I keep hearing
that being concerned
about Covid, or
that being concerned
about climate, or
that being concerned
about AI,
is really just a sign
of “a moral panic,”
but based on the state
of the world these days
it seems immoral not to be
at least a little panicked

As hospitals across the country cave to the Trump administration’s threats to cut federal funding and abandon trans youth, actor Elliot Page speaks out.

In New York City, NYU Langone, Mount Sinai, and NewYork-Presbyterian abruptly ended care for trans kids in response to these threats.

Thank you so much to everyone who has purchased the bundle or even just helped spread the word. This is officially twice what we originally set out to raise, and we still have a few days left in the drive. Can we make it to $250k?

My dog was not pleased that her kong was Big Walk's main foley prop 👁️

I used it for the grab and release sound of every other prop, all the body movements, and all the footsteps. It even came into the woods where I recorded it on the many different surfaces! 🎤

I'm not the first person to come up with this analogy but imagine a mecha anime where the characters use their gundams to travel to the battlefield and then hop out of the cockpit and fistfight because the mangaka couldn't figure out how giant robot battles would work. That's the whole Iliad

This is reminding me of one of my favorite lazy scam attempts that I've received - it was something about my social security account (you know, a US government thing) but was sent from a co dot uk email address lol

If any of you have a favorite in this category, please share, I would be delighted

Generative AI is not only fundamentally based on the rejection of consent, but also *standards*.

Artists have been micromanaged and hounded over individual pixels, academics fighting to defend every minute detail of their thesis, etc, and then are tossed away in favor of the get shit wrong machine.

I wanna remind you all that you *do not* have to use generative AI

There are browsers & search engines that let you disable AI summaries or don't have them at all. You can search for reference images or use random generators for inspiration instead of tools that can only exist by grifting others

Remember all of those times you said you would pick up an indie game if it was on sale.

Now's that time.

Here's a list of solid titles you can pick up for less than 5 bucks.

Before I go on Etsy, are there any laid-off game artists in my follower/repost pool who would be available for a custom DnD party art commission? Four characters, a few special requests, preferably by Christmas? DM me! I have money!

Some things I'm looking forward to, in no particular order:

* A friend's baby being born
* Getting married
* S2 of Bocchi The Rock
* Releasing the Wildermyth Omenroad soundtrack
* Sewing a curtain that I recently cut out fabric for
* Making a loaf of bread for the first time in a long while
