I wrote a comic called THREE about the Spartan worker-class, the Helots, and talked to a bunch of PhDs in the field. My take-away was how unwilling anyone was to state something was true firmly. After that, I'm even more more wary of Hot Take History online. That you're sure makes me unsure.

My latest piece of art for @theholmwoodfnd.bsky.social, featuring a little scene from Ep. 03, in which Tom introduces Dracula to his new private quarters.

not to make this all about my own interests, but we NEED more people to discover audio dramas not only do they rule, but they're probably one of the few entertainment mediums left that aren't mostly controlled by massive companies vulnerable to corruption/pressure the most successful ADs are indie

Tbh calling these things Artificial Intelligence does so much of the legwork for maintaining the illusion that they can think, when they don't begin to meet the definition of real AI. I think companies just shouldn't be allowed to call it that. How about SIMs: sophisticated imitation machines

60 minutes until funding ends. £250 away from adding a caving supplement to the book. Terrifyingly, precipitously, close to the line. www.kickstarter.com/projects/lau...

Full Send is about the beauty of nature, and how we pay dearly to master it. It’s about the way that capitalism degrades the things we love. It’s about the relationship between friendship and competition, and the price of sharing your passion. It has 29 hours left to fund. Help me make it real.

Hey folks - please share this far and wide. A dear friend is organising a digital charity zine with "messages of welcome and resistance". She's inviting responses of all mediums: written, visual art, audio, etc, messages of kindness and welcome to folks seeking safe harbour on our shores (1/3)

People with dwarfism are real human beings who experience sexual assault, violent hate crimes, abuse and discrimination as a direct result of the popular fantasy that "dwarves aren't human". This is often expressed through bad jokes about sexual dimorphism and ethnic alcoholism. Stop it. (1/2)

Fathomfolk and Tideborn are excellent, by the way. Everyone should read them, especially given current events. Sea creatures and humans trying to live together in Tiankawi; facing rising tensions, revolution, fear of marginalised folk in a fantastical ESEA-inspired backdrop. Also, dragons.
