there were a few years back then when UFC was about honourable sweaty men rolling around and punching each other in the head. RIP.

Getting to show you all this cover and announce that VILLAIN is officially coming out in May of next year is such a joy and a relief i don't even know how to express it.

the cover for a book entitled Villain by Natalie Zina Walschots. the cover is a bright magenta with dark blue and teal lettering for the title, and the author's name is in yellow. there is an image of the silhouette of a woman carrying a cane, surrounded by the silhouettes of five superheroes.

dymphna @dymphna.bsky.social · 3d

ppl will tell you that you're "too old" at 30: they are wrong and dumb

pay attention to ergonomics at work

use good form when you exercise

learn a new language! learn to play another instrument!

seek out intellectual challenges bc you won't encounter them as much in your everyday life (probably)

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

95% of the time when I get edits back I think "wow, this is great. an opportunity to improve my craft! I wish they praised me less and were more critical so I would know how to improve more."
