Is bsky feeling like a real shitty place to be non-binary at the moment or is my feed just fucking with me I don't mean just with all the usual anti-trans stuff, there just seems to be a lot of inflammatory "wrong way to be trans" content appearing all of a sudden

was feeling shit, then I made the mistake of watching The Hunt, which was so fucking bad I've come out the other side feeling ok... This might be legitimately the worst film I've ever seen in my life...

A couple of years ago, every new authoritarian, anti-trans policy here in the uk would knock me out for a couple of days, i’d be so shocked and upset. Now I just get up and keep going, this is normal now, we are second class citizens with a new discrimination being imposed basically every week!

Assorted folks in my phone - the next chapter is up. My god this one was a total ballache to complete, but I'm finally happy enough with it to upload ☺️ Please give it a read. #booksky #authorsky #writersky #queer #transauthor #smut #sapphic #transbian www.scribblehub.com/read/2564439...

Book Cover in a cartoon style.

A goddess in purple robes stands, arms folded, in front of a temple. Purple question marks hover about her head. She looks amused and confused.

In front of her is a brown haired girl in an orange dress, she is blushing and red hearts are hovering above her head.

At the top, greek style writing reads "Aphrodisia" and at the bottom, text reads "The twelve labours of Sappho"

From today's art class. Blodeuwedd in Repose - Rowan Blake (2026) Mixed media (mostly watercolour and ink) Really enjoying this as a medium, although colour is taking some getting used to #art #watercolour #pagan #transartist #queerartist #fuckai #blodeuwedd

A red haired figure in a blue dress, laying by a river. She is dangling one foot and one hand in the water, with another hand in the air reaching for floating blossoms coming from a tree. Behind her are fields of lavender, and rolling hills.

Text in the bottom left reads "Blodeuwedd in repose"

The problem with this damn story is that the supposed villain isn't villainous. He's basically disabled, annoyed and desperate... like me... and the actual villain wants to kill the poor bastard for not being villainous enough why did i do this

My editor really isn't keen on this whole reading and writing lark. As far as she's concerned the only thing I need to do is feed and cuddle her. The book will probably just write itself...

Stuck this guy in a frame and holy crap...like I'd buy this! It looks soooo good! Definitely gonna have to do a few more illustrations for this book... #art #tradart #pastels #painting #booksky #artsky #queerartist #transartist #fuckai

Confrontation scene, set in a wasteland at night.

A colossal skeletal figure looms over a smaller figure.

The skeleton has wings, and two pairs of arms - one pair clutching a magical staff, and a flaming whip. the other pair equipped with long talons. He has a pair of skeletal dragon tails and horns. He is wearing a purple wizard hat. His outspread wings are a patchwork of colour. His eyes are glowing red. He is surrounded by whisps - blue spirits of varying size.

The smaller figure is a magical girl / giant mech hybrid. A pair of human looking arms reach above her head casting a musical spell, her mech arms hold a large gun and a golden lance. She had blue hair, blue wings and wears a blue coat. Her mechanical parts are painted orange and black like a tiger.

The picture is displayed in a black frame.
