News flash but you can be gay /bi and still be homophobic Yeah I got mad. Homophobia makes me mad especially from someone in the community. Congratulations Idk what you are trying to win here but you are patently embarrassing yourself Goodbye

Straight appearing marriages. You argument that someone being married means they are “lying” is straight up ridiculous “Send me a pic of you kissing a girl or you are fake gay” is a wild take to have in this day and age especially towards an author whose been out longer than you’ve been alive

Athena Kane @athenakane.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Idc whether you are straight or not. I’m not listening to what you “have to say” because you have nothing of worth to say. Tamsyn Muir has been out since she was a teenager. She’s been writing lesbian fiction long before Gideon. She calls her partner her “platonic soulmate” I know queer people in

Athena Kane @athenakane.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Btw I’m blocking every account who has liked James Tullos’s Tweets being homophobic about Tamsyn Muir. In that screenshot she literally calls her partner her “platonic soulmate” so yeah Y’all are unsafe

011

Athena Kane @athenakane.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Also people can get married for financial reasons as well so idek man it just sounds like you are being homophobic

Athena Kane @athenakane.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Genuine question but why would someone lie about being gay? Like you genuinely think that books about lesbians would sell better than books about straight people? What world do you live in? As a lesbian I promise you that there are so many lesbian themes, a straight woman could not have written it

men have figured out a new dating technique and it's "less personal grooming" it's a bold strategy cotton let's see if it works out for them

"some men are skipping showers before dates to embrace a new trend called "pheromone-maxxing" hoping their natural scent will make them more attractive

I really should not be surprised that you are homophobic as well as misogynistic. Anyways I have unsubscribed. Please look up lavender marriages and stop embarassing yourself

Set over art of a blonde siren with a deep purple tail. She's smiling, but her teeth are sharp.

Nautical Horror Elements
Secret Identity
Complex Family Dynamics
Sapphic Romance
Grumpy x Sunshine
Gray Morality
Protagonist, Love Interest, and Villain PoVs

* Cordelia is a mermaid hunter who is cursed to come back to life as a flesh-eating siren after she dies at sea.
* She falls in love with a kind siren named Selene and keeps her identity a secret.
* When her family tries to kill Selene, Cordelia reveals herself to beg for mercy.
* Her adoptive brother gives her an ultimatum: return to the family fold and he'll leave Selene alone, or refuse and watch him slaughter everyone she's come to love.

"It was a child.
She shouldn’t have recognized it as such. The fish were a threat to society no matter their age. Creatures so vicious could hardly even be called animals, let alone people. Yet when she saw those eyes, all she could think was child. The same age she had been when her world nearly ended. The petrified whimper that drifted over the waves sounded the same as hers. In that moment, time stopped, and the difference that stood out to her wasn’t the sleek silver tail, but this: when Cordelia was scared, the people she loved had stepped in to make sure she knew she wasn’t alone.
The tiny mer had no one to stand in between it and the crossbow bolt pointed between its eyes. There was only the tremble of Cordelia’s own treacherous hands, and the fleeting, impossible thought that crossed her mind.
Am I a murderer?"

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

HOW TO LOOK AT ART by Lynda Barry

In the first panel, a dog-headed woman, a mother, looks at a painting in the "Madonna with Baby Jesus" vein. A small blobby child is standing next to her.

Mother: IM NOT SURE HOW TO LOOK AT ART.
Child: WHATS SPOSTA HAPPEN?

In the second panel the dog-headed mother holds up her hands (paws?) trying to explain to the child.

Mother: SOMETHING BIG. A REVELATION.
SUDDENLY YOU JUST UNDERSTAND.

In the third panel dog-headed mother goes back to looking at the painting. The child holds up their arms to be lifted.

Mother: NOT SURE HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN
Child: HOW BOUT LIFT ME UP SO I CAN SEE BETTER

In the last panel, the dog-headed mother is holding the child, their position mirrored by the Madonna and baby Jesus in the painting.

I don’t like the reemergence of the “if you’re homophobic, you’re gay!” It leans into gay as an insult. And some people are just bigoted, y’all.
