someone in the UK threw eggs at Charles and was arrested and has been banned from openly carrying eggs in public and has since been sent death threats but their statement on the matter was so fucking good
What a lovely way to ring in SPOOKY MONTH (or shortly upcoming day, rather) and support an independent artist! And the comic itself is excellent; thank you so much for bringing us so much joy and a new reading tradition to enjoy each year, OP!
It’s that time of the year again! I have Scaredy Cat mini books on my website (heatherfranzen.com/shop)
Thank you to those who already ordered!!
Some TTRPG characters I've played:
The Masked Phantom, dhampir rogue
Grossk, lizardfolk fighter
Moxie Tripfoot, halfling waitress turned clerif of Tymora (the goddess of luck)
Jenny Bennet, human rogue consulting detective!
Ulara Berbisa, Yuan-ti cleric of Jazirian, the Totally-Not-Dead god of Couatls
Ryoko Musashi, tiefling assassin
Henry & Scooter, a halfling summoner and his eidolon (I reused a lot of elements of Henry's design for My Childhood Wonder Grew Up)
Junpei Den, the Crooked playbook from MOTW
Shaw Dreyfuss, a wayfarer/guardian/arcanist in Fabula Ultima (and also a big fish man with a shark for a head)
Sid, a black mage from Interstitial (a Kingdom Hearts-like PBtA game)
Also a bonus drawing of Tymora in the style of the gods I've drawn for Midgaheim:
I think Faerun's gods could use more stylized depictions than "a human with nice clothes," which seems to be what they usually get.
So, while I've talked about this in other posts, I figured I may as well compile it in one post with this nifty propaganda poster (more on that later)
Long story short, they're bringing back KOSA/the Kids Online Safety Act in the US Senate, and they're going to mark it up next Thursday as of the time of this post (4/23/2023).
If you don’t know, long story short KOSA is a bill that’s ostensibly one of those “Protect the Children” bills, but what it’s actually going to do is more or less require you to scan your fucking face every time you want to go on a website; or give away similarly privacy-violating information like your drivers’ license or credit card info.
Either that or force them to censor anything that could even remotely be considered not “kid friendly.” Not to mention fundies are openly saying they’re gonna use this to hurt trans kids. Which is, uh, real fucking bad.
As per usual, I urge you to contact your congresscritters, and especially those on the Commerce Committee, who'll likely be the ones marking it up.
Those senators are:
Maria Cantwell, Washington, Chair
Amy Klobuchar, Minnesota
Brian Schatz, Hawaii
Ed Markey, Massachusetts
Gary Peters, Michigan
Tammy Baldwin, Wisconsin
Tammy Duckworth, Illinois
Jon Tester, Montana
Kyrsten Sinema, Arizona
Jacky Rosen, Nevada
Ben Ray Luján, New Mexico
John Hickenlooper, Colorado
Raphael Warnock, Georgia
Peter Welch, Vermont
Ted Cruz, Texas, Ranking Member
John Thune, South Dakota
Roger Wicker, Mississippi
Deb Fischer, Nebraska
Jerry Moran, Kansas
Dan Sullivan, Alaska
Marsha Blackburn, Tennessee
Todd Young, Indiana
Ted Budd, North Carolina
Eric Schmitt, Missouri
J.D. Vance, Ohio
Shelley Moore Capito, West Virginia
Cynthia Lummis, Wyoming
Again, it doesn't work unless you do it en-masse, so make sure to call ASAP and tell them to kill this bill, and if they actually want a bill to allow/get sites to protect kids, the Federal Fair Access To Banking Act would be far better.
Also, this poster is officially, for the sake of spreading it, under a CC0 license. Feel free to spread it, remix it, add links to the bottom, edit it to be about the other bad internet bills they're pushing, use it as a meme format, do what you will but for gods' sake get the word out!
Also, shoutout to @o-hybridity for coming up with the slogan for the poster, couldn't have done it without 'em!

Hi my names tyler and i’m a black autistic trans guy with two cats attempting to escape an unsafe housing situation, my mother is verbally, financially, and physically abusive and has started making violent threats on my life as well as threats to make me homeless or harm my animals
It’s been so severe that im staying at my partners house currently to avoid her but I cannot stay here permanently and need secure housing so that my mother does not hurt me or my animals.
While I’m mostly looking for financial help to get an apartment if anyone knows people looking for roommates or with housing they can offer for rent in the areas around north philadelphia, lower bucks county PA, and burlington county NJ please feel free to reach out to me, id be able to afford up to 1k in rent and I am looking to move immediately, I have a secure job housing is the only issue.
If you could spread this i’d appreciate it greatly, my gofundme link has essentially all the same info so that can be spread alone if possible, I also have my links for venmo and paypal below if that’s easier to use, In addition I draw and can do kofi sketches for donations (examples of art here) I am incredibly desperate to move as none of my family members are offering adequate help regarding the situation so anything at all helps, thankyou for taking the time to read this
So, friend of the blog and excellent worldbuilder Lillian is in some major trouble, she's 500 dollars in debt and running out of money, so she's asking for donations.
If you can, maybe you could give her some, if you can't, please boost this still. Thank you.
