Sometimes making Magic: the Gathering custom art since 2022. You Make the Card 4 contest winner.

*turns ball cap sideways, presses play on cassette player* 🎤My name is CJ and I'm here to say/ Magic doesn't have to be expensive to play! If you see a card that you'd like to get/ Grab a sticker and proxy it!

Two Phyrexian Tower proxies draw in black ink on Avery nametag stickers. On the left, three of the suns of Mirrodin are in a hazy sky. In the middle ground, the Phyrexian insignia forms a spire in a field from which flows glistening oil. On the right, two black megaliths form the Phyrexian insignia in the negative space between them.

Yes! And the pandemic response proved a lot of things marginalized community members asked for and were told were impossible were just…fine. Working from home. Attendance policies that accommodate illness. More help for families with kids. Could have had these good things the whole time.

I agree strongly with this -- in that difficult moment, the possibility of collective effort was conceivable. Not everybody felt it, but many did. I think the political class did not like this one bit.

LIBERALS: Why do you people always say we have to destroy capitalism, all we have to do is elect enough Democrats and they’ll reform it into something that works for everybody COMMUNISTS: A company that got rich making shackles for slaves is still in business making restraints for migrant workers

Lemme tell you about the angel of history being blown backwards into the future: The shackles these people have been put in are Hiatt brand, same company founded in 1780 to mass produce shackles for slaver ships.

I'm doing a little sticker drawing, and can't decide if I want to call it "Sword of Famine" and just have it be half of a Sword of Feast and Famine or call it "Nurgle's Buster Sword" and have it be a reskinned Cloud's Buster Sword [Umezawa's Jitte]. Get in the comments!
