Video game corner update: little shelf and framed vintage game flyers! Made/fitted the frames myself 👍 the big one I’ve been dreaming of framing for years. Very cozy corner to be lazy in.

I am feeling deep nostalgia this year. It's the first time we stay home in over a decade! My holiday book, Countdown for Nochebuena, marks the same kind of warmth and family-togetherness I hope to nurture this holiday season.

This is like paying the guys that robbed your house to also burn it down.
Disney is making a $1 billion investment in OpenAI and will let the AI platform use its characters to make social-media videos.

Having a tough time getting into Pokémon Z-A. It feels very unbalanced in the beginning and I’m finding the map boring and don’t like the stressful battle system. Very different than the joyful Arceus and Violet.

Getting back to my roots and making frames. Only downside is it’s reminding me of my old job 🙃

Took time to build this little shelf for the video game corner of my studio. It’s a companion piece to the larger one I built last year, made from its scraps. Not perfect but came out good. 👍

genuinely think we have a moral obligation to be rude & cruel to scammers and grifters. they prey on ppl's manners and politesse and inability to say no. call it when you see it even if it makes you uncomfortable. right now they are being rewarded at all time highs & they need to be shaken

Always like the day and weekend after Thanksgiving. It can be very chill. Casually eating leftovers, hopefully seeing friends, do some art, play video games, no expectations.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
