Happy Trans Day of Visibility! I'm Samantha, and I've been blogging about media for a decade now. I focus on demystifying criticism through pop culture, so if concepts like death of the author leave you scratching your head, or you're looking to broaden your artistic horizons, check me out #tdov

here's a survey about trans migration to Seattle and the greater seattle area that's probably worth your time to fill out seattlemigration.org

hi it's my birthday and i was looking for something indulgent to play then i spent all weekend routing a new speedrun to an underappreciated game this year that i fuckin loved and nobody played. gonna try it out! and also PUPPYTRUCK DEMO come watch! www.bimbo.city

all this week i've been running NEXT FEST BINGO, a fun way of finding new demos and doing silly challenges in games But I can only run so many games a week. so if YOU'D like to run your own next fest bingo, here's how! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I'm quite proud of this, there was a *saga* in getting it completed ; nearly a year of maddening setbacks and unexpected obstacles . It being done was like a curse being ended, and im so happy for the good reception its received right out the gate

#helpsky #mutualaid Hi everyone! It says it right there on the tin. I'm unemployed and therefore don't have an income. I have all of my belongings and am in a safe place in my sister's apartment right now, but I'm left with little options to keep afloat financially. My Ko-fi will be in the replies

jacking off to lesbian porn, due to being a lesbian, but shaking my head the whole time so everyone knows that I disapprove of it having a male fan base

It's the last day (that i'm hosting) of next fest bingo!!! got two more matches today which i'm REAL excited for come watch!!! www.bimbo.city

can't make it today? why not run your own bingo! docs.google.com/document/d/1... here''s how!

pornhub, etc, are also not on this list so it seems like the problem really isn't the content per se, it's charging for it. at some point it's hard to escape the conclusion that the animus here is towards the idea of women withholding their sexual availability.

aaron trying to protect himself from more "misclicks" I suppose

"tapas is shutting down but you can follow me on fanon!" well, they don't have rss feeds, so, no, no I can't, sorry, I am not going to read your comic anymore.

you know, having just spent several weeks laboriously creating a comic that imo much more wittily and creatively expresses some of this basic stuff (also without sucking up to Mark Fucking Cuban of all people), all for free, all because I think it *matters*, this feels personally really insulting.

if you're sick of squinting suspiciously at art for AI tells, give your brain a break with my second big comic making process breakdown. featuring a ruler, and Ames lettering guide, new advances in Autistic Project Management, and more jokes about goth music, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Bill Clinton.

got a new take on a familiar comic project up on Patreon, with a ton of behind the scenes stuff about the new process I developed for this and a preview of the second half it's such a stupid cliche... "vampire moves to Seattle for the cloudy weather"...

If there's one lesson I've learned from Shot and Chaser it's that if you're feeling bad, well, just bottle those feelings up, especially any feelings you might have about the early Covid pandemic! Another deep dive on virtuosic character drama and how it's told in panels #comic #webcomic

it's a good day to learn about RSS

same old story, pardner

jazzed about Teenage Sex and Death but underwhelmed by letterboxd rec lists that don't scratch that Camp Miasma itch? I've put together a bunch of films that I GUARANTEE you won't see recommended anywhere else. #horror #movies #queer

here's a little preview snippet that patreon hasn't compressed into oblivion for some reason

back from two sets of trans short films (a general showcase and an animation showcase) and jotted down some thoughts on masto about "indie animation" and the weird wall between festival circuit indie and big youtube marketing push indie and a bunch of other stuff besides slime.global/@samkeeper/1...

and yet literally everyone in the arts in seattle will still immediately ask you for your instagram, and will continue doing so till we're all irradiated ash. I really, really fucking hate how baked into creative spaces zuckerberg's holdings are, seemingly totally uncritically

you gotta follow me on mastodon gang.

Autumn is the perfect time for change, right? Buy a candy, get a random TF effect. Buy more, see what combination you end up with. Changed some stuff around this year to make it a bit more customizable without taking away that random element. See the form for full details: forms.gle/Kr9AYqBqhjJt...

For anyone not aware, steam next fest bingo is a lockout bingo competition where both players compete at arbitrary random goals like "open a treasure chest" or "take 40 damage" or "fall in love" however they can only accomplish those goals in games IN DEMOS IN THE STEAM NEXT FEST

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN next week me and @karmadragoness.bsky.social will be competing and hosting matches of STEAM NEXT FEST BINGO the game you can only play once. until the next steam next fest IT'S GONNA BE FUCKIN AWESOME. dm me if you'd like to join!!!

i just got back from an awesome trip to montreal and ate a bunch of great food there and saw bugs and itw as awesome and you know what that means i'm BROKE time for a no money mondays stream. all free games that you can grab now. come watch!! www.bimbo.city

it's always so annoying when wikipedia has a "stylized as" thing after their version of a title. no, YOU have stylized the title to fit YOUR style guide. that second thing you're listing is The Correct Title, which YOU have elected to ignore.

Comic tip for artists who struggle with layouts or making each page not so same-y: be less literal about where your characters are sometimes. Become more artsy with emotions they feel or information they share, you don't need them standing in the same room/position like a scene from a movie

THIS WEEK ON LET'S TALK ABOUT STUFF: we're watching Freckled Max and the Spooks! it's a cute horror-romance about a boy who escapes the circus to become the latest resident of Castle Frankenstein alongside the likes of Dracula, Elizabeth Bathory, and the iconic Monster himself... Albert Einstein??

"mayhaps the reason giant corporate social media is hellish is because Man is Plagued by Original Sin" that's cool Hobbes, I'm having a great time on the small mastodon instance my friend runs from her apartment a few blocks from me. today we picked blueberries in a municipal park, it was great!

you can follow me through fediverse sites now, and probably should! #mastodon #fediverse #decentralized

offered what I think is a pretty good explanation if you're still confused about whether you need to have multiple mastodon accounts, how to find the stuff you want to follow, stuff that can be confusing about the fediverse basically

i'm on mastodon at hthrflwrs@peoplemaking.games btw

Its STILL NETRUNNER WORLDS im STILL STREAMING you can COME WATCH at twitch.tv/nullsignalne...
