Public Domain Art is the lifeblood of small tabletop rpgs, but it can be a nightmare trying to find the right art and license. This week, I’ve re-uploaded my old list from 2020 (with updates) of public domain websites. That's 500,000+ public domain paintings, photos, maps, and film. Link below 🔗👇

I think all the time about how brilliant a premise it is that the comedy within the show on 30 Rock is SO BAD on purpose. And Alan's great reporting here also gets at how important it is to have performers who are open to looking silly instead of insistent on looking cool!

I was tempted to pirate HP, curiosity and all that. But @jessiegender.bsky.social is right - think of the amount of times HBO commented on GOT leaks and downloads, just as an example. They DO track these things, and even that drives interest. Let this show die. Trans people deserve better.

control resonant
four panel cartoony doodle comic of Zoe de Vera and Dylan Faden from the video game Control Resonant. Panel one: Dylan waves his hands and cries out "Everyone hates me... I don't blame them! I probably deserve it..." Panel two: Zoe sticks a finger in his face and says "Fuck them!! And fuck you. I didn't give you permission for that kind of self-pity." Panel three: Dylan has a very sad face while Zoe stares him down. Panel four: She relents and pats him on the head. He looks happy, like a dog getting pets.

Again: "Tilly Norwood" is not a person; it is a shoddy, and also pretty gross puppet. Stop referring to it as "she," and start asking whether there might be something a bit off about wanting to promote a sexualized but also childlike "actor" that can never tell its creators or users "no."

Harry Potter at least had two important derivative works: The Methods of Rationality and My Immortal. One is a puerile power fantasy, laughably badly written, with a less than adolescent insight into the world, and a tragically transparent author insert main character. The other is My Immortal.

i've decided "touch moss" is superior to "touch grass." moss is simply more evocative. it suggests having been online too long and being required to be returned to the forest. eventually we'll all be be telling people to commune with lichen.

Dig up old graves. Here’s a body from the year 2000. *see alt description for deeper details
Text on image says “the god page”. This is a drawing done in 2000, pencil on paper, then colored with a mouse, probably done in photoshop elements that came with my scanner- I figured out how to do “layers” in it despite that not being a feature. The two figures are Good God and Evil God from my series, The God Machine. I believe they’re in a padded room? I dig Good God’s outfit a lot..!

if you won’t listen to me, maybe you’ll listen to @lillywachowski.bsky.social because if you actually care about trans people you gotta drop Harry Potter
There is a big "Harry Potter" series coming out on HBO soon and there are many people opposed to it because of J.K.
Rowling's transphobia.
She is funding trans genocide. J.K. Rowling funds trans genocide, full stop. So, if you support "Harry Potter," you're supporting trans genocide. The money that goes into you enjoying these products, a portion of that money goes to J.K. Rowling and that money goes into her funding anti-trans legislation all over the world. In the same way that if you are against Elon Musk, you boycott or don't buy Tesla; and if you're against global warming/climate change, you try not to buy as much gas, you try to mitigate your use of these products. It's simple math. So, your enjoyment of these shows, and continued support of these shows, is supporting my eradication.

As someone who has been tweeted about personally by Rowling. And who spends my whole life trying to fight the damage caused by the litigation she funds. I think, personally, I would be less harmed by you giving me an actual kick in the ribs than watching the new Harry Potter & trying to justify it.
