My kid drew this portrait of Jax, and doesn't have their own social media (their choice) but wanted me to share it on mine so more fans could see it. I'll pass on any nice comments! #tadc #jax

I wish it were in the budget (I know exactly what I'd get) but someone else should jump in and keep them payed and happy and fed until I can get there.

Now at nearly 75% of this goal! We're just $1300 away with ONLY 5 DAYS LEFT!! 😱 At 768 BACKERS AND COUNTING, who would like to be the lucky 7️⃣7️⃣7️⃣? 👀 www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro...

I had to draw some no berries One in just nonbinary colors, and one with support from the "she berries" and "he berries"

I'm going to be randomly smiling to myself for the rest of the day and every time I do it will be because I'm remembering this post

Gonna #tadc post for a minute. The finale has been out free for a bit now but I'll still tag with #tadcSpoliers in case you want to mute. Because I want to talk about something in the writing that I thought was particularly good, and that also addresses some of the fan crashouts.

The Queen's Gondola is OUT NOW! Come play this free game where a small team of 4 have tried to create the cozy horror equivalent of anomaly-meets-hide-and-seek game. We made this in less than 3 months as part of a lay off procedure! Uhh, hire us? Check it: store.steampowered.com/app/4789900/...

ICYDK, I do not actually skeet for a living That is not a thing (yet) I founded and run the biggest comics pub in the Midwest, and it specializes in The Strange and Amazing plz follow it here It's Juneteenth, you have to 🥰 @ironcircuscomics.bsky.social

It's strange how grief anniversaries creep up on you. You're fine, but the then temperature, humidity, sunlight direction and quality, smells, so many little details all line up again and you're right back in that place, sometimes before you even realize why or what you're feeling. I miss my cat.

HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD ABOUT THIS HOW HAVE YOU NOT HEARD ABOUT THIS????? Cool indie animation with a trans fem protagonist??? And weird critters???? Sign me up!!

Is the day after, but I still have a few codes to gift. Snag something free and help me clear out my duplicates 😁

I don't have a free code for this one, but I do have a tip Carrion is just $2 right now It's one of my favorite games. Be the monster. Blorp around. Eat the humans. Grow. Break free Very fun movement, puzzles and action, well designed. I wish there were more store.steampowered.com/app/953490/C...

Heya Bluekies, it's my birthday and I'm going to do things a little bit hobbit style by giving some gifts. Or, at least, giving away game codes that have been sitting unused from Humble Bundles that partially overlapped with games I already had. Here's how this is going to work:

Giving away game codes! Please share even if you don't want any, I'd love to get them all into other people's hands today.

Same for me. I am frequently frustrated by people in my life insisting that we need to move on or forgive and forget. These people didn't break a window, they murdered more people than most can comprehend. Forgiveness requires trying to make things right, they don't even want criticism.

And a reminder: this bears the name of Romancelandia, because that’s where it started, but they want any and everything a bookish person might enjoy, from handcrafts to critiques to coloring pages (exciting!) to books of any kind. Near and dear to my heart.

Reminder: as ICE just got $70 billion more (fuck ICE), we are still sending out whistles to anyone who wants them. linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Anyone else having trouble posting images all of the sudden? I tried to post a joke meme twice, two different file formats edited in two different art programs, and both uploaded as weird green patterns.

My day job is at a rural branch of a public library, and we have a Pride display. Yesterday I was at the desk when a man came in. Fifties, maybe, or sixties. Plaid shirt, mesh trucker cap, suspenders. He went up to the display and just stood there for a long moment. Then he came up to the desk. 🧵 1/

Right away he shook his head and took a step back and sputtered, "No. Thank you. No. No." Then he glanced at the display again and went on in this quiet, wistful voice, "But. I just ... I'm glad you're doing this. For the young ones." 5/

Been following this eagerly since it was a yearly halloween treat, definitely give it a look if slow-build spooky fairy tales are your jam

Sounds like there's baby birds right outside my bedroom window. Adorable and oh no lol

The One Ring and the three Elven Rings are still out there to be claimed, if anyone else wants to join in on the fun. I'm pretty happy being Dwarf Lord of the Glittering Caves with a dang Silmaril, I'm not pressing my luck further lol

Also not a spoiler, but at one point a character mentions a relatively mild but highly specific backstory tidbit that had my spouse and kids turning to look at me like it was on cue. I really want to know what writer made that specific choice.

No spoilers TADC: Last Act reaction I have never heard a theater erupt into chatter so immediately after a film ending. So many audible reactions during, too

The latter line here is now entering my personal permanent lexicon

I keep seeing posts by folk confused why their prints aren't screen accurate, and the common theme is that they seem to have ZERO idea that their computer screen is RGB (colors mixed using light) and that all printers are CMYK (colors mixed using ink). So, have some VERY generalized printing tips:

No sound in my actual hearing range tonight but my ears feel tense anyway.

Hehe. My dyslexic kid is really into codes and ciphers thanks to Gravity Falls and I just introduced them to the (very nerdy) phonetic alphabet I made during my one linguistics class as a code. They're now eagerly practicing sounding words out and comparing normal English spellings to phonetic ones

Got caught up on the latest Critical Role 4 VOD, and there was a line from Brennan that hit like a brick. About how there's extra pain in small kind gestures from someone who's worldview would see everything you hold dear obliterated. Yeah. yeah.

An absolutely ridiculous AR LARP dungeon crawl facility that uses 3-6 rotating/repositioning rooms with walls made of tiled bumpers that can be pushed out or recessed for different tactile architectural flairs, special VR glasses tuned to the space, and sandbag puppets to project monsters over.

We're very close to an important milestone for this month's Tapas' Creators Bonus Program, so if you have been considering starting or doing a re-read, now is the PERFECT time to do so! tapas.io/series/SideQ... In this program, we get paid by *views*, so it costs you ZERO money to support us!

Erin Brockovich has launched a website tracking all existing, under construction, and proposed AI data centers and residential complaints in the United States.

This is making me increasingly angry the more I think about it. There IS ALREADY scientific language that describes the BIMODAL (not binary) distributions of characteristics we understand to be associated with a person's sex. There are no hard-edged boxes around any of it.

Posting mostly to reaffirm for myself this is a real thing: it just let up and the way I instantly literally felt my ears relax and my head clear.

Pain plus allergies plus droning has me feeling pretty paralyzed today. How tf am I supposed to live.

Apropos of nothing, G+ biffed it hard in many ways but I still kind of miss the concept of Circles. I still think something could be done with that. Something that interacts with soft edges around functionality like feeds and starter packs and who can reply.

Guys who think that lively debates over other people's personhood are good sport are, and always have been, a dime a dozen. You do not have to treat them as serious thinkers for it. Just one more kind of guy who wants to be kind of shitty but still demands to be liked by those he's shitty about.

Very loud deep sound droning again today that hit peaks that made me immediately nauseous. Two of us in this household can hear it, two can't.

The Capitol Crawl, the protest that marked the difference between public support for the ADA and apathy, was about visible discomfort. The discomfort of disabled people having to haul themselves out of wheelchairs and up burning hot steps for access, yes, but more specifically, viewers’.

Oh. Oh yay. Datacenter rumble and lawnmowers today. Now I can't think OR breathe. Simply existing shouldn't be this hard. 😣

I've got some thoughts on the thing where external threats mean tech needs constant arms-race security updates and how from the user end it ends up feeling like an endless protection racket with a terrifyingly cheerful upselling team. But they're not super well-formed yet and are mostly frustration

A few days ago I dropped my phone and it landed on its corner pretty hard. Screen was fine! But the next time I took it out of its case I noticed the back glass was bashed a bit. No big deal. BUT. (Angry tech privacy crashout incoming)

If you were a video game character, what would your health pickup be?

I'm hoping to fill a few slots of this new commission type to work on this month and June :) 👉 All the info here: vgen.co/edubenart (Reposts are very helpful and appreciated 🙏)

Reminder to all friends on Windows to check if they need to uninstall Copilot YET AGAIN.

Hey so if you're in the USA, the FCC is floating the idea of making shows put a warning up if they include or discuss trans people and trans lives. A short paragraph saying this is messed up would help a lot! You gpt less than a week. Submit your comment by May 22: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

These jangly joints are so weird sometimes. I slipped on the stairs three days ago in a minor skiid a little bit but caught myself fast kind of way. No big thuds. Felt mostly okay. Third day later and I feel like I fell down a whole flight. 😑
