A really dynamic game premise *and* eye-catching logo design that gives vibes of peak Cerebus but without the baggage of Dave Sim? I'm deeply intrigued 👀
The Stars are shining bright tonight. And they're getting hungry. If you want to survive their game, then you need to be ready to fight.

I'm celebrating Imbolc today by reading poetry with my wife and son, and finalizing files for my most recent poetry collection, so that I can release it on Valentine's Day!

Back when I wrote the Vapian maxim “Vapus Vella” (Vapis Lives) I never thought it would be tattoo worthy. These days the idea of survival at all costs is a little too useful. Thank you for sharing this, Lita.
"Vapus Vella. Vapus Lives."

For my 36th birthday, I got my dedication to survive at all costs as a permanent reminder.

I'm so thrilled to be a part of Conversations with Ghosts - an ethereal journey through New York history by two of my favorite creators in audio drama. You'll hear me in the latest episode as Gia, an avant-garde dollmaker inspired by the life and work of Greer Lankton 💗: pod.link/1843137773

The last panel from @gailsimone.bsky.social and @davidmarquez.bsky.social Uncanny X-Men #19 is all we need in these trying tiresome dystopian times. Even just in spirit.

Great video from @poparena.bsky.social about the regulatory & media environments that produced the first Nicktoons. PopArena consistently delivers some of the deepest research around & ALWAYS spotlights the people responsible for the shows we love. One of the best doing it.

@poparena.bsky.social A friend turned me on to Nick Knacks - incredible work. Should it be of use: I'm a media journalist and one of my long languishing projects was digging into the Disney era of Doug. I've got a later writer's guide/bible and some other BTS material.

@darmon.bsky.social Thanks so much for your candid newsletter update and sharing some of what you've been working on. Your joint piece about the overlap between neurodivergence and urban exploration is so valid and so fascinating. "Sensory-driven modes of heritage engagement"? Heck yes. 💗

Oh, hey! Orlando Voyager published this little interview with me AND credited @vikka-lilsatan.bsky.social for photography AND @catblackard.bsky.social for her artwork, which is more rare than it seems. Maybe I say words you'll like too? orlandovoyager.com/interview/ri...

Just a reminder that The New York Times is biased, willfully bigoted trash now, openly dispersing misinformation with dire consequences and you shouldn't give them money - even for Wordle.
We have published the following update to our article following an email response from the New York Times.

Trans News Network has a policy against platforming bigotry. As such, we have declined to publish the Times' statement which included blatant transphobia.

Someone in my community needs an emergency urinary surgery for their cat, otherwise their cat might have to be put down.

They need $3,000 for the surgery and haven't gotten any donations yet. I was the first donor. Can someone match me?

Hey folks! Myself and @georgiacooked.bsky.social are creating a TTRPG zine for Zine month this year!

The game is a GM-less, tragic horror about explorers trapped by a cave in. It's set in the real world and uses a d6 communal dice pool mechanic.

Please give us a follow and spread the word!

My gift to my other brother was a 28-page zine of Dennis the Menace cartoons with captions from The Far Side, inspired by the time a newspaper in Dayton repeatedly switched the captions for The Far Side and Dennis the Menace

@theuniverse.bsky.social - major kudos on the Herman Melville nomination for Blippo+! It's so deserved. I've been wanting to collect my thoughts into some kind of big public praise of it these past months, but life has been a whirlwind. Instead, I bought it for everyone I know for the holidays.

New illustration for the upcoming chapbook. I thought it might be fun to share the poem for this one, and the reference photo from the actual haunted stuffie that @catblackard.bsky.social and I helped our kids exorcise this summer.
