A square digital illustration of a 6 winged heron with 3 heads/necks but no eyes, in flight. It is surrounded by pastel hued sparkle shapes, and backed by a black circle with a gold border featuring a pattern of eyeballs. Outside the circle there are four stylised purple wings, and 8 small circles showing the phases of the moon around the border. The heron is white and the long feathers of each wing are highlighted in a different pastel colour.

A digital illustration with strong black outlines. It shows a purple figure from shoulders up, with a flat expression. Colourful lined shapes with eyes in loop across and down and obscure most of the figures neck, shoulders, and the top half of their head. Their hands are held up and grasping helplessly at the shapes. The illustration is intended to represent overwhelm as I have experienced it through ADHD.

A photo of four rainbow plated enamel pins on a purple background. They include: an 8 winged moth with a banner reading 'infinite neurodiversity', a mace with a spiky aura and a banner reading 'neurospiky', a cracked disco ball with shapes leaking out and drippy typography reading 'all panic no disco', and a pin version of the previous illustration representing Overwhelm, with the shapes in black.

A photo of multiple acrylic keychains on a lilac background. The central design features s red hand palm up with magical sparkles appearing in the center and a larger purple transparent hand gripping it from below. There is a magic circle behind them, and a banner reading 'warped warlock'. There are other keychains around it representing other d and d classes, including catastrophic cleric, wrecked rogue, druid of disaster, and beleaguered bard. The keychains all have holographic sparkles.

Photo of my table at NYCC 2025. It has a lilac tablecloth with "AK Faulkner, Ravensword Press" in white on it.

On the table are many gay books, a shelf of more gay books, and a big neon sign which reads "GAY BOOKS"

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

Trying to figure out how to incorporate US tariffs into my next Backerkit campaign without over-complicating pledges or having to increase prices for everyone else is driving me a little mad! 💀

(Bk crew v helpful but this is complicated and they've mostly handled this for US creators I think lol)

Finally took some nice photos of my painting, "The Blue Somewhere".
🖤🌿

I'm thinking of making art prints of this one, although it's not my typical style. Or maybe bookmarks? #art

It's beautiful! I love the contrast with the black and white sections, and the little trail of birds. ❤️

Every time you put more restrictions or processes to claim disability benefits, it only harms the people they claim to support.

It won't prevent the (tiny number of) people who will still find ways to circumvent the system.

It'll prevent disabled folk getting what they need.

My least favourite thing about selling art is ordering the prints.
No matter what I do I always wind up with my order paused for 2 days because they don't think my margins are big enough, even though I always use the templates from the website! 💀

It’s #DyspraxiaAwarenessWeek which makes me SO happy - my son is DCD (dyspraxic) and I believe I was misdiagnosed dyslexic as not much was known about dyspraxia. The more sharing and awareness, hopefully more people will realise it’s not just about “being a bit clumsy”. It can have an affect on…
