I'd love to do more TTRPG equipment & character designs/ illos; book covers; & book interiors. I also love making short comics & would love to be a part of more anthologies! www.careydraws.com

I keep seeing fantastic writers with substacks and it's terribly tempting to check out the platform, but this incident from three years ago is why I never do.
NEW: Substack founders finally respond to Substackers Against Nazis. They say Nazis publishing and earning money on their platform is fine with them.

enjoying reading the sequel to the Ring, where a woman who is definitely not Sadako seduces a guy with her incredible cryptic sensuality, despite being described as "smelling like blood" earlier. I am rooting for her.

Unwinnable subscribers saw an excerpt of this last month, but here's the much, much longer convo I had with Autumn back in December about cultural criticism, my process, and a long, ongoing battle with alienation from my own taste and craft. A little rambly, apologies

"That Box We Sit On"
A metal box sits embedded in a field. It’s the everyday hangout spot for two kids after school, but why? One of them lets his imagination run. The other mostly jokes about it.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵
