Things have been crazy here this past week not just bc of normal life but because a long-standing, well-respected and ethical preservation breeder of borzoi, had a litter of ten (yes, TEN) puppies snatched from her yard. They're only 5 weeks, and unweaned. The community has been scrambling.

Please, ANYTHING is helpful here. The puppies are likely still local but could literally be anywhere by now. The owner, (Sandra Moore of Avalon Borzoi) is willing to BUY BACK her puppies. This is not a drill and not a joke. The puppies are too young to be without mom. We are all hurting about this.

Don’t know how to say it other than, creatives are currently enduring an Era of Punishment from rich people who just despise people with functioning brains.

I have a recurring nightmare where instead of being called platformers, they're all called Mariolikes. Maze games are Pac-Man likes. Action adventure is Zeldalikes. Mythlikes. OregonTraillikes. This is what it all sounds like. Do you hear yourselves yet.

I saw the term "metroidbrainia" for the first time today and I think I might need to shoot something in the face. What that something is, I'm not sure of yet, but something is gonna get it. Might even be a metroid.

Not an rpg but A finalfantasylike. Yeah did you check out the new game it's a DKlike. Check out this Kartlite. Pubglike. Dotalike. Doomclone. Roguelite. Soulslike. Metroidvania. I'm ripping my skin off and biting you biting you biting you.

Sorry I've been so quiet lately. October has been nearly non-stop busy for us. Every weekend has been a coursing weekend. Still two more weekends to go of this girl crying at the door every day to run. Field Champion, here we come 💪

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

Walking is harder. Getting up and down is harder. Her legs wobble. She's on pain medication for management. And yet she still goes out into the yard, full of joy, and does what she does best. 🥹❤️

The appeal went through! I got my email back! Which means i can do commissions again starting in October! :)

Laur Bagley@laur-rants.bsky.social

Awesome. No warning, no message no nothing, and Google has decided to lock me out of my work account. Told me I broke a policy rule and *I'M* the one who has to make an appeal. An email account I last used for work in JULY. are you joking me.

I've been working the last year on moving most of my accounts for work related (and commission related) things to my bagleyarts account, its where I speak to people for commission work, its where all of my emails for commission work come through bc it looks more professional. And now its just GONE?

Laur Bagley
@laur-rants.bsky.social

To say I'm beyond livid is an understatement. No, theres not much tied to that account, but also, WHY? I heard NOTHING about this at all. I just had to find out on my own. This is actually bullshit.

Hey so everyone knows this is cooking in the background and currently on schedule. :) Seeing how I do, I hope to keep it under 10k and out by Halloween.

Laur Bagley@laur-rants.bsky.social

What if I had an original short story about a werewolf protecting a remote northern port town, ready to go by Halloween or Christmas? What then???

"Steady the Sword" Cover art for my Dishonored au where a High Chaos Corvo comes into possession of the Twin-Bladed Knife. The story takes Corvo to Tyvia, then to Morley, where he finds out the Knife of Dunwall has been living as Wyman's bodyguard. Shenanigans and a terrorist attack ensue.
