No Windjammers at Frosty 😔 I knew there were going to be fewer games this time, so not entirely surprising. Having Nautilus propose to me during WJ this year was so special and it would have been awesome to return as husbands exactly one year later. Still planning on hanging with the WJ folks tho 😌

Exact wording on my app. I didn't put it on there last year and they stuck me right across from them. This is after a board member recently posted on here they were excited about BD sponsoring another event they attend. Straight up retaliation against victims.
I am too upset right now to write this all out but if some one else wants to write out the alt text they  can. It basically calmly explains why I shouldnt have to sit by Bad Dragon

I asked to not be placed across from my abusers, Bad Dragon, again at @furfest.org and was rejected from the den for the first time ever. Huh. Bet they were approved.

About a week away from the next Tuesday Night Mystery, back on a Tuesday after the recent special event. 9pm EST as always. Also something else getting announced soon, but I'm posting this TNM signup link so it doesn't count as an announcement of an announcement. Bring a friend challonge.com/TNM52

Be sure to use Al when making your next, I don't know, meal plan, for example. Definitely do not call your friend who loves to cook and ask her for her favorite recipes or tips or ways to save time making meals, because you will end
up talking for longer than you had hoped, hearing, perhaps, about her father's cancer diagnosis or how lonely she's been or even what she's planted in her spring garden and then lost with the early frost.

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.
CBS MORNINGS ON YOUTUBE (JUNE 4, 2026)

Interviewer: I read that you do not want to embrace Al.

Kane: Absolutely not.

For me the whole point of doing what I'm doing-art is a way of processing life. I don't see the value in outsourcing any element of that.

When I'm looking at someone else's project, if I see an element of the environment [where] they use generative fill or whatever to change something about the scene, it just shuts off the part of my brain that wants to know more about that world. Because I would assume if they're willing to make an arbitrary choice there, they could make an arbitrary choice with literally anything.

Federal immigration agents are still swamping Chicagoland. Sightings in multiple city neighborhoods and in the suburbs today, with reports of at least three people being taken. "ICE is everywhere," the immigrant advocacy/rapid response group Hijos de Migrantes posted in an alert earlier today.
A list of reported ICE sightings and detainments from across the Chicago area, per Hijos de Migrantes.

Went 2-2 at Windjammers 2. Not bad for someone that hasn't played in a long time. I'll be commentating Top 4 tonight at 7PM CT #CB2026

Coining a new phrase: "Feel like I gotta kill Christ just to have a good Friday" Use it whenever someone asks how you're doing and shit just has NOT been working out for you lately

Happy National Doctors Day to the docs that did not inspire my artist book, An Open Letter to Doctors, and not to those that did. Here are 4 of 10 pages of things I want them to know.
‘A lifetime of living with chronic illness makes patients and caregivers the experts regarding their specific condition. You’re a team member, not the captain. Have the courage to say ‘I don’t know.’ ‘Without experiencing illness firsthand, it’s impossible to truly and definitively understand what it does to your body and mind. Heartfelt empathy goes a long way.’‘Don’t assume patients are caregivers are too dumb to understand complex health issues. Don’t assume they’re incapable of handling honest truths about diagnoses.’ ‘Pain is real. It’s experienced in different ways by different people and it changes you. It doesn’t automatically make patients drug seekers. 1 standard protocol doesn’t fit all.’

BREAKING: WE DID IT!!! LUDOVIC IS COMING HOME!!! The judge, clearly moved by 20 people turning up in person alongside 20 online, ruled entirely in Lud’s favor with low bond. Update to come when he is home. The team is optimistic about his hearing in May. #FREELUD
