Big thanks to everyone who supported the Kickstarter, because that means I get to draw these weirdos again! I gave them a nice feast, but we're looking forward to some chaos in future illustrations!
Some previews of the expanded random inventory tables from the forthcoming revision 0.7 of "Eat God" (penguinking.itch.io/eat-god). As these screenshots are a little too text-heavy to fully describe in the ALT tags, their full text is provided at the link below:

Generative AI is an engine for churning out contaminated information faster than people can produce safe information, let alone fact check and correct it.

And corrections never remove the original contamination, it's an attempt to stem the metaphorical bleeding and hope for the best. 11/

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.
Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

2025 art summary time! All over the place w/ art this year, probably because I spent 2/3s of the year helping develop and write the finale for Tattered World while also writing regular updates! My brain was full!

Tried to find a "real" job/degree path for my quasi-mandatory BA. Managed to get an AA in art by accident. Went to art school. Came back. Worked at a library for years to pay bills (& because libraries are cool!) Dodged pressure to get a library degree. Burnt out at library due to a lot of factors.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

Sometimes i get sad at those “I wanted to look up what kind of horse pulled medieval wagons It’s three hours later and playtex bra sewers made spacesuits i have a problem” no. No, you don’t. Hydrate and get back in there
I strongly recommend everyone do research sometimes 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘯.

Look something up on Wikipedia. Go to the little citation. Follow it. Read the article it's referencing. Follow links to the original interview. Read the paper written by the interviewee

It genuinely makes you appreciate journalism
