I did it! I managed to get this week's free post up on Patreon! It's Sunday morning, but we can all pretend it's Friday for long enough to read this, right?

Check this post out if you want to see a cosplay makeup test, some sketchbook practice, and a roundup of what media I've been into lately!

I've also got an update on my 2024 pledge drive:

Please ignore this ask if it's too much work but I don't know how else to work it out so I figured I'd ask.

You posted about Nope (the movie) and we've been wanting to watch it but my wife has photosensitivity issues and I'm having trouble finding info about the flashing in it, how bad it is and when exactly it happens. Do you by any chance know of someone who has compiled that or remember from a recent rewatch? My best source so far is doesthedogdie and that's still pretty vague and comments don't all agree.

There is a scene that takes place during a storm and has some strong lightning flicker effects. I tried to find the specific timestamps but couldn't see them listed anywhere--it happens midway through the movie, after the scene where the character Jupe puts on his big show for the audience at the Star Lasso Experience. The clip on YouTube is about 5 minutes long, but if I remember correctly, it lasts a little longer than that in the full film.

I can't remember if there's anything else, but that was the big one that came to mind!

Want to read a short story about a nonbinary autistic ship captain and a mysterious magical passenger?

In THE QUEEN OF CUPS by Ren Basel (that's me!), a mysterious woman known only as The Oracle resides on the seashore, blessing ships and telling fortunes for those who can pay her price. For new-made ship captain Theo Marinos, the price is higher than it first seems.

If Theo has any hope of surviving their ship’s first voyage, they must trust not just in The Oracle, but in themself–for the journey is long, and the ocean’s tests are many.

Brother Gregor never spoke and often spooked the neophytes with his appearance, but he was a gentle soul and a phenomenal cook and knew more ways to prepare a fish than the abbot knew hymns

Hi there! I was wondering: on the Libby app, there's the option on books you don't have yet to get notified if that book is ever added to the catalogue. When we hit that button, do you all get to see that as a way for us to "request" a book? Or should we still send in a formal request for the books through the form on your website?

This sounds so confusing, hopefully you understand what I'm trying to ask, but if not just say so and I'll try to explain more!

Thanks so much for all you do 🩷💞

We see those notify me tags! it definitely functions pretty similarly to the request form in the way of ‘someone wants us to have this in the library’ so we should put consider adding it to our wishlists.

one of the reasons we have the request form to start with is that we were asking people what they were interested in before we really launched - so before we we on Libby. now that we are, the notify me tags are pretty convenient in that they show us all at once how many people are interested in certain titles.

the only reason you’d really need/want to fill out the request form as well is if you have something you really want to say to add context to that request. for example, we’ve had authors say ’this is my book!’ but otherwise you really don’t have to do both.

Obviously you shouldn't write in library books or books that you otherwise don't own, but I never understood the "oh my god, don't write in, highlight, fold, or dog-ear any pages in your books, ever, or you're defacing them" mindset.

One of my favorite things in the world is borrowing paperbacks from my wife's collection and seeing all her little annotations. Notes in the margins of used university textbooks have helped me understand complex passages, and given me a connection to students struggling to understand the same things I did. Highlights in novels from the used bookstore have made me stop and really appreciate a passage I might have otherwise glossed right over. Marginalia and annotations in historical texts are a goldmine of information and humanity.

What people prefer for their personal collection is totally valid, but I hate how writing in books gets treated like inherent vandalism. It's just another one of those ways the physical paper of the book gets held as more sacred than the information and the connections made with the book's contents.

Why do you believe that people have such fragile morals they will be corrupted by a piece of fiction?

Are your morals that fragile?

Why do you believe that reading fiction about harm will cause the people who read it to do harm?

Are you that easily willing to harm people?

Why do you believe that writing or reading nasty fiction will cause people to think that it's alright to hurt and abuse people?

Are you that easily corrupted and changed by fiction?

Why are you worrying that reading fiction will change a person's morality like some kind of evil spell?

👉 You sound like a baptist preacher claiming Pokemon will make children worship the devil.

👉 You sound like a Victorian phrenologist claiming that reading novels will cause women to lose their virtue.

I have a Secret Side Project that I haven't even told my Patreon backers about yet, because it's an "as I have time and energy, will probably not be finished any time soon" sort of project, but aaaaa I'm excited about it!!!!!

#the only hint I will give is that it involves animation history #original post

I'm not "fucking off and playing Mario Kart," I'm taking my union-mandated break, god damn it.

The fastest way to shut down my "freelance life means I have to constantly be working" thoughts is to remind myself that if I was a boss holding a worker to the standards I hold myself to, their union would hunt me for sport and nobody would blame them.
