If you live in Austin, Texas or it’s surrounding areas please do not open any packages that you are not expecting. Do not even touch them.

If you did not order anything and nobody else did. Or if the package seems to be odd. Call your local police department and report that there is a unidentified package at your home and ask for assistance with it.

There have been 3 package bombings in Austin so far. One on March 3rd and two of them today(3/12/18). There are 3 reported deaths and one injury. These bombs are detonated via movement and opening and were believed to be placed at night.

Due to the fact that all 3 houses that were targeted were people of color (first two victims were black and the third was latinx) it is possible that this could be the results of a hate crime, however the reasons and culprits have not yet been found.

When someone disagrees with you online and demands you prove your point to their satisfaction by writing a complete and logically sound defense including citations, you can save a lot of time by not doing that.

Bro, I’ve known you for twelve seconds and enjoyed none of them, I’m not taking homework assignments from you.

I was watching Pokémon: Indigo League on Netflix and the Pokédex called Kakuna a “transitional Pokémon”

and then suddenly this happened

so this post is officially 4 years old today. it’s far and away my most popular drawing, so much so that even now, it gets tons of notes and reblogs every day. i appreciate that! it’s exciting and I’m glad so many people like my idea and designs. as a trans person myself, seeing other people commenting on which Evolution they’re at and how much they identify with my designs makes me feel amazing! i feel like i’m giving back to my community and really helping people.

the problem however is that because of its popularity, this is also my most stolen and reposted work. i’ve seen my signature erased or cropped out more times than I can count, everywhere from Facebook to Twitter to Reddit to Instagram. recently people have started editing the picture for phone backgrounds and lockscreens, which I don’t support at all. i would’ve been happy to design custom lockscreens for these people, as I am a commission artist, but it’s easier for people to just photoshop my art. I can’t stop that.

it does hurt though.

so i just want to ask, if you like this work, if you’ve seen it floating around out there without credit to me, if it means something to you… consider buying me a Ko-Fi? i’d really appreciate it.

Library project

I have been asked to do an art display for my local library at the same time as our town is having a book festival

I need some great poignant/hilarious short quotes from my favourite urban fantasy so if anyone has any suggestions for

Dresden files

Rivers of London

Iron Druid Cheonicles

Please let me know

Hi!  It’s awesome that you’re creating a display honoring the urban fantasy genre–I love all the authors you mentioned.  However, I should point out that women write the majority of urban fantasy, but these four men seem to get the majority of the attention whenever the genre is mentioned.  It’s bizarre.  If your library is anything like mine, you’re sure to have a richly diverse group of patrons, and seeing themselves represented might inspire them to discover a new genre and all the amazing authors therein.

To get you started, some of the most popular female UF authors include Seanan McGuire, Patricia Briggs, Ilona Andrews, Annie Bellet, P.N. Elrod, Anne Bishop, Faith Hunter, and of course Charlaine Harris. Why not swap one of the guys out, or add one of these women to the mix? Additionally, an urban fantasy author of color like Daniel Jose Older, Nalo Hopkinson, or Maurice Broaddus would be a fantastic inclusion.  

Best of luck with your display! I hope you get some wonderful submissions and you inspire more people to read!
