Part 1 of my exploring a medical mystery that nearly took me out last year.

Of course I'm very glad to be much more well today, but even more than that I'm glad I preserved my text messages because I'd wildly misremembered some details.

In LA to help my partner with some family stuff; the first and foremost difference between this city and my home turf (besides the fact that July Is Nice Weather, already a shocking turn of events) is just how many dogs there are. Californians bring their dogs into places I'd never have dreamed.

Reminds me of this enterprising individual I saw the other day. I… I don't think you built that.

I designed a project alongside my dad—he did the words, I did the art. Science fiction concepts that make your spaceship game than just a heist/western/sports drama with beautiful chrome details.

Having lain in bed for three days with some terrible, horrible, no-good sickness, I did manage to at least *think* about work for fifteen minutes today before I fell asleep again.

Post-thanksgiving walk in the bird sanctuary where I gladly froze my fingers off for the pleasure of observing a barred owl sitting fluffed up right beside the trail.

Cold Sun's themes are terror, scarcity, and survival; which is why I think today is perfect to announce it's release date: November 30th!

I made an Oz-inspired suite of backgrounds for
@melsonia.bsky.social's TROIKA! game. Do you want to be a gentle crocodile, an erudite creature grown to giant size, or a lost star, exploring Quadling Country?

The pod floats in orbit around an unnamed gas giant’s moon. When hailed, a simple recorded message plays: "Do not attempt contact with the planetary body below. It is a place of extreme peril and despair. This is the final resting place of John Kierney, captain of the Aeolus."

The local legends are vague: a woman died up there atop the twin-hill to save her lover, two centuries ago; in someone’s grandfather’s time a young girl went up the hill and never came back down. They’re wrong. What’s buried there is much older.
