this is the good stuff. More Christianity like this, I might still be one.

It’s a transparent background, Bsky just defaults to black. Flat Greggy can go anywhere.

JingleCat, having gotten her favorite Fancy Feast for dinner, is utterly unenthusiastic about rotisserie chicken for dessert. (This isn’t terribly surprising; NinaCat is the chikin fiend.)

Hey, @fidelioscabinet.bsky.social — those ring bindy things? Worked perfectly.
January 22, 2026 at 4:24 AM
What I'm planning is to use a 5 hole punch, paper I like, and cuttable snap-ring binding coils, like this:

If I can build them the way I want, I am happy to share.

Love the parentheticals.

Personal grump:

I have been using Borden & Riley ha’penny sketchpads at 2.5”x3.5” as my daily pocket To Do for years (because writing it down & crossing it off works for me) and I’m on my last one. Guess I will be learning ring binding here real soon because I need paper, not card stock.

About 350 to go. Anyone in Maine who wants them for the upcoming, hit me up. Ping me and tell me to follow you back so we can exchange Signals or encrypted email. Should be able to get them to you by Monday/Tuesday.

And am happy to set up my next box of about 1000’s recipient, too.

Yes, there are deliberate patterns, and each represent the most critical setting in the individual story.

Each cover is built out of creative commons images and credit will be in the title page.

Now I just need to finish the damn maps.

Well… I think I’ve got all six covers where I want them.

There are 8 billion of us on this planet. We’re fine on baby making. Our issue is distribution, and distribution is No Big Deal if you’re not fucking racist. And is not stupid.
This is a profoundly misogynist argument & dude barely missed using Hysterical.

Better color balance, still not quite right (but I’m going to have to find some tutorials), with a starry night background.

Theirs is a really deep relationship. Rien loves that baby girl like almost nobody else.

Procreate exercise in stitching images together and altering certain aspects with the liquify tool. No background.
Rien and Emma, or at least, close images to the ones in my head.
I still need to work on color balance in layers, which is not easy.

Or not. Maxfield Parrish era time. I really like this one, going to go sleep on it and read the relevant book it belongs to, but I think this is the one.
January 10, 2026 at 8:06 AM
I think the finished one. I might still try a nightscape if I can find one I can alter for major light, and possibly some distant hills if I can find one that doesn’t have a hiker in mid-ground🙄, but for now, I’m happy.

A not quite halfway image: it had a building I didn’t want and I needed a different sky, so this will get a new background.

Pretty muffins. (it’s always worth remembering that muffins are a 1 bowl, 32 minute start-to-finish (including the dishes) project. Even faster if you find a mix you like. It’s something that can at least make a hyperlocal environment a bit better.)

And how Jacob Frey resisted replying with, “Maybe I am, but at least I’m not a jackass” I will never know.

Go to Settings, then down to Content & Media. In that panel, untick “Autoplay videos and GIFs”.

Truly. Protect yourselves, okay? Nobody’s paying you to watch snuff films, nobody’s forced you onto a jury, bearing witness ALSO means knowing something exists and refusing to be silent or complicit.

Thanks. Covers are hard. The others have come together much more easily. Two left that are being more difficult.

Making messes of public domain images. (still working on replacing book covers for Rebellion because one was withdrawn from CC).

Options for Foundation (because there’s a fire.)

Any feedback? impressionistic is the goal.
