This book is short, but it definitely has a bite to it. With notes similar to Event Horizon, The Space Person by Catherine Kuo is a wild ride at the edges of the galaxy. See what stalks the darkness of outer space... www.timberghostpress.com/the-space-pe... @catherinekuo531.bsky.social

There are people in the world who say that there are only two genders: male and female. But the heart and soul have much more personality. It's very sad that people who can't accept this sometimes utter very harsh words. You were born to live freely. Chiitan is an ally of transgender people🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Illustration of two people melting into each other as a visual metaphor of the joining of two people during sex.

they are two happily consenting adults, and this piece is not promoting any kind of sexual activity that involves any realistic risk of death or serious injury because they literally separate and cuddle afterwards so.

Illustration of the game mouthwashing, curly sits in the cryopod with screens all around him. the eyes on the screen are all looking over his shoulder where a large BANG is with effects. Hands claw at curly as he sits in the chair. in the top right corner is the title of the game "mouthwashing" with the I replaced with a bottle of mouthwash. The illustration uses neon, vibrant color of electric blues as the shadows and neon reds and oranges in the highlights. I wanted to use a vibrants, almost violently colorful palette to emulate the themes of themes of the game.

Had a dream of a woman tethered to an electricity pole by barbed wires. No one on the street would look up at her, or just didn’t care. An old woman behind me said “Ooh hunny that’s why we don’t play up there, you get electrocuted.”

The fascist platform is apparently to bitch, bitch, bitch about everything, and when you've run out of proscribed topics to bitch about, you find literally anything else around you to bitch about instead so you can bitch some more.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them.

Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!”

Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.”

Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face.

Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

Post from President Trump on Truth Social:

Six people were killed, and 24 people were shot, in Chicago last weekend, and JB Pritzker, the weak and pathetic Governor of Illinois, just said that he doesn’t need help in preventing crime. He is CRAZY!!! He better straighten it out, FAST, or we’re coming! MAGA. President DJT
