A heather black t-shirt bearing an ornately-lettered phrase: "An Individual of Mysterious and Indistinct Gender"

Five tarot cards, illustrated in the Ryder-Waite style: The Hierophant, The Star, The Moon, Justice and The World. Bold, vintage colours and black linework. The Hierophant is a priest, tangled in branches. The Star is a half crustacean, half baby. The Moon is a man in a brass-buttoned jacket, welcoming you to a hotel. Justice is a police constable, illuminating the crumbling pillars of justice. The World is a mountain.

Huge props to AJ Hateley from Gametee who lovingly depicted neathy characters and concepts for our new Fallen London Arcana, all drawn by hand - and hand-painted! - with the utmost care and attention to detail.

Lots of time and work went into these! Very excited to see the art once it's been printed and completely finalised. Surreal to go from idea to product!! A big responsibility in these times!

Nothing says "I want independent judges" like threatening to sack any judge who disagrees with you, while holding up a judge's wig like a puppet

could the Etsy witches honestly help me find my lost earrings 💔

One is a Cyclops, one has two heads, one is a literal skeleton, very cool

And I regret to inform that there's a Gamer One and she's kind of cool. Like I would wear her current gen outfit.

No new plastic this Christmas though so I'm keeping my eyes on eBay 👁️👁️

I've got no skin in the Monster High scene but I'm working through eBay listings trying to get a few of these dolls for Christmas at the behest of the children, and they really went there with some of these designs, it's kind of awesome

Worker owned things will have much better time existing when people will understand that “the rich/capitalists” doesn’t mean “anybody who gets paid (slightly more than me) for their work”

Aura/Moom @moomanibe.bsky.social · 2d

when I was defending itch I heard from a lot of - frankly to my shock - other queers who were like "it's a platform, platforms are the enemy" and until we're able to distinguish _as users_ the ways in which worker owned services aren't your enemy and deserve grace, we won't be seeing very many

I enjoyed it too but felt the narrative ran out of steam where the systems still had loads of puff! (Also the single squares are cubes of cheese, aren't they? Or did I feed my dog SO MANY cubes of egg)

Here are some real and actual facts about Mandrakes:

- Their smell could drive away demons
- It was a popular component of fertility spells
- Witches used it in the unguents which gave them the power of flight

So: the perfect plant to name our new game and its protagonist after.

Services start at £500, and on the whole my clients have said I make a tangible improvement to their presentation, and also that it's a big relief to talk to a marketer (who isn't too expensive!) and sense check everything they're planning.

Hannah Flynn 🐀 @itshannahflynn.bsky.social · 4d

What does this look like? I can advise on your game's marketing, PR and comms any time from initial idea right up to introducing you to journalists at launch.

The simplest thing is to book at Steam Store Page review, which involves a report and a meeting focused on improving your store page.

Every time you see a photo of Zuck showing off his new surveillance wearables, picture that next to the photo of him pretending to apologize to a courtroom full of devastated parents after his other product destroyed a bunch of families.

A real human would have backed off after that moment.

Riiiiight! I don't like that there's nothing I can do to influence a bad run. No nudges or playing cards or moving my little castlevania guy around. Choose wisely or perish, from a limited selection of charms that you don't know anything about yet. IDK it ain't clickin'.

Hannah Flynn 🐀 @itshannahflynn.bsky.social · 5d

who's playing clover pit?

am i missing something? you are unable to hold or nudge things in this 'fruit' machine. or are 'slot' machines simply different, and it's literally just about the lucky charms?

the fact that you just spin and spin hopelessly quite a bit is weird
