Live auction, next Saturday! #DesertBus #DB2025 #DBCraftalong desertbus.org/2025/prize/G...

I see all the @desertbus.org things happened while I was out getting vaccinated. Hey look, an auction! My craft will be auctioned on stream at 10am PST (1pm EST) on the 17th. desertbus.org/2025/prize/S...

I personally think it would be very funny if the year that James wasn't able to put together a James Challenges Chat Challenge was the year we set a record for pre-run @desertbus.org donations. You should make that happen, Chat.

If you are seeing all of the wonderful crafts and want to know how you can join, you can head on over to desertbus.org/2025/partici... and hit the checkbox to join our Craft-Along mailing list. We will email you when Craft-Along applications go live (and for nothing else, we don't want to spam you)!

So here’s all I’m asking. If you’re reading this and you can throw $5 towards the cause before we start that would be swell! If all 7600 of you who follow me on BlueSky do that (and I assume you’re all active users who read every post I make) we’ll break records!

Plus, the prize schedule's also live! Peruse the listings, plot out your week, and permit us to notify you when giveaways are live with our new reminder feature. desertbus.org/2025/prizes/... desertbus.org/2025/prizes/... desertbus.org/2025/prizes/...

We're exactly one week away from the start of #DB2025, so it's time to open up the donation page for some pre-gaming! It's also a great time to sign up, or update your donor account.

posted this four months ago but tonight as buckaroos like mamdani sweep elections i will post again. hope this is sign to all establishment goofs that trotting to the center is not the move. protect the buckaroos who are in perilous circumstances and do not give an inch

Orders start Nov 4th. 🌵🚌🛸 #DB2025 shirt.desertbus.org

This would be catastrophic to the household finances of every renter, dramatically increase homelessness for seniors & fixed income, all to boost landlord profits. Would destroy any slim chance of saving towards home ownership. Landed gentry pulling the ladder up & devastating ON society & economy.

Oh, hey, it's Ace Week! Hi, I'm Stefan, an asexual / aromantic game developer. Not sure how I keep writing romance games when I have no experience or interest, but it somehow works out. I try to work ace rep into my games, even if it's tangential. Just show that we exist. We're boring and ordinary.

OH HEY I DID A THING!! I absolutely love this campaign. Tune in and see us be funny in Innistrad!

After 2 years away, I think it's time! Join me back at home for Streaming as we Start our journey with the brand new Pokémon Z-A! IM SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU ALL <3 twitch.tv/bengineering

Canadians: The federal government is seeking public input on how AI should be developed and used in business, research, and the military. If this scares the shit out of you, please let them know:

Hank Green described my Pizzamas D&D game as "probably our coolest item"!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_gC... (also it's song Wednesday!) Pizzamas is time limited (only 2 more days!) so please check it out if you want to read something I'm genuinely proud of. pizzamas.com/collections/...

Hello hi I would like to make an announcement:

Good morning! It's Pizzamas, and that means I can finally tell people about THIS: pizzamas.com/collections/... I wrote another Pizzamas Dungeons and Dragons adventure! It's got tons of Nerdfighter references (and a few just for the LRR fans, heh heh), jokes and a message board!

Meanwhile, I just yesterday had a thought about *next* year's Craftalong so now I'm wondering if I can make that work. (This is not even the first thought I've had about next year's Craftalong, but it *is* currently the most compelling...)

I've finally gotten all my Desert Bus craft work out of the way and I have time to play video games again. Does my brain feel like picking up some games that I stopped in the middle of for this? Not particularly. Does it want to start one of multiple new games I've been excited to play? Also no.

Canada Post is a vital institution. The government is correct that it is not sustainable in it's current form, but the answer is not endless cuts and winnowing. Reform it and fund it. The mail does not have to be profitable, it is a service, not a business. Solidarity with the strikers.

Screaming crying throwing up my Frieren teapot is out and it's so beautiful 😭😭😭 Unfortunately, the sugar bowl developed a crack on the bottom. I'll have to fix that with some kintsugi, but I'll add a coupon in the box for the winner for a free redo. Teacups & creamer soon! @desertbus.org

Some Good News, everybody! "Nonprofit environmental organization the Ocean Cleanup has announced that it's on track to eliminate the Great Pacific Garbage Patch by 2034"

Canadians, this is a parliamentary petition, not a random online thing. Takes a minute to sign. An easy good deed for the day.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

It's been a very long time since I've watched any Red Green. I should change that, see how much of it holds up.

The more things I've made, the less I've been interested in publicly criticizing the things that other people make, because once you make a few things you start to understand what a miracle it is that anything gets made at all

Trump deserves to go to jail just for forcing me to read one of his shitty executive orders. In other news I still have no fucking clue if the changes to de minimis exemptions will affect people sending in Desert Bus prizes. If anyone has a solid grasp in it, pls message me.

He was very good in person with his trans fans too. Growing up going to SF cons, I met many trans people before I even knew what trans meant. I gave my parents very little they needed to accept in their child, so they had lots left over for everyone else. 😉 www.thepinknews.com/2021/08/06/t...

Join me tomorrow for the 6th annual Punch-A-Chunk Mystery Fundraiser! We're gonna raise money for some good causes (but you will have to trust me on that :P) all while we dig a hole, hang out, chat, and listen to a bunch of 6th studio albums! Live at 7:00AM Pacific at twitch.tv/james_lrr

A horse struggles to exist #art #animation #indieanimationday #horse

i can't believe simping over volt from date everything is going to singlehandedly bring back my home streams stay tuned for scheduling updates I guess it'll be on www.twitch.tv/s1ck1y/

Late in the day, but new prints in my Cottage Series are now available in my online shop. Celebrating summer and cozy cottage gardens nimasprout.shop

Listen, I like dunking on TERFs as much as the next woman, but you really do not need to repost their transphobia into your feed. It does not matter how witty your comeback is, you’re still doing harm. (Yes, screenshots count).

Hey you! Wanna give me money that I promise will go to good causes, but you won't know what those causes are until the end of the event? Well do I have good news for you! It's the 6th Annual Punch-A-Chunk Mystery Fundraiser starting August 20th at 7AM! See you there! www.twitch.tv/james_lrr

The tail end of the @loadingreadyrun.com subathon seems like a fine time to share this starter pack of LRR mods again: go.bsky.app/HGWNYvz

I uh may be on a mimic kick. I had some spare leather leftover from last year's Desert Bus project and it seemed disrespectful to not just use it....

YouTube's live chat moderating tools sure do continue to leave a *lot* to be desired compared to Twitch. So limited and clumsy.

I already shared the link, but here's the fundraiser from Phil himself. This is legit.

It's stream time! Let's finish off chunk #1! I sure hope no one donates to my ko-fi during the stream. That would be really distracting! twitch.tv/escherichiacole

The better you are at a thing, the more "AI" will be a drag on your time, because it's operating at a lower level of skill than you are, and you have to fix what it does, rather than just do what you already know how to do.

Folks, can we please get this funded! This is a VERY reasonable goal for a whole anthology of fantasy comics by Black women, and LOOK HOW COOL IT IS.

Minami Lane is a cute little management sim I really liked: store.steampowered.com/app/2678990/... Only had time for the demo but Best Served Cold is a murder mystery visual novel in the style of Coffee Talk and VA-11 Hall-A and I'm excited to dig into it: store.steampowered.com/app/3218530/...

It's stream time! After our diversion to FF9 we are so back! We have a brand new Minecraft world, new patch, and most importantly, NEW CHUNKS! twitch.tv/escherichiacole
