‘I feel violated’ - Queer Creators Lose Livelihoods in Itch.io Bans The recent Itch bans on queer and NSFW content have damaged careers and put countless people out of work. Though some are now on the verge of homelessness, they’re still organizing and fighting back. ...

Great work @thefreeradical.org

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.

I googled reddit and it said that this clip from Jerma's recent Monster Rancher tournament made me laugh so hard I just had to turn it into a little animatic!! :3

A combination/reinvention of some older character concepts. Rylio is a monster hunter empowered by a mystical gem. He’s great at his job but terrible when it comes to managing his life.

Thanks to @knaveofclubs.bsky.social for indulging me again with this commission!

Hey, so the Hayseed Knight is apparently now too scandalous for itch.io. Which means it’s awesome and you should play it.

The (ridiculously) long term answer is decentralizing as much of the internet as possible, including payment processors.

But in the short term I think we need to figure out how to apply very strong pressure on payment processors to reverse course on this flagrant bullshit.

I mean this in the most earnest way possible. If your points of reference for storytelling all come from cartoons I BEG you to read more books. There’s so much more variety out there, so much that hasn’t been distilled through 80 different hands & a single corporation’s S+P department.

I feel like we owe Kojima an apology because he’s like “This is my villain, Corrupto Moneyguy. He controls the media and eats children.” As it turns out, this is a nuanced and accurate view of global politics.

Goddamnit, why does this far-right bullshit have to be international?

Cute drawing of a 'werewolf': In 1642 in the town of Lemgo, Germany, local pharmacist David Welman was accused of witchcraft and being a werewolf. Anonymous hate mail was sent to him, one of which included this sketch.

Just a day and a half left to get the best visual novel no one's ever played 30% off!

If you decided to offer them, I would definitely save my money up to get one. Your expression work is fantastic.

Keep in mind that the cuts to Medicaid don’t go into effect until late 2026 conveniently after the midterm elections. Do not be fooled. Vote these ghouls out. Show up and VOTE in the midterms.

Someone on the old bird site @-ed me with this silly wizard chalice post many many months back... all evil chalices are tiny when you’re 7 feet tall.

I was really surprised by how much I liked No One Will Save You. It’s so weird and refreshing for an alien thriller.

Some post-story Bermuda stuff for Faron. I really love this idea of him and all the things he'll earn on his journey. He's oozing Link vibes honestly #characterdesign #reference #steampunk? #ocstuff #adventurer

@knaveofclubs.bsky.social drew a pair of my fantasy folk, Chippen and Hodge!

@fuchsiaperfect.bsky.social helped me refine my creature designs into this PSX-inspired critter. His name is Hodge!

More Birds Bring More Happiness, According to Science A pair of new studies show how birds improve our wellbeing, adding to a growing body of evidence that avians are an antidote to our despair.

Interesting 🙂 “A growing body of scientific evidence also shows that the joy delivered by birds isn’t just anecdotal. Research increasingly links exposure to nature and specifically, exposure to birds with improved wellbeing.“ #nature #birds

All the money in the world, and they spend so much of it just to hurt transpeople.

Fuck billionaires. And a special fuck you to Elon and JKR. Your cruelty won’t be forgotten.

Nah, too much effort.

@squidinu.bsky.social has been a huge help with my creature designs! Here are some concept sketches I commissioned. There are definitely some consistent traits I like in a character.
