So saying queer people exist is indoctrination, but enforcing "patriotic education" isn't. Got it. 🤡

We will need a logo for the bot. We want to commission a trans artist to design a logo for the LGBTQ litigation tracker bot. Please respond below if you are able to!

With the torrent of anti-LGBTQ executive orders, there's going to be a torrent of litigation. Keeping track will be difficult. That's why the legialerts team will be working with bots.law to create a bot for LGBTQ litigation related to this admin's illegal actions. Stay tuned.

I used to work for an elected official as the person who answered their emails. I can tell you from personal experience, if even twenty or thirty people all call an official in a day, they start panicking. This stuff does help.

50+ artists are working to bring a bunch of NPCs from a beloved D&D podcast to life for an epic poster. Details forthcoming. Here's my contribution! 😆

The mental & emotional whiplash of being a human being with so many informational inputs and being expected to function at a consistent and optimal level

Close crop of full-color fantasy character design. It is a fat older woman alchemist with blue skin, purple eyes, and curly hair, holding up a vial of glowing pink liquid. She is wearing a light green long-sleeved shirt, small old-timey glasses, a wristwatch, and goggles on top of her head. Anything metal is gold and shiny.

Sneak preview of a new character I'm working on. I don't always do this kind of color/shading technique, so I'm feeling good about it! #characterdesign #adobefresco

I made a starter pack of incredible artists who's work I love! 🥰

A cartoon illustration of the OP and one of her pugs sitting at a wooden table in front of a green wall. She is a fat white woman with green eyes and red hair up in a bun, holding a coffee mug in one hand and resting her chin on (and holding a pencil in) the other. There are personal items on the table and wall behind her, including books, framed family photos, a pen cup with a Pride flag, and d20 die.

A closer-crop of the character from the first picture, in which you can see she has flyaway hairs, a sleepy smile, and two hearing aids.

I've slowly been improving & adding little details to the self-portrait I did when I started freelancing 3yrs ago.

She has hearing aids now! ❤️ And looks adequately tired! 😂

At #NCTE24 this week, this is the message I'll be sharing on repeat.

Cozy, sleepy, giving side-eye

There's something I need people to understand.

The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad.

The machine that creates moving images out of nothing has a failure rate of 340:1 and the best 15 seconds... is this.

Still needs shading & highlights, but my mom's Christmas present is coming along. 🌺

I know!! I want to illustrate a poster of Joan & Doug's house so badly. 😂 Dropout is a streaming service w/a bunch of sketch comedy, D&D, improv, variety & game shows. Lots of CBB regulars over there. PFT has been showing up more in some of their shows & it's been a hoot! Def recommend!

For all you #nerds (like myself) out there, here's an updated TTRPG/D&D and Board Game online personality Starter Kit!! Packed to the brim with all your faves from G&S, Dropout, Good Time Society, and more! 🤓 #TTRPG #DnD #BoardGame #StarterKit go.bsky.app/D1Xrjgp

Dear people of America: *this* is the kind of stuff you shouldn’t say in response to the Māori people and the US. You have Native and Indigenous people here, working *relentlessly* with our own practices and medicines that never go viral or get uplifted bc this culture refuses to give us the chance.

Oooh, looking forward to it! & fingers crossed you have a chance to see him live someday. 😀🤞🏻

Are you a Neighborhood Listen & Dropout fan too, by chance?

Was just creeping your profile and loving your art, but we have this in common too! 🥳 Saw PFT live with CBB for the first time this year. Love Dan Lippert on Man Dog Pod, but now I def need to try Teacher's Lounge 😁

Wow... that is such a lovely thing to say. I truly appreciate that! 😭❤️

Photo of Beans, a small blackish silver pig with a white chin and chest, sitting on a couch and looking confused. His eyes don't quite point the same direction, so it's hard to tell exactly where he's looking, but it's roughly towards the camera. In front of him is a table with a Scrabble board game in progress.

Beans comes to work with me sometimes, so he has a bio on my team's website. He just got his very first piece of spam, requesting he submit work to a (fake?) academic journal 🙃
