Unfortunately this was a hell of a year to try and make a living off conventions, and I don't really have the option of a "normal job" with all my health issues. If you've got a couple bucks we could definitely use the help!

The oldest record of anthro art is the Löwenmensch and its nearly 40,000 yrs old

Our Deities and Idols over history have contained the meshing of man and animal

Animals were tied to our gods and man has always sought to mimic the divine

Keep carrying the torch

Honestly it’s real useful to understand that centrists are eager to meet fascists in the middle but not anybody else lol

Don’t forget this is actually what is hiding behind the leadership at Unbound/Boundless protestations of “aw shucks publishing is a risky business market and sometimes when you’re really weally bwave and twy to help authors shit happens but we did our best honest”

Alleged Calculated Malicious Fraud
I said in an interview that I have a lot of empathy for you because you lost your dream, too.

But Unbound's sales reports showing my second book as a flop when it actually sold out its print run was unfathomably cruel. Seeing Ingram's data, showing 10x the sales I was paid for, broke my heart.

"Everbright On Dark Days" Female Northern Cardinal, 10"x8" Oil on panel

The days are dark and short, and my mood seems to follow. But sometimes a thin ray of sun cuts through for a moment, and lights up the things I love, reminding me of how wonderful and beautiful they are, and it keeps me going

Since we can’t ever expect Mike Johnson to do the right thing, we’re forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits. And we only need four more members to sign the petition to make it happen.

Help us move the needle!

The Citizens United decision has corrupted our government and is destroying our democracy. Here's a way to get rid of it. robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get...
How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

heads up, writers—this is the new version of the “I turned your webcam on and I have a video of you jerking off” scam
New extortion scam email going round (this was received via a writer's website contact form). I've seen a number of these recently but without the money demand; the translation angle is also a new one

If you see John Roberts in person, be sure to tell him he’s a worse Chief Justice than Roger Taney (pronounced “tawny”). That’s a nerd burn that will hit him where it counts.

As some of you are aware, part of Dragon Age day was to thank the DA Devs for all the hard work they put into the series we love so much.

This is also the first DA Day where we have no DA team, as they were laid off earlier this year.

So let's make an effort to support their new projects!🧵

Writing this piece has also made me realise that we have little to no idea where these NVIDIA GPUs are going, and the amount of them sold (6 million) doesn't make sense based on any measure of actual data centers in progress, let alone ones that are energised. This whole industry feels cursed.

Yolo often stands with his little back toes crossed, which I find ridiculously cute!
You can see vultures don't have bulky feet and talons built for grasping/carrying like other raptors. Their more chicken-like feet are meant for bracing on food to pull at it with their powerful beaks, instead.
