kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

telling stories with friends is one of the most soul-satisfying things I've ever done
TTRPGs are such beautiful, impossible things. Think of how hard it is to get any group to get on the same page on *anything*, and then marvel at how we play these games that allow you to build worlds together.
I think about that a lot.

Venerable magazine Harper's Bazaar is running its short story contest again, with the winner receiving "the chance" of publication in the magazine. Just one catch: per the wording of the guidelines, _just by entering_ you transfer copyright ownership of your story to Harper's parent, Hearst. 1/3

I am working on the one for this year, but this time in a very different style. I’m so excited to share it! 💛 🐴

In my case, it's "every book I write" followed by "Clue, Pratchett, and Scooby Doo references" so...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

An illustration from a few years ago, when I was in my ‘put moons on everything’ phase- which I'm completely over with and not fighting myself about every time I paint 👍

I do believe the proper response to this is (checks notes) "feel free to go pound sand"

I've gotten up at 5 AM to write before the family woke up, edited with a baby sleeping in a nursing pillow next to me on the couch, and set up at the dining table to read page proofs, so...
Contrast this with Shirley Jackson:
“The actual act of taking pen to paper…occurred on snatched time, in common spaces. Jackson’s children recall her writing in the middle of baking, perched on a kitchen stool or wedged at a folding table in the dining room.”
Which takes the greater discipline?

Your heart may be heavy today; mine is. Take a breath, mourn, grieve. Then continue, seek community, mutual aid. Organize. Create: we need your art, stories, music, dance, games, now more than ever, not only to help recharge for the long fight ahead, but to remind us all of what we fight for.
