It is **crucial** to do this now because once a majority of Dems selects a speaker in their caucus meeting on Nov 18 and 19, EVERY SINGLE DEM is bound by that decision on the floor Jan 3 per Dem Caucus Rule 34.

Rambling in the group chat and I realized that honestly, out of so many of the issues, I bet this is what most people in the country actually care about right now 🤣

OH the icons show up in the links, my little portfolio owl is here now... How cute 🥺

earlier this month I committed to doing a minicomic challenge of 4-8 pages; about a week ago I finished roughs for 19 pages (with intent to insert 1 more page for clarity + achieve a round 20); it's about DOG NUNS wish me luck with lining + coloring(?) it in time for halloween posting 🎃

Public Domain Art is the lifeblood of small tabletop rpgs, but it can be a nightmare trying to find the right art and license. This week, I’ve re-uploaded my old list from 2020 (with updates) of public domain websites. That's 500,000+ public domain paintings, photos, maps, and film. Link below 🔗👇

"Get in, bitches, we're going WALKING!" We had a fun time with #BigWalk 💖 (Art credits left to right: @cyborrrg.bsky.social | @laiska.bsky.social | @blankd.bsky.social | @kawaiiguignol.bsky.social )

Okay, this sounds fun... Let's give this a go 😎

In an achievement that is probably only exciting to me, for the first time in my entire life I just managed to clear an Expert level Minesweeper board without clearing any of the bombs

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

Humaning.

I hated the show Caillou as a kid, but my sister liked it. The one and only day that I decided to be gracious and let her know that Caillou was about to start was September 11th, 2001, and if you can believe it, they weren't showing Caillou that morning.

Letting human translators to review AI translations is quite ridiculous. It’s like asking professional people for repairing a broken stolen car when they have enough skill to make new cars legally.

Oh....

1996: can't use the internet without your phone 2010: the internet stretches before you like the vast expanse of a new frontier. You dance through it, unhindered. Unburdened. You have never heard of 2-factor authentication. 2026: can't use the internet without your phone

tepid take for letterer appreciation day: if manga translators ever get a 2x raise (hah), letterers deserve 3x. 4x if we're talking full SFX/signage retouch. and more for rush simuls where they have like ~24h to get it done. anything less is unlivable, and an insult to their time and skills

I started with con crud, took an antibiotic. Never got any better. It's clearly viral, now, not RSV, COVID or flu, but I can barely lift my head. People please, I beg of you, mask in large crowds. It's a pain, but this has robbed me of two full weeks of my life so far.

Nothing to shame you out of afternoon procrastination faster than a three-year-old marching into your office, looking at your computer screen, and demanding, "WHY ARE YOU PLAYING A GAME?!"

I'm still available for work btw! Anything and everything is appreciated 🫶

Reactions in my household to me producing this object from my bag: My 3-yr-old nephew: "it's a rooster! It's wearing a thingy!" (gleefully snatches it and starts playing) My sister, former seasoned con-goer, finally seeing it a minute later: "...OH NO 🤣"
