Well played, @evilhat.bsky.social !

We have the data. My longest columns have more readers, who read longer, and who share them the most.

We have all sorts of #ttrpg radness on sale over on @drivethrurpg.com right now, folks!

In case you have ever wondered what the area of a hexagon is in relation to its diagonal and/or side length, I found a handy calculator:

I've worked with both Lady Azulina and Tomas and I can attest they're very dependable, professional, and full of beautiful creative ideas!

My husband, our cat, and I need your help.

• Donate if you can.
• Share my husband's post.
• Hire us for your projects—but understand we need at least part of the payment in advance.

Neither of us like having to ask, but one has to know where the limits lie.

Thanks, y'all 🩵

There's been a sudden outbreak of common sense.

Harlem Unbound was truly a passion project, 1E taught me so much about how to make a book, and publishing 2E taught me how the industry really works. Different lessons, same fire.
Curious to hear your thoughts.

I've had 4 Kickstarter campaigns and now 3 of them have been marred by management abuse of the workers. It would be easier and safer for me to migrate to another funding platform, but where would that leave the union? Shewstone Publishing stands with the workers of @kickstarterunited.org !

Even a $1 pledge on launch day (February 22, 2026 @ 6pm EST) will boost Kickstarter's algorithm and help the project go viral!

In case you ever need to send off a troll, feel free to us this:

There are eight billion people in the world who are never going to buy my products. Why should I care that you're one of them?

(world population is 8.3 billion)

But it's better to block them without comment.

I'm resurrecting my own rant from a month ago because @kennaalexander.bsky.social shared a link that explains this sentiment.

Background: in a career workshop I learned of a concept called a "trust quotient," which is really someone's (plausible) opinion dressed up as math.

I just want to say I'm thinking of my trans friends and colleagues (and friends I haven't met yet). Hi!

I want you to feel like your allies are still here. I just think kindness should speak up once in a while. (This was not triggered by any bad event.)
