Just got back a super commissioned piece from the always awesome Drew Shields (@gnarlyghost.bsky.social) for a game project I'm working on. Here's a snip:

Attended No Kings in Glen Burnie, MD yesterday. Couple hundred there standing up for our rights, democracy, and decency.

I'm looking out at the snow here in Maryland and wondering if it's a good thing or a bad thing that it put a blanket on the anniversary of J6.

Merry Christmas for all who celebrate, and good wishes to all!

Made a new friend on the plane yesterday.

Went to a craft fair yesterday at a local high school. Favorite part of the visit was the art wall.

Ok map-loving folks! Get your feed fix by following this fantasy cartographers starter pack! go.bsky.app/SFFZRsq

And if I missed anyone, let me know in the comments and I'll add them.

I'm loving the starter pack idea here, but I don't like to follow random strangers and a lot of the packs are too huge for me to go check everyone out individually. I appreciate when there are maybe 20 people listed. I'm likely to follow 80~90% of them in that case.

Okay, I deleted the Twitter app from my mobile. I'll still be checking in occasionally from the website for the few good people over there who haven't made the move.

I'm really pleasantly surprised at the whole community here of writers, artists, and book-lovers. I found a few on the Other Place, mostly artists I'm re-following here, but it's way better here. Also more cats.

I've decided to unfollow people over on Twitter as I find them here. It's mostly to save time reading, but also to nudge myself to make the change. I've been very encouraged by all the posts about art, books, and libraries. Also way fewer mocking hostiles.

Hello Bsky! I'm in the process of moving over from Twitter, trying to rediscover all the people I'm following there. At some point I may unfollow people there just so I'm not doubling my reading, but I hate to remove support from people I enjoy.
