hey all, just a heads up to my artist peers- this is all AI slop, I would avoid this. It isn't adobe code, it's just vibecoded to emulate their features.

Artists! Portfolio Day is in one week, on Tuesday October 13th! Prepare your art, write up your post (including links/tags), and write out your alt text. I'm telling you now so you have *time* to write out and get help with your alt text if you need. (As well as just to prepare things in general.)

it was smart of jacob geller to only post about what he did to his 50k followers on here instead of to his 1.5 million youtube subs or on his patreon. that way fewer people know about it and he limits the financial hit

I am so tired of Jonestown being a stock reference for “haha, you’re in a cult.” 918 people died, most against their will, and still it has become shorthand for how stupid you think someone is. It's the McDonald's hot coffee incident of mass death — universally referenced, entirely misremembered.

Did you know that you can cover solo games (card, board, RPGs) without (1) making an excuse why it’s okay to play a game solo and (2) playing it off as if it’s just a silly thing because you “have no friends.” Solo gaming has been, and will continue to be, legitimate. It’s 2026, y’all.

Exactly. I am tired of seeing the “I always knew”/“their work was actually bad” takes whenever allegations emerge. Sometimes—often, actually!—bad people find their way into good spaces and make good things. And you’re not better than the folks who were taken advantage of for “always knowing”

On Jacob Geller

I'm aware of the rape allegations against Jacob Geller, as well as the fact that his name is on a court-ordered list of UNC students disciplined for sexual violence. I've hesitated on whether to post anything about it, because the victim hasn’t been identified and I don’t want to participate in a retraumatizing conversation against their wishes. At the same time, as someone who has collaborated with Jacob Geller, I do not want my silence to be taken as endorsement.

For my part, I did not know about this and I wish I had. What justice and repair look like in cases like these are for the victim to decide, and I do not know their wishes or what accountability processes, if any, took place. However, strictly on a personal level, I’m uncomfortable having collaborated with someone who has presented himself as a nonthreatening feminist without ever disclosing his history of sexual violence to me or any other colleagues I’ve spoken to. I have no intention of ever working with Geller again. Beyond that, the person this happened to ought to be the ultimate authority on what happens next, and how they wish to tell their story if at all.

my story THE THAW is now out there for anyone. 5USD / 114pg / 🔞 superpose.itch.io/the-thaw

the cover i illustrated for my story, THE THAW. the story chronicles key moments— as defined by death, abuse, and sex— in the life of field medic Enver Kaychak.

this is a line drawing of a crow, mouth open in a silent shriek, frantically and fearsomely copulating with the dead body of another crow, a phenomenon which occurs in nature and here serves as a description of the potent intrusive thoughts and fantasies of the main character.

In my explorations so far, I'm mostly finding editorials. But those are useful too. www.npr.org/sections/cod... horrorpress.com/editorials/1... Personally, I will continue to avoid using it.

Rook @boxen.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Thank you for that! I suppose for me it becomes a question: does the chronology matter more than the way it eventually came to be used? If the latter matters more, then I guess someone could argue "well, it's not used that way anymore!" I'll look into some Black linguists' thoughts on it.

The seasonal term is alliterative and the word in question means "creepy, scary in a whimsical way," etc. I don't wanna type it in case I'm right lol

Rook @boxen.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Am I wrong or is the word many people use for this "season" straight up a slur / directly derived from a slur? It's used so frequently that I am starting to doubt myself. But I'm 98% sure we (white people) should not be saying that.

We've had the ability to watch, say, Counterstrike marathons, Street Fighter tournaments, or chess matches between computers since the 90s. Spectacles which, by their very definition, would be at a "higher standard" than human play. And nobody wants it. It's entirely meaningless. It has no appeal.
