You're tired? Guess what, so the fuck am I. Deal with it. We can be tired together later when this is done.
Make your damn calls. It's not law yet.
Day two just kicking off at Emerald City Comic Com. Trekker books, art bin, and commissions pd all ready to go. Swing by Table D-25. See you there!
It's the deadline of Thursday.
Please call your reps to demand that KOSA does not get through AT ALL!
For KOSA is a bill that will harm Trans communities; our individual safeties and many more.
Don't delay, make calls.
All from outside the US, share FAR AND WIDE!

Linework of various space mercenaries from Mars, free stations and Venus. Cyborgs and monsters.
I had a few extra minutes today to ponder the Firmament, a potential game world built on a megastructure shell encompassing the husk of Old Earth.
The players would be fortune seekers come to loot the greatest tomb of all, the home planet, accessible again for the first time in centuries.
I have to confess a degree of righteous glee in burning Sentona Gamesβ shit down now that Iβve discovered the CEO has screwed over a ton of other people too. I was so beaten down and resigned and now I feel like a second health bar appeared and my swords are on fire now
House hearing on fake "kids safety" censorship bills happening right now. Call your lawmakers!!!!

This is why I always say that politicians follow progress, not the other way around.
The way forward isn't hoping the right guy will make the right decision at the right time. The way forward is to make it impossible for any politician to do otherwise.
...involves not "representation" or "cultural sensitivity" but actual empowerment, available knowledge, and infrastructure, in the imperial core, that can actually weaponize us down here to create and sell games in spite of the oppression coming both from within the space and from governments.
My nuanced take of TTRPGs is that this space is absolutely poisoned with the performativity US liberals so we from the global south are never gonna get the recognition and support we deserve if we don't divest from D&D and the cultural devices bound to it. That real solidarity across borders...
Several of our games, including Axolotl with a Gun 1e, Kobolds and Trench Coats, and Mushie Missions are in this bundle!
Go check it out and help our neighbors here in Minnesota. β€οΈ
After several months of silence they just emailed me to let me know they will never be paying my invoice.
My success is mostly luck and the skills to capitalize on that luck. And even then it's *relative* success. I can afford to live okay, but I also struggle to get my car repaired or pay medical bills.
Comics can and should pay more, but it won't until we seize those means of production.

Hello Friends! I need your help. I loathe asking for money On Here, but at this point I don't have much choice.
As you know, my entire practice is "name your own price/pay what you can." More than half my clients pay less than what it costs to represent them.

Every single fucking mental health professional needs to get loud about it this. I am calling on them ALL to join me in that. If someone has a place to point me for providing support to folks there please let me know. Fuck this
Still not a peep on the things Mamdani can do for trans youth after hospital closures.
No activation of H+H to take patients. Trans patients are a rounding error for the $10B program.
No movement on human rights complaints.
No promise to restore care.
Rarely have I been so disappointed.
Two posts from altnps.bsky.social: Amazing work, everyone the OpenAI boycott is working! And thank you to our international supporters who are joining us. Sam Altman is in panic mode he went on X tonight telling users to ask him anything about OpenAIβs Pentagon deal as the boycott of ChatGPT grows. We know a lot of people are choosing to boycott AI overall, and we support that. AI is terrible on the environment! At the same time, we understand many people still use AI tools. If youβre going use AI please delete the ChatGPT app, and switch to Claude by Anthropic instead.
As an author whose book was pirated by Anthropic: using Claude is not an ethical choice
IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN A WEEK!

Throwing my hat into the ring!
my late night thoughts on thisβtl;dr, go protest Mamdani's office until he commits to forcing the hospital to resume legally-protected healthcare for trans kids. promises mean nothing, and voting is never enough.
Mamdani's victory bought us a more sympathetic target for protesting for our rights.
a trans woman i know is being deported back to the USA due to the Home Office messing up paperwork.
her wife is desperately trying to raise the funds to prevent this. they have 48 hours before sheβs put on a plane and might never be able to return.
please, help if you can. theyβre both terrified.
84 years sounds like a long time. And I know in some ways it is. But it's also not that long. I still have living relatives who were in the camps and who were old enough to remember it. This isn't abstract or ancient history. It's part of the living memory I grew up with.
digital shoulders-up painting of a young person. he has gray-purple skin, chin-length wavy white hair, vivid red eyes and pointed ears. he is wearing an off-white shirt with its collar popped, showing off floral embroidery and red beads decorating it. the character is portrayed in three fourths, looking up at something out of frame with his chin raised. his mouth is slightly open, his face focused. glowing magical smoke is rising from his right eye, completely whiting it out.
commission for @velnna.bsky.social, who asked for a portrait of Kostya from his comic The Under Garden! thank you for commissioning me π

It looks like just another example of AI companies rushing out their tools without taking basic safety precautions
I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point.
I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users Iβm a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion
People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. Iβll explain how I did it
It's a scandal the way children in desperate need of medical treatment are being abandoned by clinic after clinic. It is no less of a scandal than diabetic patients cut off from insulin or poor people turned away from ERs if they can't pay.
