The only thing that can warm the granite chill of a hollowed-out mountain is a giant fire-breathing space heater.

Reports from Akron, Ohio: some voters faced issues with electronic signature verification earlier today. Poll workers had to switch to manual checks after the system failed to match voter signatures properly.

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

The Tuomala Worldbuilding Bat (tm) is one of my favorite things to be hit with

SWING IT HARD

BEGGING my library to be able to request it, this sounds rad as hell

If it ain't break, don't fix it

We need many kinds of story right now--stories that show us that cruelty can be fought, and stories that remind us that kindness isn't wasted; stories about suffering and stories about comfort; stories that show how to form community and how to resist and how to take joy in everyday moments.

Even if Rincewind never cast a single spell, he was still a wiz(z)ard to his core.

Just because you're struggling to put pen to paper right now doesn't make you any less of a tremendously skilled and thoughtful storyteller, and it doesn't change the stories you've told or hearts you've touched. 💜

Hello to all new folks! I'm a writer from the U.S. who's working on reading more broadly and getting through creative burnout. If you're wondering where the name comes from, "Tuomala" is Finnish. My most recent book is The Map and the Territory, available in many places: bsky.app/profile/amtu...

We really do share that braincell, don't we? My mind works very similarly, for both work and entertainment - it's easy for me to catalog characters as bridge guy or magic thief, but it takes a LOT for the names to get added as searchable parameters to those files.

An extremely ornate ceremonial halberd head showing etched and blackened designs with various plants, mythical creatures, and heraldic designs.

A closeup of the shoulder intersection of the cuirass, pauldron, and bevor of a piece of 1500s field armor. Some ornate etching of the crucifixion is visible in the lower right corner on the cuirass.

Here are 543 images (1.5GB) of items at the Philadelphia Museum of Art arms and armor exhibit

You're free to use them for anything, even commercially. I tried to focus on details not usually represented in available reference material

FFXIV GPOSE. Fray is holding Sunyaev, a Xaela Au Ra in gold and blue armor with a dark knight sword on their back, with one of Fray's hands on their shoulder and one on the back of their neck. Sunyaev's face is pressed into Fray's shoulder. They are lit by a distinct pattern of sunlight from a window out of frame that serves as a background to the entire image, with Fray standing in the shadows between panes and the light falling only on Sunyaev and the floor.

then I heard your heart beating,
you were in the darkness too
so I stayed in the darkness with you

Thank you for reintroducing me 💜

Photo of a missing slice of cheesecake that looks like a cheesecake hull floating in a deep blue ocean. The "ocean" is actually the blueberry topping on the large cheesecake that we don't see completely.

All I saw was cheesecake boat and ocean for at least 5 minutes

At that scale I think it graduates from LEGO to IKEA! I would LOVE to see what sort of structural engineering is required for building real-life furniture (that can hold big heavy mineral samples) out of the building blocks

At one point I saw an absolutely beautiful, full, working, correctly timed (to within 97% of each period) orrery cross the Lego Ideas page.

I'd give a *shameful* amount of money for the full plans and parts list, let alone a kit itself.
