There’s something so beautiful about these guest episodes bc they vary in tone WILDLY.

This one went 0-60-180 and kept going. It was the most unpredictable and nuts episode I’ve ever had to edit.

But hearing @adam5gms.bsky.social and our guests on their absolute A game was such a treat

As trans creators of color, we’re always on the lookout for cool projects by fellow marginalized artists.

The Black Market Guide to Immortality offers a decadently necromantic setting based on Korean, Chinese, and Japanese mythos — and it’s made by East Asian folks!

💀 bit.ly/BlackMarketGuide 💀

ALT: A Way of Transcendence monk sits cross-legged atop a throne of red flesh that unfurls from the unzipped backs of six headless worshipers arranged in a circle underneath them, facing outward, like an organic flower in bloom. The monk is lithe and lean, the top half of their head covered in a flower-like fleshy crown with four staring eyes. Their mouth is visible and smirking. Sleek fleshy armor adorns their torso, shoulders, forearms, and legs in a dark blue color, with exposed organic flesh in a pale white shade. Six small wings unfurl from their back, forming a lotus blossom shape with staring red eyes that point in various directions. Text at the bottom reads: “The Monk. Evolution, immortality, perfection. Maeters.”

I have no memory of this session, Michael took over my body and I became a deplorable hungover man for 90 minutes!

In all seriousness, a true delight to be part of this series and share this table with a wonderful GM and two of my favourite scene partners in this entire space

I hope you guys are ready for one of the most stressful episodes I’ve had to edit on pod.

Mad props to @samsighs.bsky.social, @tayacampbellover.bsky.social and @masquewren.bsky.social for bringing their all to the table

It has always been our ethos to stand against racism, fascism, and colonialism, and we’re not stopping now. As artists, radical imagination is our tool for carving better worlds into existence — worlds where everyone can live in prosperity and dignity.

Hope is a weapon. Let’s wield it together.

idk, I’m just sad and tired of Black and Brown bodies being taken advantage of and then commodified and made into spectacles when a young girl is dead and families are being torn apart

this is a half baked thought from a full day of moving stuff, but there’s something so harmful about speculation and true crime culture that spawns out of a lot of things, the rise of social media, the popularity of outlets like TMZ, the distrust in journalism, the popularity of true crime
