Having @gailsimone.bsky.social writing She-Ra? Shut up and take my money.
I'd pre-order the omnibus.

This works! It's so stupid!
The idiom "there's always another ball" generally implies that even after encountering obstacles or setbacks, there will always be new opportunities and challenges to overcome. It suggests a resilient mindset, where one can refocus and persevere, knowing that there are always new possibilities or fresh starts available. Here's a more detailed breakdown: "There's always another ball": is an idiom that means you should not despair or give up on your goals or ambitions, even if you face setbacks or failures. "There's always another ball game": is a similar idiom that emphasizes that things can change drastically and that a fresh start or new approach is needed, according to Collins Dictionary and Cambridge Dictionary. The phrase "there's always another ball" can be used to encourage someone to keep trying, even when they have experienced challenges. It is a way to emphasize the idea of resilience and the ability to bounce back from difficult situations.

Might be niche, but I love Street Fighter: the Storytelling Game's cover.

Really? Mary Marvel could have derived her powers from Sappho? And they changed that?! WHY?!
Screenshot from the Wikipedia (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Marvel) with the following text: In Superhero Comics of the Golden Age, Mike Benton writes: Rod Reed, the executive editor of Fawcett comics at the time that Mary Marvel was created, recalled that, originally, the letter "S" in Shazam was to have stood for Sappho. Rather than give his young heroine the questionable powers of a Greek poet from the isle of Lesbos, Reed suggested that Selene, goddess of the moon, might be a more wholesome choice.

Mina Harker was looking down on me as she sat atop me while I was taking a nap.
She was surely asking herself where was the tuna I (didn't) promised her.

Watabou for the rescue. After tinkering with the generator for a while, I got what I was looking for -- watabou.itch.io/village-gene...
With this, I'm about to finish this micro-supplement in tri-fold format for Thorns & Terrors.
Map of Ravenwatch village, setting of a tri-fold micro supplement for Thorns & Terrors I'm writing. It shows an aerial image of the village, with its points of interest highlighted.

Just a section of the finished map. It's done, at last.
The complete map has the dreadful swamp with its river delta. I really hate making deltas. #TTRPG

My cat Mina is a lot better, and decided to follow me wherever I went today, finally settling amidst my embroidery stuff. Here she is, asleep and purring.
Foto of my cat Mina sleeping on top of my embroidery things. No needles near, but I always worry. Pictured also my guitars on the wall, and a stand I use to hold the hoop where I do my embroidery.

Also, this seems adequate.
At the top, "Childhood fantasy", showing the image of a girl saying "I'm a fairy princess" and astonished by seeing a fluffy unicorn, saying "Oh, wow! A unicorn friend!" Bottom area, "Adult fantasy", showing a woman saying "I can finally afford to buy a house!" and, while blushing, looking at a buff anthropomorphic unicorn, saying "Oh, hello! You look different."

Had to visit the vet today. Mina Harker has some lymphatic problem, it seems. More exams tomorrow. Worried about her.
She's the youngest here... a 10-yo.
