Yesssssss read it. Read it right now

This Is Just To Say

I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update

and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize

Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying

I assume this is just a flimsy attempt to get people to say "no wait, I guess I DON'T hate that movie more than anything else I've ever seen" but I don't think it's going to go the way he thinks

I am so excited for this conference!

May 30th!

An original illustration based off silent hill 3, by miasmatik (me), that will be available as part of a survival horror stamp rally at lvl up expo in las vegas this week

“Who else up fighting god” -heather mason, 2003 (silent hill 3 ily)

A pink background decorated with rainbows and dashed lines in the colors of the lesbian pride flag. The text reads, “Lesbian Visibility Week Bundle; 94 sapphic & lesbian books for $40 USD; 4/20 - 4/26; exclusively on Itch.io”

Welcome to #LesbianVisibilityWeek. All sapphics and girl kissers have debuffed stealth and perception this week.

To compensate, some lovely authors (self-included) have a pack of 94 sapphic and lesbian books, zines, comics, and RPGs you can get for just $40.

Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.

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✨

Not me suddenly becoming re-obsessed with my first ever decent novel attempt about a tabloid writer who investigates her sister's mysterious death and it keeps leading her to a local urban legend

If you're ever in the area of SE Wisconsin I highly recommend stopping by. It's not a large place but it's cozy and their food is top notch. Plus they hold 2 little markets each year: the book fair I just went to and a book/craft fair around Christmas

The entry way of The Final Girl. The bar is dimly lit and a mural of Ghostface can be seen around the doorway to the right which also features a neon sign that says "Hello, Sidney"

Oh yeah! I've been going there for about a year because that's where the library holds their horror book club. Everything is horror themed and the menu has gluten free and vegan options 😂 They also host regular drag shows and local punk and metal bands

It's one of my favorite places

Also, if it helps at all I just came from the local little queer horror bar's book fair and the people are clamoring for entertaining queer books by actual people. Everyone left with a stack of stuff

And *whispers* I've read a lot of those books and the people who love them were never going to be my audience because 90% of those books are for people who have never read a decent sentence in their life 🥴 So I don't sweat it even if I envy the money

It's no different than video games to me honestly. The studios say "ULTRA HD HIGH FRAME RATE AAA GAMES" but then Stardew Valley and Undertale break sales records for years. So yeah people are buying the booktok trends but there are probably just as many people looking for something better

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

illustration is a cover image. on a bright red background stands a lifeless suit of armor being overtaken by a strange moss like plant that's all roses and twigs.the title of the comic is Pocket full of posies, by Ripley ash

now live! a new short, experimental dark fantasy comic about a strange new plague that happened during the Middle Ages

I have no capsule vending machine but I DO have a barely used patreon that I am resurrecting next month so I guess I'm putting these micro stories to work there

I want one but I'm not sure where to put it in the yard. So I'm sitting here like 🤔 Right now it's all just flat grass back there and I want to add plants and a sitting area in the future so I can actually USE it

Oh the only plant stuff I'm actually allergic to is whatever pesticide they must be using on alstroemeria now because if I touch that I get itchy and red within hours which is great when it's used in a lot of wraps 🙃

because CD players, walkmans, and VCRs usually fucking worked and did precisely what was asked of them without relogging in and syncing and re-entering passwords and getting confirmation codes and doing 2FA with out TV and phone and clicking a fake "remember me" box that's fucking why

I'm just posting the full latest Kingfisher page here, I worked hard on that house damn it!

Okay apparently it only costs like 200 bucks to get one of those capsule vending machines

Who wants to front me the money so I can make a capsule machine full of tiny paintings?

Photo of a small vending machine full of blue and clear balls containing tiny zines, inside a bookstore. A label on the front of the machine says “minor transient documents of everyday life. Katherine Montalto” and features a QR code.

Photo of my hand with long lavender nails holding a ball from the vending machine.

Photo of my hand with long lavender nails holding a tiny zine with a fingerprint or tree rings looking design. The text reads, “minor transient documents of everyday life. Katherine Montalto.”

Photo of my hand holding open the haiku zine. On the left is Katherine Montalto’s pyramid logo. On the right is a haiku entitled “rain.” It reads, “tiny particles/ like sand in an oyster shell/ form clouds in the sky”

We visited @katherinemontalto.bsky.social’s haiku vending machine, currently on display at Whistler’s Daughter Books in Ferndale, MI.

We each got haikus. Here is mine. Each haiku costs fifty cents and you also get a piece of candy.
