Oh — @schumer.senate.gov, interesting that your name came up a week b4 (unless you can name me another New York Schumer that received 7 donations from Epstein 94-98). Personally, I’ve always half-wondered why the Dems never released these under Biden to hamstring Trump. This offers great insight 👍

Reducing Charlie to a father (which he is, and his family has the right to mourn) would only apply wholesale if his brand of violence was somehow his fatherhood. But the Kirk that was TP USA died as martyr to misanthropy. I can decry the death of a person. A grifter’s persona? Notsomuch.

Look, that signature is Trump’s. The words are faux Tennessee Williams/Arthur Miller schlock. Remember that Epstein and Trump were wealthy NY socialites and always on the prowl for ‘up-and-comers’, so of course they were little Broadway freaks. The sort that 💯 shipped Cosette and Valjean.

Darn — back to wishery and/or witchery

Hey fyi, the people who worship money want you dead. I think of our Prosperity Gospel ex-PM who holidayed in Hawaii while our country burned, but honestly? The average ‘entrepeneur’ would never openly shoot you in the street, but will giddily invest in the bullet that goes between your eyes.

Hello peeps! It’s my Birthday, can’t believe but I’m 30 today🎂✨ By tradition, I would incredibly appreciate and be happy with your retweets! As we all know, this is the best gift for an artist☺️

oopsie — karaoke did not, in fact, go well

Something I feel has gone unnoticed in the Donald of it all: why would Trump panic so hard if he was named? He’s in Epstein’s flight logs 7 times, that’s old news. But if Trump’s name was mentioned multiple times, there’s a non-zero chance that ‘Trump’ may be in a list of victims. And that… oof.

Yeah, he’s dying. No way he’s been photographed with a catheter, given carte blanche to play the dictator he always has, and permitted to release That Latest Post without a planned schism. Meanwhile, Johnson and Vance plan to play “moderates”, the normalcy drowned out by MAGA. Charlatans.

Hey #booksky and fantasy readers, Just put out my first bit of new writing in a while, based on a 3yr RPG campaign. I am more on the terrified side of anxious. This story is the culmination of a ton of hard work. Thank you to any who follow, rate, or just take the time to read.

Just found out about Goebbel’s Gator Farm in Florida. Y’all are really just trading ovens for slow cookers, aren’t you.

Thinking a lot today about that Louis Theroux clip where Danielle Weiss pushes Theroux and he refuses to push the crone back (even when cajoled). The segment ends with Weiss, clearly incensed by this, ‘smiling’ and saying “I wish you did push me.”

I have a standing theory that Gen Z, fed astroturfed corpo slop for most of their lives, have taken on a counter-cultural “ugly aesthetic” (think Crocs and giblets, Labubus, Fugglers), which is not only an expression of individuality, but exactly what art needs in the AI age: blatant imperfection.

Dude, use that ‘tough guy’ gob for something, have a spine instead of chasing clout. The world clearly sees the disproportionate violence the troops for your state enact against your own constituents, time and again. Do you want to be a leader of the moment, or just FOR a moment?

Finally getting around Clair Obscur, or as I like to call it, L’ost Oudessey

Look, I’m more a proponent of Godwin’s Law than I am of reincarnation. But it is kinda funny how Trump’s birthday is 9 months (and 12 days) after the end of WW2

I need you to look up the band Little Plastic Dinosaurs on the highest quality you can. I need you to hear me, to listen, when I say: Emma, the lead singer, is playing the guitar. I need you to LISTEN. tidal.com/browse/artis...

‘Cisgender’ is so triggering for folks because it’s the only term given to the dominant in-group that wasn’t created by said group, thus could not be weaponised. send skeet

NOT MY FUCKIGN FAMILY DOG TOO come on

Oop

Other than Amazon, where do you buy your ebooks? I'm asking because a service I'm using is putting my book on multiple platforms and I've never heard of some of these websites. #EBooks #SelfPublishing #ReadingCommunity #Books

Sephiroth comission 🖤

"who is your ideal reader?" well first and foremost i'm writing for me, so jot that down.

i have lost 2 friends. a younger loved one is parroting terf-talk, knowingly or unknowingly. i need to restart my novel along with therapy.

May this be a year in which I look back at this poor kid, who’s slipped in a puddle of crowded train-station sick barely half an hour into 2025, and can think: ‘that’s the roughest thing I’ve seen all year’

You will do readings where no one shows up. You will set up at events and sell no books. Rejection will show up in your inbox again and again. You will say “I wrote a book!” and folks will stay quiet or say “Cool!” and then not buy it. It’s all good. Part of the gig. KEEP AT IT.

So, I’ve often used fiction writing as a way to wind down from stress, but I’m starting to make the foray into forming a business model around my writing and stresses me to no end. What are writer folks’ methods for chilling out, especially around this holiday season?

I find the idea of generating content horrifying both for the generator and the reader—but maybe this right here is also content and we are trapped in a content nightmare where all attempts to avoid content are also content, excepting only silence.

According to Spotify, I’m a faerie cursed with crippling insomnia

The way I can feel this post becoming a tic

"Speakers of the Dead", illustration/concept plate for dark fantasy RPG, 'Gods of Metal: Ragnarock'. Note a bit of intentional design: all the buildings are speakers/amps, or speaker parts. I enjoy painting beautifully horrifying places like this.

fuck why did those cheerleaders ask me what that spelled I wasn’t locked in yet

I was born Paddy O'Shea, and even I have to say that the spelling of Irish names is my pet piamh.

This needs to be said, loud, and often.

One of my favorite Pokémon pieces I ever painted! #pokemon #gen1 #starters #fanart #art

imo Gandalf’s first line has done more for ADHD rep than any mainstream franchise in existence

Hey, throwing this out into the void, hoping to enlist the expertise of some of my new followers (hello, by the way! 👋): In the LitRPG space, I’ve been seeing Patreon (👀) models for chapter-by-chapter releases like He Who Fights With Monsters, and I have some questions 🧵

Null-Touched Fai Hydra. AD Thomas W Babbey Painted for Draco Studios, 2024.

Posting my personal work to identify myself. :) I’m hoping to finally get on track making new art next year!

If you see this post a vampire and pass it on (Been doing some Vampire: The Masquerade LARP — RIP Leo 🙏)

Reminder that these remakes are happening solely because labeling a thing as "live action" that's like 90% cg animation avoids having to pay union animators, and instead can use cheap un-unionized VFX animators

All of us are trying to make friends. Parents especially.
