When one of us is attacked, we all roll initiative! Join us this Saturday, Nov. 15, for a charity D&D stream to raise funds for immigrant/refugee organizations in CHI, PDX, LA and DC, in support of our neighbors who are being harassed, assaulted and abducted in the name of immigration enforcement.

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

I had the honor of making this painting for Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.

HAHAHA guess who added stuff to their stock art shop and then forgot to tell anyone about it 🫠 In definitely unrelated news - there're some new files in my stock art shop www.alderdoodle.co.uk/shop

I need this printed on a deck of cards that I can hand out to people or leave on their desks and stuff

On August 12, 1971, 16-year-old me mailed the first story I ever wrote off on its first submission to my dream market, F&SF. My tale was quickly rejected. On July 17th, 2025, I finally sold a story to that magazine. Here's why I felt I had to withdraw that story. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

This one nuthatch has decided to challenge other birds for the ENTIRE feeder setup. I just saw him leave the peanut feeder he was eating at to try to chase away house finches who had landed at the safflower feeder. It's like a guy trying to defend five grain silos at once.

The lead for Cyberpunk RED has a very important (and fun) question for everyone over here on Reddit. www.reddit.com/r/cyberpunkr...

*checks tonight's forecast* oh thank god, I was worried for a moment that it wouldn't be cloudy from 6pm to 6am this time and that I might actually be able to see the aurora for once. 🙄

Great piece by Zadie Smith. When the right talks about classics or "Western" culture, these works are only important to the extent that it demonstrates their superiority, they have no interest in art in and of itself beyond that www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Behold! Pod, the sacred nester, most powerful being in the Hazelands (presumably) Somewhere in the land is an unthinkably high tower, most scholars can tell you that usually pigeons roost atop towers. Seeing as this tower is so high, the pigeon atop of it must be truly great.

I can do paintings like this one where you get a physical painting on card for £45 including postage. If you would like to send one for Christmas, now is the perfect time to let me know! Please send a message if you are interested, thank you very much!

Birds Canada recently received a contribution from the Canadian Space Agency through the smartEarth initiative – but what have birds got to do with space? NatureCounts uses satellite imaging to map routes and plot birds. The app is a game-changer for birds – this grant will help us expand our tools!

“Don’t gather some of the most brilliant activists in the industry, treat us like crap, and then expect us to do nothing about it.” After the Game Awards cancelled its Future Class programme, @alyssamerc.bsky.social talked to its former honorees www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...
