Soloed... again. I don't foresee my current instructor leaving anytime soon, so hopefully I'll be done within the next month. Wish me luck!

Shouted it to Ben Wolf (one of the authors of Rickshaw Riot), and he was not impressed.

One of my pet peeves: The left image (Staff with 2 snakes and wings) is the Caduceus. It is the symbol of Hermes, the god of Messengers and Commerce. The one on the right is the Rod of Asclepius, the symbol of the greek god of healing. I assume medical places using the wrong are just fleshmongers.

Costume I wore to #ECCC. Was a great time. Can't wait for the next one. Maybe I'll actually have physical books to sell. :)

A year's worth of workouts. Thanks to my trainer (trainwell app) for keeping me motivated.

I know using AI Art is frowned upon, but I threw an AI image on my Royal Road story (that I don't expect anyone to read). Is this acceptable, or is the general preference for no image over an AI image until I'm ready to commission one? @aesonique.bsky.social since you commented on this.

Somehow, in my household, this turned into us saying "Cheep Cheep, Motherfucker!" to each other. This is probably actually what the Nac Mac Feegle said, but Sir Terry Pratchett had to clean it up for the kids. :) #discworld

I flew for 41 hours and didn't get anywhere. :P (All practice and ending at the same airport I started from.)

A fictional character you’d give an invite code to.
