ORB DIMENSION SPIRITUAL WARRIOR TURN ∀ @dtronaustin.bsky.social · Nov 21
Well, getting a lot of new followers! Gotta shamelessly plug my book ;) Seriously if you don't have a copy yet you should get on it, the Kickstarter was only for getting 1000 softcovers printed and like 200 Hardcovers so I'm not sure how many are left. WAAAAAY less than 1000, that's for sure!!!
Cover to my cyberpunk comic anthology, BETAMAX. Features a Cyborg being worked on by a lady. A comic page from the BETAMAX anthology, features a car chase with a demon lady saying "come and get it, boys!" and a cyborg thug sayin "close in on them!" A comic page from my BETAMAX comic anthology featuring a dumb, racist thug trying to hit a woman with a baton but gets intercepted by Colfax Jones' bi-location blade, cutting off the dipshit's arm. Backcover to the BETAMAX book that features a woman holding a large sci-fi rifle with text that show the story contents of the book: NEO DENVER STORIES, DEMON 303, COLFAX JONES, SPACE SEED X

On this Valentine's, let us remember '70s sleaze along the 7700 block of Santa Monica Blvd. Near the Pussycat Theatre was the Academy of Satisfaction peep show.

Also, the Institute of Oral Love. Lured inside, gullible men found only "women talking dirty to them," no action.

May this one day happen to them.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.” A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees. The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

Aliens: The Video Games is at the printers.

Quite an important step, that, in getting a book made.

It's available for pre-order now at Amazon and Waterstones, but many more retailers will have their listibgs live next month - and there will be an early bird discount via the publisher. More, soon.

🌿VISIT THE ZAUN BOTANICAL GARDENS🌿

NEW: Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told Congress today that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked word of a raid, allowing gang members to clear out of apartments.

Those apartments were being cleared out weeks earlier.

Tonight, ICE deleted social media posts with the claim.

A Gear Rex from #MGSPW I drew from the #MonsterHunter X #MetalGear cross over.
I’m surprises that it was not in #MonsterHunterPortable3rd at the time? This was an ink drawing I did in my sketchbook during a trip upstate to upstate NY. The background I did in Photoshop
