Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Since taking over as host, I IMMEDIATELY started mythologizing the One Shot Studio

Each recording, during intros, guests riff with me about what the studio is like. EVERYTHING becomes canon.

As we upload episodes to YouTube, @cowboypunkcolt.bsky.social has brought TONS of these anomalies to life

Very excited to be working on a chapter for this very cool Wyrd West game!

Check out the Backerkit 👀

Huckleberry RPG ➡️ BackerKit is ALIVE! @huckleberryrpg.com · 1d

We've just announced Huckleberry's $40,000 stretch goal! We'll be expanding the book with an ENTIRE new chapter on the Maverick's home base - a Hole-in-the-Wall.

It's written by @anarisis.dylangrinder.com and @kiennas.bsky.social - two VERY talented designers that I'm excited to have on board!

Art from Huckleberry: A Wyrd West RPG. It depicts an artistic sculpture made of twigs, roots, and copper wire, with heavy folk horror vibes.

It's a bit meta but I'll be starting today's stream with co-working to try to fix my co-working. 😅 I've got both On-Together and Super Sweet Bot going but I have to re-test everything since the PC crash. 💜

Afterwards it's back into Silksong to try getting further in Act 2!

FaunAndGames Twitch stream for co-working. There is both Super Sweet Bot and the On-Together Demo on screen. There is also nonbinary streamer FaunAndGames' Vtuber model.

Today's edition: a setting where the world was made up of The Forces™ (very specific term) but the gods monopolized those, now someone's 💀ing gods to release them back into the world.

Is this a thing that exists?? I can think of several properties that do similar stuff, but not this specifically 🤔

major grocery stores, banks, any public/government run buildings will probably be closed

lots of tourist-y or recreational places and restaurants will likely be opened though

Kienna is sometimes a scary goose @kiennas.bsky.social · 2d

you're gonna get an even split of things that will be closed for the day since it's a statutory holiday, and things that'll be open since it's a long weekend and people will want to be out and about doing stuff!
