Happy Flytrap Tuesday! Today @sesmith.lol is writing about how some books get the deluxe multiple special edition treatment, what that says about publisher priorities, and how books are becoming, for some, aesthetic performances and collectors' items. Art by @meowwwls.bsky.social!

I just saw a meme that said “get in losers, we’re reclaiming the emdash”. People. PEOPLE. Where are your STANDARDS? It CLEARLY should be “get in, losers — we’re reclaiming the em dash.”

For Hater Week, it's me being right about a topic I am always right about: that survival games rule!

When I was a kid, it was basically my favorite imagination game. I had 'encampments' all over the woods around my house. My dad was a real estate agent, and when he was showing a house, I'd take whatever stuff I had on me, and could find around, and make a little survival camp.

I am team Riley on this one. I like that survival games add a layer of stakes to exploration games, which I like but can find boring. The stakes of survival keep me from getting bored. Also for whatever reason my monkey brain really likes survival scenarios.

Had to read this a few times before I stopped reading "money laundering" instead of launching.

Also in 1986 I was 3-years-old and living in San Diego and was definitely the primary target of this advertising.

You didn't AI generate things you put on a terrifying, giant foam costume like a civilized human.

Also my kid is a theater kid so it wasn't general self-consciousness with performing. She is just deeply immune to anything she considers cringe.

Yesterday at the Renaissance Faire Jacques ze Whipper ended up picking my kiddo as the "kid he talks to" for the show and at one point tried to convince her to dab, including getting the crowd to chant her name. She refused. He gave her props for resisting peer pressure and the crowd cheered. <3

Having a hard time connecting this to the rest of what I know about this movie but okay.

First look at Dan Stevens in ONSLAUGHT. In theaters September 4 from A24.

I knew Sierra better for their kid games but those were foundational for me.

Holy shit.

Republicans have gone through the dictionary — far left, radical, socialist, and now “communist.” These attacks don’t work. It’s not the label that matters, it’s the policies. And progressive ideas are very popular across this country.

Attention Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire folk: I hear ICE is parked in front of the Faire entrance.

Little dude is obviously feeling a lot better because he just lifted a spoonful of bright red jello and joked "Hey look! It's my appendix!"

Good vibes only today.

Their own content warnings, that is.

Romance.io does a great job with this, so does Storygraph, and honestly pretty much all writers of dark fantasy provide their own pretty well.
