This is such a sweet and fun story, it immediately became one of my favorites you should read it, as well as the other Maidensong books!

My new queer Portland magical girl novel is out and it’s very gay and full of big action and big feelings and I think you might really enjoy it.

I’m very close to another big deal of a milestone for my launch month and I’d love to reach it, with your help. 🥹

this is why driverless cars don’t actually do anything to improve traffic. Cars are incredibly inefficient devices on a “space occupied to passengers carried” metric and making them driverless just means they eat up space in our cities while carrying even fewer people on average

Waymo privatized another public street:

Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco

Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.

The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

"Magica Riot: Full Bloom" is my new big emotional queer Portland magical girl novel. With two villains in town, the girls must find a new approach to their magic and music, with help from unexpected friends!

Read the next adventure in my queer magical girl universe! magicariot.com/fullbloom
Artwork of the cover art of "Magica Riot: Full Bloom," featuring text "Magica Riot" is in the upper left corner in black in a combination of fantasty/crystalline and punk script fonts, while "Full Bloom" is below it in an interwoven script font in orange, red, and purple. The artwork depicts two trans girls, Iris and Bloom, laying on a bed of orange rain lilies. Iris has purple hair that fades to orange at the tips. She is wearing an orange sun dress, and is laying with her eyes closed. One hand is draped across her stomach, and the other is reaching up. Her fingertips are barely touching those of Bloom, also laying on her back and who is wearing a black corset dress, red bow, and long black gloves. She also has purple hair. Her eyes are open, and red. In her other hand, she holds a purple flower. Iris and Bloom are arranged diagonally across the page, head to head. Across the top, artwork of the five main characters of Magica Riot in a park is placed. Around the book art are placed several blocks of text: "trans protagonist," "entirely queer cast," "tall hot evil sorceress," "thrilling action," "music-based magic," "sinister tech company," queer identity journey," "polyamory adventures," "useless lesbians," "modern-day Portland." Text reading "The next adventure of Portland's queer magical girl rock band" is next. Finally, text at the bottom reads: "Recommended if you like Sailor Moon, Symphogear, Pretty Cure, Power Rangers"

digital art drawing of a 4-4-2+2-4-4 steam locomotive, resembling a cross between a Garratt, with the boiler slung between two engine sets, and an old west style 4-4-0 American steam locomotive.

Finally got some time to play with my HO switching layout. I haven't ran it since around Christmas! Being really busy with work and it not being in the same place I live doesn't help, plus we've been lazy about getting track power back to it. Had alot of fun!

#TrainMisconductor is a pixelart railroad switching puzzle video game under development by myself and MsAsterisk. You run an alien locomotive, shunting cars from track to track in increasingly convoluted rail yards, while minimizing your timer and move counter to keep your conductor happy. #IndieDev
digital art drawing of a narrow gauge alien steam locomotive with 12 small wheels, a saddle tank, two funnels, a coal bunker on top of the saddle tank, platforms on either end, and some blinkenlights on its appliances. Standing on the front platform is an orange slimegirl in a hi-vis vest, with a blue slimegirl climbing up the ladder next to them. Title reads Train Misconductor. Screenshot of Train Misconductor, a 3D isometric perspective train game with faux pixel art graphics. Here we see a straight track with a parallel side track connected at both ends, with a pair of stub-tracks sprouting off in opposite directions. On one siding is a boxcar, on the other is a tanker. The tank truck and forklift next to each indicates they are parked in the wrong spots. The yellow tank engine from the drawing at the top of the post is also visible. The control stand is a skeuomorphic interface resembling the electronic control stand of a diesel engine, albeit with a brass pressure gauge and sight glass over the throttle lever. There is also a digital clock for a timer, and a mechanical counter displaying the move count. Screenshot showing an Inglenook Sidings level, with a 4 car long track fanning out into tracks of length 5, 3, and 3. There are eight boxcars of varying colorful liveries. The locomotive is shunting some of them. There is a warehouse on the longest track. screenshot shows a Timesaver level. A track with a passing loop is connected by a switchback to another pair of sidings, with two stub sidings at either end and one in the middle. There are five cars of varying types parked on each track. The g.u.i. shows placards with icons of each car hovering over that car's destination. The mouse cursor mouses over a refrigerated boxcar, highlighting the car in white.

It does like suck how much you feel like an outsider when entering servers. And one or two kinda med interactions you go "well this'll never get better" and leave. Sigh

Bluesky's lack of a coms team does indeed give us some of these funny moments such as:

"You're aware that you are ostensibly speaking for the company with the current role you have and the subject matter you're wading into, right?

what?"

I do find it hilarious how they immediately backtracked after this and deleted the comment
a member of bluesky saying "Yeh" in response to the above post, with a journalist responding asking to get their exact quote over the thread in which the bluesky member responds with "what" and the journalist then rephrasing the question only for the bluesky member to delete the entire thread
