Do not join gambling apps, do not play gambling games, you are not immune to getting roped in. They've spent years perfecting the dopamine drip. Do not walk into the trap of gambling. Getting in is optional, do not get in.

What was this, the second time in a month that leftists gleefully joined in on a harassment campaign initiated by reactionaries against covid cautious people? Seems like that indicates a critical absence in awareness and analysis. Maybe y’all should fix that. And your hearts too.

It’s out today! The autumn equinox brings FALLOW TILL WE BLOOM, my strange T4T romance about trans people trying to rebuild a farm while being haunted by dark spirits only they can see. Stardew vibes, but a little spooky, too. Perfect for your fall reading season!
Three copies of “Fallow Till We Bloom” by Nikki Null sitting on a shelf beside a trans flag. Cover depicts a couple on a farm in autumn, surrounded by chickens.

The UK is voting on the Assisted Dying bill today. Most disability organizations oppose it. Safeguards have already been removed or rejected. Please listen to disabled Canadians. What was meant to be dignified quickly became coercive eugenics aimed at the most vulnerable.

"maths and science degrees offer the most value to the nation" my humanities graduate partner works for the civil service. The company I work for is 70% humanities graduates. Even beyond the inherent value of the arts, humanities degrees offer skills to the economy you say only come through STEM!!!

It's just weird isn't it when the British Museum is running a sold-out exhibition, when The Odyssey reports $1billion at the box office, when the V&A has just opened the most innovative and accessible museum model in Europe....and this is what our minister for research comes out with.

This is also me saying that the only way you break cycles of harassment and infighting in trans spaces is to simply refuse to participate. Showing compassion instead of socially punishing each other is really the only way we get past this. Let people fuck up, forgive and love them anyway.

Yes!! I grew up thinking I was poor because my parents continually claimed we had no money. We had money; they'd just decided that it shouldn't be spent on their child's interests. I have less money now than I ever "had" as a child, but because it's MINE my life is a lot richer

Sweet, strange uncitizens: ONCE I WAS MADE OF EARTH is here, an epic fantasy that's been ratling in my brain for years now and that I'm putting out into the world serially outside of the capitalist publishing apparatus. Share, and read, and comment. archiveofourown.org/works/91618061
The painting "The Moment" by James Warden, with the text "Once I Was Made of Earth" on it by Rivers Solomon. The painting is in the romantic style, quite dramatic and dark in tone if not colour, with a horse rearing with fear in its eyes as a snake launches to bite it, against a back drop of pink and blue mountains.

I know we have this conversation all the time but: when marketing a book, please tell me what the book is about. I've been seeing a book around for WEEKS, marketed through its author's identity, and I only learned its genre yesterday. To want to read your book I have to know what it's about.

I actually think it's a bit weird to accuse all trans fiction of being "uwu soft beans" when there is SO MUCH trans fiction out there of all kinds if you're willing to look. If you're only seeing soft stuff (which is ALSO GOOD) then you're following the wrong people sorry

this book is awesome. not only because it's about a gay trans man and set in a world whose inspiration is close enough to home for it to feel familiar. but also because it lets me indulge in another fantasy: a father who knows remorse [ #booksky #nekhreads ]

we really need to stop calling things content as much as we do and start saying something more reflective of the effort that goes into things. creative project, fan work, etc. Call it art, call it a written work, a think piece. I'll even take (blank) media over "content". It's such a nothing word.

Robin enters the Silver room of Babel third illustration for R. F. Kuang's Babel - Illustrated edition 30x40cm ink on claybord (starting to enter spoiler territory a bit here but eh)
black and white scratchboard illustration depicting a circular room in three point down-up perspective - around the room are circular pillars holding up a balcony. High above the room, an ornate dome. In the center of the room, dozens of silver bars of varying heights, some reaching to the ceiling, some a few inches high, are arranged almost like an organ. On the left side of the illustration, a boy wearing acamedic attire and holding a satchel, stands there and looks up at the silver bars in awe.

The ADHD conspiracy and the gender critical movement and the Prof Arday story and the crackdown on disability support are all the same story. There is a default ideal human: a cishet non-disabled white male. The further you deviate from that ideal, the more suspect you become.

Might as well play his part. 🖤 The Absurd Theatre of Eric Hanada: Act I is out now 🤍 🪦🕊️➡️ caedestyles.itch.io/tatoeh-act-i 🤝 Limited community copies available
Cover art for The Absurd Theatre of Eric Hanada: Act I, showing Eric cradling a human skull and looking just a little too pensively unbothered about it for that to not imply he's a raging [redacted]. To the right, four cropped illustrations from the book are shown: Eric looking focused with Bianka grinning smugly at him; Ayumu looking over his shoulder with tears in his eyes; Ayumu writing in his notebook with Yanhua sitting across from him, laughing; Eric holding Bianka's chin. Text reads: illustrated novel, ~45,000 words, 16 illustrations, please enjoy the show.

thinking about the popularity of so many "redraw trends" and plagiarism of compositions by all sorts of artists (it comes up often for gposing but 2D artists do it too). i have to sum up my discomfort with it as follows: it's artists treating other artists the same way A/I treats art as data

there's been a surge in support for the death penalty again, but people forget that we're not against the death penalty because we think evil people don't deserve to die, we're against it because the government having the power to kill someone they deem guilty can be abused by whoever is in power
