Meet Alex & Julian, my oldest OCs - their first book is free all weekend! Art by @snejkha.bsky.social & cover by past me.

look at these amazing socks from @acorviart.bsky.social !!

visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help. this is an all hands on deck situation. the enemy got results with 1000 phone calls. we can beat them phone numbers and a script:

Mr. Podgers is a skrunkly old man but I love him
