I just finished and absolutely loved North Continent Ribbon by @yarntheory.bsky.social. The fastest I’ve read a book in yonks. What a joy. Creative and dark and loving and hopeful all at once. Also with a beautiful cover by @treelet.bsky.social.

Anyone got any tips for selling first edition books? I've got two first edition paperback Harry Potters in reasonable nick that I want to use to raise money for Mermaids.

Do you think unbending Clippy until he was a long piece of metal would be painful for him. Or do you think it would cause him to feel a great sense of relief

So, I've been meaning to make a thread about my current obsession:

Narrative deduction games! ✨🔎📖

That's the term I'm using for games like Obra Dinn, Golden Idol, and Roottrees, where using story information is how you progress. Aka the best genre!

Hey UK, my reality-bending mother-daughter-found-family-multiverse novel is on sale on Kobo. It's about being lost, trying to find the best version of you (literally), the mysteries of our parents, neuroparasites, murder and features two of my favourite characters I've ever written in Dom and Amber

The people who think you only learn from failure and that coaching is just about examining your own faults because there is no mental gain without mental pain are the same people that think AI will replace therapists.

@innes.bsky.social I seem to recall you are a vegetarian but can I tempt you to some forbidden blue meat?

@xiotex.bsky.social ahhhh, if I had read my damned Bluesky I would have known you were at expo, Byron, and I would have hunted you down to say hello!

@gralefrit.bsky.social @willmac23.bsky.social hello! Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed Broken Veil. Thanks for making it. Scratched my Lovecraft Investigations itch very nicely.

I played the demo of this yesterday and it was great fun. Super smart, I really enjoyed it.

I can't believe this. It's incredible.
SORRY. Sorry.
Have we seen this *incredible* news video coming out of Queensland? Wait for the witness/witnesses statement

This is what happens when your heart is so fetid, so broken that you cannot feel empathy any more. When cruelty becomes your only motivation. A truly poisonous human being. I’m deeply sorry for every book I bought or film I saw.
See the movies or don't, read your kids whatever you want, but this self-portrait of a gloating hatemonger is the identity she has chosen.

Rolled credits on Blue Prince. I’ve been playing it in every spare minute I have. How the fuck do you fit so many mysteries into a game? I thought Animal Well was dense and then this happened.

This is exactly what happens when you stop standing by your values and focus completely on trying to win. When your purpose is defined by and dependent on someone else, someone you really shouldn't be caring about at all.
