Apropos of nothing, if the creator of something you cherished turns out to be a horrible person, the answer isn't to close your hearts for fear of disappointment, it's to love more. Love with abandon, because there's always new art to find, love so much as to always outweigh the disappointments. ❤️

A digital illustration of two japanese lesbians flirting in a queer underground bar in the 80s. One of them wears a blue jacket, the other a suit, while in the background there's liquor and a multitude of little stickers and illustrations of lesbian and queer marks.

The full illustration I did for @taplingzines.bsky.social "We've Always Been Here"

The zine depicts queer couples throughout cultures and history and I had the honours of portraying a Japanese lesbian couple in an underground bar during the 80s✨

Did the next layer of basing on my #Battletech minis. A dark brown wash after the medium brown paint work. Next up is a beige dry brushing.

I've finished reading Trolls And Tribulations. An amateur hacker decides to encourage a closeted trans girl to transition for teh lulz hit discovers some things along the way.
This was an excellent story, one of the most enjoyable trans webnovels that I've read!

PLAYBOY SUBSCRIBE = For decades, meat has been a temperature check on American masculinity. From 2012 to 2016, millennial masculinity sizzled flamboyantly in a bright-eyed age of techno-optimist abundance. Strips of bacon garnished smoky cocktails. BuzzFeed built a 100-layer-lasagna to the sky. Salt Bae gold-leafed wagyu. Timelines teemed with juicy burgers that would gladly secrete molten cheddar when their buns were gently pressed. On the other hand, I had a buddy on Soylent at the time. He got a concussion. He passed out and hit his head on the countertop on the way down because he'd put some banana slices on top of his Soylent which was already calibrated for maximum potassium and he got potassium poisoning and nearly died.

Instead of more #Battletech basing tonight, I decided to panel line my beloved Berserker.

Minor updates to Rule 7 regarding self-promotion The r/rpg mods have made a few minor changes to Rule 7 to tighten up some loopholes and clarify some questions that we get asked regularly in modmail. These changes should result in absolutely zero impact to our regular users. The changes simply document common things that we are seeing in the queues and modmail and will allow us to moderate more effectively without having to explain the same things over and over in modmail. We have not changed the definition of an active user, or what is needed to post promotion. There are some minor grammar changes for clarity, and a few sentences were rearranged. The following are the non-trivial changes that were made: OLD: Affiliate links must be clearly disclosed or they will be removed NEW: Affiliate links and other profit-sharing schemes are not allowed. ADDED TO THE "WHAT IS SELF PROMOTION" LIST: Discussing "a game you are working on", with obvious intent to fish for questions or requests for details and links. Asking for features to include or feedback on a game, site, app, or tool that you are building And the most substantial change: OLD: "If you are using a newly created account and start immediately posting to other peoples' work, then you may be seen as a self-promoter in disguise." NEW: "If you are using a newly created or inactive account and start immediately posting promotion of other peoples' work, then you will be considered a self-promoter in disguise." This change is being made because we regularly get into modmail discussions with brand new or inactive accounts that promote a product to multiple subs, but claim "I'm not affiliated" when there is clearly promotion being made. We see enough obvious "stealth promo" that we are now assuming that promo from non-active accounts is self-promo. This doesn't change how we've been moderating these posts (we've been using this assumption for a while now), merely documenting the change. Thank you. The r/rpg mods

They should make an rpg subreddit that doesn't hate the people making them lol

Did some more work on my #Battletech minis. Dark blue wash for the blue side, did the first colour for the bases, and did a bit more panel lining. Gunslinger gets the full body panel lining but that was SO much work, so I'm just doing the panels on the silver for the rest of them.

I've posted my final thoughts on Sovereign, the sequel to @aprildaniels.bsky.social's Dreadnought. The story has less to say about being trans than the first book did, but it's an excellent cape novel about teen girl living with trauma while trying to survive.

Finished reading Dreadnought by @aprildaniels.bsky.social and posted my thoughts. The pitch is that a closeted trans girl inherits the powers of NotSuperman as he lays dying and it instantly transitions her. Neither the power nor the transition solve her problems.

cis women transphobes are as embarassing as they are revolting because they will declare with their whole chest “I am less capable than a man and I demand you treat me accordingly by lowering your expectations!”

Over the Top - Scrungaloid Melee Foragers While the holotype of the 𝘈𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘦𝘣𝘶𝘴 forager is dependant on ranged weapons due to their lack of strength, coordination, resilience, reflexes, bravery, competent leadership, and willpower, in some cases...

SCRUNGALOIDS: WAVE 2 IS OUT!

This is FIVE new kits containing 53 new 3d printable Scrunglemen. Our first is 20 Melee Foragers, allowing you to build packs dedicated from the ground up to close combat. Like the previous forager kit, it also contains specialists and flags

A hidden fact about Time Passes' rules: it's a stealth GMless game! It can be played with or without a GM since the responsibility for obstacles is put in the hands of the players!
