Have you ever wanted a show about an autistic agender mexican person with a special interest in Sherlock Holmes, unraveling a century-old opressive capitalist system with their community of fellow outcasts?

Then you should follow this account.

I wound up writing an entire edition of Podcast Marketing Magic on WHY so much great podcast art works -- if you gained something from this thread, this is a deeper dive with case studies. It's one of my favorite things I've written recently! open.substack.com/pub/podcastm...

@bloomandblight.bsky.social is a very queer show about a team of magical girls coming back together after their leader sacrifices herself to save the world. We use the Girl by Moonlight TTRPG as a framework to tell our story, & are award-nominated for our sound design & theme song!

Wanderer's Journal season 2 will premiere on the 24th of June!

If you supported us during the crowdfunder at the Bug tier or above, (or if you are one of our lovely patrons) you will receive every episode a week early. For you, the release date will thus be on the 17th of June!

Our work is not done!

A ceasefire is only the most important first step to end the genocide against the 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.

As millions worldwide break their fasts during Ramadan, remember Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank whose spirit remains unbroken. Join millions around the world to pledge to escalate boycotting complicit companies profiting from apartheid and genocide.

A page of transcript/social media screenshots in text boxes. From left right right, top to bottom: 1. Ian: Yes. And heart palpitations. Shortness of breath. Fatigue. Nausea. (Lmao, heโ€™s kind of a salty bitch) And yes, Iโ€™m sure that can all technically be symptoms of being fat but technically, technically, Iโ€™m supposed to have been alive for thirty six years and Iโ€™ve been fine for the other thirty five. 2. [January moves the table so he can sit down more comfortably] 3. Rory: Yeah, thatโ€™s why he likes the hat so much. Covers his face, he says. Though I donโ€™t know why heโ€™s want to. I know the guyโ€™s married- Addi: And like a decade older than you. Rory: But damn! 4. Noah: Iโ€™ve never seen you smile before. Roryโ€™s right, you are cute. 5. January: (grumpy - this is kind of a sensitive topic for him) Ugh, I remember that one. Yeah, just push a fat person onto the tracks. 6. (a lil baby boy) I, I usually only lose weight when Iโ€™m really Iโ€™ll. it makes me feel really uncomfortable in my own body. And Iโ€™m already so uncomfortable. 7. But the things that have been mentioned, off the top of my head, for anyone whoโ€™s curious: January is a big boy. Very tall, heavy set, curly hair, attractive, very symmetrical face. 8. Responsibility has a way of finding people. Especially here. And anyway, he has a very distinctive face. A lot of people think heโ€™s very handsome and eh, I can see it. 9. I also gotta find a nice and fun way to be like โ€˜love this boy, great boy right here, but January is just not this thin.โ€™ Hard to be the No. 1 January is not some twink advocate when he is in fact some twink. (Thatโ€™s unfair to Rhys he is not some twink, but on a scale of some twink to January Johnson yes he is). 10. But they really messed up this chunky, queer, mentally ill little boy. But they still raised him. Against all odds, he survived to adulthood. 11. Tumblr post: what a nice cast of characters, why are all of them skinny. 12. Cartoon of January labelled โ€˜only โ€œcanonโ€ drawing of January.

Oh *no*! I tripped and dropped my โ€˜January is not Some Twinkโ€™ compilation. Hope nobody finds it and catches all the extremely un-subtle hints Iโ€™ve been dropping. That would be *terrible*

This โ€œNoahโ€™s arc (of all at sea)โ€ is better than the biblical one

Itโ€™s been a joy working on All at Sea with everyone and Iโ€™m excited for whatโ€™s to come with arc two.

I love my Making Up Leeway family

Also yes, of course I still made a meme
