One of my favorites to write.
So you have to upload video/audio media as well to do Patreon Drops, live & learn, but never fear February Prompt #1 is here ππ¦΄γ°οΈβπͺΈ: www.patreon.com/posts/februa...
Without ππ, you can still throw some love, & if you give it a go, a little of how it went or what sparked.

I'm just saying who can I persuade to play a TTRPG with the OTHERSIDE editors as a Kickstarter goal to offer 2-3 people π (but also π)
But also truly if you are a writer and/or editor and are interested in donating a virtual reward such as a crit or chat we'd greatly appreciate it!
I want to be buff and have muscles, but I don't like going to the gym, so I am soft and squishy. Having AI lift the weighs for me accomplishes nothing. What I like to do with my time is write and draw, so I'm good at writing and drawing. Those are the kind of weights I lift, so I am strong this way.
I might be missing something, but: I want to provide a roundup of podcasts & webinars I've done in recent months!
Tomorrow, I'm going to record the @utopiaanddystopia.bsky.social podcast

When the intent of a ruling oppressive power is to starve the body and soul of its people so they can't fight back, you have to find ways to fuel the fire. It's why resistance and underground art is historically so important. But you have to not just make art, but make space for others to do it.
