the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

It's Don't Argue Inside Your Head With Other People Friday. Today, if you find yourself arguing inside your head w/someone who's not present, or whom it's not safe or not fair for you to argue with, gently move your mind away. Do this as many times as you need.

i want to stress: i firmly believe that we, just us normal people, can push back against this global wave of censorship. we CAN do this. there may be temporary setbacks, lost battles, but i do firmly believe that with sustained action, we can make our futures better for art and human expression.

"The Silence Mill", a golem for a Castlevania-type thing I've been working at, on and off. Drawn today because, I don't know. 2025, I guess.

why does every tech innovation since like 2012 feel like it was designed to molest someone?

opening up ONE (1 ☝️) character commission slot, just to ease back into paid work. 99% certain there'll be other slots after this. hmu!!!

I mostly agree with this, but more so: Any time spent on saying "they have incoherent politics" is probably better spent saying "what ideology, which policies, what social strategys have produced this violent nihilism, and what analogs do they have historically?"

It's a cyborg. So it should probably have humanoid feet... but I've spent so much time drawing my weird robot feet that I'm affraid I may have forgotten how to actually draw normal, humanoid feet :'D

Honestly, the best way to make an artist’s day is by being very specific about what you like about a piece. Geek out a lil. Gush over how they use line, color, texture. Every mark is layed down by the artist, so if you can connect with those little moments, it helps the artist feel seen.

electrostim. or something.

The federal government has censored the work of dozens of scientists, including work by my lab, on the impacts of climate change on Acadia National Park. Signs have been removed from Cadillac and Great Meadow. They’re also removing signs about the Wabanaki’s sacred connections to Cadillac.

After 3 years of development Granvir is finally released! HUGE shout out to everyone who's played the demo, playtest and prologue along the way. The game would be far less fun and much more buggy without your help. Here's to many more years of making Granvir even more powerful!

While the early microcomputer era allowed you to get dozens of pieces of software for a very low price right from your newsstand or library rack, there was also inevitably errata to follow - unless you did painstaking bug hunting yourself.
