This is HUGE! Please share so people with ME/CFS can learn about this incredible medical breakthrough!! It not only helps develop a diagnostic test, but also points to immune and inflammatory changes to aid future treatments. After 80+ years of no treatment, there’s some hope, finally!!

For my birthday have you considered playing either my supervillain ttrpg or the demo for my decopunk fantasy mystery game? zoemaxine.itch.io

Right now you can find me on bsky, on tumblr under the name "zmtn" or on tiktok under zoemaxinetn & if any of those platforms falls for good my website will always be still around at zoemaxine.com

It's the season of ghosts and vampires and spooks and you know what has ghosts and vampires and spooks in it? My visual novel!

So I really enjoyed the #KnightsOfGuinevere pilot

I dove into some old boxes and found a couple of sketchbooks from grade 9, just after starting high school

There's a post going round re teachers and politics, and thinking back on my high school English teachers, some of their choices of text were very influential on me. My grade 12 English teacher for the 1st half of the year assigned Langton Hughes & MLK. The required Shakespeare play was Othello.

I'm getting a lot more done on the comic I've been allowing to be "not the greatest or most original comic in the world" than my previous attempts at "good" comics, so there's that

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #nsfw #censorship #canpoli @acvalens.net

For anyone in animation also fed up with LinkedIn, @cartoonrecruit.com is doing gods work, finding and posting real job openings with links directly to the company websites.

HAPPY LABOR DAY REMEMBER THAT YOUR RIGHTS AS A WORKER WERE HARD WON AND ARE NOT GUARANTEED. SOLIDARITY IS EVERYTHING - TALK ABOUT YOUR WAGES WITH YOUR COWORKERS, UNIONIZE WHERE YOU CAN, AND REMEMBER NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT YOU AND THEY WANT TO MAKE YOU FORGET THAT. DON'T LET THEM.

Between queer creators working for media properties with execs who won't let them put in queer content and oblivious writers who just don't know the effect they're having, the actual amount of legitimate examples of "queerbaiting" are prob fewer than people say That said, I feel Smallville def was.

We're excited to announce the Games for Palestine charity page is now LIVE on Itch. Over 300+ games with proceeds going to UNRWA USA in support of Gaza relief. Thank you to everyone for your support. The bundle launches on Sept 2nd 9am PST. Link: itch.io/b/2979/play-...

Hey. Meet some characters from my game, starting with the mayor.

The only problem with the text boxes in this fanart I made is it hides the fact that the restaurant in the background is "Flint's Sandwiches".

A lil preview of something I've been working on:

I have discovered I get more stuff done if I allow myself to rotate between projects rather than try to finish 1 project to completion when my brain has decided it needs a break bc then all I do is procrastinate working on it & beat myself up

My works on itch dot io are not NSFW or Adult 18+ content but I believe that adults should be able to make art and games and other adults should be able to buy those art and games with their own money without payment processors pressuring websites on what they can or cannot allow.

Good morning. Did you call your local censorious payment processor and let them know you’re upset with their bullying of Steam and itchio? No time better than the present yellat.money

I'm beginning to get faster at these Spine animations that I'm legit considering doing commissions with them. Maybe people who play with #foundry or #roll20 would want some animated gifs of their characters. Example;

I will convince you to buy keylocker by showing you there’s a whole plot line about frogs with mushroom caps where one of the frogs refuses to physically alter himself to become more beautiful with a mushroom cap because he loves his form just the way he is

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Puts 490,000 High-Res Images Online & Makes Them Free to Use

There have been so many great runs I've watched this SGDQ - Roller Coaster Tycoon and Backyard Baseball stick out in my mind, & I'm so excited for the rest of the week !! #SGDQ2025

knowing the reasons WHY things are done can help make you remember things, but also let you experiment in a more thoughtful way which is another way of saying "know the rules to break the rules" but i think that phrase goes right through me & maybe you too so the metaphor i like to use is butter

Saw a skeet the other day about those strawberry and cream sandwiches that was like "sandwiches must be savory" and it's like. Have you never heard of jam before.

I missed it but deffo look at the hashtag for what people have made 👀

Make a terrible comic day is such a fraud. Every single one of these is a banger

zoemaxine.itch.io/razzopolis/d... an update with downloadable versions and some fixes(?)

just a heads up, if you're looking to work with an artist for any type of project, this thread has a TON of great options--all kinds of styles and talents. highly recommend browsing (or if you just love art!) we will def. be reaching out to a few for upcoming projects 💀

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

tooting my own horn but: I really like how the shadows in this one tuned out

Hey, stay safe out there. And if you can't be safe, be prepared & help out those around you

Positive feedback about things you like to see counteracts the hate that gets spewed. The hateful side is constantly putting in feedback. If you don’t, theirs will be the only voices heard- and feedback matters. A lot.

Hey folks, seeing as it's Pride month, I want to do a little something to boost indie games from LGBTQIA+ developers, so if that's you, please reply with a little bit about your game and a link to your store page. Let's see if we can't get some more eyeballs on your games! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Prev post: my pride jolly Roger in my pfp, a monstrous skull (representing how we are viewed and/or our anger ), with a blooming flower with the "progress pride" flag colours, showing how we bloom regardless

Let's do a different type of art share... With so much going on with LGBTQ+ & corporate America, why don't we keep the queer dollar in the queer community? 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ In this thread, share your Pride merch, or your friend's Pride merch. Let's buy from each other rather than the corporations this year.

Happy #portfolioday !!🌻 I'm Hazel, I make embroidery and experiment with gouache Right now I have a raffle going so you could win a custom embroidered patch!✨

Last weekend I was vending at a con, and talked to some artists or noticed some artists who have blueskys (blueskies?) so I'm gonna repost some of their work 👀

Apparently when I originally posted about my new #VisualNovel, #Razzopolis, I forgot to include hashtags, so for the record: if you're into #IndieGames and #IndieVisualNovels and is #FantasyDecopunk even a tag? if it wasn't, now it is. Try my #GameDemo: zoemaxine.itch.io/razzopolis

Here's a Pride meme. Happy Pride to everyone, even those who can not celebrate openly and safely. You are loved and seen. #Pride

Imagine you wake up in a magic city full of weird people who are either halfway to becoming monsters or are already monstrous, and they're all from a half-remembered version of the 1920s. You're tasked with sorting out problems. And all their problems are either petty grievences or Gay. Or both.

Sometimes you want to pretend to be someone you're not. Like an evil genius escaping a prison on a moon with their friends.
