On the 250th Anniversary of the accepted official beginning of the US, let's doff our hats to our best Founder, Thomas Paine. 1/

The New Amsterdam Game is an independent, creator-owned comic about the shadow war waged in New York for the sake of liberty and self-rule. This Independence Day, back a truly independent story and help us cross the halfway mark. You can find the link in my profile. #indiecomics #America250

As a history teacher, July 4th always reminds me that the "more perfect union" is still unfinished work. But looking back reminds us how fragile it always was. In 1779 NYC, Patriots weren't celebrating. They were surviving a silent plot to collapse the rebellion with millions in counterfeit cash.

Was visiting my family recently and after a meal my cousin whipped out a bunch of these bad boys and had us shoot them. Needless to say I have thought about them every day since

The post below needs to go viral. Someone's providing the vetted concrete way you can support the family of Kohen Wiley who was killed by cops in a Walmart parking lot in Mississippi. If you care about that as news, you should care about helping the actual people impacted with what they need.

We crossed the $900 mark, but I would love to hit $1000/$3300 by the end of Sunday! That's $92, so it's totally doable - but only with your help! Please support The New Amsterdam Game today! #indiecomics #historicalfiction

Oh shit, they're on to me

"--and with the amphibious model installation fee, your total comes to..." I hand over the takings from my latest job. It'll be a few lean weeks until I can find more marks to fleece, but the ease of exit with salamander legs is worth the investment. I'll be up the river before anyone notices.

Since it's heating up outside again a lot of places, I'm going to reshare this little webpage I made a couple summers ago as a guide on keeping your dog cool and how to identify heatstroke! Please feel free to share elsewhere. dogsummer.carrd.co

Happy pride month all, fuck Palantir

It's Pride Month, so once again here's Sappho's Reply, one of the most powerful queer poems ever. Written by Rita Mae Brown at the height of the post-Stonewall struggles, it's the origin of "an army of lovers shall not fail/cannot lose." Y'all, we are going to win.

To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away. As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other. We honor her memory and oppose the war.

y'know if you'd told me when I started writing this urban fantasy AU smutfic of mine that I would end up using it to process leftover feelings from my stepmother's death I would have said "yeah that sounds on brand for me"

Love how dynamic the cape is in this! Also I'm endeared by the floppy little beak on Gooseberry's mask.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!!!

why can I barely wring out 300 words of a plot-relevant scene over the course of eight hours and yet can blaze through damn near 1000 words of smut in half the time--never mind I know why

If these shadows have offended Think but this and all is mended Closing tabs is no defeat Seeing "dead dove, do not eat" Of our kinks we shall be mum Lest your ire should yuck our yum And, as I am an honest Puck, If we have unearnèd luck 'Pon the relief of our schlong We will make amends ere long.

the fuck it will

Anyway imagine my disappointment when I learned this song was not about allowing a symbiotic alien species to transform you into a brand new transcendent organism but was instead about drugs. The nonbinary longing to shed the limits of one's form strikes again I guess youtu.be/18nI9EZSYf0?...

We could also go with "would-be shapeshifter waffling between elfin hedonist and gothic brawler poet" I suppose

If You Are Attracted to Me, that Makes You Gay

Paul is a cool dude with tons of in-depth knowledge about a time in American history that tends to get flattened for propaganda purposes. His upcoming Revolutionary War Era street-level cape comic promises to give this setting the nuance it deserves. Check it out!

Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

We've gone stale in this long winter, the house and I. When the crocuses pop outside, I decide xey deserve a refresh. Scrubbed baseboards, dusted vents, de-scaled shower heads, the works. The pipes burble in contentment, tiles gleaming with pride, as I fill the tub for my own reward when I'm done.

If you're a short musket of wide bore and flaring muzzle used to scatter shot at close range, you can get this blunderbussy

I've been quiet and it's because the utterly self-indulgent fanfic is now at 50k words, give or take

Things are really dark right now so it's important to find joy where you can. Chicago's Lunar New Year Parade was a really good choice today.

Very valuable list! Plenty of places to donate near you.

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google. My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence! go.bsky.app/8cn1XfT

If you're as mad as I am about the news of ICE murdering someone in Minneapolis, please consider buying these dash cams and/or sd cards. These are urgently needed to document what ICE is doing in the Twin Cities. Please buy if you can - they go directly to ICE observers.
