Had a great time at the hsv comic expo- people seemed to really like the block I was carving. Here it is, all finished.

There is *so much* energy out there right now, people are frightened and angry. A lot of federal workers spoke about what's going on and every story was dire or heartbreaking. It is such a failure of the Democratic party not to be meeting the moment and using this momentum.

It's always tough to manage your creative output navigating the labyrinth of 'what captures my interest' when there's a minotaur called 'but this is what sells'

Ps this is a joke. It's bad but I'm glad people are sung and fighting and resisting. I'm in Catch a Fire trying to fund ways to help.

And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death... the sweetest most courageous people in the world. You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you *know*. That the bourgeois are not human.

A grim reaper with hundreds of skulls under it's cloak looming over a city. Buildings are slowly morphing into graves under the reaper, who looks menacingly at an ivory tower.

I am not smart enough to break down recent events in an interesting way except as a linocut. I'm bi and neurodivergent as hell and I'm going to make weird stuff.

It's a tool for making fake video game screenshots, just fill in new text and it'll give you a (generally) pixel-accurate image back, the correct fonts and everything.

Almost done with the krampus ornaments. If I was going to sell the STL for a buck or two, what site should I use?

I always encourage people to go to their local school and library board meetings to fight back against the book banners who show up every month to spew hatred.

This man has gone above and beyond the call of duty in the funniest way I can imagine.

My krampus bust is so close to finished. After smoothing it out I can have it scanned for 3d printing to be made into a Xmas tree ornament.

I'm finally getting around to watching Poor Things, and I feel like it's Frankenstein, but the monster is Mary Shelley. I can't imagine I'm the first to wonder about this.

The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o'clock; in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 26th, but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took only about two hours, so it could begin at ten o'clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.

Far-right group Moms for Liberty reports more than $2 million in revenue in 2022 Since its founding, Moms for Liberty has amassed both vigorous support and forceful backlash for its efforts to target references to race and LGBTQ+ identity in schools.

Rich people shut them down, with the help of a lot of gullible unpaid conservative women.

3d printed some of my fantasy bugs, and of course the kiddos wanted some too.

I'm also hiding some of them in my mom's kitchen for her to find later.

So jealous. We've got nothing- maybe it's the streetlights by my house? I would wake up the kids if they could see it.
