Daily comics 1/1 & 1/2
Picture of two days: 1/1- a person sitting near a table watching a cat eat next to a feeder that's on the side of a staircase with the person saying "hopefully, he'll eat today". 1/2- a person staring out at overlapping mirrors as their body breaks apart saying "all I feel is myself shattering".

@tochitruestory.bsky.social dropping gems on his newsletter like it's nothin
One reason a player returns to a game is mastery, its own source of enjoyability. And each draft of the novel has its pockets of mastery, and as I get better, those pockets grow larger, from the sinuous sentence to the artful scene to the orchestral chapter to the symphonic whole. Each go-through, each draft, is a process governed by intuition. Some of it is internalized training, but some of it is the result of conscious unlearning. I make what I like, and everything I know—everything—should be in service of that.

First time this has happened to me
Retweeted a post from minovsky as the 69th person that is on theme with the post. The original post is of a character from samurai shodown saying, "no one calls me freak and lives! No one but my wife, that is."
