Working on a cute scene for Jessica and Kurt because they didn't really get one together yet, in which Kurt talks about why he became an orthopedic surgeon and the two of them talk about working out, then Jessica info dumps about teeth until unintentionally saying something completely inappropriate.

Do you want John Wick action, a unique noir visual style, a ride-or-die romance, and more empty shell casings than you can count? Rent-A-Thug - La Cosa Glasnostra only has a few days left on Kickstarter, and needs help hitting stretch goals! kck.st/3VKwykC

Back from work. Still have some migraine postdrome. Gonna cook supper, give the fish tank a partial water change, and collapse. But what I really want to do is comics.

Obviously we don't have 4th of July fireworks in Korea, but I wanted to mention this weird animal thing. Moopsy, my hamster, has no fear of thunder. Possibly she can't even hear it bc hamsters can't hear low frequencies. OTOH my plecos, Dora and Donut, freak out every time there's a thunderstorm.

Sophie Houlden has a selection of games at 70% off. The bundle price is worth it for Safecracking Simulator alone. Also, I hate to go all 90s on you but Sophie's Dice is possibly the most extreme dice rolling app ever created. itch.io/s/127519/sum...

Caves of Qud and the soundtrack for Caves of Qud are both on sale for 10% off. They'd be a bargain at 10% above normal price. They'd be a bargain if you had to travel to @unormal.bsky.social 's house and fold his laundry for an access key. itch.io/s/127053/sum...

Hey friends! Nicky is a cool, queer & disabled artist who could use our help. Buy her a kofi or three, or get a commission! (Also July is Disability Month, and last month was Pride Month—let’s show her the intersectional support she deserves!) 🙏✨ ko-fi.com/artofnickyro...
🚨emergency commissions🚨🗣️ i have a lot of money to rack up to cover 2 months rent & bills and my current work simply won't get me enough in time, so extra commissions are seriously a lifesaver!! setting up a log of commishes keeps me paid and busy and housed!! 💖
