Mad S @kadharonon.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Last time I knew someone who was applying for a B&N job, they got asked whether they participate in Booktok, so I think even the corporate jobs are pretty heavily selecting not just for people who read, but people who read and review books. 180
Mad S @kadharonon.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I think a lot of people get caught up on "I have to make this perfect" rather than going "Does this communicate what I need it to communicate?" with their art. 040

Mad S @kadharonon.bsky.social · 01/10/2026* by which I mean I wrote something sufficiently non-kinky with the “doesn’t know what sex is” prompt that I just gave up and posted it at the end of September. And have done no other writing. 110
Mad S @kadharonon.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I meant to do pre-writing for this month and have had both the standard Kinktober and the kinks-your-tober list in a Scrivener draft set up for it for weeks now, and did nothing with it*, so thank you for the reminder that drabbles exist. 110
Mad S @kadharonon.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I feel like a lot of cartoon villains from my childhood look like they escaped from a BDSM dungeon, but she really took the cake in that category. Character of all time. 020
Mad S @kadharonon.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Wasn’t there a review of The Raven and the Reindeer that was convinced there was hardcore lesbian porn in it despite there being zero porn? Why does this keep happening to you. 1280

Mad S @kadharonon.bsky.social · 26/09/202690% of why I love it has very little to do with the plot and a lot to do with the all the various bits they've got Preed, Stith, and Gune doing. 000
Mad S @kadharonon.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I kind of enjoyed them, but I expected “apple and apricot flavored Turkish Delight” based on the appearance and that is, in fact, what I got. 120
Mad S @kadharonon.bsky.social · 26/09/2026So that rather than trying to reduce the daydreaming -> extra crushed upon rejection, it's more about increasing the endorphins from the rejection in some way. 110
Mad S @kadharonon.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Ouf, yeah, that makes sense, given that a lot of places don't allow simultaneous submission. Hm. Maybe make a game of the rejections? Or otherwise find a way to turn them into something fun/give yourself a reward for them so that there's something to look forward to with a rejection? 110
Mad S @kadharonon.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Is there a way to avoid looking at that specific page, or is it right front and center every time you log in to Submission Grinder to do anything there? 110

Mad S @kadharonon.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I feel like in this specific case, trying to work one’s mind around to the job-search logic of “assume you didn’t get the job and move on to applying to the next, so if you get a positive response it’s a pleasant surprise” might be useful, if depressing. 120
Mad S @kadharonon.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Not good enough at drawing porn yet, anyway. Need to practice. Some day, I will figure out what I’m going to do with that particular story. 020
Mad S @kadharonon.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The vibe is maybe not quite all the way to Baddies but I do wish I’d put more time into figuring out how to draw it over the past year so that I could at least attempt pitching the whole “goth MILF fucks a scare actor dressed as a clown ringmaster” thing to the upcoming Iron Circus collection. 120
Mad S @kadharonon.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I don’t know that modern social media has been healthy for fandom overall, or for creators. Even people who want to keep a healthy distance can get dragged in. 030
Mad S @kadharonon.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I’ve definitely got weird and complicated feelings about this as someone who is primarily a fandom creator rather than one producing my own work… but even operating entirely on the fandom side, I find one or two weird interactions can sour any interest in connecting. 130
Mad S @kadharonon.bsky.social · 25/09/2026You’re at least striking a better balance than some people I see out here deliberately cultivating a parasocial relationship with their audience that I keep waiting to see come back and hit them in the ass, so… there’s that? 120

Mad S @kadharonon.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Meanwhile I’ve seen cartoonists express more horny with a facial expression constructed from three lines than I’ve seen from some of the fully rendered stuff that should in theory be horny. 021
Mad S @kadharonon.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I feel like there’s like… this push for shiny too-perfect pseudo-realism that instantly sucks all the horny out of it. And it’s not like you can’t have realistic horny, but you gotta let your characters show it in their faces, and that style does not lend itself well to it. 150
Reposted by Mad Sderek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 24/09/2026It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking. 328165212143
Reposted by Mad SRichard E Frankel @refrankel.bsky.social · 23/09/2026In the last years of the Weimar Republic one of the surest signs that democracy was dying was the growing number of decrees issued through the president’s Article 48 powers and the decreasing number of laws passed by the Reichstag.

Mad S @kadharonon.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I took a Beowulf class in undergrad where we had to translate lines into English weekly, and it was just barely possible to do so quickly because I was also a German major and the text we were using had a dictionary in the back.
