My remaining shelf contains books that survived a harrowing tournament style-bracket for necessity(work/research), re-readability(pleasure), scarcity(that GDC book is how much), and sentimental value(we've been through so much together.)

Little do they know, we've got to do it all one more time. 🔥🪦

I am down to my final pass on downsizing my overgrown book collection. Plenty go back to the book shops, more to Little Free Libraries. A half-dozen small boxes go to stay with relatives, like children on an extended holiday.

I want to ask the world to be gentle with us. After all, this is our first time.

You gave Loki the best life. It doesn't take away the hurt. But I refuse to believe that it doesn't count for something. 🫂

It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness, that is life. 🫂

But, the words... *waves towards them with the flogger unconvincingly*

Some nights, the prose comes easily and the word count flies. Other nights, I flog the same rote paragraphs over and over.

Guess what kind of night it is.

No stream tonight. Next week, I promise we will be up to more crafty nonsense, book discussions, and spooky occult shenanigans. 🫶

I truly, DESPERATELY need you to believe me when I say that I did not have a baby as a Bit

(Me and my wife did have our first kid today though)

Ellie Tsang | FaireMortal @fairemortal.bsky.social · Sep 16

Classic Xalavier! We all believe you, 100%. 😉

Congratulations!!!

Ellie Tsang | FaireMortal @fairemortal.bsky.social · Sep 15

Agh, that's doubly good! I'll try to bring some acceptably spooky books to the mix!

Ellie Tsang | FaireMortal @fairemortal.bsky.social · Sep 15

That's rad. Love a Little Free Library!

I've been working on gathering some books to drop off at a local one. I'd be happy to drop off a few to fill it up once you've built it!

Toad went back into the house. He got into bed and pulled the covers over his head again.

Toad is buried under the covers in bed.

Cheers, Luther. Appreciate you, friend!

Re: news

Everyone can feel what they're gonna feel. Hell, make some art out of it, or throw a party, or let it drive you into the arms of your people.

But damn, let the tender ones have a way to process too.

Introversion, silence, or an aversion to violence, isn't the red letter you think it is.
