You know what's satisfying? Going over the first draft of chapters in my novel now that I have so much more experience. I feel GOOD about what I'm writing. 😊

Always SO satisfying to be able to get back to writing after a holiday break. One day I'll be in a space where I can write every day! 💪📚

This is all the better having read the book and knowing exactly how strong a magical girl punch is

It is the stated policy of Magica Riot that Nazis deserve to be punched, so please enjoy one of my trans magical girls, Riot Blue (aka Nova) punching a sad, pathetic Nazi.
Thanks to @beedokfern.bsky.social for this delightful work!

Wow. So glad I quit Genshin. e.e
Anyway here's Mihoyo promoting AI assisted game production including:
"Efficiency in Image and Material Generation
With very few materials, they can generate character model sheets + 3D models, allowing for the testing of multiple designs and their artistic outcomes."
Something to keep an eye on.

I made my monthly donation of 25 dollars to PBS starting today! That channel basically raised me as a young child, and gave me so much curiosity and validation as a small bookworm with ADHD and autism.Honestly, it's something incredibly sacred to me.
Consider making your own donation if you can!<3

Today marks the first day in the 55-year history of PBS and 54-year history of NPR that public media has broadcast to its audiences without federal funding. But even though lots of local outlets are at risk, PBS and NPR are still here, providing fair, accurate news coverage and will not be silenced.

Before we get to Chatham's recs of Fave Five: Queer Enemies-to-Lovers YA Books, here's a note from the author: I would say that there’s nothing I love more than enemies-to-lovers romances, but I would be lying.

just a small portion of what people spend on giant corporations like Disney would change the average indie author/artist/musician/etc.'s life
this is why I ask you all to spend money supporting those of us who create outside the system and work to give voice to the things corporate America won't
