When a sentence starts with “Trump says” or ”Trump said” I assume that it’s a lie. Why do so many reporters continue to think they are sharing useful information when they begin like this?
I got banned from twitter in 2023 for this drawing. They called it "violent speech". It had over 40K likes and too many comments for me to read before my ban, but I still see it floating around here and there. Save a copy, and use it freely. No attribution needed. Love u

This right here is why I do not, and will not, use Substack in any way, shape, form, or fashion.
Just because she's not ranting like the unhinged person she's shown us for years, doesn't mean that she's not complicit for what is happening in this country now.
"There's this expression, 'cursed by the gods'. What does that curse entail?"
"Literally, 'may people behave like humans at you'," the god said.
"Ouch! And 'blessed by the gods'?"
"Same thing."
"How can it be the same?"
"The difference," said the god, "is which people's attention you catch."
This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10 (IG: astro_christina)
You know, there's a special kind of psychic agony one experiences when all they want to do is show off this shiny, new, amazing idea they've had, but they can't because it's Saturday and they *PROMISED* people that they'd actually start relaxing on the weekends instead of working. 😅😅😅
I am so genuinely thankful to the people responsible for the tech and broadcast control for making it possible for all Humankind to be part of this from the commodity of our homes. This has been absolutely incredible #ArtemisII
For the first time since July of **2020**, I have done my full treadmill program (or the equivalent thereof) EVERY. FUCKING. DAY. THIS WEEK!!!! 😤😤😤
Now I'm a real DnD Innkeeper. I have one whole room to rent~

Welp. I'm back on my #BaldursGate3 bullshit again. Workin' on a "Rough Draft" of a new project. Not gonna say *exactly* what it is yet, but it may or may not center around our favorite cat-loving former Chosen of Mystra... 😜
OMFG I LOVE THAT TREE SWALLOW SHOT!!! 😍😍😍
Okay, so I chased the rabbit on one of my breakthroughs and y'all? I am absolutely fucking STOKED to share this project with you all once I'm done with this uhh... "Rough Draft" of sorts.
Stay tuned. 😉
Gotta love it when it's the end of the day, you're winding down for dinner, and then apropos of *absolutely* nothing, you have a spontaneous breakthrough on not one, but TWO of your projects and suddenly *HAVE* to get back to work. 🤣🪦🤣

WE’RE NOT DOOMED: Wed Apr 8, 2026
Yesterday sucked. It was easy to feel like there was no light, and, frankly, I didn’t think telling you otherwise would be productive, unfortunately.
But it’s a new day and I’m ready not to feel Doomed, what about you?
Let’s start with an international story!

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Claims we have no power to impact what happens are nevertheless an intervention in what will happen, by discouraging participation, by encouraging passivity, surrender, acquiescence. If you insist that a given outcome is inevitable, you are lobbying against resistance.
Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.
Follow-up to this: Sent a stick-figure quality sketch to the artist I've been talking to about the cover art for this project.
Internal Screaming Intensifies. 😅😅😅
*sigh*
If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it.
If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it.
If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you.
I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.
So... it turns out that I am *A LOT* closer to done with one of my projects than I thought I was.
Like... this is "If my standards weren't higher I could hit *Publish* right now" close to done.
My stomach and my brain are trying to convince me this is proper cause for panic. 😅😅😅

You don’t write like AI—AI writes like you. Defend the em dash.
I just saw this.
Artemis II astronaut Reid Wiseman named a newly discovered moon crater after his late wife, Carroll, who died in 2020 following a 5-year battle with cancer.

Before I do literally *ANYTHING ELSE* after breakfast, I must first pay the requiset "Morning Brushies" Tax.
Otherwise I get yelled at. 😆
One of these days, I'm going to *STOP* holding myself to unreasonable standards.
And with a whole lot of discipline, it might actually be this day. 😤
