This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away.

So don't let it go away. Keep it going.

In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

So we can’t use any public bathrooms without fear of harassment.

We can’t play sports.

We can’t serve in the military.

We cant have jobs where we might make someone uncomfortable.

We’re not even allowed to be mentioned by swaths of organizations.

But sure. No discrimination to be seen here.

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa/Mastercard situation and I'm here to remind you to call them! Keep those phone lines busy! Send them letters if you want! Don't do e-mail cause they'll just ignore you!

We need to fight this now and fight for long because otherwise things won't change.

Picture of a bookmark illustrated with Micron pens. The bookmark shows a closeup of a Zeus ZEU-6S BattleMech from BattleTech. The top of the bookmark shows the 'Mech's name and variant, along with the BattleTech chevron logo. The 'Mech's loadout is written on the right side of the bookmark.

A House Steiner challenge coin is placed to the left of the bookmark, fist side up. The very edge of the book "Gray Death Rising" by Jason Schmetzer is visible on the very left of the image.

Halfway through Gray Death Rising and I figure I should make an actual bookmark, instead of just using an old Teaberry gum wrapper :)

Also I'm still kickin', I've just had a rough couple of months. Things are looking up though! I'm trying to be more active in general so expect more from me soon-ish

It really can’t be emphasized enough: reposts help a LOT. They are genuine, REAL support. This isn’t Twitter, where links out, images, and self-promo get buried. Word-of-mouth matters here, it makes a genuine difference.

To celebrate the fact that we got one of the best narrative Mechwarrior campaigns with the Ghost Bear Flash Storm DLC, I’m giving away 3 copies of the Ghost Bear DLC. To enter the raffle, just retweet this. Winners announced Friday.

Traditional pen and marker illustration of a stylized Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IV rally car beginning a jump. The car is white with a black and red chevron livery. Inside the car, the driver and co-driver are looking calm, cool, and collected.

Anyone who thinks that restaurant work is unskilled labor has never worked in a kitchen or cried in a walk-in.

A widescreen digital illustration. A Phoenix Hawk stands on a cliff, its pilot on the ground next to it overlooking the desert far below. The cliff is pink in the desert sun. On the bright orange ground below, a small caravan of 'mechs and vehicles move through a rough trail. In the distance, past a trio of mesas, there is a city skyline. The buildings are impossibly tall, and a massive satellite dish stands just outside the city limits. The words "A Fistful of C-Bills" and "A BattleTech / MechWarrior Campaign" stand against the lavender sky.

Another piece I made for my college BattleTech / MechWarrior campaign :)

This was around the same time I really got into moebius's work, if you couldn't tell :v

I've done a lot of things in Mechwarrior 5 Mercs but I think storming the 'mech factory on Sarna is still one of the highlights :)

If I were to do it again, I'd probably use MechWarrior Destiny instead of 2E, but I don't know if I'd want to use hexless Classic again or Alpha Strike for the 'mech combat :v

I was using MechWarrior 2nd Edition for the RPG / on foot stuff, and hexless BattleTech rules for the 'mech stuff :)

It was a lot of fun, but it was very crunchy. My players were all new to BattleTech, so they definitely had a rough start ;<;

A black and white, digitally illustrated poster. A battered Shadow Hawk 'mech lumbers toward the viewer, a plume of white smoke rising from where its left arm used to be. Behind it, just over a hill, lays a destroyed Griffin, an even bigger plume of smoke billowing from its back as the pilot tries desperately to open the cockpit. A military base is even further in the background, a satellite dish and orbital cannon battery visible in the distance. A massive moon looms in the sky over the battlefield. The top of the image reads, "Wait 'till you see the other guy!". The bottom shows the title, "A Fistful of C-Bills". 'Fistful' is misspelled as 'Fistfull' because I was very tired at the time and forgot to spellcheck.

Another BattleTech piece I did somewhere between 2017 and 2018!

This was a promo for a MechWarrior RPG campaign I was running in college. It was my take on a spaghetti western in space, set in the far reaches of the Marik / Steiner border.

I've been thinking about running it again tbh! :v

Pen and ink drawing of BattleTech 'mechs in an ambush. An Orion and a Catapult are in the foreground, facing the viewer. Behind them, an Atlas, Wolfhound, and another Catapult spring their trap. The Atlas and Wolfhound fire a volley into the Orion's rear, shearing off the 'mech's right arm in a wild explosion. The image is captioned "Poor Boris", lamenting the Orion pilot's bad luck.

Pen and ink drawing inspired by a MechWarrior Online match. A Shadow Hawk is in the foreground, walking away from the viewer. It is firing a salvo of PPC bolts and SRMs at a wounded Atlas, finishing off the heavier 'mech. A plume of black smoke is rising from the Atlas's left torso, and it is about to fall.

Found some old BattleTech / Mechwarrior art I did in like 2017 :)

The soundtrack for the first third of 2025 is just a mechanical voice intoning "TERRAIN. PULL UP. TERRAIN. PULL UP. TERRAIN. PULL UP." over and over and over again.
