#drawing today, adventurer with real tight pants, cut and thrust sword, and awesome boots surprised by a small horde of zombies. #uhhhh #uuuuh #braaains

'tis the same old theme since 1916, ye thievin' little bastards be after me Lucky Chairms!

Not hot, just a weird D&D take; although I obviously love art by greats like Tony Diterlizzi, Larry Elmore, Brom, Wayne Reynolds, Eva Widermann and many more, I still think 4e was the best edition art-wise partly thanks to the work of Francis Tsai and William O’Connor, who sadly passed away before they could make 5e awesomer.

There’s an East African monster which has nine buttocks. This has nothing to do with anything else it does (lures children to eat with light from its mouth, standard “don’t run off!” folklore). Just at some point some storyteller thought nine buttocks was hilarious and it stuck.

Would you believe that’s actually a subtweet?

fuck yes new music! I got "Head of NASA and the Two Amish Boys," "Seventeen Seconds" and the best Meat Puppets track *and* the best country song ever!

Only one #drawing today, dwarves charge out of their mountain stronghold against their besiegers.

USUL HAS CALLED A BIG ONE. AGAIN, IT IS THE LEGEND.
*huge bong rip*

USUL, HERE ARE FIFTEEN OF OUR GNARLIEST GROMS. THE FEDAYKIN.

“Barney the purple dinosaur is back and he’s got a new look” wait you mean like Big Bird only they fixed his arms?

Like… Computer anything always has this aspect for me of “this is tremendously useful and innovative AND means someone else are the wanted valued people with all the perks huge incomes provide, like literal safety” (a huge personal button from elitism in childhood schools, which remained difficult during the dot boom etc). With AI art there isn’t the aspect of “tremendously useful” and I’m right back to my angriest, pettiest resentment of the tech sector.

As a non techie and former NorCal resident I already associate the tech sector with skyrocketing housing costs, sidewalks blocked by rentable scooters, union busting gigs in place of cabs, the potential danger of self driving vehicles. I was okay curating email datasets for a sales AI intended to aid existing sales people by sorting email. Creating AI “art” intended to not aid but replace, which targets skills I actually wish I could use and veers into art theft, manages to trigger all the rage.

I feel this is because the right needs a distraction and scapegoat they can name openly and while it’s pretty obvious who they’re attacking when they talk about “woke,” “groomer” or “globalists,” trans folks are the last group they can go after without needing a little historical-semantic dance.

Honestly transphobia is a dead end; transness is almost completely inwardly directed. There are no restitutions, no disputed land, nearly no revisions to history textbooks, no dying language, no holiday outside of acknowledgment at Pride, practically no old harmful stereotypes. Literally the biggest thing you need to do to honor trans people is adapt to using unfamiliar pronouns and names. And yet here we are and it’s a huge fuss.

that famous Neapolitan song about diatoms, “Naviculi Navicula”

Re last boost for @troodon who’s like the only Kemetic I know these days, how’d that happen?

Okay. Accidentally carefully set my 1030 alarm and woke up at 0736. Scrambled to work despite construction, garbage trucks and buses and just red lights, opened the place, worked on critical issues and checked email. Now I just need to wait for coworkers.

Just one tightened #drawing today, wizard takes on a hill giant or ogre cook in her kitchen!
