It's Asian Heritage Month! As a Chinese Canadian poet, I felt that it was important to recommend some poetry collections that I don't think are as popular as the usual mainstream poets. Let me know your book recs! #asianheritagemonth #booksky #writesky #bookrecs #indiepoet #poetry #poets

Inspired by my spring gardening, Earth mugs are here! These are the first in a four part elemental series of mugs (earth, air, water, fire). I'm really pleased with all of the small golden crystals throughout the glaze. How do you like them?

What's this? Two vocab posts in a row? Today's word of the day, 'cháf', is related to yesterday's. Because Torrian doesn't distinguish between genders, this word is used to describe the spouse or partner of the 'yùt' or House Head. #worldbuilding

I generally think we as a society must let go of the idea that we are entitled to what creators are making. I mean, we must adopt a French approach to going to the restaurants but with stories (book of movies). When you go to a French restaurant you don't get to say stuff like "no onions, but

I see ads on sites using genAI for their banners, often for popular brands. But the only takeaway I have is that if they cant be bothered to pay a marketing team, theyll prolly also cheap out on their products.

Seeing lots of folks pull back from publishing in a big way or quit altogether, and while it saddens me - and I'm far too stubborn to do it myself - I get it It's HARD out here, especially with fuckery going on at both Amazon & Ingram + people tightening budgets as probable recession looms 1/?

If you get bait-and-switched into an itchio bundle where the creator makes it seem like it's paid and then sets it to free, meaning you can't even link to your Itch items without the bundle banner appearing over your listing and letting everyone know your work is for free, you can hide the banner 🧵

There are so many, many reasons to detest genAI / LLMs / chatbot incarnations thereof, but the lack of genuine human feedback is one that needs WAY more attention in my opinion. [to be clear: OP expresses these ideas across multiple threads and more succinctly, I just thought of an analogy] 🧵

Today's word of the day is 'yùt', which can't really be translated directly but refers to the 'House Head' or a person in charge of the majority of leadership or administrative decisions of a household. It's normally used for nobility but can be used for common households too. #worldbuilding

I'm back with another ✨ worldbuilding fun fact ✨ Torrian, the language spoken in Kies Tor, doesn't distinguish between genders. Where we have different words for ‘king' vs ‘queen' or husband & wife, Torrian usually only has a single word - ‘dronik' for a monarch or ruler, as an example.
