Three comic panels. Close up photographs of ornate buildings. 
Panel 1: Give me high walls and ancient emnities
Panel 2: ornate corridors that go on too long
Panel 3: parapets that whisper secrets when it rains

a three panel comic
Panel 1: a picture of cows in a wet grassy field. text: she wants what I want
Panel 2: a similar shot, continuing the downwards slant of the hill. text: a patch of land, some animals.
Panel 3: a wider shot of the whole scene, showing the foot of a wind turbine disappearing into the mist. text: energy independent so we can weather the blackouts.

A few years ago I learned that to a highly financialised state (eg the UK), a person in debt is considered far more valuable than a person just working and paying taxes.

After reading that, suddenly every government policy made much more sense…

John Jeremiah Sullivan's 'Blood Horses' - Telling Two Stories At Once | Video Essay
John Jeremiah Sullivan's 'Blood Horses' - Telling Two Stories At Once | Video Essay YouTube video by Eat Books

If you keep on down that road I recommend 'Blood Horses' by John Jeremiah Sullivan. Such a good book.

Here's a (pretty clumsy) video I made about it because I like it so much: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm8C...

I've been posting in comic fury for three months and it has been shockingly benificial to me viewership wise (over 4000 views. ) I have backed them because the value of this space is INSANE!
Guys if you are making webcomics not only use this but help support it!

Not all of the British public *want* a hexmap. Nor do they want to leave their fate to the whims of dice that nobody has bothered to bouyancy check.

I'm very active on #ttrpg Discord servers, but after the recent announcement of age verification using a Thiel-funded service, I've started looking for alternatives. Newcomer on the scene @fluxer.app has people all excited. It's almost a perfect Discord clone, but FOSS and run out of Sweden. 1/

A three framed comic made up of photographs. The images are washed out, a little nostalgic.
Panel one: A horse rider on the beach. Riding in from the right side of the panel. text: she tells me 'sit up straight or they won't respect you.
Panel two: the same horse rider moves to the left of the panel, the head of a second appears on the right. text: but i don't want respect.
Panel three: the first horse proceeds out of left side of the panel. The second horse is in the centre of the panel. The second rider clings to the neck of the horse in an ungainly manner. text: i want to live.
