Feast your eyes on Anderida’s ABSOLUTELY STUNNING edition of @aptshadow.bsky.social’s TERRIBLE WORLDS: REVOLUTIONS - a true work of art!
I think this is now the most beautiful book I own. Yes, it’s Adrian’s text (as good as ever) and Anderida did amazing work here, from typography to binding, etc. but my lord, Ian McQue’s art goes f-ing hard.

Fun fact: even in the worst case scenario of a AI stock market collapse and ensuing global depression, your neighbours are still edible.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Terrific book!
Very well! Just because the author did his own promotion, here are 5 US Kindle copies of @tomlloydwrites.bsky.social's Moon's Artifice (Empire of a Hundred Houses Book 1), which I have but haven't read, and which I've given out before! I got more for random giveaway as well.

Moon's Artifice is just 99p/$1.49 at the moment because it never found enough readers when it was published so why not?

Oh Hai 👋🏿
If I can keep these gig contracts steady, the last 15% of this campaign (that I started in October 2022) will go to the bigger ticket items that I still need like neonate appropriate pulse oximeters, for ex., and my licensure exam fees.
This is what I came for.
