Current saga is that I have to call the Internet provider after work and maybe, just maybe, not be told that it’s our router.

Just… two more weeks to deal with these shenanigans and it’s no longer my problem.

There are now two things that I know of that reliably make me want to become a feral creature.

The first is the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
The second is my mom's internet provider that she can't switch out of because she lives in a rural area.

Fun.

I know this is such a minor thing to balk about, but THE NUMBER of times that we have called customer service to see what gives is several and every time they have told us that it's our router (even after the router was replaced). It is one of the very few things that make me feel like feral critter

Sage Spaulding @washoensis.bsky.social · 1d

My service provider loves says that they have fast and reliable internet and try to tell me that it's our router and not their service (note that people in the reviews have been complaining about their service for over a year now)

Sorry about the repost! Only half of the image was loaded somehow and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was due to my internet being several shades of bad.

I was briefly pulled back into the bunny with a doodle of my lil fire mage, Fleur.

Panel 1: Shen is leaning into the panel, angry, his pupils tiny, and a dark shadow around his eyes, yelling "STOP SAYING 'THIS IS YURI' ABOUT EVERYTHING."

Panel 2: Shen clenches his fists, now facing directly towards the viewer, and continues to yell "NOT >>EVERYTHING<< IS YURI!!!!"

Panel 3: A textbox stating "We now go live to a groundbreaking scientific discovery"

Panel 4: A scientist in a lab, a light brown haired woman with a ponytail, glasses, and a labcoat, is standing in front of some microphones and cameras. She says "Yeah, so like ... atoms are girls, it turns out."

Really been on a Commander/Chrysanthes kick this weeks.

Alas, I must return to comic pages.

Sketch comic of how Commander and Chrysanthes met.

Sketches of commander looking down saying “I love you” cutting to Chrys giving a cold “I know.”

Sketch comic of Oakley reading through the commander’s very personal book and gets caught.

Wooww
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.

Screencap from reddit.

"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."

My nephew has been in the world for a week and he still doesn’t have a name. My family should have taken bets on this.

I told myself that I was done last night, but that was a lie bc I wanted to toss colors on one of the drawings.

I am oficially unemployed as of today, and it would be very appreciated if you could support me so I can keep bringing money home without fully depleting my savings in a few months

Your support would help me with groceries and physical therapy to keep working on my back problems 🙏
