A magazine asked Ursula to write about a book that changed her life. "A book? One book?" she wrote on her blog.

It's true. First visit to a hot spring in Iceland, and suddenly it was just @embley-hulk.bsky.social and me in a tub with Bjork. Emily recognized her tattoo (and had seen her change out of a cartoonishly large orange jumpsuit in the changing room).
also, say hi to Bjork if you see her (which is what someone once said to @jedediahberry.bsky.social jokingly, and then he and Emily did, indeed, run into her first thing at a hot springs)

See the thing is, to read a book, you have to hold the book open in front of you and turn the pages. That's how books work.

a cool part in poetry is that your title is included in the poem.
in rpg design, think about abilities, picklists, and roll tables like poems, and experiment with the title and subtitle. for example, look at this picklist from @jedediahberry.bsky.social and @andrewmcalpine.bsky.social.

Stainless by Todd Grimson is a 1996 vampire novel reprinted by McNally Editions, and more than worthy of rediscovery. A washed up rocker becomes a vampire's familiar in seedy 90s LA. Disturbing, sexy, funny, and sometimes even romantic, this is a great vampire story, but also a great LA story.

Rough math: 12.3% of Americans (41.7 mil) are about to lose SNAP. Many food banks produce 3 meals per $1, so a November worth of meals for one costs $30. Round it up to $35 for asst. costs & hygiene products. If 13% of us donate $35 each to food banks, we can get everyone through Nov! #EndHunger 🥙💪

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.
“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡
Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI
Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.
