One of the first sketches I ever made for Bloody Hell 2.

This was also one of my first ever isometric sketches, and I quickly learned that overdrawing engine blockouts was way quicker than doing it all by hand :))

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Thatโ€™s what makes Star Trek inspiring. Thatโ€™s why it matters. And thatโ€™s exactly what Strange New Worlds seems to forgetโ€”or worse, what those who own it want us to forget. What happened to โ€œrisk is our businessโ€? Isnโ€™t that why we go out in a starship, why weโ€™re aboard her in the first place? Instead, Strange New Worlds has become hollow postmodern productโ€”nostalgia without contextโ€”designed to reinforce cultural norms. It sells a โ€œcentristโ€ vision that treats fascism as just another side in a debate, while framing marginalized voices who challenge the hierarchies fascists exploit as the real threat. At best, that message encourages passivity; at worst, it actively vilifies those already marginalized for daring to disrupt the status quo.
I want a Star Trek that resists the expectations of todayโ€”not by flattening villains or throwing punches, but by daring to represent a dream of a better tomorrow that we should reach for. Something new. Something braver. A Star Trek that challenges power in the present tense, that resonates with us not just as nostalgia but as a rallying cry. That speaks directly and overtly to the world we live in, the forces shaping it, and the struggles we face right now. Thatโ€™s what Star Trek once dared to be. Thatโ€™s what it should still dare to be.

A digital illustration of the character Mark from the TV show Severance. It portrays the last scene of season 2, where Mark leaves his wife Gemma behind to stay on the severed floor with Helly. Mark, in the foreground, is drawn in a red hue. The background, portraying the door to the outside and a crying Gemma in the window, is painted in a contrasting teal hue. Mark is covered in bright red blood. His expression looks puzzled.

still rattled by the sheer giddy glee with which some queers are coming for itch.io, one of the largest collections of queer games in existence. i know it's scary to accept, but we do actually have good things worth defending. we have things it would damage us to lose

a digital drawing of a young character with a turquoise bow on her head. She possesses canine-like features and wears a white outfit with yellow gloves. To the right of her is text that reads "Fuck it, let's make a website!"

To be clear about my viewpoint: GenAI is only inevitable if we let it be. The only way to fight against something that we are being told is inevitable is to not use it and disprove the theory. We don't need to find "ethical" ways to create GenAI. We need to blank it out and make it embarrassing.

This article is a perf exp of how folks are going to use any excuse then can to feel ok with watching Harry Potter because they care more about getting to watch their show then systemic harm against trans people that they can distance themselves from. And Nick Frost is actively helping that.
