stuck in your creative work? The @guildmedmak.bsky.social has some ideas for you! open.substack.com/pub/guildmed...

Perhaps relatedly (but not entirely!), we have a new blogpost up at @guildmedmak.bsky.social on 'what to do when you're stuck, creatively'! This arose from a spontaneous discussion at the end of our last Making Space session so we thought we'd write it up! www.guildmedmak.com/blog/what-to...

We have a new Meet a Medievalist Maker blogpost!🖋️ Meet Mary Flannery (@15thcgossipgirl.bsky.social), the 'accidental medievalist' who writes about the medieval for both scholarly and public audiences:

I'm relaunching my website, Set Yet Speaking, which will host my translations of medieval literature. In this first post, I discuss why I'm giving this another go, why translation matters, and how a short extract from Beowulf inspired the name of the site. nikolasgunn.wordpress.com/2025/08/12/w...

Sigh.

Me: makes very long to-do list of projects that need attention. Also me: spends hours collaging pigeons in matchboxes.

I attended the @guildmedmak.bsky.social group last night and actually got some words down on the page for the first time in a while. It clearly "unstuck" something, because I wrote another thousand words today. Thanks to my inspirational fellow guild members!

Wonderfully thoughtful blog post about “Cartooning the Medieval” from Anne Le, a postdoctoral fellow who joined us at the Newberry in June for the event! sites.nd.edu/manuscript-s...

The goddamn RELIEF when you finally manage to create something after being stuck in the doldrums, I can’t tell you!! HUGE thanks to my fellow #Gummies for literally Making Space for my creativity to return!! @guildmedmak.bsky.social 🙏🏻😮‍💨🎉

Fantastically productive time with the @guildmedmak.bsky.social group tonight! I was playing with character design for a new short comic. Strange creatures abound!

Our fourth Making Space Session was joined by medievalist flax spinners, biography writers, embroiderers, zine makers, prose and verse writers, and calligraphers! We also had an excellent conversation about working through creative blocks, which will be developed into a blog post soon!

Hope to see my GuMMy buddies later today - I’m hosting!

What is it with this house?!? ( @tanaudel.bsky.social )
