This is a very good tutorial. I used it and got something up on the web! Something that has space for a gallery, even! ...It's still just the freaking template and I haven't had the breathing space to edit it yet but it's on the web. BIG progress!

I was feeling pretty pissed off about the Google maps thing, but then I realized that the inclusion of 'a' changed the Great Lakes mneumonic to 'SHAME' That's pretty funny.

Smart people tell me I should post about my book every day, not just when I have new pages. So this is the cover of the collection I will debut in less than a month at SPX. Read this one for free or support me for cheep as I create Part 2 ALL BY HAND on my Patreon. www.patreon.com/c/carlaspeed...
Cover of first trade paperback collection of SETTLERS OF THE STORM WORLDS, part 1, a portal fantasy written, drawn, and painted by Carla Speed McNeil. A wooden wagon with a thatched roof and colored puffs of smoke from its engines approaches a violent magical hurricane. Ellery, the young protagonist, stands on the tailgate.

Happened upon this wild film that is notable for the animation but also the rather trippy soundtrack. I thought this might appeal to @johncoulthart.com but after searching feuilleton, he is already on the case Chris James - "After Beardsley" 1981 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hfof...

It's small and stupid compared to everything right now, but...I'm about three months out from losing my MIL. Which means that I am moving to rural Michigan by year's end. I have to start all over, in a place I did not want to go. Again. I'm so heartsick.

My sister in law had an inspired idea to make cold brew coffee yesterday, so I got to try cold brew coffee with condensed coconut milk, ice, and barista blend oat milk for the first time this morning. *Weeping gently* It works. It WORKS! Omg I missed these. Take that, lactose intolerance!

"verify your age" I had a pass/fail class in college where the final assignment required you to render all the projects you had made in Maya into 3-point angle, short animations, compile them into a reel with a dynamic soundtrack, and then burn it onto a VHS. If the tape played, you passed.

There was a -delightful- fellow in a creative writing college class who told me that the character who gave a suicidal child a seed to plant and nurture so she could grow up with it and find out what it became, should be the one who burned that tree down later in the story as an act of "tough love".

This thread is incredible. "Back in my day we didn't have cellphones, so we built siege weapons out of garbage, set things on fire, and punched each other to pass the time." I'm reminded of the boy scout who built a nuclear reactor in his backyard.

Reposting this because I went on the 27th, and I had a fantastic time. And, yeah. I felt safer as a queer person. The Loring Park Pride was fine, lots of artists worth supporting and fun to be had -- but this was where I felt like I was -at Pride-. I KNEW people here. I ran into friends, here.

As the glitter and the adrenaline wears off, I'm left with an interesting pair of memories: Kobey Layne was there, herself, at the alternative Pride. She smiled and greeted people as they passed. Amy Klobuchar's -volunteers- were running a very nice tent at TC Pride, full of pretty merch.
