Buddy they are blowing right through you like a tattered screen door. I’ve seen them in the sky over my neighborhood and watched them disappear my neighbors. They’ve come and taken and you’re not stopping them.

does this mean that in case of tear gas or- i dunno, a plague of frog wizards- you will be riding your bike up and down actual stairs?

please tell me you are charging for shipping at the time of fulfillment and not paying your customers’ packing/shipping fees from this main fundraiser.

I thought apple pie was my favorite until I made strawberry rhubarb and now I’m not so sure, but it’s probably still apple. So, what’s you’re favorite pie, unless you’re a cake person, in which case what kind of cake?

My grandma also collected these. She had them arranged in a lead letter drawer hanging on a wall in her bedroom.

You are *already* a creative powerhouse, but yeah the system and money hurt many/benefit few. We're rooting for you always.

My resume is basically: 20 years dog walking, unemployed 1 year, 5 years grocery clerk. There’s a 50/50 chance the next entry is either “Hospital Orderly” or “Janitor.” A job is a job.

One of the first shots of the Alien in AE was just the static alien prop slowly rolling backwards on a dolly to “look” through the Muthur window. Was a laugh out loud moment for me in a bad way.

The layout and art in Straight Arrows by @raccomputing.bsky.social for MothershipRPG is so great. I’m terrible with words for art, but check it out!

Had a surprise in my mailbox! Straight Arrows!! :3
The zine came out really nice in print!! Collage often better blend when printed. There is so much in there to digest. Love the map work. Everything feels handcrafted with love, which is a good contrast with the space coldness of #Mothership.

I got these pains after my appendectomy. They ached worse than the surgical incisions the first couple days. Sucking them out with a syringe definitely crossed my mind.

#MothershipMonth2025 teaser pages are going up. I'm really looking forward to "All On Red" by @discodan.bsky.social is an urban district crammed around a metro line with a gambling den atop the community surgical clinic. It's grim, but clever with neat characters. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

Are you building the SBT freighter in no man’s sky?

I watched this one after listening to an interview with Jordan Peele where he described how much the narrative and pacing informed some of his decisions on Get Out. Seeing the tennis court get demolished was eerily dreadful.

I also don’t know how to do this but I have the excuse of being old.

I’ve seen a handful of ttrpg projects that are 100% complete just use fundraising for printing and promotion… but my gut tells me most small projects do rely on some of the money to pay editors/art/layout/writing.

I didn't have enough money to get the bundle with Megadamage, but now that I know you have a whole 8 (EIGHT?!!) page comic in there I'm counting my pennies and hoping for a standalone release.

We're not going anywhere, take your time:-)

Columbary TTRPG @benkinghi.bsky.social · Aug 10

I've wanted this since forever, but making it free prompted me to buy the whole bundle plus a tip. Good luck with everything!

The Canadarm2 was my number one visual resource for my MM24 project's custom boarding craft's cargo manipulator. My silly drawings would be even sillier without this wikipedia entry.

Grabbed those blackout curtains for you. We use those ourselves here in Chicago to help with night time city lights. Stay cool!

Like it's GOOD. You focus on erotic work in it, but there's a lot that feels applicable to anyone who's interested in making art. Also- store fronts are always risky, but itch has been a decent partner for people making challenging work for years. I'd love to see you try and sell more there.

Columbary TTRPG @benkinghi.bsky.social · Mar 29

The best damn lecture about erotic art is up on itch and I think I'm about to re-buy it.

Only 4 hours left to back A Secret Chord, an adventure module in zine form for the Mothership TTRPG. I'm making maps for this and have gotten a sneak peek at the draft manuscript- the setting is GREAT!
