Love in the Time of Lumberjackals! 🌲
Gorgeous commissions from the talented @dracorys.bsky.social 💙
Featuring Evan and Leonor who belong to @calliopium.bsky.social 🧡
Scenes from two original Call of Cthulhu campaigns.
Thanks to Vic for the perfect artworks!
A man in orange plaid jacket and brown labourer's trousers jumps into the arms of their boyfriend, who is wearing red plaid and blue jeans. He seems taken by surprise but ready to catch them. Both are wearing flat caps and brown work boots. Although their faces are partially obscured, you can see that they are both smiling. Styled like a wedding portrait: a man in a dark grey morning suit and a woman in an opulent cream-coloured dress with a draping train. Her outfit has floral embroidery and flower details. She's using a cane on her left side, and he's in black work boots. They both wear crowns of white flowers. He's gazing at her, and she looks regal and self-satisfied.

Important thread from a former NYT staffer breaking down how the paper's genocidal anti-trans crusade is directed, top down, from the highest levels of the organization.

Stop putting bullets in the gun that's killing us. Boycott the New York Times.

The story never ran. Coverage of Cass was taken away from the international desk, per order of top editors in NY, and given to the science desk. That desk had been a leader in promoting anti-trans disinformation throughout 2022-23. (Hundreds of the nyt own contributors had denounced its bias)

the whole "em dashes are a sign of AI because you can't type that on a keyboard" thing is so disrespectful of me, a NORMAL PERSON with custom compose key sequences and a personal keyboard layout remapping i made just so i could type curly quotes and em dashes without a word processor

even people who aren't actively, consciously thinking about how covid impacts things now are very obviously affected by it and by the precarity in society it has exposed them to! it is insane to think that everyone can neatly wash off the psychological impact of a mass disabling/death event!

The Porcelain Fowldyr
A reference sheet depicting a Fowldyr Fowldyr are a closed species created by Stasanie (me) An artwork depicting a porcelain deer against a dark blue background. The border of the artwork resembles porcelain tiles with delicate designs on them. The deer has pale skin with the cool sheen of porcelain. Her head is blue and her ears look like small stylized wings. A wing design is painted on her back decorated with blue leaves. Her tail is adorned with sun and moon trinkets, and ends in an elegant fan design. #Fowldyr #Stasanie

It's not just TomboyX, by the way! Trump's FDA has sent these warning letters to 11 companies that sell Binders.

- TransGuy Supply
- ShapeShifter Apparel
- GenderBender
- gc2b
- TomboyX
- FLAVNT Streetwear
- Early to Bed
- TOMSCOUT
- For Them
- Fluxion
- UNTAG

www.fda.gov/inspections-...
List of recently issued FDA warning letters, all from 12/18/2025. For all of them, the Issuing Office is Center for Devices and Radiological Health and the reason for the issuances are "Failure to Register and List/Misbranded." The offending companies are TG Supply LLC d/b/a TransGuy Supply, ShapeShifter Apparel, LLC, GenderBender LLC, Marli Washington Design, LLC, TomboyX, PBC, FLAVNT Streetwear, LLC, Early to Bed, Inc., TOMSCOUT, For Them, Inc., and Philadelphia 7, Inc d/b/a Passional Boutique.

Today's the last day to pick up the Ban the Ban bundle! 27 TTRPGs for $20 that goes to helping fight for the rights of trans kids to access healthcare in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Thank you everyone who's supported us so far, one last hurrah! Pick it up here: itch.io/b/3421/ban-t...

VERY depressing seeing so many board game publishers and kickstarters fall down this hole. if you can't afford an artist you can't afford to make a game, if you don't have time to make art you dont have time to make your game.

Fantastic video by Pam Walls on the increasing use of AI in board games, and the need (more than ever) to support artists, illustrators and graphic designers in the industry.
