Mal Makes Things!

I make things! And stuff. 34, transmasc artist buy my art on Redbubble or support me on my ko-fi!

[maledictionwolf]

Anyone want to buy some cool mini sketchbooks? I have ones with tarot card covers, mtg card covers, fancy design playing card covers, and hand-illustrated covers up for sale on eBay! All set up as "fixed price listings" meaning no need to fuck around with placing bids, you can just buy them. But if you want a discount, you can use the "send offer" button to suggest a price :)

Some examples of what's for sale:

Tarot card, playing card, and mtg card are all 50 pages, the others you'll need to check the listing. Generally, the lower the price, the less pages there are.

Oh, and there's also handmade jewelry that's pretty cheap because I need it gone.

(There's also a few random items in there, just stuff in trying to sell).

(I don't use Etsy because I've spent years paying them for the privilege of selling nothing. Ebay at least doesn't charge you if an item doesn't sell.)

"Rationalism" is up there with "Objectivism" in terms of "definitionally funny things to call your own belief system".

[aokozaki]

"Yeah man I've been doing some thinking and philosophy and I've come up with a framework called Being Right"

[charlesoberonn]

Check out my new philosophy called Correctism. It includes all of the correct and true ideas and rejects the wrong ones.

[maledictionwolf]

Apparently Objectivism was originally supposed to be called Existentialism, because things exist the way they are, but that name was already taken and Rand was not happy about it.

Hey, so I'm starting a zine.

[your-dewey-decimal-number-is]

I've wanted to get into indie publishing since I was in high school, and after years of dragging my feet and putting off my creative projects I've finally decided to stand up and commit. I got a PO Box for subscriptions and submissions, I got a laser printer to make it, I just posted a sample issue on my main blog to gauge people's interest, it's all ready to go into full production later this month.

[your-dewey-decimal-number-is]

It's about science and history and art and animals!

[your-dewey-decimal-number-is]

I have a sinking suspicion that the social internet is going to become hostile to the point of uselessness within the next three years as tech giants and polticians consolidate power and tighten their grip on our private data, so my resolution in 2026 is to unplug as much as possible. I've already begun reducing my screentime, and this zine is the perfect creative outlet to help me regrow my offline attention span.

[your-dewey-decimal-number-is]

It's called The Some Times, after an old newspaper parody blog I tried to start back in 22 or 23, and it's free to whoever wants to subscribe. All you gotta do is mail a letter to

The Some Times PO Box 420 Taverner, FL 33070

Yes, box #420. I didn't ask for that, it's just what the Post Office randomly assigned me, and I'm taking it as a sign of good luck.

[your-dewey-decimal-number-is]

New issues will be printed on the 13th of every month (January's may be a little belated as I work through the startup kinks), and will be mailed out to subscribers the following week.

If this sounds up your alley, if you would like to be part of a budding offline community and receive monthly updates on astronomy, cartography, conlangs, local South Florida wildlife, and even more Dewey Decimal classifications, then sign up today!

More into in the linked post.

Spread the word!

[your-dewey-decimal-number-is]

Here's Issue 0 in it's entirety

Slight formatting error with the page number header, and the images are a bit too dark (still figuring out the settings on my printer), but other than that I'm really proud of the final product.

Let me know what you all think!

[your-dewey-decimal-number-is]

@italwaysdoes good news, I bought some international stamps and now the Some Times is open to readers around the world!

Honestly “thanks I hate it” is one of the funniest phrases in the English language

As more and more people are being forced to switch to Windows 11, Microsoft's most AI-malware-ridden OS yet, I've been putting together articles and links for how to undo the damage and save your battery, your RAM, your disk space, your privacy, and your sanity from this bullshit.

FIRST:

The easiest way to get rid of the majority of the bullshit that Windows is forcing on us, as of October 2025, is this one-stop-one-click debloat solution from a modern day hero:

GitHub - Raphire/Win11Debloat: A simple, lightweight PowerShell script to remove pre-installed apps, disable telemetry, as well as perform v

A simple, lightweight PowerShell script to remove pre-installed apps, disable telemetry, as well as perform various other changes to customi

It's very easy, even if you're not tech savvy or get scared of pop up windows saying "ARE YOU SURE?" Yes, you are sure, I promise. This program takes maybe two minutes and will save you SO MUCH pain, time, and money (and exploitation).

Now that you've done that, here's the cleanup, to catch the little shit that the debloat might have missed (most of this will already be done by debloat, but hey, it's good to double check).

Sick of AI in your Windows 11 PC? Here's how to get rid of it

Microsoft wants to put AI everywhere on your PC, but you can take back control.

Even just reading about some of these features makes me angry. Fucking Copilot and "Discover" AI scrapers are in Notepad. NOTEPAD. And then there's this uncanny valley garbage:

No uncanny valley video calls for me, thanks! (Also, what else is it doing while it scans your face and listens to your calls? What else, microsoft? Because there was a lot of memory being assigned to this program for a simple "smooths your skin" add on).

Stop Windows 11's most intrusive ads with these 9 easy tweaks

Tired of Microsoft pushing ads throughout Windows 11? Here are the settings you can tweak to turn them off and reclaim some privacy.

The truly insane number of places they have stuck ads on your own home computer is sickening. Become Unmarketable.

Bonus:

Some background programs you probably don't need that are taking up space and how to remove them (Microsoft forums, 2024)

things I would do if you're a nsfw/kink creative now because I've been eerily prescient about every single wave:

a) get a personal site with your own domain you own. now. not a carrd or third party squarespace. not next week. now. get it online with ugly-ass html but get your links there.

b) if you have the money: join one or multiple of eff.org / cbldf.org / freespeechcoalition.com

partly because they're actively fighting this, partly because they have members-only Lawyers You Might Need. Hint. Hint. Canary.

c) Write Down Those Lawyer Contact Numbers in meatspace. phone number of a real human being especially on paper, On You.

I have been in contact with lawyers for a few months now as my doujin circle knows. this should be telling you Many Things.

d) www.ecrater.com is where i'm going to be tentatively testing a shop because i like the fact you can *not* have payment processes and order digital/physical products via purely mail order.

(... be prepared for this to fall through too in the next 1-6 months.)

e) friends and followers of nsfw artists who earn most of their income through it: now's the time to support them. they're going to need the grace and financial flexibility especially mental health wise. domain/shop transfer/refund/therapy bills ain't free.

check in on them, and often.

f) get a VPN, use it daily to acclimatize, have them on your hard drive, several VPN's preferable. this is for the age verification laws coming. Start reading up on secure, privacy-focused infrastructure (prioritize email > website > shop in that order).

eff.org has a *ton* of resources.

g) prepare for discord and tumblr to be hit in the next wave. have alternatives *and actively start using them* if they're mission critical platforms for you.

I've played with matrix though I quite fancy IRC. if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I say these things not to fearmonger but to give yourself the maximum amount of time to prepare. the pendulum *will* swing back. it did with the 80's moral panic. it will for this too.

you just have to outlast the bastards.
