A display of poetry chapbooks and full length poetry books by David M. Briggs

Working the Adult Book Fair!

I am begging you. Please learn about stress/discomfort tolerance. Practice raising it. You need this to survive. If someone online can ruin your day with a throwaway comment, you desperately need to understand discomfort tolerance and consciously, systematically build that shit. Also! Stress tolerance is such an important skill that having a learning disability in that area is a major symptom of a whole lot of other disabilities/mental illnesses! Struggling with it is a huge part of life! It sucks! Am I saying everyone with misophonia needs to listen to chewing noises all day? No. But you need to find ways to tolerate it enough that you don't treat others like shit if they make a mouth noise near you. No, you don't have to read the fic with your trigger tags. But you do need to be able to handle scrolling past the tags without being upset. It is hard! But not having it also makes you so so so easy to manipulate. That grandma is racist AF because her mom raised her to be uncomfortable around black people and she never fought that discomfort. Trans people make so many cis people uncomfortable and that discomfort turns into bigotry real fast. Letting your discomfort dictate your actions and beliefs about things is a great way to become a terrible person. Learn. Discomfort. Tolerance.

Important shit that I’m still trying to learn.

a knight sits atop a dappled bay horse. she carries a lance and a shield both emblazoned with a golden sun on a red ground, the hose is also wearing a caparison decorated with the same sun motif. the image is framed with a floral border with some snails and a snake and a number of jolly yellow flowers.

KNIGHT - 2026

First Image of the year! had a lovely time getting into this once I managed to figure out the colours. will be adapting it into riso prints because I yearn to do some fairs.

*crying* i love rouge the bat

Read a poem at a protest and a drag show

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

a collage of a bunch of my art with my face in the middle. fanart of kpop demon hunters, expedition 33, zenless zone zero, persona, and metaphor refantazio

a very late art vs artist 2025 !!!!

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back

You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

YES DO

Lotta new followers so here's the thing:

Mostly I'm posting a lot of book stuff right now, but I am always an illustrator as well 😌

Here's an illustration about how eve eating from the tree of knowledge was a good thing, probably.

i love it when it snows and it's nighttime and it doesn't look that dark out becasue of the snow. nice.

markovchaingang on tumblr: men and women are not opposites. men and women are not enemies. men and women are two parts of a broad coalition which fights against a mutual enemy: inkjet printers

Tumblr post by and-fishing-equipment reading "in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD instead ask: - Is it SINCERE - is it CATHARTIC - was it FUN TO MAKE - is it MADE BY ME and don't forget to stay silly"

Little update: Next Wednesday, New Years Eve, for our anniversary, @chironseye.bsky.social and I will be starting a playthrough of Haven from 12-4 PM ET to raise funds for Trans Lifeline. But tonight's stream has hit a snag: I apparently don't have the right equipment to pick up PS3 audio.

As such, we won't be doing Zone of the Enders until I can find a workable solution to this problem, but in the meantime, since Haven will probably take up our Wednesdays for a while, I think we'll be moving Mega Man to Saturdays.
