New short story! THE GOD UNDER THE BANYAN TREE is about a cemetery keeper who walks into the jungle and finds an ancient god in a hidden tomb. They have a picnic together and talk about marriage customs. Cozy fantasy romance.

It's June, the sun finally came out, it's warming up, I bought a dahlia, I'm planting my garden this week, and I'm writing a book. I'm chugging a coffee. I'm going to be unstoppable.

Sketch commission for zoanthia

Sand penstemon, which really ought to be more widely cultivated. Tough as nails, airy little green bush, and produces these absurd little pink and white flowers.

An 11th century “ornamental shield” that was carved from an elk’s antler. 'It was allegedly displayed in the funerary chapel of the Carolingian emperor Louis "the Pious" (d. 840) in the now lost church of Saint-Arnoul (a Merovingian bishop) in Metz.' artofthemiddleages.com/s/main/item/...

Bsky is apparently gonna start flagging whole accounts as nsfw soon so if you don't already know about your moderation settings, highly suggest switching nsfw from Hide to Warn; otherwise many creators will completely vanish from your timeline when they roll this out.

It finally stopped raining after three days straight so I could get out for a walk by the water and see the birds and apple blossoms. I needed a scarf and gloves and a toque, but I made it.

The Griffin 🦅 We are playing with MtG tokens together with my patrons. Griffin won the first poll! I wanted to make a design that would be a bit more slender and cunning looking vs the regal/proud leonine truck of a beast. [ #art | #gryphon ]

The Bronze Dragon. I was reminiscing of old deviantart days. Back in in 2006-2008 everyone had fun drawing their traditional, colored pencils jumping/floating critters with massive paws, silly markings and delicious carelessness. I missed it! [ #dragon | #art ]

I'm really enjoying the layouts of the current Lunar Blight chapter and you should definitely read it if you like knights, monsters, and twinks in (spooky) situations lunarblight.com

Now this is wonderfully unique Geranium. It took a year to get settled from bareroot (I think it is more common across the pond) so it didn’t bloom until now but imagine my delight that it popped up this year looking like this. #gardening #bloomscrolling #FlowerReport #SmallJoys 🌱

Summon Dog I (level 1) Somatic components: open (or just crinkle) a plastic bag. Alternately, start doing any sort of work around the house Result: a large dog will appear. It will not do anything useful.

Really intrigued by the unusual petal shape on this rose. It's on two different flowers so not just a single flower glitch. (This is one of the roses grown from seed by my partner.)

My little fish charms are done! I like them and I’m keeping one for myself.

I've been sketching a lot but its hard to pick one to finish

I am constantly amazed by the absolute contempt a certain sort of US kidlit publisher has for their readers. There is a genuine and persistent belief in the field that young American readers are both too stupid and too incurious to imagine a world outside their direct experience.

We are really the fuck not. Because it is really the fuck not.

Oooh, was greeted in my Kobo Dashboard with some rare nice news -- they've expanded Kobo Plus to new countries: Czechia, Greece, Luxembourg, Philippines, Poland and Romania I feel like every year there's a handful more, it's nice www.kobo.com/kobo-writing...

I’m not putting anyone on blast, but gang, we absolutely cannot be pitching creative people ideas! Especially ones you want them to make!! The math is simple: even IF they were planning a similar thing, you publicly pitching it renders it 100% unusable to them over litigation liability.
