Oct. 9th, 2024 02:24 pmhello reader...s? ha
it's the most chilling month of all, and my fav holiday coming up to boot. so i thought i should update this month with some reccomendations of things i've been into. or mini reviews. i'm an expert at tl,dr if the backerkit for arc 5 wasn't obvious.
(speaking of the arc 5 printing backerkit, it's in the final two weeks! backers at the 25$ or above level now also all get a set of pins, a sticker sheet, prints, a zine, and a final secret surprise added to their orders. so if you're an inhuman diehard, check it out asap before its gone!)
anyway.
( enter for some horrific holiday reccomendations! )
it's also a good time of year for me to promote the horror bundles on itchio that im in!! firstly there's the Queer Halloween Stories bundle which has over 90 games, 12 comics, zines and more in it! there's two payment options - Fright (60$) and Treat (10$).
the second is the all-comics Halloween Horrors Bundle for 35$ put together by members of the Cartoonists Coop! there's 50 comics in it, so that's a great deal. it makes me wish i had more spare time to read them all. but... gotta make that dollar.
speaking of making that dollar - i dusted off my patreon to mirror my Kofi, in the event that it's just easier to support via patreon for some folk. i'm still not a fan of the platform in general - kofi is /way/ more reliably functional. but yeap, folks can reserve monthly art commission slots on either one once more. also backing either one will give you access to the discord chat!
this month's sticker club sticker tho. get it exclusively thru kofi!
i personally prefer kofi for a variety of reasons, one of which is i can set up little galleries and post my october daily draws there for everyone to enjoy. this year i'm doing bug pokemon. just bug trainer brain, baby.
i also did a little bit of fussing around with the layout of demon-sushi.com, including the start of a classic 88x31 pixel banner button wall. if you've got a website and a button for it in that size, let me know and i'll add you to the list! the reasoning behind that size is very 1990s, because a popular web host (geocities) used to self promote with a button of those dimensions, and it sort of took off as a "professional" way to link back in the day to design yours in that same fashion. i'm really enjoying the rebirth of personal websites tbh. keep it up!!
i'm struggling quite a bit with fatigue after the last bout of covid (even though it wasnt symptomatic, it really clearly got to me if im falling asleep at 2pm randomly) but i'm slowly starting to get a sense of my own working capabilities /again/ and looking for part time work via my little scooter Red. so far, no luck. so online supporters really are important right now.
i haven't got a chance to set up halloween decorations yet, but i think this year's theme is going to be skeleton at the beach.
stay safe if you're in the southern US during this storm season, please. and if you're in the middle east, know that the jewish diasphora across the world is disgusted at what israel is doing. they are no different than nazis in their campaign of empire expansion and genocide and it's beyond shocking. i know they've been like this since before i was born, but holy fucking shit. i personally don't have resources to give, but i think its important other readers know gofundme campaigns for people in gaza are being very carefully vetted and you can rest assured they are all legitimate. you can also buy Esim cards to allow gazans to remain connected with the outside world. please help if at all possible.
and to my fellow americans - please vote. remember that this is less about finding a perfect immediate fix to our problems and more about selecting the terrain on which we will fight to solve our problems for the next four years. to abstain from voting shows a degree of self involved white moderate liberalism & privilege that i really and truly can not understand.
hang in there, friends. i'm thinking about trying to write more often. i've fallen off of it in the last 15 years as it was one of the very early complaints my stalkers made about me and i foolishly hoped it would placate them. but fuck those assholes. die mad about it.
time for me to finish this cup of coffee, this blog entry, and draw a shuckle.
love you, gracious and faithful readers. i hope more treats than tricks await you this month.
