Happy 1 month anniversary to the release of my debut book, The Dad Rock That Made Me a Woman. Thank you to everyone who has grabbed a copy, read it, written me about it, posted about it, listened to the audiobook, and more. Thank you everyone who helped get me here, here's to the days ahead.

Today is the 133rd anniversary of the beginning of the CTA Elevated Trains. On this day in 1892, the first "L" train ran from Pershing & State to Congress & Wabash. Chicago is the only city with elevated trains in its downtown area.

"I Know What You Did Last Summer" is the most distinctly American horror premise, "what if there were consequences for running a pedestrian over"

The demo for Shape Sender Deluxe has landed! Our brilliant designer @tanamakes.games has put together a real banger of a physics puzzler here. We've had heaps of fun playing it in the office and now YOU can give it your best shot! 📦🧲 (trust us, the magnets will make sense once you play)

The honest reason I don't have microtransactions/season pass/ads/100 DLCs/etc in Balatro isn't just about the ethics of those practices but because when I play other games that have those things it makes me want to put my computer in the dishwasher and set it to pots & pans

Pinging all my friends to go look at the sky makes me feel like the opening scene in a creepypasta (the southern lights are out, go outside and look at the sky for normal reasons)

The Luddites had a great phrase for what they opposed: "Machinery hurtful to commonality." It's an excellent reminder that being a Luddite doesn't mean you hate technology, but that you hate the way capitalists create and use technology to destroy community and human flourishing.

Today is National Biscuit Day, and it’s about time that I populated this account with biscuit (cookie) sets from the past few years. Here are some of my favourites. 🧵 First up, a set inspired by the delicious designs of William Morris and John Henry Dearle.

The tenacity and dedication of both @ldlewiswrites.com and @wiswell.bsky.social when it comes to how they approach their careers in publishing is admirable as all HELL—to say nothing of their craft itself, which also rules. They inspire me to keep at the publishing grind when it's slow as muck
