Cut from this excellent interview about the 100 One-Page Jam is my breaking the news to @gshowitt.bsky.social that Imgur is blocked in the UK.

It prompted him to yell "KEIR!" like an '80s action villain.

One hundred one-page RPGs later, Grant Howitt isn’t ready to quit

Don’t you dare call it a legacy.

The Trump administration is apparently pulling some disability-related shenanigans and disability checks got pulled without explanation.

If you can support Eva, please do! This is one of the funniest little bits of art ever and I love it so much 😂❤️

I think this remains the funniest thing I drew this year

Sketch of Dr. Harvey from Stardew Valley grabbing my OC Mel by the shoulders wearing an expression of utmost horror. Mel is understandably startled by this.

One major source of funds fell through because my LOCAL BANK KEEPS DECLINING THE TRANSFER 😡😡😡😡 So Buy Me A Coffee and Patreon remain my most reliable methods of getting the money over to them. We're still at about $600 left by next month. 👇🏽

Eva I. @isthiseva.bsky.social · Sep 7

Did the math and it's looking like we'll need to raise another $1000 (USD roughly in two-ish months.

Again, if you enjoy my work and would like to show your support to this person, feel free to check out my shop!

Alternatively, you could sub to my Patreon as well I suppose:

A promotional graphic for Is This Eva's Patreon. A speech bubble at the top reads: "Support me on Patreon!" Below are circular images depicting the three available tiers: $1 (Need For Seed), $5 (Best Buds), $10 (Beleaf In Me). Decsriptive text reads: "For early access posts, WIPs, time-lapses, high-res downloads, exclusive art, process notes, wallpapers, and more!" At the bottom is a link leading to my Patreon page. A character walking across a sunflower field holding a basket of sunflowers is imposed over the graphic.

I was the kid of two religio educators [who also taught me to question everything/authority a bit too much 😂] so I used to help them by setting out explainers.

I didn't see a symbolism explainer on Wiki so here's a link if helpful! catholicism.org/the-twelve-d...

The idea was that when it was illegal to teach things openly, the song was a bunch of symbols like "four calling birds" = "four gospels" etc. [disclaimer: I learned a Catholic symbolism for these, not sure if it's consistent across Christian branches]

I have gotten some exceedingly generous donations to this that - not gonna lie - I teared up over a little. It often feels, weirdly, like I'm yelling into nothing despite all of my work in and with ttrpgs spaces.

Still a ways to go! Please repost and donate if you can.
