First Friend 🐈 @runehallow.bsky.social told me yesterday that Adra found Scrambled Eggs as a skinny stray and brought her home, and I had to draw it 😭💖

They have the United States MILITARY carrying that man’s casket for processing off Air Force 2. Motherfucker served not ONE day in the military. He was a podcaster. Racism is POWERFUL

Congrats @sarenstone.com and @runehallow.bsky.social to a successful kickstarter! Surprised with the quick arrival of Follow Me Down 💖💖💖💖💖 Audibly gasped opening my package and am currently smiling like a mad lad looking through this gorgeous art book!

Just the beginning!

Damn you mean itch didn’t actually just abandon these creators but has been working hard with its limited resources to figure out how to continue supporting them? How surprising

It's heartening to see Big Names speak out about this issue, I think it's something artists and creatives from all genres and levels of notoriety can unite on automaton-media.com/en/news/nier...

Free Palestine!

The game industry is a little chaotic right now and I'm trying to do something about it: We're working to raise funds for diverse video game music composers. If that's you and you're interested, please fill out this form! and please share far and wide!! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

From 2016-2018 I posted my webcomic Starward Lovers. Just thinking about it lately... It's an f/f sci-fi romance story about a girl who fights space aliens in order to be with her crush. You can still read it for free at starwardlovers.tumblr.com !!

🏳️‍⚧️ For US-based trans, nonbinary, and gender-diverse people: Point of Pride’s HRT Access Fund is now open for application until June 30, 2025. The recipients of this fund will be provided with 12 months of HRT-related care via the organization. More info: www.pointofpride.org/hrt-access-f...

hey composers! star is spearheading this project (& i’m helping out) 💕 this is an interest check to see if any composers from marginalized backgrounds in the VGM space would like to be funded to create new *original* music

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

Last year the Japanese variety show Gaki no Tsukai had the famous singer Yoko Takahashi go undercover at a restaurant where she fooled everyone right up until she took the stage and belted out A Cruel Angel's Thesis, the intro song to Neon Genesis Evangelion. Just stunning.

Made some for-fun pixel art I hope I can actually get to display well on bluesky 🙃 The Moonfisher

My butch/femme biker romcom comic ROADQUEEN: ETERNAL ROADTRIP TO LOVE is now on WEBTOON! Start your read (or reread) from the very beginning here! I hope you enjoy, please feel free to subscribe and share 💖🏍️ www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/ro...

i wanted to collect links people are posting to good polygon-adjacent sites + ways to follow/support folks who've been laid off from there - almost certainly extremely incomplete but maybe it'll be helpful? haunts.neocities.org/polygon

Dave the Diver is such an excellent game! Was not expecting that intense charm + fire soundtrack + wholesomeness vibe mixed with shark murder! That one goes high on the rec list!

I always try to do something cool for AutismAcceptanceMonth. This year, my autistic pals and I secretly made a videogame - and it's out NOW! It's part of a Pay What You Want charity bundle we've organised to raise money for the Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network. Pls share! itch.io/b/2994/ach-g...

Please help us correct misinformation! Our hotline is being incorrectly shared as "Canada's national suicide hotline open toll free for Americans". We are not a general crisis hotline, we exist exclusively to support the trans community. Find out more @ translifeline.org

You know Alexandre Dumas part Haitian? As in, Count of Monte Cristo, Three Musketeers, one of the most famous French authors ever Dumas. His father Thomas Alexander Dumas was a general in the French military. That's the thing about this racist nonsense, it's a low-information, fantasist position.

Depression brakes The automatic breaks in your brain you don’t want. Instead of helping to prevent an accident they just randomly turn on while you’re on a clear road. You keep driving, but you can feel your inertia decelerate, with no way to convince the brain nothing is blocking the way forward.

"Ah jeez ya got your mind stuck in a digital hellscape."

Our panel (@afnarratives.bsky.social @danilalonders.bsky.social @nessathewriter.bsky.social @gensuta.itch.io & me!) on Queer Narratives Beyond Romance is up on GDC Vault! I believe it's in the free tier? So everyone should be able to watch it! gdcvault.com/play/1034945...

As someone who writes all three and more, I think this is incredible and shouldn't be missed! The paywall is not stopping me at this time, so perhaps you can take a moment to watch or listen.

Itchio everyone, Gumroad is dead!

Today's writing groove for Aura's Luv Parade route is... Sama' Abdulhadi's Boiler Room Palestine set. This legendary set lives in my heart rent free and always will! FREE PALESTINE! www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9VY...

I've been mentally exhausted + fighting my bad brain = no game work done Today I feel like fighting it, so I am. I've set a 1-hour writing sprint for myself.

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense
