“i don’t want some other kid putting thoughts into my kid’s head that lead to a harder life.” well, first of all, stop working so fucking hard to make being trans a harder life, you piece of shit. second of all, if you can’t handle talking to your kid about gender you probably shouldn’t have a kid.

Alright, here's the design with all the orange/gold/yellow done. For the remaining sections I'll do cool colors. Greens? Blues? Or maybe purples...?

A radially symmetric mandala with wavy lines dividing it into irregular sections. Half the sections have been coloured in with orange, gold, and yellow.

I was part-way through a mandala project and I think it looks pretty like this:

A partly colored mandala in orange, yellow, and gold. The symmetric pattern is divided by some flowing lines.

Cover reveal!! With gorgeous artwork by Trisha Srivastava, THE FROG PRINCE is published by Putnam Books and hops into bookstores on 22nd June 2027 🐸👑

Cover for The Frog Prince by Lucy Lapinska. Cass, a thirty something blonde woman, puckers up to kiss a cute looking frog sat in her hands

You Have to Kiss a Lot of Frogs to Find Your Prince!
Thirty-something, unemployed, and living in the shabby home left to her by her beloved dad, Cass Gabriel knows better than anyone that you have to kiss a lot of frogs betore you can expect your prince to come along. She just ... takes it more literally than most. But what she doesn't realize when performing her annual good luck tradition by the back garden pond is that sometimes wishes really do come true, in the way that you least expect.
Because this new year's kiss triggers something impossible when a small, ordinary-looking frog explodes into a man.
A very naked man. And one who announces himself as Dahlan Anura, Crown Prince of the Seventh Kingdom.
Looking atter a real prince charming who has been transplanted into a Nottinghamshire housing estate is one thing. Falling in love with him is quite another. And as Cass, her best friend Kori and their motley crew of friends and family learn, the road to a fairytale ending is never entirely straighttorward.

Scolding grown children for cutting off their parents is anti-trans rhetoric. And it's homophobic.

For every one person who has distanced themselves from their parents, I know five more who SHOULD. And some people should be going no contact.

These rainbow heart socks have been sitting in my shop for a while waiting for someone to take them home. I think it's just cause they're a size small, but surely one of you knows a queer child who might like them? I ALSO sell this as a knitting pattern! ko-fi.com/s/469a3547e4 #BSNM #pride

A pair of rainbow knitted socks on wire blockers. They're damp while blocking, so the colors are a little darker than normal. They have variegated rainbow stripes and a repeating heart eyelet pattern, though the latter is hard to see with them folded so you only see the sides

A pair of rainbow knitted socks laid flat on a blanket, showing off the repeating heart eyelet pattern

The socks laid flat to show the back side of the socks, which also has the eyelet pattern on the ankle.

Book of the day is EM Anderson’s “Lord of the Wood.” I LOVED both of their previous novels and am really psyched for this one tho now that I have cracked the proverbial cover of the ebook I see it’s a horror?? 👀 WHY NOT START IT AT BEDTIME RIGHT??

The cover of Lord of the Wood by E. M. Anderson, featuring a stag made of plants standing on a flower-twined branch against a blue background, with the tagline “Even a beastly woodland protector needs saving.”

We have our Bird of the Year 2026! Little karure is a "conservation success story, going from just five birds in the 1980s to about 350 today." But it is still critically endangered. "98,920 validated votes cast this year ... 88 percent of those have come from right here in Aotearoa New Zealand."

It did. As did Hit and Run. Wellington Unity is the go to launch site for local authors. It is extremely supportive and needs our support in return. So, if you are in the area come and buy a copy of the book from them.

the AI kill switch we need

A man says “It may sound primitive and unscientific, but through the fairies, we could ask Mothra to help.” This is a still from (I think) the film "Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster" (1964)

Agree. The overuse of metaphor and simile is a style choice one should only make with intention. Also: they are tools that should make your meaning clearer or explain more thoroughly. If they OBSCURE your meaning... just why would you do that?
