I love that artists no longer need gallery representation — with just a click, we can share our work with the entire world, anytime, any day.
Here’s my art 🖼️ Show us your art.

Even before voice acting was more broadly used, developers got their own staff to do a couple of lines. It's how we got Morshu, arguably the most iconic Legend of Zelda character of all time.

Mobility is political. Sustainability is political. If you don't care about politics, someone else will. And perhaps that someone wants the opposite of what you want, or wants to take away what you have.
Folks have been telling me they’ve noticed I’ve gotten “a lot more political” on social media this year.
Of course I have.
The circumstances have gotten nightmarishly worse, and the consequences of inaction and staying silent infinitely more obvious.
Everyone needs to get “a lot more political.”

What does success look like to you?
While a lot of self-help gives us an obvious answer, success is more fluid than we realize. It's being able to do what you love doing. It's expressing who you want to be. It's a lot.

Woah I just found out this crazy thing:
It says right here that your unique experience is precious and has made you into a beautiful individual with your own perspective. And it says here in fine print that this means you are a magical creature capable of being loved in a way no other creature can!

We are nothing but a series of habits. If you don't like who you are, take some steps to make changes until it feels right.

Manalive this is terrible. I’m all for honesty about what we want, but not everyone needs to know or hear those wants, and some of them are actually unachievable because they conflict with other people’s wants.
You need to be honest with yourself about what you want, sure. But “can’t go wrong”?

Just because you're taking a break or need some time off doesn't make you lazy. It makes you human.

Good morning sweets!
I'm really glad for VTubing because it's helped give me more confidence. I never really thought I was funny, pretty, or likable growing up. But this community has made me realize that I'm cute AF 💙
Say something nice about yourself today! Your elf queen demands it! hehe

New B&R article just dropped. Lots of stuff to talk about on the tabletop and digital fronts, as well as some notes from @thequietfish.bsky.social on updates to design heuristics.

Good morning people. Here is to another lovely day. ✨
It's overcast here so it's a good day for some focused work for a bit and an afternoon walk.

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

One of the changes I made to my work flow is to not be so hard on myself about "being consistent." Often times that mantra created more hassle and imposter syndrome tendencies than actual improvement and growth in my life.

AI is a fucking Ponzi scheme!
Based on analysis of years of revenues, losses and funding, since 2023, OpenAI has taken in $28.6bn in cash and had $13.7bn in losses.
However, reports say OpenAI ended 1H 2025 with $9.6bn in cash - suggesting OpenAI's losses are billions higher than reported.
