It's Indigenous Peoples Day, a day to learn and honour our ancestors. Apparently, the origin of the word cannibal isn't well known. I hope this post helps! I'm Marat, a queer Afro-Indigenous indie author who loves history and dealing with our fucked up past in fictionally Gothic ways.

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence
they did the research in the first place because they believed you and wanted to tell people about it. they are not our enemies.

people always go "Instead of spending all that time on a study they could have just listened to us when we said these thing happen"

they did listen, that's how studies work, they asked people about their experiences and put all the data together in a nice package that can be cited

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back

One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

Today I turn 28, so I'm sharing a teaster my next project as a little treat to myself. Coming 10.31.26, this is a religious horror that takes place in a near-future dystopia and follows an exorcist who doesn't believe in angels and the angel who is very real and now his problem.

A 4 square moodboard featuring (from top left and going clockwise)
- a brown wing close up
A pair of hands praying with rosary beads between them and a dark background
- a close up of an eye without an iris or pupil
- a collection of lit candles

In the center is black text on a white background that says "God was silent."

An angel statue in a cemetery as the background with snippets of the book over top in white text on a black background. They read:

"Aren't you supposed to tell me to not be afraid?"

"OH, little exorcist," the angel says, and when he smiles at Cassiel, it's all impossibly sharp teeth. "You should be afraid."

When you see trans women being banned from co-ed competitions like darts, billiard, and chess—where even if we did have more muscle in defiance of all natural laws—you start to realize that these bans aren't about "fairness." They're about never allowing undesirables to be celebrated.

Caleb doesn't believe in demons. But they believe in him — and when he's unwillingly chosen and kidnapped by one of his professors to be a demonic sacrifice, Caleb will learn just how deep the rabbit hole goes. #mmromance

White text over a background of dark red thorns, reading: Summoning

Aster Holloway

Caleb Nelson doesn't believe in the supernatural, despite the rumors that run wild on campus of an occult secret society. That is, until he wakes, naked and hogtied, the virgin sacrifice to a demon.

A very attractive demon, who isn't pleased to see how poorly his sweet sacrifice has been treated. It was Caleb's blood that summoned him, after all. Why would he listen to anyone else?

Foolish humans.

A grid of nine images over a dark red background. Clockwise from the top left, they are:
1. a thorn dripping water over a red background
2. a man wearing a crooked blindfold
3. a man in a red silk shirt and gold jewelry
4. a pale hand reaching out to touch a bookshelv
5. wrists bound with rop
6. hands reaching up in the air
7. seven lit candles surrounded by clear crystals
8. a pair of hands with black fingertips wearing golden rings
9. a mysterious symbol chalked on the floor

nice of him to play along..

clark kent. invincible man and beloved boytoy. he's laid across the bed in dim lighting, bound at the wrists and spread with his cock pushed through a jockstrap doing its best. there's an assortment of kiss marks all over his body, and he's leaking quite heavily in anticipation for what's to come.

his glasses are slouched, and he's biting back a small smile through a dark cloth passed through his teeth. there's nothing holding him back from snapping the rope and taking what he wants, but he's enough of a gentleman to suspend his disbelief, and play by the rules of tonight.
