A small announcement before we continue yelling about books:

Bonedust Press is a publisher, which means we need to sell books to survive as a business, but that is nothing compared to the people around the world, including in our own communities, trying to simply survive through genocide, war, natural disasters, and hateful bigotry.

We cannot ignore our need to balance these two truths.

Bonedust Press commits to donating 10% of all direct sales to mutual aid on a continuing basis. Every month, we will donate to a specific cause and we will continue to do so for as long as we are able.

Just to be perfectly clear: we support freedom and independence for Gaza, Lebanon, Iran and every place being bombarded or threatened. We see Sudan and we grieve and wish for peace. We support our trans and queer siblings and their freedom. We do not tolerate hateful bigotry. We are just a small indie publisher, but we are built by human hands. We are Black, queer, and angry. Our heart hurts for the people in pain, and we’ll do what we can with what we have.

In a world of gods, prophecies, and heroes, who cares about the henchmen? The Traitor & the Wretch is a dark fantasy with an unexpectedly tender romance where two doomed men redefine their fates. Written by @mythjae.bsky.social Illustrations by @skulkingfoxes.bsky.social Cover art by @fusspot.rip

Absolutely THIS. People think a dollar or two isn't "real"support, or isn't enough and like no no, IT IS ACTUALLY SO MUCH bc it adds up! It feels like just the $1 on your end, but on our end it ends up being $10 or $100 or even $1000s A dollar goes farther than you think

Imagine Stephen King, circa 1997, putting out daily press releases promoting his anti-gay org while publishing horror books as Richard Bachman. Imagine George Lucas, circa 2007, announcing a billion dollar fund for anti-Muslim lawsuits, then launching 'The Clone Wars.' This is J.K. Rowling today.

A valuable lesson I learnt was "ain't nobody gonna give a damn about the things you care about as much as you. And even if they did, it wouldn't be in the same way that you do. That's because they're not you. And you've just gotta hold that, and act accordingly, innit."

The Luddites loved technology. They owned looms at home and would ‘mod’ them to count threads. Their battle was against worker exploitation. The degradation of their rights, safety and wages. They were against a handful of rich businessmen owning the means of production. Sound familiar?

Hanging out at a party with friends, getting used to drawing in my traveler's notebook. The sketchbook paper is probably my favorite so far, as my brush and white gel pens interact nicely with it.

Two NPCs from the TTRPG campaign I run.

On the left is a taller woman with horns and full arm gauntlets. She has her dark hair in a bun with her hand on her best friend's shoulder.

On the right is an average sized person with wings extended from the sides of their head to cover their face. They have a long sleeve sweater on that covers up to their forewings which are oriented downwards.

Various bust, upper body, and eye sketches of one of my NPCs. Each tries out different designs and stylizations.

She has her dark hair in a bun, long, dangling earrings, horns that have a slight curl upwards, and wears a black mesh turtleneck.

btw, the reason i like "shitty is better than incomplete" over "perfect is the enemy of good" is that w/the latter, i can dupe myself into going "yeah, but it's not even GOOD yet" lmao. w/the former, i'm not aiming for anything but finished. so when i do better than shitty, that's just a cool bonus

some tips for actually doing this: -shitty is better than incomplete -you are the ONLY one who can do what YOU'RE doing -people LOVE seeing the artist's hand in their work, esp in the age of genAi -the more you say "this sucks," the more you believe it. the opposite is also true

For Disability Pride Month, here's another reminder for people who claim to be allies for disabled people: Do not say that we're all a little autistic or that everyone is on the spectrum. If that were truly the case then this society would be easier for actual autistic people to live in.

I'm still loving my little puddle slime friend I got at Soonercon. When the present horrors begin to creep back into view, I can just look down and think, "Well, at least cute things still exist."

This page where I was going to journal about "Latercon" at Soonercon perfectly summarizes how that night went.

A page from my traveler's notebook that has a sticker of Napstablook in the tip left corner along with a list of all of my "loot" from the weekend.

There is a space to begin journaling about the "Latercon" activities that are for adults after 7pm with a caption that says "Degenerate Time."

The section after it is completely blank, which is almost a better way to describe it than anything I could have written.

Since the concept is being misunderstood and misused, let's talk about what "third-sexing" means as a mechanism of transphobia. I built on an idea first discussed in @juliaserano.bsky.social's "Whipping Girl" that discussed how, interpersonally, cis people refuse to acknowledge our genders.

The Third Sex

“The Gender Binary” is a misnomer; gender has always been a hierarchy.

Beneath is a drawing of The Titan's enormous, beefy cyborg main character, Ansel Dune. He's shirtless and wearing (ahem) well-fitted and low-riding sweatpants as he stands with a hand on his hip while ashing a cigarette with the other. He's blowing smoke and looking at the viewer and is saying "Eat your heart out, Kratos. I'll see you in hell."

re: generative AI I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used. And now, you can use it, too.

Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be.

The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with.

The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization.

In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape.

You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.
