Please...if I put a bell on the counter for you to ring when I'm not there, ring the bell. Don't just sit there silently, or shout, or whatever else. Ring the bell

I've seen an old misunderstanding going around; that libraries don't benefit authors. But they do! A lot! Here's how:

If you were told you could play a gunslinger in a game, what fantasies would you want to be able to fulfill?

If you do creative work for hire your contracts likely specifically forbid the use of AI. Turn it off and let google know they are compromising your livelihood.

x-23 turnaround

Seeing someone double and triple down again and again on interacting with absolutely vile content creators for the absolute dumbest reasons is so tiring

I'm giving away EVERY Masters set EVER! It's Masters Masters! I'm giving TEN PEOPLE each one box of Masters from the entire history of Masters sets as a thank you! Just donate in multiples of $4.00 to @translifeline.bsky.social until Feb 15 at 11am PST! Donate---> give.translifeline.org/tolarian

Realizing all the people trying to figure out what system campaign 4 of critical role will be totally missed the “will lucky and silvery barbs be banned?” comment from Sam

The foreword of Tales of Earthsea alone would make reading this series worth it even if the books weren’t as amazing as the actually are

Been creating characters for Draw Steel in my off time and honestly it might have my favorite character creation of any TTRPG I've checked out

Speaking of random D&D thoughts, I think people should mix and match their ability scores with skills more often. Strength (Intimidation) isn't the only one you can use! Why not try out some Charisma (Sleight of Hand) or Intelligence (Animal Handling). It's just so much more fun (to me)!

Every now and then I'm reminded of the whole "Roll Persuasion or Deception and don't say which" idea for lying to other players in D&D and I try and explain why this doesn't make sense to me, but I've finally figured it out!

AI isn’t bad because it’s not good enough to replace human creators, AI is bad because we shouldn’t want to replace human creators

I try so hard to get through to my dad when it comes to politics and it's been breaking my heart for years how much he refuses to budge on anything at all

Finally figured out a way to trick my brain into letting me brush my hair consistently

You can be happy in a situation and still be better off not in that situation, but man is it hard to realize that

A Just finished Wizard of Earthsea! So short, but it was so much of what I like in fantasy. Wish I’d checked it out years ago

Also I’m seeing so many posts saying “4 years to go” or something similar and I can already tell that people don’t understand that this doesn’t just go away after 4 years

Generative AI is still bad, it didn’t suddenly become good

One of the darkest, but less reported, aspects of Trump’s anti-trans order this week IMO is that he directed the DOJ to remove protections for trans prisoners from Prison Rape Elimination Act guidelines. Story at @theappeal.org today from @byadamrhodes.bsky.social: theappeal.org/trump-execut...

I think I’m fully caught up with the Cosmere books outside of White Sand (I think a novelization is coming?) and so now I need to find something new to get into

Now I’ve just got the Arcanum Unbound stories I haven’t read and White Sand left, wow

I went into Yumi and the Nightmare Painter knowing I liked the story but feeling that it felt less like Hoid telling a story than it did Hoid reacting to one unfold and now I’m crying at 2 in the morning when I have work tomorrow

What a way to use an epilogue

Masaka is my single favorite character in the Cosmere I think

Aaand just finished the new Castlevania season. I'm being very patient and waiting for Page and her brother to finish it so I have someone to talk to. Yes. Very patient indeed. Sooo patient. Some might say the most patient

Apparently Yumi and the Nightmare Painter was created from Brandon’s desire to write a story where Goob from Meet the Robinsons was one of the protagonists

Elantris finished! Even though I don't think many of the reveals were thaaat surprising they were incredibly satisfying which more than made up for it

The reason companies want to put AI in everything even though we actively hate it, is the same reason they were all in on Bitcoin, and crypto, and NFTs, and quantum computing. It's because these companies can no longer make the line go up selling us products. They've maxed out on that.

Reading Elantris and I’m very invested in all three POVs, but man am I glad I didn’t start here. It’s been so much easier on me already having so much faith in Brandon Sanderson than I assume it would have been otherwise
