Set up a goal for moving. Looks like I’ll be essentially without a home by the end of July, Want to get a storage space for my things, settle my debts, and hopefully get a ticket to crash at a friendly home for a bit

There’s a certain kind of person that wants to be your friend but only insofar as you overwhelmingly share their tastes, opinions, etc. This is pretty normal mean girl shit ofc. Being marginalized can intensify this dynamic in really unhealthy ways that make it get very infantilizing very quickly.

A common rebuke to criticism from people who don't wanna be seen as transphobic is "it's not good representation!", which is funny because trans women fucking love it when characters aren't flawless tokens

GO has a better understanding of gender than most sff on the market.

Haruspicy.

I genuinely think the reason people are so mad at TADC is they sympathised with a trans woman under the mistaken belief she was a Tumblr sexyman, they were artfully manoeuvred into doing so by another trans woman, and they can't make the "it doesn't count" stick and they can't take it back

One of the funnest things @devi.bsky.social and I did in Hades Calculus, I think, is that we wrote a story where the cis femme is the one who goes into combat in defense of a transfem butch, swearing herself to the butch as a sort of knight/soldier, rather than the other way around.

I really love it when authors take the time to share their observations on another's work. It's like the best dopamine hit when they're impressed alongside questioning your choices.

Ouch.

There have been quite a few shows about traditional Japanese art (The World is Dancing, Akane-banashi) and traditional Japanese history (Nippon Sangoku) airing, and something I notice is that a lot of the recent ones are VERY high production value, and 2 have already had another cour announced.

There's such a clear and obvious difference between people who overtly call themselves "allies" compared to people who simply exist with and among us as peers. Calling yourself an ally is like calling yourself a grungler or a male feminist, frankly

Ah, yes. My favorite dark romance. Bread.

My friends are cool and I like them. :)

Saw a ridiculous pose in a manga and was like "i wonder if i can draw that" and so i tried Neither success nor failure, but ✨Learning✨ Also, fun fact, this is basically a scene in boombride! Though her expression is a *little* different at the time. #valdraws

Let's put a📍in it! Currently working on: Editing my debut novelette BRAND NEW DOLL – a trans story of vampires, losers, and fighting to keep the part of yourself that makes you uniquely you. Previously my writing appeared in a 2021 Christmas anthology by Ghost Orchid Press. 🔗🌐 bio.site/livgraves

Sayonara Lara is either queerbaiting super fucking hard or committing all-in on yuri, there's no inbetween.

The lactation chapter :)

In Her Image 06 — King of the Gods is now available on my patreon! In which a concerned Zeus summons Persephone and her oft discussed handmaiden to answer for her actions.

Unreliable narration's so fun to write.

Have art of some of the OCs in my Gunmetal Olympus fic that exists in a wildly divergent AU. (So you probably don't need to know anything about GO past 'Greek Mythos Sci-Fi with Mechs'.) Information about each in alt text.

Of course they did. Why would they be expected to monitor RFK Jr? He works in the office, they see him every day.

From Roger Ebert's review of GITS (1995). The fad of WHAT?

So curious how they make the puppets in Thunderbolt Fantasy move like that.

it's like pulling an SSR that's not on the banner

Why are the brimmed hats so obsessed with Coco anyway? Theory I saw is that they wanted someone who has integrated into the pointed hats society to... chip at them from the inside...? But that seems like a remarkably ineffective way to do it.

Hearts broken cleanly and otherwise:

Yeah the gods just like to pick up Mada for the night for activities. Joint custody shit. Athena likes to play little board games. Dionysus likes to fuck. Hades likes to play chess with her headmate. Long live Free Use Mada.

Oh so this is why people call trans women 'radfem separatists' when they do transfeminism and talk to each other.

Many people say Isadora looks surprisingly like King Zeus! Well today I met someone who looked surprisingly like Isadora! She’ll be so excited when I tell her!

it’s also my birthday month so you can think of it as a birthday gift!

ever feel like the trans woman is meant to be isolated. like people like us best when we're the only one of our kind in the group, and don't raise any fuss? ever feel like our job is to be alone or singular and scared of being disposed of? ever feel like people hate us forming actual communities?

Whenever I get the football I scream because I do not know what a football is, is it some sort of creature, why is it rolling towards me, aargh it touched my foot, help, get it away. Horrid thing. Begone

The Zoe Post. Anyway, he trick to not getting suckered into any witch hunts built on false pretenses is damn simple. Just mind your own business. It is neither part of any sort of social contract nor a healthy idea to pick fights on anyone's behalf, even if it's your best friend or family, etc.

people take one look at that and correctly say "wow, these are some of the most awful people in the world," and then immediately a hell of a lot of people also go "I should totally copy their playbook and use it to terrorize people myself. Except I'm only going to do it to bad people, of course."

got this big awful horror show with a huge number of people getting drawn into this weird freaking cult where they have this ever-growing list of people they're stalking and terrorizing to the point that it becomes totally life consuming and also the backbone of Trump's political career. Reasonable

One of the weirder things about the magical world of social media is that the sort of situation being described in this thread is something a hell of a lot of people started getting sucked into as something of a response to Gamergate, but also, this sort of thing is literally Gamergate. Like, we've
