Independent comics as an industry would barely exist these days without the tireless efforts of Kickstarter's staff behind the scenes. As they advise, keep supporting all the amazing projects you already are, but have their back in the process.

Stoked to see this new game from my friend @toitle.bsky.social and excited to have backed it on @BackerKit. If you pledge early, you get a bonus folding chair d2. Oh Yeah! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/9...

I wish I'd had this when I was teaching first-year writing and I think I need to share it with all the ESL teachers I used to work with

Moonflow is compulsively readable and provides the visceral thrill of grabbing a horror novel from the paperback spinners at the library. I'd sit down to read it and find an hour had passed without me even noticing. The best kind of fun

Ran my first ever #dnd5e game. Starting simple: #CurseofStrahd. Followed @slyflourish.com's advice and had an action scene for a strong start: fight a werewolf. Fight took the better part of 2 hours and the most damaging attack was by one PC nat 1'ing and hitting another PC instead. Promising start!

These are awesome and folks should jump on them for Halloween. I got one last year and it's fantastic

Wrote a piece about my experience at #Anthrocon this summer for @sailorspaceraptor.bsky.social's Scared City Project. Feels good to be writing again. Maybe I'll finally get around to doing that long essay on Yoon declaring martial law scarredcityproject.substack.com/p/anthrocon-...

October has arrived! 🎃

Made the mistake of looking up adoptable dogs. My apartment doesn't allow pets, I'm unemployed, and I may not remain in the country long-term. But goddamn, there are some senior pups that need a couch to snore on!

Four years after his death from illness, the remains of former President Chun Doo-hwan, who led a coup in 1979, repressed pro-democracy movements, and reopened the era of military dictatorship over the next decade, have yet to find a resting place. www.koreaherald.com/article/1057...

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Doing my part on Bandcamp Friday by picking up @perennialtheband.bsky.social's "A" is for Abstract, @twiabp.bsky.social's Dreams of Being Dust, and Scratch21's "Ayleeyuns"

Nikki is no longer allowed to use the PA system.

When it happens, SNL should invite Chevy Chase on Weekend Update to say, "Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead."

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany. But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

Former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo has been booked on charges of giving false testimony regarding details of former President Yoon Suk Yeol's failed attempt to impose martial law, legal sources said Tuesday. www.koreaherald.com/article/1053...

If I can find the wiggle fox at Anthrocon while wearing one of my @hearthfox.bsky.social shirts, I'd call it a successful con

It’s so easy to be an artist. You just do it. That, of course, is why it’s so hard to be an artist. You just have to do it. People despise how artistic courage highlights their own cowardice. Thus, crave the art, despise the artist. my random thoughts on it, better said by all the ppl in history

Oh boy. So glad I'm in the US. Ha ha. Feels great. Real glad to be in a place safe from all that. *Wheeze* Not going to double check the number of masks in my KF-94 stockpile at all

Yoon did not show up and has not yet responded. But they did not wait a dang second to make it clear to him he's out. The entire nation watched the presidential flag taken off of the dude's house while he probably peeped through his window and cried.

1/ I've obtained the 101-page indictment against President Yoon Suk Yeol detailing the December 3, 2024 martial law incident. He's charged with leading an insurrection (내란우두머리). Here's a breakdown of the allegations:

I'll be participating in a charity bake-off tomorrow at HQ Gwangan in Busan. All the money goes to a local women's shelter. Come round to show your support and get some nice snacks as well. I'm making peanut butter chocolate cookies!
