I'm joining the war on slop with cheap, fast flyer commissions. If you know someone who is asking the computer for event posters, tell them to ask me instead. Get the guarantee!

A poster mocked up as if it was offset printed in black and red roughly 60 years ago. The header reads "AVAILABLE NOW! FLYERS DESIGNED BY A HUMAN BEING!" and the subsequent text is pitching $50 flyer designs with a "SLOP-FREE GUARANTEE," incorporating some vintage Henry Volk clipart of people looking at a poster and saying how well it reflects on the event organizer.

I'm looking for runs for my GDQ Hotfix show, Parallel Universe (live Mondays at 10pm ET)! It's focused on community-created content, so if you speedrun rom hacks/mods/fangames/etc, I want to hear about it! You can submit your run to Hotfix (gdq.gg/submit/hotfix) or reply/DM me directly.

You are not a burden, you are enough. Friends help friends. “Friends would rather see you messy and alive than not here at all.” 💚

Love my friends, being released from the hospital made me all the more thankful for them. Being home is a relief, but also a lot. It's okay to not okay AND it's mentionable & manageable to say, "I feel like a burden."
Do you ever feel like a burden? Lean on these words by Jazz Thornton: "You are not a burden, because you belong. To you, the person who is reading this right now: you belong. You may have a burden, but you are not a burden."
Friends help friends. Victoriously messy and alive

No, the assumption that disabled people require our colleagues’ stolen words and illustrations chopped up and spewed out in order to participate in art is ableist. We have BEEN creating art. Many of the works you love? Made by someone marginalized out of traditional jobs.

NORTHERN LIGHTS are possible THURSDAY NIGHT after sunset thanks to some big solar flares in the past 24 hours. Lots of northern states will have a good look. I'm not sure if it'll be as impressive as the events from 2024 where southern states (like Texas) saw it.
