Yeah basically when I was 13 I was given a big gift card to the music store and grabbed 5 CDs because they had a song Id liked on the radio, and discovered everything else on them was awful or boring.

$13 for one song each.

Imagine in the days of CDs and buying an album you’re really excited about and you listen to it and it’s trash. You drove to a physical location and spent 5 dollars for a trash album. And you can’t go online to complain about how trash it is

Hi, for those who don't know, it doesn't matter one single iota if your project is "free". You do not have the rights to use art you find and distribute it. That's literally what licensing is for.
Your circumstance and goal has nothing to do with whether you are allowed to use anyone's art.

NO. IT. IS. NOT.

"sorry I caught you off guard with the post. In the dnd homebrew space it isn't standard practice to gen in contact with artists for incorporation their work, provided that they are adequately credited and that the homebrew work is available for free, both of which are the case here."

For friendsofabracadaver on tumblr, a Least Bittern! Big thanks once again for the #Waymakers donation. The challenge is over for this year but I'll be wrapping up bird art for donors over the next couple weeks. Much appreciation to all of you who joined in!

🎨🪶 #BirdArt #SciArt

Digital painting of a Least Bittern clinging to green reeds as it aims downward, watching the water carefully for movement. It has yellow eyes, a very sharp pointy beak, and a mottled gray-yellow-reddish back. The water surface is murky and covered in little green duckweed leaves.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

A figurine of a squat, frog-like creature holding a staff.

The same figurine, seen from behind, showing off the spots on his back.

The frog man figurine, seen in darkness. His eyes and the top of his staff glow.

The same figurine, showing how his markings glow in the dark.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

Needing multiple streams of income to stay afloat is a societal failure not a personal one. You should be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle with one job. You are not lazy.

The traditional fat frogs based on the Desert Rain Frog, with a spooky glowing twist. And one with a crown, for a bit of variety. 👑

These will be coming with me to the Toronto Game Expo in November.

A pair of tiny, round Frog figurines, made of grey speckled clay. Both have tight, frowning expressions, and the one on the left has a small black crown.

The same figurines, showing off their glow in the dark feature. They gave patterns that do not glow, including stripes beneath their eyes, creating a spooky effect.

Flat illustration from 2022 of owls perched on a branch at night against a dark blue sky. The owls decrease in size as they get close stacked in front, while also growing bright orange. The effect resembles a flame. The owls, back to front (large to small) are Great Gray, Great Horned, Long-eared, Screech, and Saw-whet.
