Fun fact about the Salvation Army: they use a form of substance use treatment called work therapy. Oh, and by treatment, I mean they have people who have been convicted of drug charges work for their stores & warehouses in exchange for room, board, around a $1 a week, and minimal actual therapy.

Oh yeah I could.

A linoprint next to the carved block it was made from, printed in a red to black gradient.

It depicts a cathedral from a menacing angle, with the stained glass replaced with eyes staring in all directions

TOMORROW at 11:00 AM, the WE LIVE FOREVER (And We Love To Live) actual play returns! Tune in as our three foolhardy humans dive into the horrid streets of Vermidae, seeking a Pactmaker to give them power. They're gonna have to do this forever, now. Tune in!

A promotion for the WE LIVE FOREVER (And We Love To Live) Actual Play, which includes the text "The filthy pervert AP!", a background with city and sky in purple, a weird older dude with purple skin and hair, a miserable looking dude with short blond hair and a varsity coat, and an exhausted looking woman with ginger hair, a skirt and a t-shirt.

It's funny to scan linocuts at very high resolution.

Cereal enlarged to show texture

A high-resolution scan of a linocut print in a black and red gradient, showing an eye in a frame. The high resolution shows the texture of the dried printing ink

If you can't come out right now, please don't hate yourself.
One day, the meaning of labels will disappear.

Please love yourself as you are.
The one who can cherish yourself the most is yourself.
Because that is your strength and beauty.
Chiitan loves you

Three Take This staff members, all in grey Take This jackets and wearing convention badges on orange Take This lanyards, are standing in front of an AFK Quiet Room vertical sign with information and rules for the AFK Room.

A hand drawn sign. Written text reads "AFK Lounge. You are safe here." Artist signature SB is at the bottom of the text. A rabbit and a cat are below, heads leaned together in a cozy pose.
