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.

I'm planning on adding some more offerings options soon too, now that I'm starting to get comfy with the system. #riderarts

Drag Path save me… save me Drag Path. #twentyonepilots #cliqueart #breach

Some hand sheets I made for the animation team! I looked at how Dana drew hands a lot and coupled it with my own anatomical knowledge of hands. #KnightsOfGuinevere

Seized with the sudden urge to make a gijinka of the Nightmare-Orphanage...... as one does....... #lightfingers #fallenlondon

This is how I learn that I can wishlist my own game on PS5 now. You should, too. 🥰 (and Steam, pls do both, kthxbye)

Battle doom scrolling by sharing 5 small pleasures: 1. When you do a big stretch and the knot goes away 2. Postcards 3. Bees bonking into flowers 4. Making a creature with ur hand/s to skitter on table or go wahwahwah with 5. Videogames with mechanically useless inputs that let you rp (like sitting)

OKAY LET'S SEE IF THIS WORKS!!! MARIO TIMES??!?! MAYBE??? unless something else surprise explodes on us. Do not ask me what we were doing last time, I do not remember. twitch.tv/shazzandboo

apparently the best way to get over my struggles of keeping up with posting on social media is just to have someone ask me to post something so they can easily share it. and i think maybe this makes sense, because a lot of times i gave up on social media it was bc All Effort No Reaction burnt me out

i was asked to cross post my bernard doodles from my Fallen London tumblr to here for all the beetle lovers, and how could i refuse. i'd do anything for bernard. #fallenlondon #ESspoilers

I did the cover art for this! Give it a look and a follow! I want this to be a real book I can put on my shelf so bad, lmao! Plus, it looks real fun if shenanigans are what you look for in a ttrpg adventure!

Do it. Search your name. Take their money. It’s yours anyway.

Soliciting Game/Art Reccs that are: - pixel art - side scroll / full sized people (opposed to LoZ/jrpg chibi style) - retro 80s/90s feeling (Does not need to hit all three, but the more it hits the better.) (Also will take reccs of places to browse games/pixel art that isn't just throwing AI at me)

Every day I see this I am furious. Livid. Stop teasing me, stop giving me hope. I know the mini isn't free anymore FOR SOME REASON I DON'T GET WHY WHEN IT FELT LIKE A NICE TEASER TO GET YOU TO WANT TO DO THE BIG ONE... AAAUGH

You can get $15,000 in funding (plus mentorships) for your thinky game. No strings attached. You still have plenty of time before the deadline to start making a new prototype and apply with it.

PAX was nice but I remember now why I went the once and never tried again. It's hard to talk with people there, at least for me. The loudness, the lights, the constant energy drain, and the fact that everyone there is here to sell you on their game, not to... Talk about games in general?? Idk man...

I got...I think 6 goof banners at @officialpax.bsky.social #paxwest so uh. Find em

I should probably thank @workwithindies.com for the PAX badge giveaway!! I often just accept stuff like this is out of budget especially when I am looking for work (by the way I am still looking 👀) so it's very nice to be able to interact with my industry in a non only work/applying for jobs way.

LET US SEE IF THE INTERNET WANTS TO BE NICE TO US TODAY! twitch.tv/shazzandboo

pros of being an artist: -i can bring life to a concept that up to that point only existed in my head -ppl wanna see me draw their fellas in my art style (flattering) (fulfilling) cons of being an artist: -when im Not making art i feel like im being boiled in oil

i'm two followers away from being verified on vgen! I'd love to make the cut and get more visibility in the search and be able to pay it forward with invite codes :) a follow is completely free support!

every time i unsub from a patreon, i'm immediately bombarded with HERES A BUNCHA OTHER PEOPLE TO CONSIDER SUBBING TO!! which i understand why, but also it's so funny considering that the #1 reason I ever unsub is that I do not have the money to spend on it. no patreon, i actually just wanna resub.

Happy Juneteenth! It costs 0$ to Repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. I sell pins, knee braces, compression gloves, artist gloves, binders, wrist braces, compression socks, cute bags, compression leggings & more! Store details below!

I've started trying to learn Japanese again and am immediately already tired of the same kanji having 8485995 ways to read it thing again lmao

*BANGS POTS AND PANS* Y'all don't wanna fuck around with even a single foot of tsunami waters, the weight of the entire ocean is behind that and if you're in a tsunami zone you need to hustle the hell out of there. #tsunami

Happy 15th Birthday #transfusionscomic!! (and first... deathday? they're vampires lemme have this silly joke) I've been following this comic for OVER A DECADE!? (after a friend tossed it at me bc one of the main characters looked like one of my OCs) and I'm so happy to say CONGRATS ON FINISHING IT!!

MORE SUPER MARIO RPG!!! doing a slightly different set up today, so let us know if sound is funky. and reminder of no spoilers, no backseating!! boo is brand new to this game! twitch.tv/shazzandboo

Apparently I forgot to post my 4th #Artfight attack here? Whoops. This is Manny for @stopboorider.bsky.social with Yukira, my OC. Time to smooch

artists support each other when systems will not. there's little safety net. it is resilience. artists are not your competitors. artists are your peers, mentors, and the ones who will defend the ability to create sustainably. to those who struggle to continue drawing, you are an artist.

I understand itchio decision, I do think it's good in a backed into a corner moment to try and make sure you don't doom every creator in the system. But boy howdy does the unable to get payout thing make it feel so so so much worse. At least let the creators have the money they already own. ffffffff

IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!!! THE LONG AWAITED SUPER MARIO RPG STREAM IS HERE!!! Which will be occupying our Monday Morning slot! Shazz has played the og version of this game, Boo hasn't experienced it AT ALL; we're back in the NO SPOILERS NO BACKSEATING zone again with this one. twitch.tv/shazzandboo

random squeakross and boo stream!! nothing special, just wanted to play more squeakross and was like eh, what if i streamed it. No Mic, just chill videogame noises: twitch.tv/shazzandboo

Discord?? updated?? On mobile or something??? and now thinks I'm logging in every time I go to type a message and popping up auto fill stuff. Please. Please fix. Please. I'm dying

By the power of luck, I'm apparently going to PAX W now. Happened to win a four day pass?? I don't think I'll be going all the days because last time I went just 2 days was overwhelming lmao
