Like now that I am awake I need to reiterate how huge this is. It was presumed harvested to extinction by the Romans. It was a favorite flavoring and according to historians one of the best contraceptives ever known. True or not it would be fantastic to study that but it being extinct made that impossible.
This is such a huge deal! I hope they get it figured how to grow it.
I feel like Samus Aran, when she’s not on a mission, would have a Tony Hawk type experience with people not recognizing her without her armor. Like she’d get carded buying alcohol or something and the cashier would go “Samus Aran? Ha, it’s spelled just like the bounty hunter too. I wonder what he’s up to now?”
She would definitely take advantage of this when she goes to lesbian bars and stuff. She’d just tell the cute alien girls her name is Sammy because if they knew she was the great Samus Aran they’d expect her to top
I originally put a shortened version of this in the tags but I feel it’s worth adding. Imagine being the alien girl at a lesbian bar on a federation space station. You meets this cute tall human girl who calls herself Sammy and you hit it off and share some drinks and eventually Sammy invites her back to her place. Her place is a space ship that you swear looks familiar but you can’t remember where you’ve seen it. Anyway you disregard it and spend the night fucking the brains out of this buff blonde tgirl. Then in the morning when you go to leave you make a wrong turn and catch a glimpse of the power armor belonging to the bounty hunter known across the galaxy. Imagine the realization that this “Sammy” girl you plowed into the mattress last night is singhandedly responsible for saving the universe multiple times
Twitter seems to be going through the forum-admin-meltdown stage of its life cycle at the moment, with absurd TOS changes and threatening to ban people posting links to other websites - because that’s a reasonable thing to do on the internet, which consists mostly of URLs pointing at other URLs.
Tumblr is not yet on the bannable list, which is good - but a lot of other stuff IS. So in the event that you’ve followed me here from Twitter, and you’re wondering where ELSE I am on this godforsaken web of sites, here is a handy list!
Patreon Where I post most of my WIPs, sketches, sneak peeks at future projects and some exclusive stuff made just for the people who make sure to keep my lights on. I appreciate any and all pennies you can spare in this economy, but hitting the subscribe-button will get you emails about my public posts.
Mastodon More like Twitter in size and manner, but a lot less algorithm-rotted. The .art instance I’m on currently has a bit of a digital fence up against .social, the biggest and least moderated instance - but you should be able to put in a follow-request regardless.
Itchio Did you know I make tabletop rpgs? well I make tabletop rpgs, and you can buy them if you want. You can also get some of them for free! Itchio has implemented a blogpost/newsletter style function recently - I’ll likely use it to share updates on ttrpg projects
Artstation My portfolio-site until further notice. Fingers crossed they will eventually come to their senses and take a more hardline stance against AI art.
Cohost It’s a bit like this place? Only different. I haven’t posted much yet, because I only have so many spoons, but follow me there for my hot takes on straw goat-burning and occasional bits of art I guess.
Pillowfort Another one I have yet to post much on, but I will get it up and running eventually, I suppose.
Twitter is circling ever closer to the drain, so this is your reminder that I can also be found elsewhere.
Most of the above links are relevant - although both Cohost and Pillowfort are very much placeholders for now. I’ve got the accounts, but I don’t really post there.
Your best bets for keeping up with what I do is this place, Mastodon, and my Bluesky account:
I post all new art here, on Mastodon and on Bluesky, but Patreon gets the sneak peeks at stuff I’m working on before everyone else, and it’s also a handy way to ensure that I, y'know, keep making stuff at all. The 2020-2023 stretch of human existance has been really damned hard for freelance artists, and ANY support is highly appreciated - especially when one of the largest social networks on the internet keeps crumbling like a rancid cookie.
So thank you for being here with me. Please follow the arrows towards the emergency exits if you, like me, still open Twitter on occasion.
