We launched two book sales — each has 20 books for $30. Itch bowed to conservative pressure, and hid them without warning.

Do you agree this is bullshit? Then help us make them pay.

So in love with this map! @salvaterra.bsky.social was fantastic to work with at every step of this process. It was so amazing to see him bring all my sources of inspiration together into one beautiful, cohesive piece. I still can’t believe that we get to have such amazing maps for our project!

Couldn’t have put this better myself! 💕You did an amazing job at showing what now lurks beneath the waves of this once vast continent! What you see on the map is all that remains of the most elevated, and regained, regions. Even further out to sea lies lands that the sunlight will never reach again.
