Please help Mahmoud's family survive Israel's genocide. Mahmoud is caring for his sister's orphaned children, who are starving, sick, & in urgent need.

You're tired? Guess what, so the fuck am I. Deal with it. We can be tired together later when this is done. Make your damn calls. It's not law yet.

Day two just kicking off at Emerald City Comic Com. Trekker books, art bin, and commissions pd all ready to go. Swing by Table D-25. See you there!

It's the deadline of Thursday. Please call your reps to demand that KOSA does not get through AT ALL! For KOSA is a bill that will harm Trans communities; our individual safeties and many more. Don't delay, make calls. All from outside the US, share FAR AND WIDE! #TransRights #StopKOSA

I had a few extra minutes today to ponder the Firmament, a potential game world built on a megastructure shell encompassing the husk of Old Earth. The players would be fortune seekers come to loot the greatest tomb of all, the home planet, accessible again for the first time in centuries.

I have to confess a degree of righteous glee in burning Sentona Games’ shit down now that I’ve discovered the CEO has screwed over a ton of other people too. I was so beaten down and resigned and now I feel like a second health bar appeared and my swords are on fire now

House hearing on fake "kids safety" censorship bills happening right now. Call your lawmakers!!!! badinternetbills.com

This is why I always say that politicians follow progress, not the other way around. The way forward isn't hoping the right guy will make the right decision at the right time. The way forward is to make it impossible for any politician to do otherwise.

...involves not "representation" or "cultural sensitivity" but actual empowerment, available knowledge, and infrastructure, in the imperial core, that can actually weaponize us down here to create and sell games in spite of the oppression coming both from within the space and from governments.

My nuanced take of TTRPGs is that this space is absolutely poisoned with the performativity US liberals so we from the global south are never gonna get the recognition and support we deserve if we don't divest from D&D and the cultural devices bound to it. That real solidarity across borders...

Several of our games, including Axolotl with a Gun 1e, Kobolds and Trench Coats, and Mushie Missions are in this bundle! Go check it out and help our neighbors here in Minnesota. ❤️

After several months of silence they just emailed me to let me know they will never be paying my invoice.

My success is mostly luck and the skills to capitalize on that luck. And even then it's *relative* success. I can afford to live okay, but I also struggle to get my car repaired or pay medical bills. Comics can and should pay more, but it won't until we seize those means of production.

Hello Friends! I need your help. I loathe asking for money On Here, but at this point I don't have much choice. As you know, my entire practice is "name your own price/pay what you can." More than half my clients pay less than what it costs to represent them. www.patreon.com/c/weikallaw

Every single fucking mental health professional needs to get loud about it this. I am calling on them ALL to join me in that. If someone has a place to point me for providing support to folks there please let me know. Fuck this

Still not a peep on the things Mamdani can do for trans youth after hospital closures. No activation of H+H to take patients. Trans patients are a rounding error for the $10B program. No movement on human rights complaints. No promise to restore care. Rarely have I been so disappointed.

As an author whose book was pirated by Anthropic: using Claude is not an ethical choice

IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN A WEEK!

If you want a logo, call Mike.

my late night thoughts on this—tl;dr, go protest Mamdani's office until he commits to forcing the hospital to resume legally-protected healthcare for trans kids. promises mean nothing, and voting is never enough. Mamdani's victory bought us a more sympathetic target for protesting for our rights.

a trans woman i know is being deported back to the USA due to the Home Office messing up paperwork. her wife is desperately trying to raise the funds to prevent this. they have 48 hours before she’s put on a plane and might never be able to return. please, help if you can. they’re both terrified.

84 years sounds like a long time. And I know in some ways it is. But it's also not that long. I still have living relatives who were in the camps and who were old enough to remember it. This isn't abstract or ancient history. It's part of the living memory I grew up with.

commission for @velnna.bsky.social, who asked for a portrait of Kostya from his comic The Under Garden! thank you for commissioning me 💜 #art

It looks like just another example of AI companies rushing out their tools without taking basic safety precautions

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point. I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

It's a scandal the way children in desperate need of medical treatment are being abandoned by clinic after clinic. It is no less of a scandal than diabetic patients cut off from insulin or poor people turned away from ERs if they can't pay.

I know I harp on this, but thinking Fascists are incapable of learning and adapting has been a terrible thing the last decade (and in the history of Fascism). They’ve been continually adapting their tactics since last year, most notably after LA.

i think lots of people underestimate how badly these “AI” companies want people to be unable to afford computers. they view personal computing as a roadblock to their desire for complete end-to-end centralization. the fact that their tech is putting hardware out of reach is not just a happy accident

The problem with this is that it does not allow students to develop the skills to do this on their own. Also, NEVER use AI to identify fallacies in arguments in this way. Fallacies like the ones listed don't render the arguments invalid and promote a particular image of how discourse takes place.

All of my group chats are responding to Homan’s announcement by asking everyone to double down because: 1. ICE is still out there and abducting people today. We can’t trust the occupation is over until we actually see it. 2. People are going to be in an economic crisis for a very long time.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Just a big hug to all the anarchists in the Twin Cities who get dismissed all the time but knew exactly what to do when shit went down here.

If we believe DHS’s numbers, ICE spent three months in Minnesota and arrested just over one person per agent in that time. The Minneapolis resistance worked. And let the momentum lead to abolishing ICE altogether.

It really upsets me when people say "But your job isn't real work, you're just ✨creating✨". Especially when it comes from someone close to me. Creative work, like art/writing/etc, IS work — with exhaustion, burnout, and hard effort. I just wish people valued that more

If y’all need cams on your porches, may I suggest hardwired closed circuit cams. I never liked the idea of the employees of any company being able to see whats happening on the cams in/near my home. It’s creepy.

It is not too soon to call ICE "detention centers" "concentration camps" nor is it too late to accurately call "juvie and jails and prisons" "concentration camps" too

Simon is great at what he does. If you've been enjoying THE HUNGER AND THE DUSK, all that lettering is his--the fonts, the colors, the aesthetic. Hire him with confidence.

gosh well :( artwork for a cancelled book cover

if you are passionate about this issue, I think it is genuinely worth looking up who is organizing on local, state, and national levels re: privacy laws and online freedoms, and spend a couple minutes sending a message to your legislators about your position.

We asked the Ring CEO pretty directly about this on the show late last year. www.theverge.com/podcast/8220...
