Bespoke cartoonist. Currently working on games (mostly for Steve Jackson games) and books (fiction, non-fiction, kidlit…the usual).
The big changes over the weekend: I’m off of pain meds; the dizziness is almost entirely gone; and I’m sleeping through nights again. I’m also drawing once more -
Muskrat 8647@muskratjohn.bsky.social · yesterdayVery well. I think we turned a corner last weekend…and I didn’t fall down while doing so!
Everyone fucks up but how you handle it when you do makes a lot of difference.
Andrew 🇿🇦 Davis@thrownintosol.bsky.social · yesterdayMade a really obnoxious "joke" about getting "express permission from the trans community" to stay subscribed to the New York Times after a trans woman voiced her discomfort at that org getting support. Led to dogpile against this trans person, who now doesn't seem to have her account.
If Jennings is the ally he claims to be, he would use his celebrity and privilege to get this lady her account back.
Karrid 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️@karrid.myatproto.social · yesterdayWell, it appears that, sometime in the last 17 hours, Gwen Pepperoni was suspended for the crime of pointing out Ken Jennings' transphobia.
Prepping to run The Red Road, looks like I’ll gneed some gnolls! One rule I stick to with my minis is gnolls must ALWAYS be smiling.
Very well. I think we turned a corner last weekend…and I didn’t fall down while doing so!

Then you perceive the body of our kingdom How foul it is, what rank diseases grow, And with what danger, near the heart of it.
Holy basil is quite different from Thai basil, and while you can get away with Italian basil for this dish, holy basil is what is used in Thailand. LOVE broccoli raab. There's something called "chinese broccoli" (gai lan) which is similar that's used in a lot of Thai dishes.
Stefan E. Jones@stefanejones.bsky.social · last wk.TBH I'd never heard of Holy Basil. It's odd: My mother occasionally cooked "broccoli raab" (a leafy green) when we were growing up. Most produce guys out here have never heard of it. And the ones who do, don't know where to get it.
Hey - I just survived ONE near-death experience! Don’t need another so soon after! 🤪🤪🤪

Bonus: it’s a very easy dish to pull together: hot-thai-kitchen.com/holy-basil-s...
Pad Kra Pao (Pad Gaprao) - Holy Basil Chicken Stir-Fry - Hot Thai Kitchen
This flavourful and spicy Thai stir-fry featuring holy basil is a classic. Can be made with chicken, pork or beef and served with a fried egg!

Karen (B)@bookishkb.bsky.social · 2w agoOkay I want smell-o-vision for posts. That looks tasty & sounds FAB.
I may be concussed, but I can still cook. Pad Kra Pao - a fab favorite Thai dish: stir-fried ground chicken, garlic, chilis, oyster sauce, fish sauce, light soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, green beans, and lots and lots and LOTS of holy basil!
Back in 2013, CJ Cherryh got in touch to compliment this strip of mine. I need to print and frame that email... www.dorktower.com/2013/05/14/p...

Thankfully, no. My shoulder took the brunt of the fall - I was VERY fortunate!

It hurts when I laugh, but I sure laughed at this!

OK - I won’t be at Gen Con this year, but I WILL be at…
The destruction of American influence to replace it with dumb and antagonising threats and violence, is making the US the weakest it has ever been. Despite looking “strong”. It’s only a bully‘s idea of looking strong. bsky.app/profile/seba...
Sebas van den Brink@sebasvandenbrink.nl · 2w agoOne thing that amazes me is that I understand why the Republican MAGA wanted to nuke USAID, but the brilliant galaxy brains failed to see the leverage they had with that programme over states that needed it. They yanked it wholesale. Gone leverage. A hole for other nations to fill (which they will).
The GP was almost deliriously happy with my recovery so far. So I *think* things are going well.
The Devil Kitty@feles-diabolica.bsky.social · 2w agoI hope you recover quickly!
UPDATE: My latest tumble resulted in a concussion. As confirmed by my local GP, yesterday. So what was on Monday a decision I was comfortable with is now (no pun intended) a no-brainer!
Muskrat 8647@muskratjohn.bsky.social · 2w agoHi, friends! I’ve made the difficult decision to skip Gen Con this year. For obvious reasons.
