post a non-religious image you think of as holy
A tortie cat gazes into the camera over a lampshade. She is underlit by the lamplight and looks sinister and mysterious.

Labeled as graphic due to transphobic message.
Text from a local political campaign: You deserve to know who will KEEP MEN OUT OF WOMEN'S SPORTS. Some New Jersey leaders still support men invading women's spaces sports, domestic violence shelters, even prisons. You NEED to know which leaders will let this continue and which will actually protect women. https://bit.ly/NJScorecard My response: Go fuck yourself Their response to my response: You have successfully opted out of messages from the Independent Womens Forum. You will receive no further messages.

if you see this, quote with a vampire that isn't dracula
Cover for the book Bunnicula by Deborah and James Howe (25th Anniversary Edition) with a painted illustration by C. F. Payne that depicts a plump white rabbit with red eyes and pointy teeth leering at the viewer. The rabbit has a peculiar black pattern on his back and head that mimics both the cape and widow's peak of Dracula. He is lit from below, giving him a menacing appearance and casts a large shadow on the wall behind him. Really an A+ book cover.

The last two episodes of season one of A Bird for a Heart have been the hardest thing for me to just sit down and write. But I promise I am working on them.
The Boy and the Muck Witch raced down the sloping road, into the scrubland. The red speck they followed, hovered just before the horizon as they came upon the badlands. The vegetation grew sparser as they slowly closed the distance between themselves and their quarry. Urging his paksi onward, the Boy pulled ahead of Maegda.Trails of dust rose behind them in plumes. Ahead the cracked land began to fold into jagged outcroppings and sharp rock formations rising from the ground. Rust-colored spires loomed like lonely titans, their shadowed crevices giving Enin myriad places to disappear.

Holy shit. My kid was cleaning the attic at her mom's house and found some comics I drew 30 years ago.
Drawing of a guy sitting on a sofa, hugging a bag of sand. The caption: Jimmy loved his bag of sand, but he didn't know...

We're going to do a practice D&D session tonight for what will become a new actual play podcast! #playeragencycast

It will be some time before this is actually out, but I'm preemptively excited!
Image of a manila folder stamped in red with a stylized d20 shape. Within the shape are the words "Player Agency Cast". There is a coffee stain intersecting the stamp and the whole image is in shadow with a spotlight on the text.

I've been informed that podcast logos are always square. Fixed it.
The same image but now cropped square. Text and image are indiscriminately cut off.

So, the D&D actual play we're doing is almost definitely being called Player Agency Cast and I think this will be the logo. Thoughts?
