Hello network. This is real shit. I’m looking for transgender, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming front and back end web designers for a project to help trans people get housing in NJ. This is a paid opportunity.
Please share this if you see it, and my DMs are open for more information. Tysm 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

A friend has sent me a package of a variety of different Warhammer bits to build and paint. Decided to start with this Deathwing Knight mini of the month I missed a while back. Decided to stick to a classic scheme, but with weathering and battle damage.

Not a massive fan of the new BSky icon, but I guess it's more distinctive? 🤷♀️

Holy shit, Elon has had Grok programmed to describe his appearance as slim and athletic and gush about his martial arts training when asked to describe pics of him. This is only not the saddest thing he's ever done because he asked grok to generate a pic of a woman smiling at him the other week.

Kind of weird how Puffin only announced the winner of the Puffin Graphic Novel Competition in a really low key announcement in the kids zone at Thought Bubble and nowhere on their site or socials. The competition was so widely hyped when it opened.

I was Longlisted (top 10 entries!) In the Puffin Graphic Novel Competition with my comic Witchery at Ravenmanse! I'd love to find an agent for this, so please share and read on for details...

Unpacking con stuff and wow... I'm down to my last 6 copies of Errant Book 1!? Yikes, I'm going to have to do another reprint of that. I never considered the possibility that having a second book would increase, not decrease, sales of the first 😅

Hazbin season 2 is very... webcomic-y. It lacks the narrative drive and clear stakes of season 1 and is more like a bunch of scenes of somebody's OCs doing stuff. I feel like it maybe could have used a bit more editing at the writing phase.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Okay so there's a shot in episode 2 of Hazbin season 2 that my Mx is certain was inspired or influenced by my track art for "Portrait" on Homestuck Vol 9. If it was most shows I'd be like, "nah, 100% coincidence", but... if ever a show felt like it was made by a bunch of Homestucks... 👀

It's convention season, so I needed to make a new set of stickers and... well, I just really wanted to draw these characters. I love KPDH! 😆

I'm still amused that I made a comic about magical knights and accidentally predicted, "animal-themed costume becoming figurehead of a protest movement against an authoritarian using the slogan 'No Kings'." about 5 years before it actually happened. 😅

Having been playing Hades 2 since the playtest launched, I'm still kind of processing how I feel about it finally having the ending plugged in and it turns out it's kind of bad and weirdly nihilistic?

Wow I'm glad I saw a random YouTube video that I can just opt in for windows 10 security updates for free for another full year (anyone in the UK and EU can do this btw, it's in your settings). I was about to actually install Linux in desperation! 🤣

When you paint a random spare Skaven for the "rattober" meme and to test a red paint while you have a cold and it comes out as one of the best minis you ever painted. 😠
