I draw gentlemen animals. I write sci-fi and fantasy. When I'm not preparing for the zombie apocalypse, I run DragonCrest Studios, 'cause it pays for kibble.

More photos to come, but here's my fav photo from the 2023 Chicago Steampunk Expo: a steampunk tonberry agreed to a doink! I missed their name, but if you're out there, magnificent tonberry, feel free to give a shout-out!

Delivery company is coming Friday to deliver my Very Expensive Couch. They've decided my name is "Jesscia Bares," which is a misspelling of BOTH my first and last names.

The #DnD crew has determined that this is better than my real name anyway.

Every time I tell my dad I'm going to come visit he always says, "You know Mom will love that!" Even though Mom spends 90% of my visits in her room and Dad and I usually game the whole time. 🤣

DM has decided he'd be one of those annoying tent doors that flops all over the place and never properly closes.

Current discussion at D&D is What Kind of Door Would You Be?

I'd be a red door.

We also have a "sighing door from Hitchhiker's Guide" and one of those fancy door with a long handle and inlaid glass.

What's your favorite comfort show?

I have a deep love of Columbo, even though it aired well before my time! I still watch it at least once a week.

I'm pretty sure your Monday needs a walking house.

I got you covered. ✨

PT office on the phone, filling out intake info: Oh, how did you hear about us?

Me, having no idea what their office name even is: I said I needed to see someone to my doc, they said they knew someone great, and then I waited and you called. True story.

Midjourney developers caught discussing laundering, and creating a database of Artists (who have been dehumanized to styles) to train Midjourney off of. This has been submitted into evidence for the lawsuit. Prompt engineers, your “skills” are not yours
