Looking good! You're going to feel so much cooler in the summer.

I'm going to need to save this comic and send it to my clients!

So pretty!

It is a cool book!

There is no marketing I'm more susceptible to these days than any company saying they don't use generative AI in their projects. I'm a sitting duck for that promise even if they're selling graham crackers or masking tape.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you found it useful. I strangely really like making style sheets. I think that they are so useful for keeping track of a bunch of different elements. Most of mine are far shorter than 150 pages.

It's such a cool game. And you learn so much about whales while playing!

Getting it Right (Whale): A Reef-erence to a Whale of a Style Sheet Back in June, when I was a guest on Nadia Geagea Pupa’s podcast, The Editor’s Half Hour, a woman in the comments (I’m afraid I don’t know her name, and I’ve been unable to find said comment) asked if ...

Thanks also to Alan Bahr the publisher. And to @paweldaruk.bsky.social who helped me with some of my research during editing.

I wrote this article about the 150-page style sheet I created to help me wrangle all the game's info together: www.linkedin.com/pulse/gettin...

Blue Planet: Recontact: Player's Guide, features a scene in an ocean where we see a long, snake-like sea creature in the depths and people in thick suits swimming near a man-made structure. Blue Planet: Recontact: Moderator's Guide. Here we're in deeper water with a submarine shining its light on some noodle-like creatures. Are they friendly? Who knows!

This is the week where I get all the packages.

Today I got my copy of Blue Planet: Recontact, the biggest project I've ever worked on, and one of my all-time favorite books that I've had the honor to edit.

Huge thank you to @biohazardjeff.bsky.social for trusting me with his game.

Guess who got her contributor copy of The History of Metroidvania: Decade One: 1980-1990 by Jeremy Parish? I copyedited this in 2024 and got to learn a ton about video games. @jparish.bsky.social has a conversational writing style, which makes this a fun read. www.darkhorse.com/books/3015-0...

Very true! So many of the woodpeckers have super similar coloring, it's hard for me to identify them.

That is awesome that the Royal Canadian Mint uses "toonie"!

I wasn't sure if the toonie was the official name or not, I've only ever heard the $2 coins called "toonies." It's such a delightful name.

A small black and white woodpecker, with a bit of red on the top of its head, is inspecting a branch of a maple tree.

There was a little branch inspector at one of the maple trees this morning. Not sure if this is a downy or a woolly woodpecker. 🪶

This took about twenty seconds (it comes with a very eloquent pre-written letter), and I've already gotten a response from @claudiachenderns.bsky.social's office expressing their concern. Some suggestions included in the response are below:

Thanks, Pawel! Still coughing a bit, but I'm feeling much better today.

Thanks, me too! It's been nice to get back to normal.

Congratulations! They are lucky to have you as a member!

Oh wow! That's amazing! She is truly an awesome, supremely talent, and generous human being.

How long do you think we have to wait until we see pity posts on LinkedIn from current AI boosters with titles like:

"They told me to learn how to use AI. Now I have no attention span"

or

"I took an $800 course on how to use AI, but my clients won't let me use it"?

Nice! She's awesome.

I'm happy to have been able to take my first #stetwalk in a week. I'm still coughing a bit and am slightly stuffy, but it gave my mood a huge boost to be out in the sun and to hear the snow melting.

True, true. And there are plenty of other ridiculously attractive people on the show.

My husband likes the show, I personally find it a bit too violent for my tastes, but I will look up whenever Lee Pace is on screen and not wearing a lot of clothing.

You too!

Map of New England, labeled VTrans Plow Trucks. You can see dozens of snowplows in Vermont and about a dozen trucks in Rhode Island.

Thrilled that my state is providing snowplows to help out our New England neighbors in Rhode Island. While not all of the plows are named, quite a few are. Currently in the Ocean State is Big Dog, Snow Phantoms, Polarplow, Maurader Machine, and Ice Breaker.

That's so cool, Iva, and well deserved!

Cuties!

Sorry for your loss. He was a beautiful cat and clearly lived.

Yay!
