The Divine Remnant | July Pilowsky The visionary oracles of the Divine Remnant work together to resurrect their gods and chart a new course for their people.

My new larp The Divine Remnant is up on my larp designer website! If you enjoyed The Divine Fleet, then consider running this at a con or for your friends, because it's set in the same universe (The Oracular Cycle.)

The plastic eggs are reusable and you can put wrapped or unwrapped candies of your choice inside. It’s possible to get chocolate eggs in the US, but not kinder eggs with toys inside, as those are illegal

The dyed chicken eggs are kind of old-fashioned. Mostly it’s plastic eggs filled with candies now for egg hunts

I've personally seen the years of nastiness and condescension and dismissal we've faced to get where we are now, only to be met with this latest barrage of hate from right wingers

I probably shouldn't be surprised about how vile she is any more, but I still feel sick about it because asexuality acceptance and education is something I've been screaming about since 2011

Two of Wands Zine by Metaparadox LARP, Tarot, and Finding Truth from Fantasy

I just published an essay zine about finding truth in fantasy through LARP and tarot #LARP #tarot #zine metaparadox.itch.io/two-of-wands...

...as if the asexual community didn't already have enough to deal with regarding harassment, shaming, denial of our experiences and identity, sexual coercion, and medical discrimination (which is barely acknowledged even even in queer healthcare spaces despite it being incredibly prevalent)

I hate that my eyeballs just had to see that tweet jkr made being horrific and bigoted about asexual people on International Asexuality Day, sending her audience of millions of other bigots to be hateful to another marginalized group...

I've got emergency commissions open because I haven't been able to get back on track after recently missed a week of work due to a family emergency. My bank account is currently in the red, and the extra squeeze of taxes made things worse. Here's some examples of my work.

To completely change gears (lol, gears) I just got the cover art for my next self-published zine! The title will be "Bipedal" and it's steampunk robots with extra gender. Also bikes. :D @metaparadox.bsky.social who is a truly talented artist and zinester,, did the artwork, and WOW! It's perfect!

I think I hit a new zinester milestone. I found someone selling one of my zines on Ebay for 20 bucks
