The Salt Keep is in this bundle on itch.io, live now! There are nearly 400 games (as well as TTRPGs and dev assets) in this thing for only $8, and all proceeds are going to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund (PCRF).

Check it out if you want to help out, or if you even just want to pick up an absolutely absurd number of games for a low price. It runs until April 29th, possibly longer if they get the deadline extended.

Bringing this back because sometimes I forget just how MUCH I’ve done…

Also some more close up pictures in this imgur thing: https://imgur.com/gallery/mfOQJSW

One of my favorite pictures ever of my collection. Now we’re up to 643/1025! I was going to do another massive photo like this at the halfway point but I do not have the space for it so they just keep getting added to my ceiling.

A thing I love to do is telling prepper dudes that one of my disaster readiness skills is making stuffed animals. They never get it. Like, my dude, when things get very bad and we're all sharing overcrowded shelters, you're gonna want the power to comfort children. Trust me.

You know what, I got a whole bunch of fabric / old clothes at home and no idea what to do with it. I might just learn how to do this too

Then you might be interested in a database with hundreds of free plushie sewing patterns of just about any animal, as well as dinosaurs, pokemon, etc: https://craftresource.fandom.com/wiki/Plushie_Sewing_Patterns

and a little more chalenging but my personal favorite: - totally not that one shark from a Swedish furniture chain store that everyone loves: https://freesewing.org/docs/designs/hi

Some knitting patterns are like pastry recipes* and some are more like soup recipes**.

Normally, I knit soup, but I’m knitting pastry at the moment and it is a different experience.

*follow these instructions exactly

**here is one way to make soup, but you can always just use this as a jumping off point and add whatever’s in your fridge and you will still get soup

Currently knitting more of a cake recipe. You can play around a bit but don't fuck too much with it or you'll end up with something flat and dense and sad but still edible.

Not many people will see your struggle, but you don't need permission from the eyes of others for you to live.

Let the grand graces give way to small ones. Carve a piece big enough for your plate and enjoy every bite. I mean really enjoy every bite. Texture, taste, every herb and spice that you can find in your pantry. All of these small pieces of you. Love them. Love them because they're yours. They're yours and no one else's.

Know that you don't need to do anything to be loved. I may just be a username to some of you, a random small artist to others, maybe even an acquaintance, a friend, a partner. Maybe I may just be the thing that grabs your attention for a few moments.

But you're all more to me than I ever could have thought. You're life. You're life! You have a favorite food! A favorite color!

All of the quiet parts of you are beautiful. Every thing you wish people would ask you, every detail you wish wouldn't go unnoticed. The death that is avoiding/accepting the fear of being seen or heard or known or loved is not worth what makes you you.

I'm proud of you. I'm so, so, so proud of you.

I'd give you everything if I could. I want to. God knows I want to.

Let this be our quiet celebration between us. You're going to do great things and make so many people happy just by being who you are. Even if it's hard to feel.

People love you. People will love you. People have loved you. You deserve love. You matter. Your thoughts matter. Your likes and dislikes matter. Your dreams matter. Your favorite color matters. Your favorite animal matters.

I see you, and I always will. Everyone who sees this. I'll hold all of you innumerable in my thoughts always.

I love you.

Take care of yourself, okay?
