requiem for vanished birdsong
requiem for vanished birdsong
I haven't been able to hold down a traditional full-time on-site job since 2015.
Since 2015, I've:
β‘ Published 23 novels/novellas
β‘ Worked on five games that were critical and commercial hits
β‘ Worked on two unreleased titles
All because I've been able to work on a disability-friendly schedule
what if i were as powerless as i am now, but i was panicking way more???
Thank you! I love that you also do hononichi doodles, those squares are so satisfying to fill up!
Journal calendar view with 31 days of owl illustrations in black ink, written on the left side of the two-page spread along with a list of different owls for each day of the month. Each day in the calendar is filled with a drawing of a owl or vulture.
January was a hard month but I'm still having fun doing my monthly daily little drawings and these owls were fun to do! I switched over my journal this year from an a6 hobonichi techo to a midori hibino so the squares are a little different and smaller :O
Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

I donβt want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed.
Here are the words she left behind:

Hey friends, you donβt have to produce any kind of thing or object or media to be a part of a group of friends. Just being alive is enough. I love you,
The two inevitable technologies that VC ends up reinventing are phrenology and the bus.

I've been quietly doing cozy nestober prompts for this year's daily October drawings www.instagram.com/hello.nestob... The first two are "nest" and "tea" - my favourite things in the fall weather! This year i'm focused on making little scenes.

Calling for an end to illegal settlements is not controversial

Condemning the murder of journalists, doctors, and children is not controversial
Calling for an arms embargo is not controversial
Not to make light of the horrible rude things people have said to me about my other identities but sometimes people say the weirdest things when they find out Iβm vegetarian

Mock up of a calendar page for June 2026, as part of The Washi Station's upcoming 2026 RISO-printed calendar "FLORA & FAUNA". The top part features an illustration of a ripening tomato branch, its fruits ranging in color from green to red. Three small bunnies also hang onto the plant, seemingly checking the fruits. The bottom part shows the month name, dates, and a note section decorated with a small drawing of a chunky caterpillar sitting happily on a tomato leaf.
