Hey, everyone, I've had a few people ask how they can help after I announced I had to cancel my attendance at #ConOnTheCob. Honestly? Buy stuff. If you were looking for an excuse to buy physical copies of my book you can buy directly from my website and I get more royalties. www.thekalpar.com/home

I got Vermintide for my birthday and it had another rarepair hidden in it for me #art #warhammer #vermintide

Sketch of Witch Hunter Victor Saltzpyre and Bright Wizard Sienna Fuegonasus from Warhammer Vermintide. Sienna is sitting on a table, curling seductively against Victor who looks down on her, unimpressed.
There's also a doodle of Victor's hat catching on fire on Sienna's hair.

I think it is crucial for the health of the Democratic party that the entire consultant class from previous administrations, including and especially Clinton, be told to go home and stop bothering people. They are wrong about everything and have been holding the party back for decades.

Here's another one where I'm very proud of the translation of sketch to finish. Also, as you can see, she didn't have her cane yet in the initial sketch. That came after a patron messaged me about something just after this sketch won the vote to be next.

sketch of a plus sized woman coming down grand steps in a long flowing cape.

Dramatic Entrance
A beautiful plus sized Black woman descends stairs in a regal outfit, one hand on her hip, a cane at her side for balance and a massive grin on her face as she looks directly down at the viewer. Her dress is done up in reds, oranges and yellows and her hair is slightly curled trailing asymmetrically down the left side of her cheek. The emotion is that all eyes are on her and that’s how she likes it.

Your 3rd dose today of Anthropic settlement madness (at least from me). Authors, CHECK YOUR CLAIMS! Your situation may have changed, per this email from the settlement administrator that some authors are receiving (subject heading: Anthropic Copyright Settlement: Allocation Updates)

We made updates that may affect your claim.
What Changed?
Wed, Sep 30,
2026 at 5:35 AM
Based on feedback from claimants, we updated how certain works are categorized.
In particular, where multiple claimants submitted default claims for the same
ownership interest in a work, we changed those works from agreement to
disagreement.
In addition, the portal is updated to reflect that some claimants changed their sole
ownership claims to default claims, and some claimants withdrew their claims.
What This Means for You
As a result of these updates, some works on your claim may now be categorized
differently. We encourage you to review the current allocations for your works.
How to Review and Update Your Allocations
Please use your claim number and PIN above to log into the portal below.
Claim Summary and Allocation Portal
For help making updates, please visit the allocation portal instructions.
If You Already Submitted Updates
If you already updated the allocation for a work, then you do not need to
submit those updates again. Any changes you submitted previously
through the online portal are recorded, but the portal is not being
updated in real time. If you submit multiple updates for the same
copyright number, your most recent submission will replace any earlier
submissions

What’s Next?
We will continue to work with claimants to help resolve disputes.
For works where all rightsholders are in agreement and where all necessary
payment information is provided, we expect to send a first round of payments in
November 2026.
If You Have Questions
Please contact us at 1-877-206-2314 or info@AnthropicCopyrightSettlement.com.

Settlement Administrator

It's Thursday. Would you like to buy a graphic novel containing an illustrated primer on SCURVY? Of course you would. buyolympia.com/Item/lucy-be...

A sample page from Baggywrinkles: a Lubber's Guide to Life at Sea. Lucy sits in the rigging of a tall ship, throwing her arms wide and shouting: "What ho, wrinkles and bags! Today we'll be discussing the biggest, baddest affliction in all of maritime history: scurvy!" "Gasp," cry the sailors, "scurvy?!"

A sample comics page from Baggywrinkles: A Lubber's Guide to Life at Sea. In the 17th century, scurvy caused more losses in the British Navy than were suffered in all enemy action. W.J.L. Wharton said "Ever-present in each captain's mind was the dread of the terrible scourge. Every expedition suffered from it. Each hoped they would be exempt, and each in turn was reduced to impotence from its effects." "Hang on," says a sailor, "what effects?" "You really wanna know?" asks Lucy. "Okay, get ready. This ain't pretty."

A sample comics page from Baggywrinkles: A Lubber's Guide to Life at Sea titled How to Scurvy. Step 1: feel woozy and sluggish. Step 2: develop achey legs. Step 3: Marvel as your gums begin to swell and bleed. Step 4: Enjoy your newfound leg lesions! (They will probably become gangrenous—lucky you!) Step 5: Beat the winter chill with a high fever. Step 6: Die. Probably from hemorrhaging in your brain!
