Just finished The (Pet) Detective Agency and I’m so glad I took a chance on it.

What are your best “off the beaten trail” manga? I don’t read horror or dark stuff, but I’d love to add your lesser known recs to my reading list.

My husband just called to remind me to eat lunch.

The audacity.

Yes. I do happen to have ADHD and yes, I maayyybe, might be prone to forget to eat.

But still. How dare.

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

Woke up in the throes of a migraine, so naturally my brain is like:

“You know that game design we’re working on, I was thinking…”

Brain, how are you thinking anything, we are in agony. And why weren’t you thinking anything yesterday when I *wanted* to function.

Fucking brain.

On the one hand, I never like the noodles in cup noodles (though instant ramens are my comfort food).

On the other, it’s Hello Kitty!

Naturally I bought it.

Working on my first miniature project (rough sketch of final plan in second photo) building a tiny interior in this light up coffin I got.

Pondering all the RPG things I could do with miniature making skills. Can I illustrate a whole game with these?

Also, why is my art making game so ambitious?

I originally wanted to call my bakery The Frilled Apron, but Jeff said that makes him think of lizards so here’s my current name choice.

Yes. I AM a werewolf baker who specializes in croissants, thank you for asking.

Playing @thornandkey.com magical bakery game cause it felt very holiday

Playing @shing.bsky.social A Mending - with buttons I made myself - I’ve decided to stitch colour into the map where I’ve walked so the map *comes to life* along my path but stays a flat map elsewhere.

Shown: Home button, meandering path, river, blocked square, meadow of flowers

I don’t know what you are doing with your Saturday, but I’m making Eeyore charms out of perler fuse beads. As you do. Awaiting two small jump rings to attach the tail.

Shh… don’t tell my husband but this Stardew chicken is coming together *so well*. It’s totally going to be his favourite birthday gift.

I *meant* to hop into the Solovember Jam this month.

Instead I spent the first half of November in surprise hospice care for one of our cats. And processing grief instead of developing a game.

That’s just how life is sometimes.

Maybe next solovember jam I’ll have a game about grief to submit.

Spoiler Alert: The answer is connect, plug into (or expand) community.

I'd add to @rebeccawatson.bsky.social's list that resistance is also in art. Making it. Engaging in it. Sharing it. But yes, all of her list too.
