Well then. You all were very keen on the mouse witch so perhaps you will also enjoy a rabbit witch.
Yes, those are hops.
No, I'm not sorry.

The Scottish Comics itch.io Bundle is open for submissions! MORE INFO BELOW

Are you a comic creator living in Scotland? Submit your comic to be part of the Scottish Comics Itch Bundle! How does it work? All the comics will be part of a big downloadable bundle for sale on itch.io. 25% of profits will be given to PCRF or another charity supporting Palestine. The remaining profits will be split equally between all participants. Your cut is sent to your account automatically; it doesn't come through the organisers at all. Who can take part? Any comic creators who live in Scotland! If you live in Scotland but you aren't Scottish, you can still take part. If you are Scottish but you don't live in Scotland, you can't take part. What should I submit? Submit your favourite comic that you've done! You can only submit one comic. Please do not submit text-only zines.

Is this bundle curated? This bundle is only lightly curated, which means we're checking for racist, transphobic, homophobic, misogynistic, or otherwise hateful content. We want to celebrate as many comic creators in Scotland as we can, so this bundle is not otherwise curated and your submission will only be rejected if the file quality is unusually low. What is the timeline? Submissions are open until March 31st. If your comic is approved, you will hear back by April 30th. The bundle will go live in June! I have another question. This bundle is organised by Letty, Pj, and Eve. Email us or reply to this post (no DMs please!).

We're already getting some v exciting submissions! Make sure and submit your comic, Scottish creators!

This bundle is organised by myself, @evegwood.com and @peejalien.bsky.social !

Two cats are laying on a blue cushion. The black cat, Fester, is to the right. He is not looking at the camera. The other cat, Serosh, has a front leg slung over Fester. Serosh, who us a brown and gray tabby, looks up at the camera with an expression that seems to read "Dis my brother" in regards to Fester.

I don't know if what I use as a weird crutch will help. my brain is sleepy, so it's hard to put into words. I will definitely come back. You've been dealing with a lot of hard stuff on top of the wonky things some brains tend to do...

For now, I hope this cat pic helps! You are a wonderful human ❤️

I really liked this book. @keandrewsauthor.bsky.social you wrote a good one

Y'all should give it a read

So, it's super targeted towards one of my favorite organizations, @sdtransformproj.bsky.social and @transadvocacysd.bsky.social , their advocacy half.

I actually don't know if they receive public funds (basically state money), but still. Just wow.

I hate this. I hate it so much.

My day wasn't that bad, actually.

Until HB 1184 passed the SD senate.

It's now on the governor's desk. So, that feels soooooo hopeful. Not.

HB1184 legally defines what a "man" and "woman" are. It also restricts public funds from going to organizations that defy the gender binary the bill defines.

Still booking for the summer!

I received some amazing feedback this week as well 🥰

What others have said about working with me:

"The experience gave me a pulse check on my story and a final polish that left the text glimmering. Steph helped me cut the clutter without losing my voice."

Woohoo! Go you!

I might have to check this out. Marketing my books isn't really my thing.

Ugh.

*insert the biggest eye roll ever mustered*

They just really can't find anything better to write about, huh? Articles like that just make me think that the writer is pathetic, petty, and boring.

Holy heck. I'll send so many good vibes. Good luck!

I have been weird about 1st person, but then I read first person books that I really liked.

I also wrote fanfic in 1st and 2nd person aaaaall the time, though. So, it might be a shame thing.

I do love good 2nd person. The Choose Your Own Adventure books slap. And they’re 2nd person, generally.

Yeeeeeah...they certainly can be. If I didn't use different devices when I'm at different places, I could definitely use a not cloud based things. But nooooo. I insist to do the thing everywhere.

I also have notebooks with me for when I need them. I use those mostly for poetry or parsing out ideas

Same! If I can see someone with a similar body as breathtakingly gorgeous, why can't I think the same for myself?

At least I'm getting better at body neutrality when I don't feel positive.

Would anyone who does game art professionally be willing to talk with me about pricing? I need to make a price table and my last one for game art is seven years out of date.

Ellipsus always has trouble connecting to their servers during my lunch break (and my writing time).

It makes me feel big sad 😔

I don't know what they're latest stuff Disney/Pixar BS is, but I don't doubt it either.

I'm guessing it has to due to that new movie, Hoppers?

Revisiting this due to Disney/Pixar's latest homophobic bullshit.

Very good thread! The last line sums up how I approach reviews (especially when reviewing indie things): "if I can't help you, then I at least won't hurt you"

Or something like that. Kind of paraphrasing because a lot of things have been sliding out of my brain like melting Kraft singles.

Tom is such a bombastic artist!

This is almost too much fun to count as work, really.
Also *dear gods* you are going to love this book!

Anyway I'm not saying publishing is giving me brain damage or acting but I did just wake up weakly screaming because I dreamt there was a guy who was filling in Darkwing Duck colouring books (with Crayola markers) and selling them as "original stories" and he had made ten million dollars
