if you want to know how important it is for you to do this math: the fees patreon took from me in 2025 add up to roughly 3 months of income. that's 3 months of income i would have paid taxes on if i didn't deduct the fees from the 1099. 3 months of income i never actually had!

We’re are out hitting the ground to get signatures; I’m trying to answer all your great questions, but my responses won’t be as timely as I would like. In lieu of that, please visit my website for more info and enjoy this photo of me when I woke up this morning. Shirt by: @foreveryone.bsky.social

Three landscape pictures. Two of them are trees among a grey background with fog. One above them is a landscape of rolling hills overlooking a lake.

A painting of a butterfly with transparent wings against a bright blue background with a sunburst pattern. The gradient is really rad.

A circular painting that resembles a woman with black hair with her hand outstretched. Its got a cool rorschach vibe to it.

Local artist in the Hartford, CT area have got together to donate their work for sale in partnership with www.HipHopfortheHomeless.org IG: @hiphopforthehomeless to help raise funds for the charity. My man ig: @rapjoeybatts reached out to me to help spread the word. He's been putting in the work!

If you want to help, dig up an older post about AND HE SHALL EAT THE SUN and do a repost with a quote. The art (and artists): all very amazing. The writing is pretty good no matter what Tyson doesn't say.
FUCK! I"M WORKING.
OK - seriously - I'm going to write an XP table for a wilderness crawl.

In 3 hours my first Kickstarter will have 24 hours remaining. I think I'm supposed to shout about it and push and get those last few folks interested. But today is my games day.

Today games are JUST FUN.

This is a day off work.

Remembering to take a day is tough when self-employed.

Thank you! I'm excited to get this into the world, but more excited to run it amd hear about people running it!

Also, the velum and cave paper bindings are going to be DOPE.

See you at DungeonCon!!

Long-ass day at CincyCon, but had a great #bloodbathdungeon run. Points to be calculated, but they ran the time out and flamethrowered a stack of giant beetles ... solid.

6 days left in the kickstarter!
