Looking for a cover artist for self-published book trilogy. Mecha story with a boy and girl main characters. Something mildly cartoony that will punch in thumbnail.

Yes, paid! Four covers total, for each volume and an omnibus edition.

If you have a site you want me to look at, let me know.

Walked by a guy, hunky, in gym clothes, with his bro, hunky, also in gym clothes, who said, in the most SoCal accent possible, “It’s not a kind of sitch where you normally RSVP but I don’t want to be rude so I’m going to fucking RSVP” & I hope this is a new Jane Austen project.

Let me need more specific. When you drool over coin collections, or dream of puffins, or were the person who put in my feed that thing I want to forward to you because you need to see it, or find any excuse to show off your garden, or rearrange your weekend to avoid wearing outside clothes. ❤️

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.

Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

Remember the Family Circus comics where it showed footprints of "I came straight home" but the kids went all over the neighborhood? I'm now visualizing that but with romance tropes along the way.

No wall will keep it out. And the USDA inspectors who monitor it are currently furloughed.

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment.

Here’s what experts say you need to know.

How to Fight Your Health Insurance Denial with an External Appeal

When a health insurer refuses to pay for your treatment, you may have the right to have the denial reviewed — and potentially overturned — by an independent provider. Here are six steps experts sugges...

I am very tired of this, but a quick review.

In America, it is legal for you to own your bullshit laser, no matter how it got into the county.

How you use your bullshit laser matters. Most jurisdictions escalate to felony for lighting up any law enforcement. Doing to them in the sky is ++Felony.

This is such an astoundingly bad idea that I kinda think it’s a false flag or an op of some sort

Merits aside, it is insanely easy to be caught if you do this and the punishment for doing this is much more severe than you’d guess.

All this talk of whistles reminds of how much I enjoy Flo Rida's "Whistle." It is just the jauntiest song about giving blowjobs. Excellent use of metaphor, catchy, and instructional!

I don't understand people who get even more attached when they're told to back off.

Anyway they appeared on my timeline & I thought I would take the chance to say sometimes it's good not to make everything about you. Even if it is. And I am. But also not.

If that makes sense.

Back on the other site a big follower count person blocked me. I don't know why. I mean I know I can be annoying but I never figured out why specifically. I just noticed one day they had. But I feel like they were setting a boundary so when we all moved (& my name changed) I didn't follow them here.

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.
