I don’t know about the adventure part, but the rest is accurate.

Tablebeast hype post. I got the latest issue of his "onesheet" fold-out zine in the mail yesterday and it blew me away, like usual. If you like beautiful horror artwork done by hand, check this stuff out.

The decision to use the Mega Man 3 title theme as the background music for Capcom Picross means I spend a lot more time than I need to solve puzzles in Capcom Picross.

Books from Sloth & Envy Press are on sale for $0.99. Buy them; you can afford it, moneybags. a.co/d/4hx5JYk a.co/d/3C1SbEV #indiepress #somesmutsomenot #shortstories #writing

MrMatthews is a good boy with a fine GameBoy-focused YouTube channel. This video's about AI slop becoming more prominent, and a good watch in general. I'm not mentioning it because some of my stuff is in it, but some of my stuff is in it.

holidays are coming 🎶

Every story in this collection is unique and interesting, with a premise you won't find anywhere else. Some are sad, most are funny, and they're all worth a read. And a lot of them are illustrated! By me! All for only $9, which is less than the price of a fast-food lunch these days. Check it out!

Edge City 2 featuring a story by this guy right here is available for purchase! www.nocobo.co/store #writing #specfic #definitelynottheworsthingyouwillread

Support our next project, out in 2026! Read on KU, or purchase a book. Every purchase puts us closer to completing a deluxe graphic novel of This Final Surrender, the story of a man on the brink of madness with a demon trapped inside him. Art by @jartravian.bsky.social a.co/d/0mjtGCQ #indiepress

If you're going to be in Memphis on 11/1, feel free to come see @jartravian.bsky.social and I at the #midsouthcomicandfantasyconvention! We're doing a panel titled 'Get Started and Worry About the Rest Later' about getting started on your creative projects. #writing #art #paneldiscussion

I always say that ink is cheap and I like to give people their money's worth. This project will use all the ink there is.

Come on out to the #bookfair Sat Jul 12 from 12-7! We’d love to see you. #minnesota #statefair #booksky We are ready!! (Excuse our weird tablecloth. Table longer than expected, had to improvise).

I have a book of short stories on sale for $0.99. Take a chance for once in your life. a.co/d/a78mZp3

I'm going to have a sale on a collection of stories starting tomorrow. You can get the whole eBook copy for $0.99. a.co/d/8U6KesF

15 hours to go. The project is funded, so thanks everyone who backed it. Very much looking forward to the release! #writing #GalacticPestControl www.kickstarter.com/projects/gal...

Just a gentle reminder that the stories in this issues kick so much ass. And...supporting the zine is supporting writers you since we're paying for stories and art out of our own pockets. Every dollar helps! #indiepublishing #zine #payforart ko-fi.com/s/5096151d18

A couple comic pages I did to practice for an upcoming project. Don't worry, I won't be writing that one.

This is my personal favorite story from the collection, but they're all great. Not only is A Machine for Hugs a fine piece of literature, but it is a handy, indispensable tool during these hot summer months. Fan yourself with it, smack a mosquito with it, and it fits right into your back pocket.

Shooty time. Poor footage of a good game played poorly.

I've got a new story titled Body and Blood coming out June 15 at Carnage House! Great people over there keeping the Splatterpunk flame burning. Check it out if you have a minute! #writing #horror #PeopleEatingPeople CarnageHouse.com

I picked up this blue Game Boy Pocket in trade, and thought it was bizarre that it had a green screen instead of the usual grey one. Apparently one way to repair a burned-in polarizer is to swap it with one from a DMG, making the screen green. Very neat.

Check out the Kickstarter for this anthology I've been accepted in. There are going to be some bangers in this collection, plus it's being put together by the longest running science fiction publication in the universe! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gal...

One of the signs of the Final Days is me actually bagging some comics. The end is nigh, sorry.

We’re doing a 48-hour fundraiser for Trans Lifeline (translifline.org) in our Ko-fi shop. Please SHARE! ko-fi.com/slothenvypre... Post 1/3 For every digital copy of Toad Shade Zine purchased, $1 will go to Trans Lifeline. TSZ is $2.00 & packed with stories & art. Available worldwide.

If you want to be cool and sophisticated, pick up a copy (or eight!) of the latest issue of Toad Shade Zine. There is literally no better way on the planet to spend five dollars.

All the stories have been selected for Issue 3! The layout process always makes me question my intelligence and organizational skills, but the newest issue will be complete this week, barring any last minute issues. #indiepress #zine #payforart #FuckAI

Just a quick note that we'll have judging wrapped on Issue 3 this week, but if you want to see issues 1 & 2, feel free to head over to ToadShadeZine.com and order some. They ship in the mail, so by the time you get it, you'll have forgotten you ordered it. It'll be a surprise you give yourself!

If anyone cares about this stuff, here are pics of the original drawing. Look close to see my awful blue pencil scribbles. This was done on Deleter manga paper with a fountain pen, brush pen, and Sharpie, with some white gel pen here and there.

B&N finally started shipping these fine works of literature. Very fancy indeed! @slothandenvy.com @toadshadezine.bsky.social
