Eric always gives solid advice!

There’s no such thing as having too many books!

Until you move. When it’s time to move, then it’s too many books.

Fascism is really exhausting.

Hey! I really felt the weight of everything last week, and I wanted a way to talk through it... so I've been working on (maybe the first???) choose your own adventure game set up directly *in* Bluesky. And here it is!

Would you like to visit the Garden of Fortune with me?

Enter the garden.

Is there really not a #cellosky list yet?

the message isn't "you're bad" the message is "you have to be good like everyone else"

accountability feels like oppression to the privileged

Thank you, Bear. I appreciate your integrity. 💚

Few things in life compare to the sheer unadulterated release of sitting alone in the blessed solace of your car and having a little cry to the perfect song

There should be a guillotine emoji.

My parents have lived in ON for the last thirty years, so it’s not an unfounded assumption! We moved to QC when I was three.

Yes! Born in Summerside!

the labor of art is mostly invisible. what you don't see in a finished piece is all the hours of thought it required, all the little discoveries and surprises and tragedies of production. art IS the process. if you aren't interested in the process, then i don't really know why you want to be artist

friendly reminder that during the horrors we’re currently living in, it’s okay to log off, take a break, and do something that makes you smile. humans weren’t built for this amount of empathy 24/7, you need to practice self care and self love too.

I Don’t Know How To Explain To You That You Should Care About Other People

every news article lately feels like this:

Stop making those little AI image generator memes of yourself as a Barbie or a Ghibli character you are enriching evil companies and destroying the planet and this is like one of the easiest things you can just not do

[“The first people a dictator puts in jail are the writers, the teachers, the librarians—because these people are dangerous. They have enough vocabulary to recognize injustice and to speak out loudly about it. Let us have the courage to go on being dangerous people.”]

Madeleine L'Engle; this is why they want you illiterate

"This Is Fine" meme depicting a dog in a burning house only instead of saying this is fine the dog is saying "So I have a book coming out."

Promoting your stuff in 2025 is weird but anyway everythingistb.com

This.

Seeing sketch lines in hand drawn animation. Seeing fingerprints in claymation. It's like hearing the faint sound of the hand moving over the strings of a guitar when someone is playing. Small imperfections are signs of life.

When is “billionaire on a tiny submarine” season this year again? Really looking forward to the possibilities.

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

Everye cut to a public universitye program ys not onlye harmful to the present but harmful to everye generacioun to come. It ys destroyinge a natural resource. Unintended consequences arise aftir killing learninge. Rebuilding ys possible but will take a long tyme. Say NO to public higher ed cuts!

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there

Nice paper is such a lovely experience. And it’s so interesting to see how differently an ink shows on different high-quality papers.

I put paler inks in wider nibs, so it’s easier to read. But when I took notes at uni it was always on cheap paper, so F nibs were the way to go in case it feathered.
