I did a lot of wild stuff this year but finding a workout strat that actually works for me and I can be consistent with and being the Lead Writer of two new studios’ debut titles would absolutely be the top three! Checked off a few more National Parks too with more planned for next year 🫡
Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.

Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.

Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-"

wrong

I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI

get good

This post is the sign you’ve been waiting for to get into painting miniatures in 2026. Don’t worry about your skill level, or learning the lore, or having to play the game after - I promise you, you will thoroughly love the journey of simply painting a mini. It’s also so therapeutic. Do it :)

I saw someone on here saying that not boosting people's direct aid asks is neglect, which is a form of abuse, and like....no.

Neglect and other forms of abuse happen *within relationships.*

Not engaging with the posts of any given stranger on social media is not abuse, JFC.

Just a thing about this: a common statement in writing is that you can fix crap, but you can't fix a blank page.

I have heard AI apologists claim that this is why it's fine to generate a first draft.

Now, to be clear, fuck this.

But also: an AI draft is a fucking blank page.
I know I don’t talk about writing much. It is because I am writing so slowly.

But I want you to know that I am taking a part of this story that absolutely sucked and took me months to produce four of the worst chapters I have ever written and in the edit I figured out how to fix it.

A quiet afternoon at Plum Castle drifts through good manners and old stone, while unspoken histories, nervous smiles, and a name best left unsaid press in from the edges. “Masks of Nyarlathotep” continues with @symphonyhorror.bsky.social, @pugsteady.com and Matthew Dawkins.

I think I'm officially a fan of the Absolute DC universe. I wonder if the new Ultimate Marvel stuff is similar.

A Vampire: The Masquerade player threatened to force me to eat glass because I made Celerity and Potence slightly less powerful in V20. It taught me at a critical point in my career to be strategic about when to try and convince someone, and when to block and move on.
What's an insult you'll never forget?

"people can still download your art from bsky and feed it into AI" if gamer behavior has taught me anything, just one extra button press is more than enough to annoy a MASSIVE amount of people into not making the effort

If you're an artist who has been insistent on continuing to use Twitter for some damn reason, I present to you another piece of evidence for why you should nuke your damn account already.
Users are noticing Twitter/X has added a Grok-powered AI image editor that lets anyone edit any image on the platform, including other people’s artwork using text prompts.

Artists warn there’s no opt-out or consent, raising concerns over unauthorized edits and misuse.

Yeah, no thanks.

Stop guilting people about being estranged from family members. It someone is they likely have personal reasons for being so.

Rereading Absolute Batman (as I got the hardcover for my birthday), and I'm struck by how DENSE it is. It seems like more and more comics are straining against decompression and doing amazing things with 15-panel pages. It makes the splash pages feel really special, too.

Folks, I know you all want to see the end of this "AI" thing. I do too! But accusing people of using Gen AI when you have no real evidence doesn't actually help the situation. In fact, it muddies the water in a way that helps the "AI" producers and hurts the people who actually create things.
