Could we get this funded in one day and change someones life?
I bet we can! Less than $750 to go!
All we have is each other and that is a beautiful thing.
Our ability to care for each other in whatever fashion we are able is a beautiful thing.
Dono's and shares! Let's get it done friends!
When you call a Democratic Senator to ask them to fillibuster this, advise them to volunteer for a talking fillibuster, and read the Epstein Files into the public record.
THIS! ABSOLUTELY THIS!
mid day shop bump ❤️
We're marching the long road to next months bills.
Lots of handmade items as well as custom commissions.
Or if you like, drop a dono to help an indie artist weather the storm.
cheers!

photo of two oint glasses each etched with a skull faced moon and the words the chill of the air at the end of everything.
Now that the gifts have been given I can post about the amazingly fulfilling 7 piece pint job I was hired to do last year for someones annual New Years one shot.
I live for custom tabletop jobs, they bring me immense amounts of joy to work on.
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.
it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
Oh. Oh NO.
Fiend.
I'd rather die dirt poor and forgotten than to live in comfort at the cost if my ethics and humanity.
The land has been year-walked. The future has been met in the lanes and ways. The cunning folk have conferred. On the doors of The Raven, The Woodwose's Crown and all the other pubs they use, the proclamation has gone up: 'This is the YEAR OF THE GREEN PATHS.'
The stream that begun high on the moor rushes to meet its salt dissolution. It has carved the ghost soil, collected its tithe of stories for the King-Under-the-Sea. If you've ever wondered how he knows so much of our doing inland, it is because each river and brook is a spy.
Psst.
Hey, come closer.
No, closer.
I have a New Year’s secret for you.
It’s this:
If you care about people you don’t even know, and try to live your life that way, you are absolutely beautiful no matter what you look like.
Ok so I'm not good at... any of this. My game The Devil Jonah's Leviathan is set for publishing in April's RPG Zine club from @plusoneexp.bsky.social. I wanna get folks excited for a horror based RPG using blackjack like mechanics to escape the bowels of Jonah's 'Whale' before he drags you to hell.
I love #OldGodsofAppalachia - I run it as often as I can. This is a great price to get into the game.
I’ve decided my “dream D&D group” is now The Muppets. I want to DM the muppets playing D&D/TTRPG of choice.
I want Miss Piggy to get mad at me for rolling a Crit against her. I want Kermit to bust out a lil’ bardic ditty when he uses Bardic Inspo. I want Gonzo to cast Fireball.

We have an immediate need for an RPG proofreader. This is a paid gig, proofing just over 11,000 words. Experience is preferred.
Please email jon@handiwork.games with your resume and rate. If you don't have a set rate that's fine - we can talk.
Please feel free to share, tag and recommend.
Green beans in a crock pot with bits of fries ham and bacon showing on the top.
Got the green beans going. Veg broth, lots of seasonings (I ain’t so white I don’t understand flavor,) bits of fried ham and bacon in layers. All day in the crockpot makes the best, IMO.
Next, turkey prep.
Staring down Thanksgiving and Christmas while grieving the loss of two of my brothers fucking sucks. It's also a complicated grieving process for - reasons.
For everyone missing someone this year, no matter the reason, you're not alone. I hope you find some peace and joy this year.

You have 3 days left to back Shallow Graves- an adventure anthology for the artpunk #OSR game Tombpunk 💀
I had the honor of writing the titular adventure for this #TTRPG book full of new locales, lethal foes, shady AF NPCs, & neondark art 🤘
Post: If you hate Al you probably just hate art and expression It's an infinite mashup of all the best art ever made by humans Answer: If you hate the juice at the bottom of a restaurant dumpster you just hate food and cooking. It's an infinite mashup of all the best food made by humans!
Oh my...
Putting 5 more #5e books & a #TTRPG map up for sale 🎲 DM with offers, and I can work out free or reduced shipping if they all go together as a set!
These Svilland setting & adventure books would make great gifts for the #DnD gamer in your life, especially fans of Norse mythology
Third ER visit in 11 days for our Young Jedi. We are stretched thin in every way imaginable right now. We have no answers as to why he continues to have abdominal pain. We’d appreciate your good thoughts and all the healing vibes. Thank you.
AYO! The new #Tombpunk book, Shallow Graves, is currently live on KS & *I* wrote the titular adventure for it! 🌙🕷
Please do me a favor, and share this far & wide, in the hopes that its success will lead to more opportunities to write with/for other wonderful people's #TTRPG projects 🎲 #OSR
#TTRPG folks, if you need license-able art for your projects (or even just assets for your home game) you can't go wrong supporting @salvaterra.bsky.social.
The ratio of quality art, maps, etc... you get vs the cost per month is incredible.
Support real artists in this AI hellcape if you can!
I would have been at a local Con this weekend running games, but I lost another brother.
Easier to repost than retype.
So, here's what's going on:
I've got until November 8th to achieve a zero balance on my rent (amid all this program butchery) or my family gets evicted.
I'm currently selling music gear, comics, and trying to sign up for anything I can to prevent this. If interested lmk.
Anything helps!
