Home from vacation to find my new fountain pen cozies from Rickshaw bag works came in. Cozy new homes for my edc pens and a ton of stickers. The six pen roll up is one of their customizable ones and matches my original three pen holder. The blue is a Sinclair bag.

Use the good stuff. Get out the good art supplies. Use the good herbs. Wear the nice shirt. If you have it, and you are saving it for some imaginary someday. DO NOT. You are worthy now.

Look, I'm not saying that your writing should be 100% motivated by spite. But a little, like 10%, is really helpful for those days where all the other motivations aren't working.

Before you sign anything, check with professional organisations such as the UK's Society of Authors, who offer a lot of free guidance as well as specific advice for members. www2.societyofauthors.org
Writers: Challenge the agreement/contract that your publishers present you with. They'll start off saying this is our contract, take it or leave it, but it's negotiable. Every contract is. 'Boilerplate' means this is where you start, not where you finish. And learn what 'subsidiary rights' means.

Ah, FB memories serving up some winners. This is what an itemized $1,330,000 NICU hospital bill looks like (only 96 days to get there). The apple is there for scale. Here’s why I share it. Too many ppl don’t know abt lifetime caps and pre-existing bans. Bc the STILL-VULNERABLE ACA banned them.

I've been thinking about Magnus Hirschfield's Institute FΓΌr Sexualwissenschaft a lot, lately. Y'know. The first modern gender studies clinic. The one that lasted 14 years during the Weimar interwar period until the Nazis burned it. My personal library of Alexandria.

I will bang this drum forever: in THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE: THE GERMANS, 1933-45 Milton Mayer interviewed 10 ordinary Germans after WW2 to learn how fascism took hold. There was never a moment when everyone woke up:
if you’re waiting for everyone around you to wake up, you’ll wait forever. this is how the people grinding our bones to make their bread WANT you to be. paralyzed, alienated & purposeless

I cannot express how delighted I was to find my copy of Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast waiting for me when I got home today. It is such a beautiful game and there is so much care that went into it. I'm looking forward to finally putting the stickers from all of our early games into the book! #ttrpg

"Things Elan Reacquainted Himself With After Breaking Out of His Single-Day Time Loop" by @straith.bsky.social is a sweet story about being trapped, then being free, and the small steps we can take towards joy. sarah-i-jackson.ghost.io/inner-worlds... #SFF #Fantasy #SpeculativeFiction

Since there's a lot going on today and a lot of people are feeling stressed & overwhelmed, maybe this is a good time to introduce all of you to early 20th-century artist Tade Styka and his distinctive painted dog portraits
