I've been talking about Castle Automatic a lot, but I want to make sure I pull the camera back and talk about the game system it's built for, HIS MAJESTY THE WORM, too. Gonna make a 🧵 about the core game's principles and add to it over the coming week.

To add to this - THE MEMORY HUNTERS is not inspired by the Middle Ages. Valerian IV does not wear plate armor. But she does have a sword, is sworn to guard her charge, and went to combat school. And I wrote her specifically to fulfill the princess/knight trope. Sapphically.

Annabelle Lee and The Cremation of Sam McGee have the same meter and rhyme scheme and my insomnia hobby is swapping lines between them.
Twas many and many a year ago,
in a kingdom by the sea,
lived a maiden fair whom you may know
by the name of Sam McGee.

Hey, guess who doesn't use AI in any of their processes! Small indie creators like us.
I know it's crazy to think that we do concept art the real way and write our emails ourselves, but it's true. We do. It's not even hard. We just do it.

"political violence is never acceptable," is a phrase you don't hear politicians say after cops beat the shit out of peaceful demonstrators

I have said before and will say again that it is such a loss that we no longer get covers of this caliber for fantasy books.
This art is by Jean-Léon Huens. These covers are for the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. They lit my imagination on fire as a kid.

This is not groundbreaking but it is definitely welcome & validates prior research on sheep in agrivoltaic systems. The shade is very welcome for them & can also improve forage quality, though it usually decreases quantity. (The pasture in the pic below had pretty bad quality, but it got renovated)

On Sunday, my friend, Jonathan Joss was murdered and it took me a minute to find the words...
Like so many of our lives, Jonathan's existed at the powerful intersections of Indigeneity, queerness, visibility, and vulnerability. He was fierce, funny, flawed, and real in every way that mattered.

Sometimes you just turn the eye within and peek downstairs to just check on how all the repressed stuff is doing, and it’s like.
I mean I know where it all came from but still that feels like a LOT of rage. Like a LOT a lot.

The times in which we live are killing us and we’re expected to ignore this. There’s a guy with a gun standing behind us everywhere we go but if we call him out, we’re the alarmists.

If you see a working dog in a vest alongside their person, you ignore the dog. You don’t just not try to pet the dog, you ignore the dog. You don’t make eye contact, you don’t talk to them in dog voice, you ignore them so they can focus.
Frankly, this is how we should treat most dogs in public.
