A fascinating thought for writers: How your cultures ornament and augment their environment says a lot about where their culture places their idea of value. Societies that cover things in complex, intricate motifs are telling you that *labor* is the greatest form of wealth, rather than materials.

I’m so glad for this man and I challenge anyone who calls him a “pussy” for weeping with joy to go and hang out in the tiger environment for 24 hrs.

Good morning! It’s Tuesday! Blood Ties came out one week ago. Feels like forever and just yesterday! Please, if you enjoyed it, in whatever format, you experienced it, write a review or post on your feed. Word-of-mouth really is the best advertising!

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.
This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Off to dinner then back to the luscious room I’ve treated myself to for a couple days. Going to sit in a garden, sleep, journal, soak in a tub, and read after a busy week. Be excellent to each other! It’s a hellish time; breathe, hydrate, rest if you can. ❤️

Okay folks, here’s the real deal. I’m surprised so many people reacted in a hostile manner, I guess we’re all on edge these days! I had simply been misinformed and I am posting the correct story now.
So I went Full Journalism and think I've discovered why several folks have shared the same image saying "Writer" isn't a valid job.
It's from a medical screening questionnaire. Here's my explainer! BUT ALSO here's a link to the metadata from my original image.

As someone who nearly died in childbirth, despite excellent health and the medical care of a highly developed country (not the US), my anger at forced-birthers is matched only by that at "free birthers," who bully women into believing it's a status symbol to give birth without medical help.
At St James’ Church at Cooling in Kent are still to be seen the 13 children’s graves surrounding that of their parents that inspired Dickens to write the opening chapter of Great Expectations.
I guess even the folk memory of the huge mortality of childbirth and early life is now disappearing.

Mitochondria being the powerhouse of the cell is cool and all but I think classes like "How to calm the fuck down as an adult in a healthy non self-destructive way 101" is something that should also be taught before graduation

Blood Ties had its birthday Tuesday, mine is today! I'm so appreciative of y'all who've followed my journey of 34 years of writing over 21 different IPs and original fiction. I love Blizzcon b/c I get a chance to say thank you, and I do so here and now. From the bottom of my heart, I'm so grateful.
a cartoon llama praying with the words you 're the best below it
Alt: A white cartoon llama against a white background smiles with eyes closed, touching its muzzle to its forepaws/hands in a gesture of deep thanks. Above it in cheery black type are the words, "You're the best!" Oh hey look at that, a gif with correct punctuation. That's a gift right there.

Today is the day to tell a strange story.
The long version we'll tell later, but the short version is this. In an attic, in his late great-uncle's house, @jon.inkle.co found a locked trunk. It took twenty years to open. Last summer he did.
Inside was a wiring diagram, and a stack of books.

BREAKING: We're suing the Trump administration for banning transgender federal employees from using the restroom that aligns with their gender.
This needless and discriminatory policy is another effort to push trans people out of public life — but we aren't going anywhere.

This is so beautiful and heart-filling! 🥹 she is radiant and shines in her true self. I’m so happy for them. Such love and joy is a fire that warms all who are touched by it, even the viewers. I hope they’re happy forever.
Jennifer English realizing she's a lesbian and falling in love with one of her mocap directors (Aliona Baranova) over the course of making BG3 and seeing all the queer folks embracing Shadowheart and the impact the game had is genuinely one of the best stories in game production in a long time
Congrats to Jennifer English for winning the Best Lead Performer award at the 2025 #GoldenJoystickAwards!
And her acceptance speech about queer joy was a love letter to @aliona.bsky.social 🥹🌈

Hi all, I know the books has JUST come out, but some of you are fast readers (and listeners!). If you enjoyed it, please consider writing a review or posting about it, especially in this first week. Many folks wait to see what others think before purchasing and hearing others liked it helps so much!
