Accidentally learned too many platypus facts in a short space of time and had to go stand outside for a few minutes to calm down

Been tending to what I THOUGHT was a dying fern and happened to notice today that it was doing a little climb.

Gonna go right ahead and scrub "attention to detail" from my resume.

Nice try, nefarious person. My security is impregnable.

This current game industry business collapse is revealing the deep trauma felt by most game developers, especially those who started in the industry between 1999-2008 or so.

Most have been mistreated in some way, most only just realizing it over the past 2-3 yrs of market turmoil.

Zombies are the ultimate American horror story because even when you’re dead, you can’t escape hustle culture, i.e getting them brains.

A library director in Wyoming who was fired two years ago because she refused to remove books with sexual content and LGBTQ themes from a library's children and young adult sections has just been awarded $700,000 in a settlement. t.co/EA5L1kOZfV

My writing device is busted, so I’ve returned to the novel writing methods of impoverished barista Gavin, frantically filling pages of notebooks with chickenscratch.

When I'm working fast on multiple things and I've CTRL+C'd something, I often forget what it was BUT also feel it in my head, like a mental weight.

You too?

I’m old enough that a million bucks sounds like what rich people have, not how much a two bedroom house costs.

Drinking 4-hour-old coffee is the liquid equivalent of eating a slice of pizza that fell on the floor.

Did all my team reviews for @clockworkgame.bsky.social and as a little treat, a little reward, I’m spending the rest of Friday writing a little 1000 node conversation for @clockworkgame.bsky.social.

I know it's hard to make that special thing you're trying to make right now.

But you're still needed. That thing you're creating is gonna turn someone's life around. It's gonna turn YOUR life around.

Building something out of nothing makes the world a better place, and man, do we need it.

A weekly (soon to be daily!) reminder that I need a new job!

My Narrative Design contract at InXile ends 10/17 and I would love to have something resembling gainful employment before then if at all possible.

I bet drivers carrying open racks of logs get used to people speeding nervously past them.
