That is so fucking annoying, I’m sorry you’re in pain. I’m sure if there was something as easy as a vitamin to help, you would have done that.

Did it because I’m almost done reading it and think it deserves recognition 💜

Art is political.
Creating is political.
Books are political.
Reading is political.
Writing is political.

All of it IS POLITICAL.

Consider if this is your best use of time during a fascist uprising and maybe use it better 🙄

Insane level of virtue signaling happening here and I’m not even a fan of t swift. What good does this do to further your cause? Absolutely nothing.

Valentine's Day Romance Book Bundle Howdy! This is an interest form for a Valentine's Day book bundle on itch.io, hosted by Talli Morgan. The bundle will run from February 9th through the 14th. All authors who submit this form will be invited to the bundle, so be sure you look out for the email from itch.io requesting your approval. T...

Heya! Are you a romance author with books on itch? I'm planning a romance book bundle for Valentine's Day!

Send in the form below if you're interested. All genres of romance are welcome! Deadline for inclusion is February 4. More details on the form itself:

You’re very right, and I need to learn how to step back when it’s getting to be too much. 🥺💜

Watching the world end while I have to figure out what to make for dinner.

If you’re struggling, I hear you. Know that the pain you are feeling just means you have a soul, where so many have given theirs up.

We push forward to spite the ones who would rather us lie down and give up.

I’m not giving up. I am definitely drinking too much. Two grandparents dying at the end of 2025 was and still is a lot to process. I was holding out hope after an awful year that the next would be better. And maybe it will in some regards. But it feels like watching the world end a day at a time.

I have grad school to finish. A new bookstore to run. A novel to finish. All exciting things that should be pulling me forward in 2026, and all I can think about is the fact that we are tumbling headfirst into fascism.

Not giving up the fight at all, but the mental brain fog I have from watching people get shot in the streets, and then watching half the country justify citizens getting shot in the streets, is really affecting my ability to focus on anything positive.

A picture with an orange background and the cover for Awakenings, on which three friends look out at a red-sand desert road, towards a domed city. Your story is my story… In which … an optimist with countless failed apprenticeships, an anxious lizard artificer, and an amnesiac elf traverse a haunted world in a magical, sentient Wagon to unravel the mystery behind the elf’s missing memories (and play lots of board games). An earnest love letter to JRPGs steeped in an aro/ace -normative world

Just three newly-met friends going on an adventure that will change their lives.

THE CHRONICLES OF NEREZIA is a classic quest story full of all the things I love: queer found families, board/card games, side quests, and funky worldbuilding!

I fell off for random reasons but loved it for as long as I watched! The music cues are great (pretty sure the computer worked on Naruto too?) and it has such emotion.

Prettyyyyy
