NOO OMFG!!! Actual nightmare!!

Never been happier to keep two forms of backups than I am this AM, having just run a script in PS that accidentally flattened all of my TAZ7 color files lmao. It’s fine!! They’re restored now!! But damn!!

it's a good thing it's gonna be an extremely good book!! please look forward to it!!

at the stage of book where I have to do a lot of looking over all the pages for minor details & I keep wondering why it's taking so long... but even if 'check the whole page for [x]' takes only 1 minute/ page, if the book is ~400 page long that's like 6.5 hours of checking. who could have done this

meg & I are tabling at Flamecon!

iRead 2025 teen campaign poster illustration of teens playing a tabletop game at a library with the game they're envisioning illustrated at the top of the poster. text reads "subir de nivel en tu biblioteca * level up at your library"

I was SO thrilled to get to do the teen poster & spot art for iRead's 2025 summer reading campaign, Level Up At Your Library! my local library meant the world to me growing up & libraries are very dear to my heart- it was a huge honor to work with AD Becca Boland on this! www.ireadprogram.org

I am reaching out to you in deeply upset sympathy!!! hang in there

went sicko mode and made a giant post about making custom brushes from scanned images... maybe it will be useful to someone. (This is a free post.)

Here’s a short script:
“Hello, my name is _____, and I would like to file a complaint. I find it troubling that Mastercard is blocking content on (the platforms you use) and making it difficult for me to make legal purchases. I am going to stop using Mastercard if this isn’t rescinded and fixed."

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy. Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

This itch.io NSFW policy change is unfortunately nothing new, the problem isn't the platforms themselves but rather Visa/MC strong-arming these services into revising their NSFW policies.
So if you're eligible I invite you to sign this ACLU petition: action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

I’m really glad you’re home! I hope healing goes as smoothly and well as it possibly can!!

I love character-driven comedy and dynamic action & I'd love to do more TTRPG work-- if a project comes up that you think I'd be a good fit for, I'd love to hear about it! Thanks for your time & consideration! www.careydraws.com
