Xmas tree acquired!
A cargo bike loaded with a full, freshly cut Christmas tree secured in the front box, decorated with a large red bow and pinecones. The bike is parked on a snowy, slushy street beneath a highway overpass. Overlaid Strava stats read: “Xmas Tree Pickup — Distance: 5.82 mi, Carbon Saved: 2.04 kg CO2, Time: 52m 27s.”

Studio 346 is a collection of artists, historians, & engineers joined in a common goal: to make our shared love & knowledge of railroading into a fun, meaningful experience. Since day 1, we’ve pledged never to use generative AI slop. Century of Steam always will be a game made for people, by people.
A poem on a paper background, surrounded by several roughly-drawn doodles of Rico and Dolores, Century of Steam's cartoon goat and deer mascots, respectively. The two of them are shown making various doodles and drawings of their own. The poem, in defense of human artistry against a pervasive deluge of AI slop, reads as such: Art's an exclusively human endeavor, Which sits at the crossroad of person and craft, A people without craft is weary to weather, A craft without people is soulless and daft. To put onto canvas a thing by our hands Comes with it a tangible part of our own, So others may gaze at our self as it stands, To know us and smile on what we have shown. So long as real hands and real minds can assure, Incredible works can be crafted and born, Even if some hands are covered in fur, And some minds are guarded by antler and horn. But say I had sought out a local town baker, To bake a confection I vaguely describe, If I had told everyone I was the maker, We'd all see the baker's betrayed by the lie. So anywhere art is not crafted with care, But stolen and churned into some unknown slurry, Remember this warning to heed and beware, Or else we may find ourselves lost in a hurry. Do what you love, and love what you do, But do it yourself, or it's not really you.

Kinda nervous about putting this up, because it's been hanging over me for some time now.

We've never considered a GFM before, but we're in a situation that has pushed us into looking at every thinkable angle.

Please consider reading, supporting, sharing... anything.

I would not be bicycling in Pittsburgh if I didn't start off with an ebike. Although I now generally use regular bikes, my ebike gave me the confidence and power to start riding around this hilly city until I was able to take over on my own.

Even so, I could benefit from an ebike for some journeys.

Think about the implications elsewhere...

​If ebikes double the acceptable commute range in a "flat country with perfect bike lanes", they are an absolute game changer everywhere else. Combining ebikes with even basic safe infrastructure is the fastest way to shift mode share globally.

I can't recommend Pac enough! I almost always go to her first when I have character ideas.
Two male professional wrestlers posing for their portrait. The left character is an athletic dingo wearing dark blue trunks and pads, white boots, and athletic tape around both wrists. The right character is a taller, stronger wolverine wearing light blue tights, white boots, and also sporting athletic tape around both wrists. A weasel wearing a basketball uniform and dribbling a basketball. He has blonde hair and markings, and has one green eye and one blue eye. A handsome rat wearing glasses, a two-piece dark blue suit and bowtie. The rat has light brown fur, white markings and hair and is holding a card. Two fantasy adventure characters. The left character is a hare wearing an overcoat, vest and cravat and has a sheathed rapier on his hip. The character on the right is a monkey wearing a fancy cape and shirt and wields a brass metal spear pointed at the hare.

It’s #SmallBusinessSaturday and what better way to support small business than to shop vendors in the furry community? There’s lots of great deals to be had, which we’ve gathered in this Furry Black Friday shopping guide, check it out! furryblackfriday.com

#FurryBlackFriday #FurryMarketplace #BSNM
An ad that says "Furry Black Friday: shop these deals from furry-owned businesses! FurryBlackFriday.com" hosted by the Furry Chamber of Commerce. Ad features an anthro cheetah made of stock photos holding a couple of christmas shopping bags and holding his hand to his face like "wow!"

A cartoon drawing of a podcast audience in an auditorium. A speech bubble leading off screen reads "we have a segment on this podcast called 'safety third." In the foreground, an anthropomorphic fox wearing a shirt that says "you're boeing to die" side-eyes an anthropomorphic airliner weearing a shirt that reads "I'm boeing to kill you."

Fuck that noise, do it even if you're old. I learned tattooing at 43. I learned editing and publishing at 46.

There is always still time to do or learn new stuff.

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.
