Seeing multiple artists lately say they got covid at cons even while masking but then I see photos of most people wearing loose fitting ear-loop masks. For maximum protection you NEED A TIGHT SEAL! Head-loop masks like N95 are best (or at least get ear loop adjusters/mask tape so KN95 fits tighter).

I am quite frankly desperate to make ends meet this month. We are $900 short on rent alone despite everything, and could really use any help we can get. I'm taking autumn YCH commissions and accepting any other help I can get to make sure the check clear in just a few days here.

#pixelflotilla
As Italy goes on strike, we all stand with Sumud, with humanity, against the g3nocide and corrupt politicians. Together we sail. I know for sure that some heroes definitely like One Piece.

If you want to join the flotilla as a collab, more details in the first comment.

A top down pixel art of the Going Merry Ship from One Piece, sailing calmly through the waves. The Strawhat jolly roger waves gently at the very top of the mainmast. A Palestine flag waves atop the rear mast, where a red, white and green sail is also found right below. Many green, red, white and black triangular flags are tied to the ropes all around.
The crew can be spotted all around: Sanji is looking at a watermelon crate, possibly thinking of new recipes. Tony Tony Chopper is strolling happily down the staircase in the deck. Zoro is taking a nap at the bottom of the main mast. Nico Robin is relaxed, leaning on the main central deck railing and watching the waves, with a book by her side. Nami is looking towards the horizon from the bow deck where Usopp can be found as well, busy with ship's reparations. Luffy is sitting atop the sheep figurehead, with his arms stretched, hugging the giant watermelon he is enthusiastically eating.

Super Seconds Festival is a cool semi-regular event where a whole bunch of makers take part in a Seconds sale: selling slightly dinged/dented but-still-good items alongside deadstock AND discounts on full-price stuff!

Seconding this post. Please keep calling and mailing. ESPECIALLY if you're in Germany.

If Germany flips to opposed, with how the current shakeup is looking, chatcontrol is dead in the water once again.

#SaveSpeech

The vote on Chat Control is in October, I believe, and there's only 7 countries opposed. But there's a whole lot more that are undecided since this all started.

I know it's felt a lot like 1 step forwards, 2 steps back. But keep calling and mailing, please!
