"With great wealth comes great responsibility" -- said no wealthy American ever

A cartoon of myself on a couch playing a Switch 2, definitely Pokopia as the little Ditto pops up in their own little word bubble. I’m saying, “Gotta make a little sofa for this Pokémon I’ve never heard of because I stopped paying attention after Gen 2 lol” Caption reads “Was minding my business today when I suddenly realized...”

In a panic, I exclaim, “I forgot to do my own publicity post for a book thing again!!!”

An overview image of a courtyard in The House of Hikmah video game. Set in the Islamic Golden Age, the image is bright and sunny. There is a large olive tree in the middle of the image as the focal point. There is an 8-pointed star water feature around the tree.

An overview image of a hallway leading from the courtyard in The House of Hikmah video game. Set in the Islamic Golden Age, the image is bright and sunny. There is a large wooden door at the far end and plants on either side of the hallway. Light streams in from high windows, and an antique-looking lamp hangs from the ceiling.

An overview image of a courtyard in The House of Hikmah video game. Set in the Islamic Golden Age, the image is bright and sunny. There is a large olive tree in the middle of the image as the focal point. There is a young girl in teal and orange clothing standing on the middle-right side of the image, looking at the tree. She has a long brain wrapping around her body, and one arm has a metal bracer on it.

An overview image of a bench in the courtyard in The House of Hikmah video game. Set in the Islamic Golden Age, the image is bright and sunny. There is a large olive tree in the middle of the image as the focal point. There is an 8-pointed star water feature around the tree and a red bench with an arch above it where the player often wakes up from dreams. A blue rug matching the water feature sits under the bench.

The House of Hikmah is out on Steam, so I wanted to share some of the beautiful artwork the team did, starting with the Atrium.

Serving as the 'Hub' of the game, the Atrium is where Maya returns when she is going to visit a new Scholar's Realm.

I Still Have To Be a Part-Time Woman, and I Hate It I want to reject gender in every aspect of my life, but I can’t yet.

In Thai, the equivalent to calling someone “sir” or “madam” is “khun” which is gender-neutral. Since I reject the notion of gender and go by they/them pronouns, I’d much rather be called “khun”, but get madamed here every time.

A photo of a copy of Wine Ghost Goes to Hell by Sage Coffey. The cover depicts a hairy legged sheet ghost flying around a papercraft city with the title in handwritten cursive.

Wine Ghost Goes to Hell, my debut OGN, is available from @ironcircuscomics.bsky.social ! Photos truly don't do justice to the vibrant print you'll see irl. I'm incredibly proud of how the book turned out & if you're lookin' to pick her up, she's just 10$! 🍷👻 store.ironcircus.com/collections/...

Seems like a good time to remind people:

• Boosting mutual aid posts is free.

• If you saw someone stealing food from a corporation, no you didn't.

• Don't cross the picket line.

We are not powerless.

bluesky is actually paying homage to an ancient internet tradition known as "signing off." it is a lost art, but people would "disconnect" and maybe return to the family computer after finishing dinner and homework

Reading webcomics in print is very sexy, and I happen to have a ton of books in print!

You should take a look at what I have to offer here!

I released four new books this past few month on Lulu, which you can see here.

an export from whatever that nintendo app was that let you make miis and dress them silly. It's one that looks kind of like me in a strawberry poncho with a cat on my shoulder, standing in front of the gates of hell. I assume I imported the background from elsewhere

Bloodbath at Marvel Comics today. Disney is axing over 1000 people. Unclear how many at Marvel. The number being talked about is 8% of the staff was cut, which is jawdropping.

CEO scumbag Josh D’Amaro-- salary this year of $45M-- ordered the layoffs. Disney had a gross profit of $35B last year.
