Now that Stock is using it for COVID denial, it should be even more obvious that the term "social contagion" is just an unserious turd-gilding of "woke mind virus"

Muppet Old Joe: I don't pay extra for warm. Muppet Mrs. Dilber: You should! It's the only warmth 'e ever 'ad! Me: I love her My Baby Sister: [without looking up from her phone] Yeah, she's hot. Me: ... I mean, yeah, but how is THIS genetic???

there's always pressure on trans girls to minmax our transitions... but my paleolithic-fertility-idol ass stands testament to the fact that estradiol pills are fine, actually

sometimes living in a swamp means that you have to relocate newly-hatched aliverocks out of your driveway

"My 'outie?' God, we need to come up with a better word for that. But no, I don't *have* an outie, Ted, and I'll tell you why. I'm not like you or these other peons. I don't NEED an outie because I am one hundred percent IN."

I know this was some lukewarm transmisogynistic humor, but where do you think these props ended up and do you agree that if I had them they'd become retroactively funny?

some old selfies, because IDK if the bluskii crowd realizes I'm pretty yet

a selfie where I've got a cute assymmetrical bob and a little blush on and my cleavage is pretty choice

sorry to cut the viscerally upsetting thought experiment short, but I believe I've arrived at the objectively correct answer

Some more about me, personally: I grew up in a tiny mountain cabin with no indoor plumbing, now I live in an attic over a swamp, I have a master's in library science, I love tea and pierogies, I'm ten inches taller than @vugarou.bsky.social (my partner of 15 years), we have two beautiful cats.

I also wrote Wickedness, a high stakes tarot-driven RPG for exactly three players where your coven must balance the demands of the mortal and magical worlds against their own relationships and personal failings, or else slowly lose each other (and maybe fail to stop the apocalypse).

The cover of Wickedness in an older illuminated style marked by blues and gold, featuring three robed witches pouring dark water into cauldron (a reference to the three of cups).

A two-page spread of Wickedness shows the playbook for the Wild Spirit, one of three player archetypes in the game. There's an illustration of a red ram's skull, its teeth gold and its mouth full of roses.

Yazeba's is a love-letter to indie games, using a diverse cast of loveable weirdos with their own modular "half-moves" to keep producing surprising new twists on a simple game engine for scenario after scenario. (You can buy it here:) www.indiepressrevolution.com/xcart/Yazeba...

I co-created Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast with @jdragsky.bsky.social, a sprawling, innovative slice-of-life game about a cranky witch and her colorful cast of misfit boarders, designed to merge easy pick-up play with impactful legacy mechanics that challenge assumptions about chronology & canon.

Hello, website! I'm Mazey Veselak / @nightlingbug, a disabled trans girl who writes and edits fantasy fiction and tabletop roleplaying games. My work focuses on finding the mystical in the mundane, on queer life and healing, and on body liberation.

A moon-faced trans girl with curling tendrils of silvery-brown hair smiles faintly at the camera. Her shawl is clasped on over an emerald-green dress by tiny skeletal hands.

A fat trans woman in pastel greens and pinks poses in a mirror, bumping her hips out to the side to show off her curves. She's making the cliche V-for-Victory hand gesture, but in a cool ironic way... she hopes.
