Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.

A cube made up of four overlapping conceptual apartments with a downstairs that leads to the upstairs of the same apartment unit that rests overtop of the neighbour's downstairs. Each overlaps over another neighbour, forming a cube-shaped apartment complex where each of the four units are made up of an upstairs and a downstairs.

I have a horrible vision for an apartment where everyone can simultaneously be upstairs and downstairs neighbours, perpetuating the cycle of violence:

"Independent bottler Milroy’s of Soho announced that 100 per cent of the profits from the new dram, -called For the Dolls, would be donated to trans charity Not A Phase.

The 13-year-old single malt, which is available from Wednesday (19 November), will raise “vital funds” for the charity"

why is "smh" shake my hams but "smdh" is salt my dainty hams

everyone is saying "prescriptive advice" so I'm going to skip that and go with "any advice I've been given specific to what I was writing that failed to account for lived experience the reader didn't have"

The completed, folded, street corn smash burger taco

It’s soooo good. YOU HEAR THAT, UNRELENTING DARKNESS IN OUR NEWS FEED? WE HAVE STREET CORN SMASH BURGER TACOS! NEENER NEENER!

Occurred to me that ground pork would work too, and that’s probably cheapest. Anyway. Hope you enjoy should you try! Small things help sometimes.

This is my second bookmarked post on bluesky ever. The first is from you too, and it is also a recipe 😂

Some corn niblets in a skillet getting a bit of char on them. You can use olive oil or avocado oil.

HEY KIDS, WANNA COOK A STREET CORN SMASH BURGER TACO WITH UNCLE KEVIN? LET’S GO!

You don’t even have to do the burger part. Just the street corn will measurably improve your life. So let’s start there. Open a can of corn, dump in a skillet with oil, & char

So, if you're in a similar boat:
* you are not alone
* publishing is harder than it used to be
* people are only showing their highlight reels; you don't see all their disappointments
* fomo is baked into the internet
* art will save you when nothing else will
* WRITING IS REBELLION

I think one of the hardest things about being a career writer in traditional publishing is that writing attracts the neurodivergent brain while the variable reinforcement schedule punishes it. We are all the rat at the water bottle, waiting for the hit of cocaine. You get one win, and you need MORE.

I tell people that if you can do literally anything else as a job, something steady, do that and write for fun. If not, try this, but don't quit your day job until you have a year of living expenses saved up and a good source for insurance. I am fortunate to have a supportive partner.

This is Link. His ball suddenly went missing and then reappeared trapped under his bed. He called his brother Otto in for backup, knowing they'd need all three of their collective brain cells to get it back. 12/10 for both (IG: thegoldenbruvs)

Photo of my fluffy white cat Francie curled up asleep in my lap. On top of her a dollhouse miniature of a sleeping white cat on an orange and white tiny crocheted cushion has been very gently placed, the cat mimicking Francie’s coloring and sleeping position exactly.

Vintage dollhouse cat from my collection. Pictured on Francie for no particular reason at all.

actor martin freeman as bilbo baggins the hobbit, sitting at a table with a ceramic cup on it. he is wrapped in a dark coloured blanket and looking at the camera with an expression best described as 'oh no'

The novel I'm working on right now has a main character that I've been vaguely describing as 'Martin Freeman with anxiety so severe it's visible around his head in stink lines' but now I'm like "Am I just describing Bilbo Baggins"

The Lord of the Wood The cozy fantasy of TJ Klune meets the creeping horror …

he loves clocks and romance novels. he's bad at everything. his family is his sister and her children. he misses his dad. he's autistic but doesn't know it. he's gay but also doesn't know it. he thinks the wood probably isn't actually that dangerous,

Probably more cats and robots today, except its giant mechs instead of robo girls cause im in the mood for some armored core. And while robot cat girls is peak, cats in mechs is a very close second. Actually pls give me robot cat girls in mechs in a game

PANEL 1: OSO, the fawn pug, stands next to DIGBY, the brown dachshund. Behind them is a wood fence, push and a couple trees. OSO: I bark at you. You bark at me. PANEL 2: Close up on OSO and DIGBY and he continues. OSO: And ‘round and ‘round we go. It gains us NOTHING. So let us break the cycle. PANEL 3: Over DIGBY and OSO’s shoulders we see a tri-color australian shepherd stands, blue eyes wide, looking at them. OSO and DIGBY’s mouths are wide open in barking. OSO: And instead bark at Greg. ——— Want 5,000 more comics like this? Join us at Patreon.com/sheldoncomics for the *FULL* Sheldon archives, art giveaways, fun community, and more!

This subpar graphic features House of Idyll, Ride or Die, and Dungeons & Dragons Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd because they are all good books, Brent, and it would be cool if they were nominated for awards or end of year lists or even put on your holiday gift list.

If you're thinking about award nominations or end-of-year lists, I hope you'll think of my 2025 releases. It was a scary year for me in more ways than one.

Halp am trapped under NotMyCat. Can't feel my left leg and left butt cheek anymore.

Been nice knowing y'all ✌️☠️

Artists! Quote with your night art!

I think my favorite part of this was doing a night scene that didn't allow me to use blues and gray.
