shin mexico goes hard, but also i love guannesota. i support doing both

that really puts minnesota in a pickle because all of the letters in its name are already used by other "m" states

even if you go with the minneso-duh regional pronunciation, MD is already taken too

the very likely situation of us not having an updated covid booster this year for more recent strains is fucking bullshit.

once again: i hate it here.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 🎊

Veronica in a wedding dress woefully holding her child aloft — a horrific infant-sized maggot. Cast across her throat is the long shadow of her lover’s insect-like arm. Fanart for “The Fly” done for “Murdered Futures” zine.

welp, that's certainly a big step towards making it impossible for us to exist in public 🫠

honored to be a part of the bundle this year with my supplement for #questrpg, MONSTER MANIFEST, a collection of 300+ creatures from the SRD5 adapted for use in quest!

this bundle offers crucial financial support to all the queer artists in it, especially right now, so please give it your support!

Feel this in my bones too. We're outside of U.S. Pride, under the shadow of an itchio news (and fear!) cycle, and the games media is shrinking more every day. If you want to cover the bundle, please get in touch, I'm happy to chat. If you stream games from the bundle, @ us so we can boost you!

I want to uplift the folks I have had the honor of working with/hired on projects I AD’d for that I can’t recommend enough to yall 🫶🏼 if their work fits your needs, PLEASE hire them!!

I couldn’t find everyone so I’ll keep adding as I find folks o7

i had and continue to have way to much stuff going on to make it to gencon this year — but i really hope i can go to a con sometime next year and get to meet a bunch of folks in person (safely masked) for the first time!

New WIP! I love the idea of dedicating artworks to my fav trees, since I've studied their different morphology and habitats at uni for some years.

Thoughts?

One of the ways itchio is special is that each purchase, no matter how small, is divided among all the participants. Itchio leadership can divide your $10 out into hundredths of a percent so that each person receives a few cents directly from you. I think that's really cool.

Hope this goes without saying, but the "pay what you can" bundle is there for YOU, whoever you are, and there's no shame at all in seeking it out. People who can comfortably afford more should do that, but those who cannot, should not, without a second thought.

If you do reviews or interviews and wanna get a review copy or chat about Zephyr, hit me up.

It seems like regardless of how boundary pushing the game is, of being ENnie nominated, or all the outreach I do, outlets keep ghosting or denying me. Would appreciate the help in making the game known.
