📌 The Bean-Sized Bulletin, Issue 23

This being-sized mortal was recharging their energy.

Life has been bumpy, so when that happens, I take a pause, reassemble myself, and then resume adulting.

If you can relate, then you deserve a high five.

Think of this bulletin as your bi-weekly high five! 😉

The Latest

• Some of us humans are about to enjoy a much needed four-day weekend. If you got no plans, come join me for some carefree game time. 'Video Games for Newbies' streams this Sunday 17 at 7:20 PM.

• A surprise giveaway is coming your way! I get so excited whenever I put these together. I hope you do too. Stay tuned for more details.


Word of Mouth

Pun (noun) /pʌn/

A pun is a play on words. If a bird flying overhead takes a poop on the cake you’re carrying, you could say “Isn’t that just the icing on the cake!” But only if you want to be punny.

Friend of the double entendre and other witticisms, a pun is a comedic phrase that plays off of the sounds and double meanings of words. Puns can be quite clever, but often come off as silly, cheeseball attempts at humor.

Need some puns to satisfy those wordplay cravings? I've got you!

Puns always make me smile. I hope these puns make your day a little brighter. ✨


Stories & Questions

"Being open and vulnerable with your loneliness, sadness and fear can help you find comfort and feel less alone, says writer and artist Jonny Sun. In an honest talk filled with his signature illustrations, Sun shares how telling stories about feeling like an outsider helped him tap into an unexpected community and find a tiny sliver of light in the darkness." - TED

Listen, reflect, and answer: How have your experiences with loneliness changed your self-understanding?


Dice & Games

"Sure, it has ‘golf’ in the title but that’s about where the similarity to golf ends. WHAT THE GOLF? is at heart a comedy game with puzzles, challenges and loads of surprises. Okay, so there’s a bit of what you might recognise as golf in there but loads more of what definitely isn’t! Confused? Excellent!" - Steam

What the Golf? is full of puns and even game mechanics that I guarantee will make you LOL or at the VERY least will make you chuckle quietly in your own head.


Cool Finds

• "Tig Notaro‘s animated special, Drawn, it’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Well, that’s not exactly true. It’s quintessentially Tig Notaro: dry, gently sardonic, softly sprawling stories that pull back the curtain on the every day absurdity of just being a human being in this weird world." - Autostraddle

Tig Notaro's comedy is something else. If you're into comedy, you will probably, most likely, definitely want to watch this special.

• "If you have dabbled in the indie pop genre at any point in time, chances are you have come across the work of Sven Gamsky, widely known as Still Woozy. [...] Gamsky has zero restrictions when it comes to adding distinct creative elements to his songs. [...] Gamsky’s down-to-earth personality, as shown through his lyrics, combined with gentle melodies creates a sound that simply feels like home." - Kinda Cool Magazine

Happy melancholy FTW, right?
