"The Time We Have
Available Now"

Each Door card changes the nature of the zombie apocalypse you're dealing with--in mine, the infected gradually spontaneously combust, one limb at a time, and pass it through the inhalation of smoke. [apologetic ta-da pose]

The Time We Have is available now!! A tabletop game by @moreblueberries.bsky.social about two brothers in the apocalypse, waiting out a zombie infection that will destroy one of them. I wrote one of the Door cards, illustrated by @egallagher.bsky.social!

Both sides of a card. On the front, a flaming door with a single crying eye looking through a hole in the center. On the back, a public safety alert titled Not So Spontaneous?

I am absolutely gutted to hear of the death of Rob Wieland, literally one of the greatest tabletop reviewers and commentators we had. Tirelessly tracked industry news, omnipresent in our collective circles and communities. I am so sad for his young family. These are dark days, friends.

Rob was one of the first people who covered and supported our game. I only got to speak with him a handful of times over the past few years, but he was such a kind presence and so actively engaged. I'm so sorry to hear this.

i just finished the big flashback part of Water 7 (One Piece) and this arc has been so wild. It's crammed a lot of information in a small space which does occasionally feel clunky but still always page-turning in a way the rest of the manga wasn't for me yet

Job occupations, from an 1881 census. Every one of these sounds like something a sorely provoked Captain Haddock would should at someone in times of heavy stress.

Day 11 - Frutiger Aero Shark

Does anyone remember Winamp?

- - -
🦈✨

#Sharktober #Sharktober2025

Digital art. A drawing of an old Windows desktop with the classic image of a blue sky stretched out over rolling green fields. The style of the image is frutiger aero, which combines the aesthetic of early 2000’s technology with water, bubbles and bright colours. There are two sharks swimming across the screen that are shiny and transluscent, almost like gummy sharks.

This whole series has been great, and genuinely moving, despite (or because of) being polished campaign video.

It is so rare to see those techniques—with that *surety*—used to say things like this, from positions like this, with a platform like this. No hedging, here.

Makes me want to do the work

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
