May you rest easy, and may your memory guide us all. Thank you for everything. β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή

At the grocery store yesterday, I was crouched down, getting bread. A guy I've never seen before comes around the corner.
Guy: "Hey. How's it going?"
Me: "Alright. How about you?"
Guy: "Awesome."
And then he walks away. I am not equipped for this type of interaction.

"content creation" "audiences don't care if what they're looking at is AI" this sucks so bad man, if you treat making movies like second screen slop people shouldn't pay attention to you have already lost the market

Authors - need a cover artist? This pack has you covered (lol) and is a great starting point for getting human made arts for your writing!

Re: Frankenstein An audio drama adaptation of your favorite gothic sci-fi novel, from the team behind Re: Dracula! | Check out 'Re: Frankenstein' on Indiegogo.

Wouldn't it be cool if someone adapted Frankenstein with an entire cast of trans actors?

Oh hey, we're doing that! But we need your help to fund it!

Are you looking for a dramaturge for your next AP? Are you a GM or producer with a concept you aren't quite sure how to execute? You can hire me! Rates negotiable, I am open to skill share for friends.

Sounds like a good hook! In a world where humans aren't commonplace, perhaps it's easier to make them feel like weird little gremlins...

I'm pretty sure Sezel in your Attack of The Swarm is the only human I've ever played in a Paizo system. And even she's the Starfinder equivalent of a Belter from the Expanse.

Someday I'll make a human character in a system where there are other options.

But today is not that day.

Probably going to throw something silly up there before too long. I've got a couple bits and pieces lying around, waiting to not be bits and pieces.

I was wandering my childhood neighborhood recently and thinking about it--the history that *I* have with that place, even if no one else remembers, enriches my understanding of it, and any story I'd ever tell about it. Even if the reader never gets the old stories, just knowing they're there, and
