Yay!! I hope you enjoy it!

The comic cover of the newest Wavemen comic. There's a bird holding a sword and there are humans reflecting in the sword.

Mail daily was good today! New #wavemen comic from @robinachilds.bsky.social came today!!!

Sorrel helped me with color flats on comics! So when I stopped doing comics, we weren't in regular contact anymore. Wonderful to work with though.

Pet portraits I painted for Kickstarter backers. The bird is watercolor and the dog and cat are acrylic. (Pet portrait commissions are open if you're interested!)

We haven't been in touch for a while. Why do you ask?

Sorry for being gauche but if you want to get invested in media about witches that isn’t racist garbage that enables a transphobe, check out a game made by a majority of trans people including yours truly. Bonus it helps fund my hopeful escape from this hell.

Definitely recommend checking out this non-profit, in addition to classes they also have a whole library of tools people can check out and a woodworking workshop people can use on their own projects.

Cory and I made a cutting board together in a workshop class at the Denver Tool Library! It was so much fun. The instructor was great, we learned new things, and now we have a cutting board we can treasure for years. (The woods from lightest to darkest are maple, cherry, and walnut!)

I love this entire thread

I am making a new character playlist and it's such a specific mood that it's hard to find songs that hit right. If anybody has any recommendations for songs about people finding humor or joy in the absurdity of life (rather than apathy and despair, which often seems to be the vibe on that topic) lmk

This would make it illegal for any site that has trans content--not just porn, but everything from trans people posting selfies to essays to comics and stories featuring trans characters--illegal in the state.

You've seen how fast the Age Restriction shit spread.

Sketchbook comic. Panel 1: a disembodied voice says “I KNOW a.i. is ethically, ecologically and esthetically awful, but I just gotta say…” Lucy is reacting with a ._. Face and thinking “do ya? Do ya really GOTTA?” Panel 2: Lucy’s thought bubble reads: “do you just GOTTA recite some tired anecdote using the phrase ‘I just typed it in!’ That just amounts to you admitting that your cheapness, laziness and poor taste outweighs your unexamined ethical code?”

Sketchbook comic page 2: Panel 1: Lucy’s thought bubble reads “and, at the very least, do you GOTTA say it to ME?” She is turning away, saying “ok I’m gonna go, um, get a snack.” Panel 2: another disembodied voice is saying “Lucy! You’re an artist— whattaya think about a.i? Ya know, it may be bad, but I JUST GOTTA SAY…” Lucy is startled, dropping a chip.

Sketchbook comic page 3: Panel 1: Lucy is surrounded by speech bubbles and text, repeating the phrase “gotta say…” she looks terrified. Panel 2: she is fleeing the repeated “gotta say”s, yelling “you gotta live with yourselves, but I don’t gotta!” A note with a heart at the end reads “stop doing this I will not absolve you.”

Gotta say…

July Newsletter! At the beginning of July, something very mundane happened that felt like a targeted metaphor for me specifically. If only the lesson I'd taken from it had actually matched the month I had. From novel struggles to crochet, catch up with me! www.patreon.com/posts/july-n...

I'm really glad you gave yourself some space and are planning in some more for the future. It's hard out there.

I'm doing okay. Definitely retreating from social media in general these days. How about you?

Definitely my favorite actual play podcast!
