So I'm opening an Etsy just to tide me over until I get a new job, so this among other items will be up for sale 🙂

I did it!!!

Zipper is a bit messed up in comparison to how I wanted it to be, but this is my first time making a bag and sewing a zipper, so it's okay 🥰
A flat zipper pouch made from the yellow and black fabric grid in the quoted post The inside of the bag in the previous photo, lined with black fabric with lots of small grey dots

Behold, the writing team of Twelve Realms!

I'm so lucky! I tried to count the accolades/awards they collectively have and I lost track. I'll try another time.

Help us to get to 1K followers so we can make this game and these folks can get to writing!

So, one of the strikes in my area affects getting scholarships for school. I was to receive money towards tuition and expenses, but won't receive it until the strike is over.

If anyone is looking for character art, comms are open!

If you're in Illinois and facing criminal charges from protesting ICE, or if you were attacked by ICE or law enforcement supporting them, I might be able to represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

As trans creators of color, we’re always on the lookout for cool projects by fellow marginalized artists.

The Black Market Guide to Immortality offers a decadently necromantic setting based on Korean, Chinese, and Japanese mythos — and it’s made by East Asian folks!

💀 bit.ly/BlackMarketGuide 💀
ALT: A Way of Transcendence monk sits cross-legged atop a throne of red flesh that unfurls from the unzipped backs of six headless worshipers arranged in a circle underneath them, facing outward, like an organic flower in bloom. The monk is lithe and lean, the top half of their head covered in a flower-like fleshy crown with four staring eyes. Their mouth is visible and smirking. Sleek fleshy armor adorns their torso, shoulders, forearms, and legs in a dark blue color, with exposed organic flesh in a pale white shade. Six small wings unfurl from their back, forming a lotus blossom shape with staring red eyes that point in various directions. Text at the bottom reads: “The Monk. Evolution, immortality, perfection. Maeters.”

Been using Tidal since Spotify went all Zionist-weapon-funding and I love it. Great sound quality, huge catalog, same price as Spotify premium.

The two shot adventure continues this evening! We're playing @montecookgames.com #CypherSystem using the #TidalBlades setting! The charity drive is at $300 so we're doing a giveaway in chat for those viewing! We're also $50 away from the charity drive goal! Let's make it happen! We start at 8 pm est
An image as if viewed from underwater, with ripples and rocky edges leading up to a gradient of dark blue to light cyan. At the top right corner of the image is a silhouette of a whale. Overtop the background image  in the center and upper right of the promo we see Orange bubble lettering that reads: "Oceans Apart - Sessions on 7/23 & 10/1 @ 8pm eastern on https://twitch.tv/thornydryad".

The logos for Tidal Blades, Heroes of the Reef (a white lettered logo with a bright blue outline) and the Cypher System logo (a stylized red circle with the words "Cypher System" in blocky black lettering) can be seen under the orange words above. Below that is more orange lettering that says "a charity two shot adventure benefitting:"

There are 7 bubble-like outlines interspersed over the oceanic backdrop image. In one of them is the Best Friends Animal Society Logo, which is an orange image that looks like a dog face, with the words "best friends" at the bottom.

In the other six circles are images of the various players, with their names beneath them in orange lettering. Wren is in the upper left, Glaiza is in the one below that and Zoup to the lower left of Glaiza's image. At the bottom is a circle with Lissa's face in it, towards the center. Then to the right of that is a bubble with Val's image and finally, Trout is in the lower right corner. Trout's name is actually above its image bubble.

Time to give some massive love to our Season Two Storyteller @potaytayto.bsky.social ! Bloom&Blight is officially a finalist for Best Host of an Actual Play at @nzwebfest.co.nz!

Go show Tay some love, and keep an eye out for your favourite magical girls at NZ WebFest!
Simplified poster for Bloom&Blight Season 2, Part 2, with six white film festival laurels down the sides, and one up top.

Dark background, with art of Dark Lark. Lark stands facing away from the camera, a glowing white spear in hand. The spear has purple and pink ribbons tied to it, and a yellow ribbon is tied in Larks hair. She looks resolute and defiant, her hair and costume billowing in a breeze. Below her, reflected in water, is another Dark Lark. This time, she is in her hands and knees, looking defeated, her hair and costume are limp, and her skirts are tattered. Her spear is a full metallic colour, chipped at the end and stained in blood. The ribbons are missing.

Above both Dark Larks, a pair of red, glitching  mechanical eyes loom in the darkness. The dark background fades to stars at the top.

Seven sets of laurels show web festival nominations. In the middle, a new set of laurels reads “Finalist, Best Host of an Actual Play, NZ Web Fest”. Down the sides are six others. Two read: “Official Selection”, one for New Jersey Web Fest 2025 and one for Sydney Web Fest 2025. Four other sets read “2025 Award Nominee, New Jersey Web Fest”, each for a different category: Outstanding Science Fiction AP (Podcast), Best Sound Design of an AP, Best Premise of an Actual Play, Best Ensemble Cast of an AP (Podcast).

It has always been our ethos to stand against racism, fascism, and colonialism, and we’re not stopping now. As artists, radical imagination is our tool for carving better worlds into existence — worlds where everyone can live in prosperity and dignity.

Hope is a weapon. Let’s wield it together.
