It's probably a good sign that the userbase that points out his harmful degree of incompetence and willful refusal to do anything remotely close to his fucking job is blocked from being able to advocate for our own safety. I wish him financially ruinous therapy bills when the harm he does sinks in

My anxiety is so high right now that I'm doing what I used to do when I had to drive in horrendous weather and needed to keep myself from panicking. Listening to the soundtrack for Princess Mononoke. Don't ask me why it works, just just usually does.

It blows my mind when people’s defence of using gen AI is, ‘Well, if I need a picture, what do you suggest I do? I don’t have time to learn to draw!’ The same thing you did four years ago, you microwaved fruit loop.

why would rapists bother to pretend to be trans in a culture that treats rapists better than trans women

On this day, let’s commit even more to honour the people who were here for thousands of years before the white settlers came, and to support the works of Indigenous folks and listen to every one of their voices, so we can acknowledge the truth that will lead us on the right path to reconciliation.

Kyle thought it'd be simple: Have wonderful evening go off without a hitch and ask the love of her life to marry her. Have them say yes. Have amazing night. Dear reader, NOTHING goes as planned. Not a single thing. Wide: bit.ly/ElysiumPropo... Itchio: bit.ly/itch-tep

Collage of blurred images including a young woman with short, dark hair; a nonbinary individual with long blonde hair and a red lipstick; a pirate coin; a castle half covered by the beach; the view of a ship; the ocean glimmering in the distance. In the foreground is the cover of "The Elysium Proposal" by A.E. Bross. The book cover features and individual with long, dark hair, standing silhouetted against an eerie green background.

A collage of images. Two of which are city scapes done in blues and pinks. The other two are women: one is lifting weights, the other is looking straight forward with a crown of roses on their head.
Centered in the foreground is a book cover that features a backdrop of skyscrapers in dark blue and pink. A silhouette of a woman stands looking up at them. Text with computer patterns reads CyberSnow by A.E. Bross

Every now and again, you need to get out of your comfort zone. Sometimes that means answering strange phone calls in the night, saving people you've never met, and being drawn into a time-traveler's mission to save the world from raw magic. Wide: bit.ly/b2r-WWC Itchio: bit.ly/itchWWC

A collage of images relaying an urban fantasy/paranormal vibe. Images are in the following order.

Top left: A woman sitting against a white backdrop wearing an oversized black sweater.
Top center: Two men in silhouette against a brightly lit window, moving in for a kiss.
Top right: A man in a long hallway. He is dressed in a black hoodie and his hand obscures his face, smoke curling out from it.

Middle left: View through a rain spattered window of the cityscape of Chicago.
Middle right: Black and white image of stairs moving upwards, but the stairs have signs that say, "Stop! No entry."

Bottom left: A man walking on a cold, winter morning. His breath can be seen as he exhales.
Bottom center: A young girl with brown/blonde hair lying on a white sheet with shining stars in her hair.
Bottom right: A woman with brown skin and braided hair, standing and looking, determined, at the camera.
