I blasted through the Blackwell games in high school and played the masterpiece that is Unavowed in college, so it's been such an honor to have been able to help test Old Skies!
It's an amazing story, with incredible art by @threeohfour.bsky.social, and a freaking awesome cast!
Go wishlist it!

It's so wild that we live in a world where the response to "teenagers don't like genocide" is politicians pushing "let's stop teenagers from using the internet" so hard that Discord has opted to shoot its own foot off

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

if you try to focus on Trump’s authoritarianism, Schumer will deflect and say people want us to focus on affordability. but when Zohran Mamdani made affordability the heart of his campaign Schumer refused to endorse him because they disagree about Israel. it’s all mealy mouthed bullshit.

Just got off the phone to the lawyer. It's all official. A cup of coffee, and then -- details. As many as we're allowed to give.
Today is the day to tell a strange story.
The long version we'll tell later, but the short version is this. In an attic, in his late great-uncle's house, @jon.inkle.co found a locked trunk. It took twenty years to open. Last summer he did.
Inside was a wiring diagram, and a stack of books.

Don’t just send your outrage out into the social media void; send them to your representatives. The politicians in positions to do something about the near-daily unlawful actions of this administration need to know their constituents are paying attention and demand action.
