Spent my whole evening yesterday reading @naominovik.bsky.social The Summer War and...wow✨️☺️✨️
It feels like a fairy tale but it also shares the same flavor as Arthurian legends. Beautiful.

Knack, maybe. Definitely Spyro. Not sure when we'll see him again since Toys For Bob spun out from Activision but Activision kept their IP.

Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness. Loved that series.

I love Vector because he's got this scared-puppy energy and I just want to give him a hug & tell him he's okay, but I also love Frankie's optimism. He makes me laugh😆

...and the one they showed today might have invisible pikmin??😯

Hard to decide: I love Lani's energy, Pavel is sweet & hopeful, but I want to give Phaedra a hug because she's been through SO MUCH--who am I kidding? The whole ghost crew + Pavel need hugs

Going to stay here for now, but honestly I just want a place to nerd about games & art with minimal drama😮‍💨😓 Why is that too much to ask? (4/4)

Reluctant to jump onto another site for fear of same problem happening there too.🫤 (3/4)

The same thing happened to me with Twitter: I joined up shortly before word got out about the Certain Tech Baron's takeover. Haven't touched it since. (2/4)

Looking at today's discourse: why is it that when I finally work up the courage to join a SM site, it's shortly before it goes to pieces? (1/4)

My cat likes to sleep with his face smushed against the seat and I'm like, how is that comfortable??

Read the book Starting Somewhere @jphillll.bsky.social · 7d

Bad news feels inescapable. There’s a lot of it, it goes viral, and things are getting worse.

But resistance is also everywhere, and it doesn’t get the same attention.

We need to share mass resistance, to inspire hope and so that more and more people join in.

Resistance is everywhere — it just isn't getting enough attention

More notably, I keep thinking of the quote at the beginning:
"In the dark times
Will there be singing?
There will be singing.
Of the dark times."
-Bertolt Brecht

Amid everything that's been going on in the world, I keep thinking about this book. It's not a cureall, but it does have an important message: don't give up.
We're in the dark times, but we have to keep singing.

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
This day honours and remembers the children who were forced into Canada's Residential School system.
It was first observed as Orange Shirt Day in 2013 and was elevated to a statutory holidy for federal workers in 2021.

Spent half my weekend reading webcomics.
GAH😍 why are these comics so good?🥰🥰🥰

You lose out on a lot trying to shove everything into tiny boxes that fit in your head. Isn't the whole purpose of read/play/watching stories to just have fun & enjoy? You've discovered something new.

Dusted off one of my old colouring maga and finally finished this beauty today. Man, it's been a while since I've done any #colouring 😊🎨
