I have enough art for an #artvsartist this year! That feels like a pretty good accomplishment <3 #fanart #criticalrolefanart #originalcharacters #illustration

a nine square grid of illustrations the poster has made throughout the year, along with a photo of the artist in the center square wearing horns and animal ears. Square one: a grinning witch. Square two: A person sprawled on the ground with their hand raised in fear. Square 3: a rat wearing a raven skull and a bright red cape. Square 4: a skeleton holding a mask of a face and wearing a green ribbon. Square 5: the artist. Square 6: a distraught reindeer skull. Square 7: A many eyed wolf like beast with a goofy grin. Square 8: a cartoonish Imogen Temult dressed for the snow. Square 9: a content man in a plush sweater among flowers with a spider on his shoulder

100% yes I would want to buy creepy crafts from Laudna at the saturday market she'd inevitably haunt while her adorable wife handles transactions because she's too excited to talk about bones to remember to take any money

getting my hands back in order by drawing my favorite undead princess <3 #laudna #criticalrole #criticalrolefanart

A black and white cartoony drawing of a woman in a dress who is sprouting branches from the left side of her body. She is grinning with sharp teeth at a rat with a bird's skull who stands in her branches, and patting the side of a snarling black wolf with her right hand.

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

Ars Technica @arstechnica.com · Aug 27

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action

Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

#worldcon2025 was filled with silly dances, professional growth, fascinating conversations, and community. And yes, Macarena to pop songs as well.

If you see this faun at the #criticalrole Indy live show on Saturday, come say hi! I have postcards to hand out! And maybe some monster teeth idk. #FearneCalloway #cosplay

A photo of Megan Lee Bees in cosplay as the character Fearne Calloway from Critical Role's third campaign. Megan is seated, wearing a green wig and horns, pink shirt and skirt, leggings printed to look like fur, and furry hoof shaped boots. She is surrounded by greenery, and there are flowers all over her costume.

the number below doesnt work, as Stripe has changed their number, and is demanding a $2.99 fee to even tell you what it is.
however, this number DOES still work and will let you leave a message:
