Fantasy in My Backyard is an urban fantasy world-building TTRPG funding during #ZineMonth 2026 on Backerkit! I'm delighted to layout this project.

Using a city map and a deck of cards, players uncover a magical hidden world in their very own neighborhoods. 🧵

Brother if reading the Epstein files and seeing the world’s richest white men OPENLY PLAN how to kill off the poor and non-white of the world doesn’t convince you to:

- get vaccinated
- wear a mask
- take care of your fellow man and neighbor
- look out for children

You’re lost.

The art form that I do is comics. I think my ideas apply to your art forms as well

1. Get a pencil and a pad

1a. The pad costs $1.29 from the pharmacy and the pencil is free if you go into a library. I think you can just grab one, they won’t chase you

Unfortunately, my donation goal hasn't budged since the last time I posted it. I need to pick up $35 worth of medication today, so if you enjoy my work and you're able to toss a few bucks my way, I'd appreciate it.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Here is a thing:

There were several years when I was one of VERY few journalists seriously covering harassment and abuse issues in comics (and by extension sometimes video games). During that time, I became the Person People Told Things To.

We hit 200 backers which is rad!

We're over halfway funded now!! I'm stoked about it :)

We could definitely still use your backing, if you're looking for a fantastic TTRPG where you use a real map to uncover a hidden, magical world.

I'd love to play this again and again, particularly if we're using a map of my hometown

I found the words to describe Sapphicworld the other day, and I put them in the book. It's some writing the game's needed for a while, and I'm very proud of it.

Anyway, Microsoft's gaming products are subject to a boycott from the BDS movement, due to Microsoft's ongoing support for the IDF. Bethesda is owned by Microsoft.

I'm not going to stop yapping about this. Granted, I am biased because I'm doing layout, but also! This game feels really special, particularly for someone like me who cares deeply about their home city. Consider backing! :>

Sharing again.

Thank you for the continued support 🖤
Both accounts went negative today because I’m still catching up on everything. This is overwhelming. I keep hitting my goals, thank you to everyone, but I can’t hold onto anything for long cuz something always has to be paid.

I’m behind on so much. I’m trying.
Anything helps 🖤

"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."

A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.

Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.
Homeless Oregon youth got $1,000 a month for two years. Most found housing after • Oregon Capital Chronicle
Oregon is the second of its kind in the nation to implement the direct cash transfer program after New York City.

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

It is Black History Month, here is a chance to support a Black, queer, and non-binary creative ❤️✊🏾 please repost too!
If possible, I would appreciate some funds for getting through the week. I got a job that I’ll start working outside of school, but I haven’t started yet. Anything helps 🖤

This will go towards EOM bills, Ichi expenses (more food, litter, etc.), and groceries.
