First writing on this app as I gaze into the blue skies that contain it. Hope this new beginning fares better than the last. There's so much community to be built, strengthened, and cherished in the things I find fascinating: writing, RPGs, cartomancy, symbolism, myths... Cheers to a new age of it.

IF YOU BUILD OVER A PILE OF CORPSES, SOONER OR LATER, YOU'LL BE GRABBED BY THE ANKLE
I feel vindication in a way that is hard to grasp. To FINALLY wake up to this. A few of you reached out to me, and I to a few of you, over the last year. So now it's the best time to talk about this.
Buckle up.

Check my game out y'all. Zephyr was a labor of four years involving hundreds of illustrations, a lot of research on the anthropology of stateless societies, and plenty of worldbuilding and system tuning to come up with something that really breaks the mold. Also comes in audiobook format read by me!
If you wanna get a glimpse at Zephyr and how to get started with it, here's Part 1 of our dedicated video series!

Reminder that @strigarosa.bsky.social 's Power Fantasies series is one of the most relevant pieces of #ttrpg analysis, introducing biopolitics, necropolitics & psicopolitics through RPGs.
It starts with cultists as exemplar victims of biopolitical power.+

![There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. ... No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others

I adore FLOW, the stunning Latvian animated feature out today. Top 10 of the year for me. A dialogue free movie starring animated animals about community vs. individualism, about seeing ourselves as part of a whole.
Here’s 4-star review for RogerEbert: www.rogerebert.com/reviews/flow...

You have to make it because you want to see it exist in the world. It’s gotta annoy you a little that it doesn’t exist, and you gotta do it for yourself.
Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

“Write every day” is generalist advice. The more you write the more the act of it becomes muscle memory responding to your thoughts and ideas. But the most important part of writing is maintaining your mental health. If you can’t write today, don’t. Take days or weekends off. Self-care is essential.
