Back from Megaplex and Artist Alley


Megaplex is done! I had a wonderful time last weekend, with so many new folks, new conversations, and new experiences!

I’ll write up more of a post, but I just finished editing photos from the event, finding some of my favorites and cropping them a bit more aesthetically. For now, here’s some of my favorite pics from the event!

One of the things that was a wonderful surprise for me was how I did at Artist Alley! I had been preparing so many things for my shop, Barks’ Cafe, and much of that was because I talked myself into booking slots there to sell my merch. I think that I needed that push to get as much done as I did.

I sold a fair amount of stickers and buttons, and I was so thankful that people stopped by my table at all that most everyone was getting several freebies to go along with their purchases. This is the first time that I’ve ever done this, and I’ve already got notes for how I’ll make it better in the future.

See you next year, Megaplex!

We should really do more to stop private corporations from heavily overcharging for life saving medication.

Ten years since Bojack Horseman started. A show that had a huge affect on my life

It’s pretty funny that the “black swan event” of a superyacht getting sunk did it to a yacht named for the mathematician whose work is basically, “when things happen, they’re likely to happen again”

Oh good, I almost had a chance to forget about this terrible company.

non-violent acts of protest are not worse than a few corporations killing the planet for all of us.

anti-trans people would be stupid and exhausting if they weren’t so dangerous

I both want to have more notoriety online, but also know that it just leads people to make up lots of stories about you. I already get enough of that as a tiny creator.

I love that SilverEagle is doing videos and blog posts now! This is an essay by someone who very clearly has thought hard about this topic and actually put in the work to solve some problems.

This is a presentation from a decade ago, and it still feels important and relevant now
