1,2,3: Trust the process trust the process oh gooood I don’t know what I’m doing everything is sticky and it looks like a carebear barfed on my workspace… 4: oh. Okay. *giant sigh of relief*

it's independent bookstore day! and incidentally amazon has put on a book sale the same day, because they're undercutting scum! don't give them your money! support you local bookstore in person or use bookshop.org! maybe even buy My book! it's good! bookshop.org/p/books/hung...

I'm very late to the party in sharing this, but the lovely Caitlin Tyrell over at Temple of Geek interviewed me about my Kevdak story in Vox Machina: Stories Untold, and has written a banger of an article about it! templeofgeek.com/critical-rol...

PLEASE don’t buy into Amazon’s booksale this week. They are intentionally trying to eat into profits from Indie Bookstore Day this weekend, a really important annual event for our important community institutions. Check out your local fave or bookshop.org.

mulling over aesthetics for @peculiarityshop.bsky.social's fae mystery box, wrote up some thoughts.

One hour!! It’s happening!!

Instead of believing the myth that three expensive, genetically modified wolves are “de-extinct” dire wolves, let’s look at animals humanity has actually brought back from the brink of extinction using proven science and dedicated hard work: 🧵/6

That’s fine, I guess I didn’t need to breathe anyway… (He’s lucky he’s cute)

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits

Cory Booker has just broken Strom Thurmond's record for longest Senate filibuster ever, which stood for 68 years. Thurmond set it objecting to the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Booker set it arguing against authoritarianism. May Strom's name be forgotten and his memory erased.

The official launch of @caztastrophe.bsky.social stuff is happening today, their page going live. Caz is a transmasc paracord artist and the stuff is SUPER cool. www.peculiarityshop.com/product-page...

OH HEY DID YOU KNOW I'll be at C2E2 next week?? and on a panel about VOX MACHINA: STORIES UNTOLD alongside some of my brilliant co-authors? If any of you will be there, please say hi!!

Ofc I had to include Pluto on both the solar system bracelets I made for the Cosmic mystery box 😂😂 I’m so glad someone noticed!

Experiments in faux stained glass… updates coming soon

Sooo I illustrated a whole Critical Role book 😅

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

We love libraries! PBS's documentary Free For All: The Public Library traces the history of the American public library system, from the late 1800s to the book bannings and budget cuts of today: reactormag.com/trailer-for-...

THRILLED to announce Critical Role: Armory of Heroes! Written by me & illustrated by @anafi.bsky.social, thx so much to @incandescaent.bsky.social, @itsdanicarr.bsky.social, & @criticalrole.bsky.social for trusting me with these heroes & Exandria's history 💜🎲 www.polygon.com/critical-rol...

As the @peculiarityshop.bsky.social's Cosmic-themed mystery boxes start reaching their owners, I wanted to highlight a few of my favorite things I made for this box. SPACE IS COOL.

Instead of fear in a handful of dust, let me show you an orrery vision of stars in a handful of dreams. Pendant by Nibs of the @peculiarityshop.bsky.social. From the "It's Cosmic" mystery box. (I believe - I'm struggling with verbal descriptions tonight, please forgive.) (more to come, 1/day)

Actual image of the shop group chat when someone posts a pic with our art:

Three It's Cosmic boxes, people cracked their eggs with us to buy jewelry that affirms them. We get teary every time. Thank you for this honor. 💙💗🤍💗💙

Thank you for asking! You are online on 4/10 at 12 EST when we release the hounds--erm, the preorder link. We're still gathering data on how many slots each crafter has open and what workload we can take on for these boxes.

ICYMI, for Women In Horror Month, I'm at Psychopomp with a whole lot of excellent books you should be reading this month and any month:

Every mystery box, we send new art from artists we've hired as freebie loot/stickers. In this case, as the last, we sourced from our own talent (they are ALWAYS paid for their additional work.) When I asked if Nibs would create for us, she delivered, and she delivered HARD. @hernibsen.bsky.social

I just got a new batch of the wooden skulls delivered so expect more of these sooooon #crafting

It was such a freaking honor to get to do the art for the upcoming Oberon’s Court mystery box—and as you can hopefully tell just by looking at it, I had a BALL. …I love faerie shit so much I am going to make such EXTRA jewelry for this box

We’re killing millions of people to end a program most people never heard of for a (at best) marginal financial benefit we will never see to appease a billionaire that doesn’t care about anyone

Keeping the existential dread and despair at by by ⭐~crafting~⭐!!! Beaded bookmarks!! Because your books deserve to feel pretty, too. Coming soon to a @peculiarityshop.bsky.social near you! (And yes, of course I had my copy of Vox Machina: Stories Untold model one 💅 how could not?)
