this spooky season, did you know: I finished a new horror graphic novel this year? and you can read it all for free online?? It’s about finding out your mom has a secret old ex-girlfriend who is bald and wants to kill you. Sound relatable? Start here: www.thegoblinthrone.com/comic/001/

I now have a day job (YAY!!) that unfortunately takes 2 hours to get to via public transit (😭) so you likely won't as much of me on here, esp. as I adjust until I'm not completely wiped out once I get home. THAT SAID, we just have a couple days left on the Kickstarter for Heavy Are The Years!!

How I’ve missed this place: the Center for @cartoonstudies.bsky.social in White River Junction, Vermont

Image of an intersection with several brick buildings from the very early 1900s. One had a vintage sign that says Room with bath. Across the street is the old Colodny building with the sign ‘the Center for Cartoon Studies.’

Elon Musk is not an expert on the future of warfare, and he shouldn’t be leading a US taskforce on the topic. The Trump administration’s attacks on, e.g., civil servants and DEI are inextricable from its attacks on expertise in general.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

“The bottom line is that we know humans are largely responsible for the two most prominent causes: pesticides and habitat loss.” The bees are responsible for 80% of all pollination wide, so we should do our damndest to save them. For then, for us, for microcosms, for the future.

A bilingual dude next to me at the cafe is trying to convince a client that Salesforce AI is usable and client ready. This was after 10 minutes connecting to the video call. It’s going terribly, the amount of hand gestures being used to illustrate the points seems obvious (to me), it’s a grift.

Two weeks into #soloseptember I suddenly remember about Itch bundles All my solo games are 25% off, or buy all 5 as a bundle and get 50% off. There's stuff to make you sad, stuff to make you touch grass, and even a gamified crochet pattern in there. itch.io/s/201023/sol...

Five game covers on a dark green background with the caption "Solo September Bundle!"
Games are: Tiny Town, a game to play outdoors; Break Your Heart, a ritual of self-destruction; Lie To Him, a solo roleplaying game of deception; Chaos Crochet, create a unique scarf shaped by fate; The Letter You'll Never Send, a short epistolary game to play alone
