Guess what? knight shetchess 🗡

Just woke up on the new year! Good fuckin riddance 2025. I'm starting 2026 with a sleepy kitty on my lap so that's the vibe. Her name is Marco Polo she is @snazzygoose.bsky.social's baby

Over 275 authors, editors, critics and diehard readers came together over the last month to vote on their favorite transfeminine books of the year. It's my honor to present the 2025 TFR Reader's Choice Awards! Congratulations to the winners, and thank you to everyone who voted 🩷

this was the most difficult year of my life so far, and I’m excited to send it on its way. I don’t make as much art as I’d have liked but when have I ever. I drew a lot of worms this year and looking back at them makes me feel some pride. I made some new friends and some happy goose memories.

"The desert! It is so cold at night and, and, my room is cold, as well." She said. "...I will bring an attendant with blankets." I turned to leave, she ran over to stand between me and the door. Our noses nearly touched. I held my breath.

Scrambled to get a 2025 review post out. Instead of talking about me, I dug into my blog dataset and made a bunch of graphs. elmc.at/2025-in-blog...

Today, I wish to discuss how the difficult questions of third world feminism are elided and obscured by Western feminists---both white and not---and kindly ask feminists all over the world to grow a fucking pair. Read: taliabhattwrites.substack.com/p/no-country...

Superb photobomb from my collection - no date/info.

New profile pic for the new year. A lil self portrait i painted on boxing day as part of a game with mum. Prompt was to make it look like picasso.

In the penultimate blog post of the year, I reflect on my roleplaying beginnings and how those experiences inform my game design. www.fluoriteguillotine.com/blog/2025/12...

Reposting for the night-time crowd! I read a lot of books this year and i have reccomendations for your own reading, particularly if you're into transfemme literature. Happy new year!!! ❤️

meadowofthewitch-hares.blogspot.com/2025/12/my-f... I've done an overview of some of my favourite books I read over 2025. Lots of transfemme reccomendations in here! Fill your boots and happy new year ❤️

My old university is hosting a 'debate' on: "Is pegging gay?" and it's very clearly a queerphobic joke so I'm settling it here - If it matters to you that pegging is or isn't gay then pegging is whatever annoys you most. Sex is a form of expression so it means what you want it to mean, be normal!!!

Andy Burnham's apology is welcome, but the article reveals it to be a response after a police commissioner refused to apologise for past persecutions of LGBT people. The commisioner claimed it would be 'performative' and 'meaningless' but to contrast it with the other news about hate incidents /1

all news i hear about the UK is like "supreme court has ruled that the 'trans people can use the bathroom' act of 2007 states that trans people can't use the bathroom. as a result, businesses nationwide are considering abolishing public bathrooms entirely in fear of having to enforce this ruling"

meadowofthewitch-hares.blogspot.com/2025/12/merr... The Meadow of the Witch-Hares returns! Here's a silly ruleset for running players through a rom-com xmas movie and definitely NOT a Die Hard bait-and-switch. Why would you even suggest that you sound so crazy (merry christmas) #OSR #TTRPG

Would you like to know how to make a zine? Here's easy step-by-step instructions on how to make your own without the use of a computer by @thorazos.bsky.social

Yes, I agree. That’s definitely there. I was also really moved by seeing the way the game incorporates the idea of aging, and legacy. The idea that time changes us, and no one lives forever. I think it focuses players on heroic deeds, more than endless progress and acquisition.

Love to make a game where your three classes are entirely randomly selected and the only way you can exert any control over the process is deciding if you want to transition or not when you roll a girl one.

I’m not typically one for long articles detailing NPCs, but a solo game affords you all sorts of indulgences.

The Goldfinch is also like this, the author not having a clue how men think, but I am absolutely willing to let her run riot because she is astounding at stuff like e.g. what it is like to walk into an antiques shop. She takes two pages to tell you about the granular detail, and it’s all great.

No one can be surprised by the rank hypocrisy of Murdoch's 'Trump is a feminist hero' and 'Ending Roe v Wade was right' Times. But worth noting the difference between when it gets what it wants from the judiciary and when it doesn't.

man, the collective grief from older trans people at the violent death of the world we briefly hoped was coming, a world in which trans children would be recognised, loved, and helped... yeah.

I have flu so i drew a dragon version of me (definitely feeling shitty, but also cosy)
