A partially painted metal miniature of a warhammer 40k space marine scout. The main portion of the miniature is primed in black with a quick drybrush of neutral grey to pick out details. The armor is painted a deep blue tone.

Progress on the "lets think about literally anything else" project.

Base tone down on armor, going to work more on it today

This is exactly how I've felt over the last decade or so. The rise and fall of nft's, crypto, and now generative ai, and the commdification of every aspect of life. it's all so, pathetic? I just feel immensely disappointed..

ECCC was fun and I had a wonderful time.

But there was a storm cloud. When I complained about Trump with my white straight cis friends, we were all sincere and concerned.

But I talked with many Trans friends, and it’s so much worse. They are in fear for their lives.

I'm done moving out of my old apartment. So I can finally dive into a last minute replacement project for this year's golden demon.

This is a kitbash I put together about 12 years ago, and modified/cleaned up this year. I never painted it.

Yay! Partake in the forbidden -tones-

Yeah, maybe a bit!

Keep fucking going.

Fuck them. I am choosing to be positive.

I had a very nice sandwich today. Gluten free bread, leafy greens, pickled peppers, spicy brown mustard, kewpie mayo, a dash of black pepper and garlic powder, ham, and turkey.

It's like i keep trying to find the positive. I work myself through and find something to keep me okay.

And then another thing drops.

And then another thing drops.

And then another thing drops.

Yes, this is about Kansas, this is about HR 7661, this is about so many other things.

Well, the hits just keep on coming, huh?

If you want to stand up against fascism, then you have to defend trans rights. It’s nonnegotiable. We all lose otherwise.

With this salvo, Kansas has escalated what will be a federal effort to establish a Jim Crow system of lawfully enforced second-class citizenship aimed at trans American

It was already the case but now it's inarguable; anyone who doesn't fully support trans people is an enemy of all civil rights.

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

An important thing to remember: requiring that trans people's state-issued ID reflect our assigned sex doesn't just forcibly out us, it also means that our ID is MUCH more likely to be interpreted as suspect or fraudulent.

I've literally been sitting with everything set up like, 3 times.. and unable to feel like I could just do it, you know?

Soon. I hope.

Apologies to everyone about not streaming yet. It's been a rough couple weeks. Burnout from moving, packing, unpacking, plus everything *else* going on. It's been hard to hit the "go live" button..

The comic didn't do any egg cracking, but seeing your transition photos over time helped me realize "oh gosh, it's not too late". I remember messaging you on patreon about it and you were INCREDIBLY polite. So, thank you!

Kill 6 Billion Demons TP, Vol. 5 Ripped away from her comfortable and mundane life to Throne, the multiversal metropolis at the center of all worlds, she has been unwittingly swept up in an ancient feud between tyrannical god-kings, ...

KSBD volume 5 will be out and available in print March 10th! It's available for order now: imagecomics.com/comics/relea...

Ughh it's very good. I am capable of being normal about these characters, I promise.

You ever go to an interview, and the interviewer gets VERY cold and off putting after being previously bubbly?

2nd interview, new interviewer for a basic retail job. Within 5 seconds of me talking, she goes very cold.

Like.. Ma'am. I get it, my voice doesn't pass enough for you.

But ffs..

I started reading the 'kill six billion demons' comic.

So far it's good.

Ugh.. having to go into a target store because cvs didnt move my prescription over to the non-target based store..

I mean, come ON. Referring to some of the current trust fund 'car show' youtube channel darlings the "fail-sons of rhodesians"

I'M DYING.

The best and worst part of listening to @trangirlismo.bsky.social is not having anyone to cackle with at some of the incredible one-off throw away jokes.

Great: incredible hot-take jokes
Less fun: none of my IRL friends will understand why I'm laughing so hard.

Anyway. Listen to Tran Girlismo.

The fluff has expanded into full on smut.. :D

I cut off my father after he made horrible comments about 'being armed' and 'protecting his home' during the BLM protests. He lived in the middle of nowhere.

He only ever reached out to double down.

Listening to podcasts while cleaning and packing has made me realize I'm very spoiled by multi-hour podcasts.. a 40 minute podcast doesnt need 10 minutes of ads in the middle...

Very "company value and income are feeling a bit.. elevated.. we should tank our client's trust and intrinsic application value just before we announce an ipo" energy.

Well. Guess I should pull out my old linux server box and start learning to self host my ttrpg group chat.

o7 you morons.

Damn. Discord saw Adobe and firefox both shoot themselves in the foot and have to walk it back and thought "you know. That looks fun. Pass me that gun"

When you write some fluff content of your characters and they finally kiss. Yeeee.
