53 years young, computer tech, voracious reader (horror, fantasy, sci-fi), always wanted to write but could never get past the voices in my head.

"So, how about that widening gyre, eh?"
I find myself missing Google Reader these days.

Google could contribute a little bit of positivity to the world by bringing it back. Leave out the AI (or at least make it opt-in) and give us the ability to create feeds from social media.

Yeah, that's what I want for Christmas.

@chuckwendig.bsky.social I'll be honest, when I read the word 'Thaumacrunch', my brain automatically associated it with Warhammer 40k. A hearty, delicious apple that can also vaporize a city block...

SAY NICE THINGS ABOUT EoE (if you liked the set TELL THEM WE LIKE inventive ambitious in universe cards because EoE got swamped and swept aside by two UB preview deluges before it even released)
These surveys are often important, worth filling out if you have the time!
We want to know what you think of #MTGEternities in our latest survey!

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find.

So I built it:
blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...

The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database.

Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.

“And in that very moment, away behind in some courtyard of the City, a cock crowed. Shrill and clear he crowed, recking nothing of wizardry or war, welcoming only the morning that in the sky far above the shadows of death was coming with the dawn.”

You may resurrect one dead artist who would be an amazing shitposter. Who is it?

Lenny. Fucking. Bruce.

His final shows were someone who clearly, 100% would have been tweeting catty-ass, vicious takedowns while living a terminally online lifestyle.
