I was not meant to work, I was meant to run through an aged, decaying mansion lit only by the intermittent flash of lightning outside impossibly tall windows and the candelabrum in my hand, my gossamer nightgown fluttering around me like moths to the flame.

Why do they call it “horsing around?” The horses I know are all business.

The land that time forgot (aka my back yard)

There’s a lot going on here—big dark pine trees, clouds of all forms tinged yellow by afternoon sun, a wild black and white Boston terrier, yellowing leaves littering a patchy lawn, an over grown garden, forlorn looking fence posts, a low shed with a flat roof, dead trees, a half-built deck; bright colors, wild ideas.

And heck, since I'm tearing through free horror games today, why not check out A Place, Forbidden?

Much more of a sense of dread than stark horror, I really enjoyed exploring the setting and wondering how it all was going to play out. Another nice short game!

A Place, Forbidden on Steam

A Place, Forbidden is a first-person, lo-fi horror-puzzle game set in the Library of Ouroboros, a seemingly innocuous library that, rumor has it, contains knowledge not meant for the eyes of mortal ma...

Accessibility is popular, it's rare I meet anyone who thinks it doesn't matter.

Usually it's the systemic failures that make us de-prioritize it, things like perceived tight timelines, low budgets, lack of resources.

Regardless, the future world is accessible. There's too many of us that want it

I’m helping with costuming for an “Eat the Rich” burlesque event and felt like Bluesky was the perfect place to source some ideas. (current ideas below)

y’all gotta turn up brightness for this one! 🫨 The wife’s engagement ring looks like it usually is on the countertop, next to his — but is missing.

I don’t think that’s his wife, but something else wanting to take her place! The scratches on her photos, kiss on his. And that FACE 😱💀

if no one has seen it or replied to it, just delete it and repost. That’s always been an option that accomplishes what you want.
