In 2018, I was a contributor to the indie horror anthology "Malaise" with my piece "Stars From the Mountain". It's currently unavailable anywhere, physical or digital, but I wanted to turn my story back out to the world to be enjoyed.

Stars From the Mountain
The following story is my piece from the 2018 indie horror anthology Malaise by Jessamine Press. It was successfully funded for physical print via Kickstarter and temporarily available for purchase…

Kalynn Bayron's 'This Poison Heart' has me jumping up and down and screaming, so we know that I'm gonna be a MESS in the second part.

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

The "Frieren angle" thing, apart from just being delightful, also completely demolishes the pathetic "AI is democratising art" argument. Someone struggling with a difficult drawing received advice from hundreds of strangers who just wanted to help them improve their art.

Reminder that the vast majority of indie artists/super small businesses cannot afford to discount their work for Black Friday/Small Business Saturday/Cyber Monday.

Do not complain about it.

Buy from them anyway!

Someone called me a liar for saying I wouldn't buy any new games if every game suddenly had gen AI content in it, as if old games don't exist. These people are Desperate.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation
Basic light pollution diagram showing four different streetlight set ups ranging from more light pollution on the left to less light pollution on the right. The most pollution option, labelled "very bad" is a street lamp with a round uncovered bulb on top, making a sphere of light in the air. The next option, labelled "bad" has a tiny cap on top, that limits the upward pollution a bit. The "better" option is mostly uncovered on top, limiting pollution above the streetlight. The final option, labelled "best" has a full shroud overtop, limiting the light to only below the streetlight, where it is needed for pedestrians and vehicles.

My dog has been helping me with my perfectionism lately
A quickly drawn comic - an artist draws frantically on a tablet. The screen reads "worst comic layouts you've ever seen_v053.psd" The artist throws their hands over their face and yells in frustration: "holy shit just finish SOMETHING!" As they recover, a little tap tap tap sound offscreen draws their attention. A little dog taps his way up to the desk. He gazes upwards at his person from the floor and says, "Mother. Do not despair. If perfection exists let it be found in my love for you." The artist hugs the dog, who wags his tail.

if u mfs want to see books and video games and comics about darker themes actually get funded you need to actually stop being a fucking whiner when horror creators tell you the cozy label is hurting us. the publishers don't care about the niche made up definition of cozy you have in your head

Can we start saying "a person's reality shapes how fiction affects them"? Everyone responds to the same media differently and it is not a universal experience. MANY things influence how a person reacts to & interprets media such as how they're raised, mental health, education, religion, & culture.🧵
Aronson, Elliot, Timothy D. Wilson, Robin M. Akert, and Samuel R. Sommers. 2018. Social Psychology, global ed., 9th ed. London: Pearson Education. The usual assumption has been that watching violence makes people more aggressive, but aggressive people are also drawn to watching violence. Moreover, another entirely independent factor may be causing both. Some children are born with a mental or emotional predisposition toward violence; or learn it as toddlers from the way they are treated by abusive parents or siblings; or in other ways develop aggressiveness as a personality trait. In turn, this trait or predisposition manifests itself in both their aggressive behavior and their liking for watching violence or playing aggressive games (Bushman, 1995; Ferguson, 2013). In an experiment investigating the interaction between temperament and exposure to violence, children watched either a film depicting a great deal of police violence or an exciting but nonviolent film about bike racing. They then played a game of floor hockey. Watching the violent film did increase the number of aggressive acts the children committed during the hockey game- but primarily by those who had previously been rated as highly aggressive by their teachers. These kids hit others with their sticks, threw elbows, and yelled aggressive things at their opponents to a much greater extent than did either the kids rated as nonaggressive who had also watched the violent films or the kids rated as aggressive who had watched the nonviolent film (Josephson, 1987). Likewise, a few longitudinal studies have shown that exposure to violence in media or video games has the strongest relationship in children who are already predisposed to violence (Anderson & Dill, 2000). Thus, it may be that watching media violence merely server to give them permission to express their aggressive inclinations (Ferguson & Kilburn, 2009). The same conclusi

[ #dnd OC ] Naj'all in his Drider form, cursed by Lolth herself and condemned to guard the Demonweb Pits 🕸

This was such a delight to roleplay! One of the best dnd games of my entire life 🥹
Sort of Character Sheet of my original dungeons and dragons (2024) character, Naj'all Armgo, from house Barrison Del'Armgo. At the end of our game "The Wounds Once Made", he was punished by Lolth with the most dreadful of curses for a drow, to be turned into a Drider. Naj'all is a tall drow elf man, with long disheveled white hair, red eyes with black scleras and an ugly scar on his face. His jaw splits into two separate parts. His torso is attached to the bodyof a black-purplish spider with 8 spiky legs. In the top left of the image a portrait of his face, scowling at the viewer with an impassive expression. In the top right there are two Sava pieces he himself cut from onix stones. The Mother has toppled the Warrior. In the corner, a broken brooch from his former house from Menzoberranzan, Barrison Del'Armgo.

Beloveds, I need help. I moved from the West coast to the Midwest, mayo to mayo, and I have even less access to 'exotic' seasonings, spices, and sauces from local makers who were sharing these parts of their food culture. Help me, please, who can I turn to online for a bottled jerk seasoning mix?
