Three panel comic. Panel 1: underwater ocean camera view of a whale fall on the sea floor, with various bottom feeders and weird fishes crawling around the decomposing remains. Off panel, someone says, “hang on a second…” Panel 2: the speaker is a member of a marine biologist crew, remotely viewing the video footage from a computer monitor. The biologist is leaning against his colleague’s chair. He continues, “pan the camera back.” Panel 3: Back underwater, the POV shifts to the other end of the whale carcass. There’s a large spider crab with a standing just off to the side. It has a human face in a neutral expression, and is wearing glasses. The marine biologist says, “I think I went to high school with that guy.”

Maybe It Will Happen Today @today-maybe.bsky.social · 5h
An illustration done mostly with digital colored pencils. Ok, so we have a wooden coffin in the classic top-heavy hexagon shape. The coffin is propped up at an angle on nothing against a background of gray-blue paint splatters as a spooky sheet ghost rises out of it. Although it’s not a real sheet as it’s translucent and there’s nothing inside of it except a gape-mouthed green skull in the approximate head position within the sheet. The ghost is wearing a big. floppy, black witch’s hat and there’s a little brown bat hanging down from the wide brim. The ghost’s arms are extended holding a jack o’ lantern with a one-toothed frowny face carved into it. Popping out of the jack o’ lantern is a a black cat with green eyes balancing the cap of the pumpkin on his head. And on the stem of the pumpkin cap is a very serious-looking brown speckled owl. A series of spooky speech balloons is chained together around all this , each balloon containing one word and associating back tot he spooks and creatures named in the reverse order listed. The lettering in the balloons is red and drippy and reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

i don’t know what to do about any of this really, it’s all macroeconomic shit. the money is gone and it is not coming back. but it has meant that as things get more desperate these tensions have exacerbated. a lot of the advice can feel like ‘how to ensure you’re the one in the lifeboat’

so much discussion is framed through the lens of how to navigate the downturn and remain sustainable, which is how you experience this if you’re own a business. but that’s not what it’s like for normal people. what it’s like is there was a job here. it’s gone now. guess i’ll die then

one big tension in game dev and media spaces as the economy happens to all of us is that even most well intentioned discussion and advice takes the capitalist perspective by default, which is not actually helpful to all the displaced and desperate workers

Illustration of Geminiswede's Au'Ra, named Kyriel. She has dark pink hair, fair skin and white scale patterns on her face, arms, chest, horns and tail. She's dressed in a black corset with blue lace details and a black belt with blue gems on it. She's also wearing black lace sleeves. The lighting is moody, and the background is dark. Blue butterflies are flying around her, she's holding one in front of her with her finger.
