Remember, for every person doing frontline work(anything involving active confrontation be it frog protests or anything spicier and more kinetic in nature), there is a critical need for something like seventeen people doing rear echelon work of every skill type.

with your help we can change this

Cuz sharing is caring and resource secrecy is for dweebs: For the past week, I've been starting my mornings by doing a lesson from this ridiculously comprehensive Godot Action RPG tutorial. It's amazing. Dude basically teaches you how to make Legend of Zelda: LTTP. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Genuinely delighted to say I'll be guest of honor, along with the fantastic Adrian Tchaikovsky (@aptshadow.bsky.social), at Octocon (@octocon.bsky.social), the National Irish Science Fiction Convention, in Cork, Ireland over October 3-4, 2026! I hope to see some (many!) of you there!

Gentle reminder: I am seeing more "I cannot afford pet food" posts & if you might face this in the near future/now, I recommend checking your local area's subreddit and posting if anyone knows of local programs for pet food. Many areas have small under-the-radar charities that give out pet food.

No no. No, we won't be doing that. We won't be brushing the last two years under the carpet just because there is a current ceasefire. This is appalling, Israel should not be allowed to participate until Palestine is free and Netanyahu is behind bars for war crimes, where he belongs.

Also good example about skepticism about a writer's motives - AFAIK, we don't actually have enough evidence to conclude the complaints had merit. www.reddit.com/r/AskHistori...

yeah man, trans reporters, whom the ny times derogatorily calls "trans activists" so that normies won't listen to them, have been reporting on ADF activity in the UK since 2018. bigotry in journalism makes you late to the story.

To this list of dramatic drinking terms should be added COMPOTRIX, a female drinking companion (Ter. Andr. 232). A key member of any good party (or conspiracy!). #AncientBlueSky #ClassicsBlueSky

God it's so gross hearing reporters talk about Israeli "hostages" but then refer to Palestinian "prisoners held without charge" like what's the material difference between these two categories?

Californians, you can register to vote up to October 20th to vote in this election. They restored voting rights to those convicted of a felony (if they aren't still in serving time), so you can check at registertovote.ca.gov and register again if you want.

Terribly sad news about one of the greats. Diane Keaton has died at 79. people.com/diane-keaton...

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

At @octocon.bsky.social for a great day of conventioning! Have a blast.!

Doomed we’re all doomed!

Not mad busy so I’m going to do some detailed pencil sketches. First one! JOhn Constantine!

While providing tech support for my FIL: FIL: What's that screen? ME: The terminal. You should never use it. FIL: Never? ME: So you know how I'm allowed to watch you open the electrical panel and swap out breakers, but I'm not allowed to ever open up it myself? FIL: Ah! I understand, thank you.

I hope to god the reporter and their editor are prepared to go to jail to protect their source here, because the regime will absolutely want to make an example of this man. Like all fascists, they know neighbors helping each other wins every time.

KOSA just got a bunch of new cosponsors so, y'all, kindly tell them to knock it the fuck off. Make this bill unpassable for the sake of keeping the open internet, enough of this censorship BS and "protect the children" excuses. #savespeech #KOSA #stopkosa www.govtrack.us/congress/bil...

So there's this Vietnamese logger named Ho Khanh. One day he's out searching for agarwood (aka eaglewood aka Wood of the Gods), a fragrant, resinous wood used in incense & perfume. Ho Khanh is out in the jungle and finds what seems to be an entrance into an undiscovered cave.

⚠️ GAZA CEASEFIRE IN EFFECT The Israeli cabinet approved the deal, and Hamas has received assurances that the bombardment of Gaza by Israel will not be resumed.

It's a rainy day and I'm sick in bed, so let's see what's in Iris Apfel's estate sale (3-day auction in New Jersey, Oct 15, 16, 17) www.liveauctioneers.com/item/2160846...

I was completely unprepared for the threat posed by the Antifa super soldiers.

My theory is that there's a huge market for rebranding conservatism as centrism (or heyerodoxy or whatever), because there are a lot of people who politically or culturally conservative, but who are put off by a lot of the aesthetics of the modern conservative movement.

Once the base layer dried, I started stippling increasingly bright shades of green with big, soft makeup brushes. I keep twisting and turning the brush to get random shapes. I'm focusing the light towards the middle of each panel. I'll start refining after a couple more layers.
