I've been wanting to write more long-form content for a while, and I remembered that I have a blog! So, starting next week, I'll be working on a new series: Bless This Mess, a blog about fiction that is trashy, silly, or otherwise not Good

And speaking of projects ... here's a peek at something NEW @mariebilodeau.bsky.social and I will be previewing exclusively at @canconsffh.bsky.social this weekend.

It has glitter. It has chaos. It has art by @anoteinpink.bsky.social! And it might games-related.

#TTRPG #drawsteel

A corner of a magazine cover, featuring a drawing of a pink and purple crocodile with a long, glittery tail. The words "Issue 1" appear in the corner of the frame. The magazine was written by Marie Bilodeau and Brandon Crilly, with art by Kat Weaver.

Last week was awful. There was a death on my birthday, and I found out my SNAP benefits went from $290 to $23

It was a bad time

So, if anyone wants to join the Patreon or Kofi, even for a month, I'd be thrilled.

There's microfiction, and updates, and tarot/oracle readings. Maybe other things too.

It’s the character stuff for me! Like okay yes I can do a character arc in this short story but wouldn’t it be BETTER spread out through a whole novel

“Skill issue”

Erin Rockfort (they/she) @pineapplefury.bsky.social · 2d

This has been wild for my 16 year old self

Erin Rockfort (they/she) @pineapplefury.bsky.social · 2d

Gah this is so ahistorical. You can see old diagrams of racist breakdowns of facial features etc where Irish people are grouped in with Black people as being “less evolved”.

Obviously that changed but it really drove home that whiteness is a CONSTRUCT for me

Probably nobody here needs me to tell them that Marie is a truly unmatched, one of a kind, wonderful human but I do need to mention that I would go to war for her

Marie wrote this very beautiful thread and I second everything here, I am so grateful to work with all of these amazing folks!!

Including, of course, Marie, who is an absolute delight and a force of NATURE, and I so admire her wit, her charm, and her unflinching yet wholehearted and warm commitment

Marie Bilodeau @mariebilodeau.bsky.social · 2d

We are getting close to @canconsffh.bsky.social and I am taking a moment to say that I have the best crew anyone could ever ask for. Ever. Lemme go on for a bit. You need to know how amazing they are, and they deserve it to be seen.

Listen the rest of us are cool and do important stuff but I legitimately think the con would fall apart without Tyler!!

Context, which they have insisted I add: we were talking about that Peter Thiel article where he mentions One Piece/Luffy as Christ-like

Them: “I have a theology degree, okay”
