Hey, all! I’m a #musician, a #fiberartist, a #seamstress, a #book dragon, a #boardgamer and #videogamer, and in general, I never met a craft I didn’t at least want to try. Transmen are men, transwomen are women, abortion is healthcare, and science will save us. GenAI is theft; stop using it.

It's my birthday so by law you have to at least visit the shop and go "wow what a good girl you did this all by yourself" & some local bylaws demand a purchase. I don't make these laws!

Thanks for all your support, younger me would be SO HYPED for today me <3

I should also mention, on this #BandcampFriday, that I have four albums, a book of sheet #music, and a punny #hedgehog t-shirt. You know, if you’re into that sort of thing.

It’s #bandcampfriday and I have a new single out called Piece Of Art. It’s about body positivity which is a tricky topic to sing about. I wrote the lyrics together with Shawn Hockaday. I do hope we did the topic justice.

Gods. I probably got the email telling me it was Bandcamp Friday, but my head is buried in family and child folklore right now, so I spaced it. Anyway, here is my favourite of my own (admittedly few) songs. Hope you like it!

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Sorry for the late notice, but I’m going to cancel tonight’s #Twitch stream. My back is acting up, and I’m going to rest and take it easy. I’ll see all of you Sunday for #Speakeerie! (My part will be somewhere in the vicinity of 11:30 pm CST.)

Commissions are open! Would you like some custom art, made with my own human hands? A portrait of your D&D character, or the entire adventuring party? Or maybe a weird illustration of your family for a greeting card? Logo design? Podcast cover art?

I'm your guy! I never use AI in any of my process.

Anyone else having problems uploading videos here? I think they’re maybe supposed to not be more than 60 seconds, but I tried uploading a 39 second video (something I know I’ve done before), and it just isn’t working. No error message, but also no video. It’s like it’s ignoring me.
