Watching a Led Zeppelin doc and I can’t help but feel a little grief for the creative future. It’s magical seeing people honing their skills, inspiring each other, adding their individual experiences to their craft and then working together to create something astounding. It’s so HUMAN & beautiful.

I just had a weird interaction with someone on here. They claimed they filed a report against my account mistaking it for someone else. Then they were asking for my discord or a way they can send me the “tickets”(??). Then they blocked me when I said I don’t need to see anything.

The "Aces & Aros" #Kickstarter reached it's conclusion last night, unlocking EVERY STRETCH AND BACKER GOAL WE SET! A huge thank you to our entire team behind the anthology, the Aspec community, and our Kickstarter backers for making this book possible! 🖤🩶🤍💜 💚💚🤍🩶🖤

I was able to do a little bit of drawing today! Woohoo #sketch #drawing #procreate

Last day to back this project! 💜🤍🩶🖤 Check out Aces and Aros: An Asexual and Aromantic Comic Book Anthology by Kat Calamia (Lifeline Comics) on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/com...

Help Aces & Aros reach $70K and our contributors will get ANOTHER bonus! bsky.app/profile/comi...

This news will likely effect licensing with small businesses going forward- so if you wanted any of my prints now is the time to grab them! Keep in mind I’m still recovering from major surgery so I’ll be a little slower packaging orders than usual.

I’ve been a bit quiet on here lately and that’s because I’ve been dealing with pain. Well I had a hysterectomy yesterday to handle pain I’ve been dealing with on and off for 23 years. :) I have a long recovery ahead and there will be delays in answering emails. Looking forward to the new me.

Went for a spontaneous walk today and saw some deer, hummingbirds and a bear. 💙

I’m very proud of this one!! :D

It's insulting to see fresh grad tech bros say artists have knee-jerk negative reactions to Gen AI. It's not knee-jerk. I've been a professional for 15 years. I've been thinking about copyright, usage rights, and consent before you could turn on a computer.

Hey folks! I know I've been radio silent with my lack of internet, but don't forget about the Aces and Aros anthology! We're less than 40 people away from 1k backers and I'd love to see that happen. You know you want to read My Accidental Succubus Girlfriend www.kickstarter.com/projects/com...

I love making extra goodies for backers. Here’s a Kickstarter tip. Throwing in stuff to unlock is great! But always keep in mind the added costs and how you’ll ship everything together. In this case I had to create stuff that will ship in a letter easily with bookmarks.

It’s amazing how his coloring has changed over the years.

Only $171 to our creator bonus Stretch Goal! Help chip in a few more bucks and get all of our creators a cash bonus! www.kickstarter.com/projects/com...

Six from The Knight and The Moth by Rachel Gillig. Going to be a while before I can finish this one up but I’m happy with the direction it’s going so far!

Today's bite-sized career advice: Be loud about what excites you and don't 'just hope' you'll get assigned the stuff you're enthusiastic about. Ask. Your career is not something that happens to you. You must be proactive!

SO CLOSE!

The Bluesky is dying discourse is so funny because all socials are dead to me.
