visa and mastercard deciding what games are allowed to be sold is an apocalyptic level threat to the games industry. phone calls are the highest impact way to help.

I kind of miss all the wip and quotes events. 🙈 So, uh, have a quote now from the upcoming entry for Otar's story.

Release: ~mid October

Get Book 1 here: books2read.com/u/mdwgNw | jdrivers.itch.io

🐲🪐🌈📚💫🚀
A promo pic with white text. A shadowy ruin in the background the color scheme dark blue, deep blue, and purple. In front the white text: “I want you to look at some ruins for me.” “Why?” Otar’s interest was piqued. What had a star-ship captain to do with ruins if not for money? “I’m looking for someone.” “An odd way to look for someone living.” Ruins talked about the long gone, the dead, and their ghosts—not the current living. Veil smirked. “What do you know about Dragons?” Otar's Universe Book 2 The second installment in the book trilogie "Otar's Universe" by JD Rivers. The first book "The Edge of a World" available at all major retailers, and as ebook on itch.io

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️

toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf
The cover spread from a one page zine printout. The left (back cover) features images of a scale and gavel, with notes on First Amendment and filming rights, and the advice to “shut the fuck up.” On the right is the cover, a megaphone with the title text “PROTEST SAFELY.” Behind it are faceless protestors. The subtitle notes, “A brief collection of tips from around the internet.” A spread from one page zine printout. On the left is an illustration of a protestor with the title “What to Wear,” including a helmet, goggles, ear plugs, gloves, a mask, a backpack, and layers/long sleeves/pants. Each have additional notes explaining their use. On the right is “What to Bring,” featuring illustrations of a backpack, money, water bottles, a mask, a granola bar and bag of trail mix, a first aid kit, folded shirt and pants, and an ID, with “DIY Defense” listed underneath it showing one protestor using a luggage case, one holding a trash can lid, and one using an open umbrella as a shield. A spread from one page zine printout. On the left is “Protect Your Identity,” advising to cover up identifying features, avoiding photography of protesters, deactivating biometric phone-unlocking tools, and writing emergency contact and counsel numbers on your arm. On the right is “Be Like Water,” the motto of the 2019 Hong Kong protests, and the text “BEWARE THE BAIT” with images of a palette of bricks and a masked man holding a crowbar toward a protestor with a sign, “Psst, free crowbar?” encouraging the reader not to engage with traps and undercover agents. A spread from one page zine printout featuring the hazards of protest opposition, including tear gas, rubber bullets, and LRAD sound cannons and flash bangs. Caution tape images accompany the text explaining the dangers of each, how to flush out eyes that have been maced/etc, and how to extinguish a gas canister with a traffic cone.

Apparently spam comments are going around on Ao3 telling people to delete their fic because they are writing for a "deprecated" fandom and Ao3 needs server space...

DO NOT DELETE your fics!
