A free book. Because we were moved to make it. A confederacy of weirdos. An homage to Ligotti. An encrimsoning.

A woman with a shaved head in gold armor stands among dark briars. The briar thorns pierce her armor and skin in a few places, and she hangs her head in a defeated posture.

I just finished this up in a SmArtSchool mentorship class with Sam Weber. ๐Ÿ˜Š The assignment was to create an illustration with an original character, and I went with my current D&D character ๐Ÿ˜…

Iโ€™ve mentioned this before, but on time we had a troll influx, a lot of them posted AI, so I saw a lot of their posts while doing @aimod.social labeling.

Lots of accounts with nasty replies to โ€œblocked postโ€ abandoned their accounts within weeks and even days. The non-blocked ones kept trolling.

Spending a Friday creating accounts on a niche social media site to troll people is not a sign of strength. It is not a sign of confidence. And it is certainly not a sign of good judgment.

Woo! Has a Goatskin & Sister Chaos story
Also stars the Spectacular Squint & Beshbalig Grace of a street theatre troupe
Escapades in the big city, fueled -- as I heard Fritz Leiber riffed his jaunts in Lankhmar off his own nights on the town -- by a hitchhiking trip with a girl(f) in my wilder days

Cover of Suplex & Sorcery by June Orchid Parker. Varika, a barbarian woman in leather pro wrestling gear, grabs a kneeling, green skeleton from behind by the lower jaw and raises her fist to punch this foe. Behind her you can see ring ropes, a masked chorus, the seats of a Greek theatre and a black-clad Sorcerer with green magic burning around his hands.

Title page for "How Many Deaths Till Vengeance?" Astartha, a trans woman with a labrys and wearing Ancient Greek-style clothing, sits slumped against a wall next to a hallway. She is covered in blood. A woman in the hallway behind her clasps her hand to her mouth, having dropped a clay vessel of wine in shock.

Cover for Beating Hearts & Battle Axes, featuring art by M.E. Morgan. A POC trans man barbarian wields a mighty battle-axe, fighting back-to-back with a white woman wielding a mighty sword in one hand and a sharp throwing-dagger in the other. Men wearing horned helmets surround them, but our two central figures only have eyes for each other.

What if I want to bog hag it up like my great ancestors. Just living out there among the sticks and leaves and potentially luring men to their deaths. Huh? Huh?

Still just over a week to go on this! I have a few entries so far but I would love to see more! Check out the list of this year's Derby books, see if you can spot the one I wrote, and report back to me on the Google form in the thread! Signed copies of my debut and possibly some other goodies...

Anyone whoโ€™s witnessed the bloodlust on display from normie Facebook Americans around reports of someone being mean to a dog will viscerally understand this

I have long believed that we should be WAY more vocal about how police and ICE constantly murder dogs, and I think this is great messaging actually.

The reality is that you can mobilize a whole lot of usually tuned-out Americans around a โ€œsomeone is being mean to hecking doggosโ€ cause.

This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE. They showed up at his door "looking for migrants after receiving a tip." The son of the family asked if they could wait before entering the home while he put Chop away in the bathroom, as the dog can be aggressive with strangers.
According to the family, it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border Patrol agent entered the home, opened the bathroom door, and shot Chop. None of the agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to Chop, as he bled to death on the kitchen floor. Unsurprisingly, the agent who shot their dog then hid from them and refused to give his name. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop
