one of my contacts in G has been profusely thanking me for our diligent support because we've been keeping their eSim active since last summer. we are almost at 3 million CAD!

anyway this is what i've been thinking about rather than charlie kirk.

Just got all of the money counted across venmo and such; In total we were able to raise $600 in our single day of fundraising at the SF Zine Fest! A good start for all of the art that was donated to me!

Despite the weird load in situation at the SF Zine fest, overall the show was pretty decent, workload-wise. I might be more willing to do a few conventions now and then.....if they have masking mandates and covid precautions, of course.

At yesterday's SF Zinefest, @redgoldsparks.bsky.social was kind enough to donate a few of eir zines about maintaining eSims! An additional page mentioned our Crips for eSims for Gaza initiative and the itch bundle organized by myself, @hexcavator.bsky.social and @baiyu.tofu.rocks! Thank you so much!

You can also sign up for workshops with @workshops4gaza.bsky.social to benefit the Sameer Project, as well as support Crips for eSims for Gaza, a collaboration between disability justice organizers @pipagaopoetry.bsky.social, @thellpsx.bsky.social, and @sfdirewolf.bsky.social:
We spent $150K in the last month and only raised $58K. Thankfully the earlier Itch Bundle fundraiser meant that we haven’t yet ran out.

All support is deeply appreciated to keep Gazans connected through forced starvation & colonial violence:

I've been so busy prepping to table at the San Francisco Zine Fest this weekend, that I forgot to actually advertise it anywhere on bluesky. Whoops!

I will be representing and raising funds for Crips for Esims for Gaza this Sunday, with a plethora of donated art from various artists!

Yall, I'm so thrilled that #Frogsong is one of the titles in this game.

Its a game about a little frog in big world. And being a way to help Palestinians makes my heart grow ten sizes.

And thanks to the creator @brodnork.bsky.social for making our work matter that much more ♥

Keep up that boycott. Don't buy Oblivion Remastered.

Dust off that old copy of Morrowind instead for a colossal fan-made expansion adding another 140 dungeons, 270 quests and a city with over 1100 NPCs instead.

And that's just the stuff from this update.
Oblivion isn't enough? Morrowind just got a whole lot bigger, as community mega-mod Tamriel Rebuilt adds the sprawling metropolis of Narsis
Morrowind finally living up to its name, one expansion at a time.
