Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

they will tell you that they need to do regime change iran to liberate the women, and while you docilely repeat their propaganda they will bomb a girls school in broad daylight and laugh at how much contempt they have for you for buying their lies

Survivors of bombings across history often describe the unnatural silence that follows. Everything they have planned for their life, their aspirations, and career goals — gone in an instant.

It’s that time again. Author, Modder, hopeless dweeb. Check out my stuff. New book coming soon!

they're good! (don't forget the prologue episode)

an illustration by Spindle of the characters Asimov (a half-elf woman with short white hair) helping Ottilie (a human with brown-orange hair tied up in a high ponytail) dress up for work, she's tying up her hair, while Otti is wrapping a string bracelet accessory around her wrist. Ottilie is sleepy, while Asi is trying to get her awake (for context, this takes place after the booba succ animation where Otti is asleep on Asi) Lore note, Ottilie works as a tavernlady (waitress basically, sometimes cooks though)

helping her get ready for work

Fanart of the characters "Oumae Kumiko" and "Kousaka Reina" from the "Hibike! Euphonium" franchise.

yeah! i have no idea how the actual gameplay fares but it does look absolutely amazing.

Updated pin post.

Hello, I'm Mirna. I've been doing graphic design since I was 13.

You can see my work at goodbye.computer

One of 50 in existence, legitimately belongs in a museum. I don't wanna know what importer paid for this and I can't imagine how crushed they must be.

that rules. i had a similar experience with the tony hawk's pro skater soundtracks, they exposed me to so much music i'd never heard before and loved

A trans femme of colour with a mechanic arm and a leg rising up into the air above a cyberpunk city. Waves of pink and grey energy swirl from their hands and weave between vertical lines of binary code. A variety of other Trans+ people and standing and seated on the tops of buildings and floating platform. The text reads: ‘Trans in the Machine: Chronicling the New Cyberpunk Canon’. Artwork by Lyss Menold

Trans in the Machine is fully funded!

But with under a week left, there’s still time to hit some stretch goals.

The more we make, the more goes to good causes and mutual aid.

So, shout it loud and share far and wide. Post anywhere you can think of.

i don't know what to do. with every new bit of news i can feel the walls closing in more and more. i just want to make music and instead i have to watch as "the greatest country on earth" tries every day to destroy people like me

it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying “this doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to “trans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.

being trans online is like [posts a silly joke] [sees news abt government trying to exterminate us] [like funny post by trans friend] [more news about gov wanting us dead] [repost funny joke] [trans friend shares horrible news about insurance issues/sexual violence/abusive family] [sees funny post]

that's a big step! you're cool

Of course isn’t just driving. It’s voting. Working. Travelling. Picking up a package. Applying for credit. Applying for a job. Renting a room. Filling prescriptions. Visiting loved ones in the hospital. Not expired either, but legally invalid.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

each song's chorus on my upcoming EP :)

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

i'm so sorry for your loss. ❤️

these absolutely rule

Portraits I made pixel version of for Fixeight Exa Label.
I worked off of new concept/promotional art by Nanpei Kaneko, who also did the promo art and ingame portraits for the original arcade version. Each of the portraits is 16 colours (including the black) and are in 15bit colourdepth. Fun times.

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?”

Yes. Granular synthesis

wha--YOKO TARO??

in all honesty i'm completely disinterested in more eva at this point, but yoko taro's involvement has me at least curious. though i'd be a lot more interested if the old khara guys weren't part of it...
