This is my favorite part of the process. It's detailed enough that I can start to get a real sense of the characters. I can now see what this book will be about. But I can also still (just barely!) hold the shape of the whole thing in my mind all at the once. #writing#outlining

Index cards on a corkboard, laying out the story for an in-development novel.

FYI: if you're friends with an author and you see their book at a store on clearance for $3, it is perfectly fine to just not tell them that.

Hey are any colorist pals available TODAY to help out on a pretty big licensed property cover I’m trying to get turned in by the end of day? PAYING GIG, already flatted and colors underway. I just can’t stay awake much longer and would LOVE a hand.

Yesterday I bought $50 of comics. Today I have no new comics to read. A tragedy in two acts.

Friends, a few weeks ago I said out loud that we might make it through the whole summer without a single day over 100, and I can never express just how sorry I am for that. I neither expect nor deserve forgiveness.

Feeling very lucky today to have built a life filled with so many excellent, talented, and creative people. In the last week I've gotten to celebrate with two friends the release of their books and received an anthology that more friends contributed to. Let me tell you about my awesome friends!

4 books splayed on a table. Mary Tyler Moorehawk, When I Was Young, You're the Problem It's You, and Luminous Beings.

Following the example of Daniel Quasar set with his Progress Pride Flag, I’m licensing the United Progress Pride Flag under Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0). I’ve also added shirts, stickers, and even ACTUAL FLAGS(!) to the Super Tree shop: www.etsy.com/shop/SuperTr... 2024. 35 stars to go.

Here's an item from the core #Pathfinder#DnD#TTRPG s have always been a space to explore and reflect who we are. The most basic rules of this system support playing a trans character on hormones. More of this, please and thank you.

An image of the description of a magic item from the Pathfinder 2e TTRPG, the Elixir of Gender Transformation.

"This clear, bitter liquid can be ingested to change certain secondary sex characteristics. Different formulations create different changes—for example, one variety might cause the voice to deepen and promote body and facial hair growth, while another might cause fat redistribution around the hips and the growth of breasts. These changes tend to be accompanied by shifting of the fat in the face, sometimes dramatically or sometimes more subtly changing the user’s appearance. Changes from this elixir take place gradually over the course of months or years, depending on the type.

The elixir must be taken every week, and changes occur over the course of a year or more."
