Happy steam summer sale, y’all.

An image from Pokémon of a squirtle running towards a group of squirtles in black robes. The squirtles in black robes have the caption “unfinished game 1,2,3, and 4” while the squirtle running towards them says “newly bought game”.

it is really important to be loud about this stuff because it's typically kept very quiet to enable people to go "See? Nothing happened, it was just people being dramatic"

my fave anecdote about this is when bryan fuller wanted to show naked bodies from behind on hannibal, and s&p said he couldn't show butts. so he was like "what if i fill the buttcrack with blood" and they said sure

One of the reasons I use ellipsus for writing my fics and comic scripts is their anti-AI stance. And I just find it convenient to use!

there are altogether too many quotable paragraphs in this must-read article but i think i can restrain myself to just this one

a screenshot from the linked aftermath article below (A Game Doesn't Need to be 'By and for Fans' by Harper Jay MacIntyre) that reads:

Characters don’t deserve anything, and I don’t think fans do either. The goal of a story cannot simply be to satiate the hunger of fanatics or to smooth out the ripples of a world. Even the most indulgent self-insert fan fiction arguably operates on higher goals than this; the writer crafts the silly tale in order to address something in their soul. You don’t write to fix a story; it ideally addresses something inside us. You don’t write because fictional characters need it. You write because you need it. You do it because there’s something in you that needs to be said.

The proliferation of this quote is so interesting to me. It's often posted by right wing chuds who use it to defend conventional aesthetic ideas — such as the importance of having a lean, athletic body — but they don't really understand Owens's work. Let's talk about it. 🧵

A quote by Rick Owens. It reads: "Working out is modern couture. No outfit is going to make you look or feel as good as having a fit body. Buy less clothing and go to the gym instead."

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

Mr Peculiar 🔞 NEW ANIMATION OUT @mrpecu.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking. I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

Office Rep: Hello! this is the office for congressman Billy Bob. How May I help you?

Me: Hey my name is (Gov. name) from (residing city). I had some concerns.

Office Rep: Sure thing I can pass on a message!

Me: Are you familiar with this ongoing push for these online safety laws?

Office Rep: Hmm...Is there a particular bill or law that it involves?

Me: A few actually!

Office Rep: Go ahead!

Me: the KIDS Act, Kids online safety act (KOSA), the Screen Act, Sammy's Law, and the App Store Accountability Act

Office Rep: Got it!

Me: I strongly oppose these laws and I urge Billy Bob to vote no when these bills are up for vote. They do nothing to actually protect children and are just a cover to suppress free speech.

Also There's been a bipartisan push to end section 230. I think Section 230 should be protected since it's important for online free speech. I'm not a fan of this speed running of a surveillance state happening
right now. Have you noticed that?

Office Rep: (Chuckles) Okay, I have it all written down and I'll make sure Billy Bob gets the message. Thank you for calling!

Me: Thank you for listening.

Jesus fucking Christ. I keep seeing authors on Threads asking readers how many sex scenes they should put in their books. “What would you prefer?” WTF? Your characters/plot should inform how much sex there is, not randos. Your book is not Burger King. Readers do not need to have it their way.
