while I already knew heated rivalry was made in a lab for me ep.4 really sealed the deal with the skillful deployment of “all the things she said.” they did it better than Anora!!

good morning, I have noticed that some of the critical responses to the Crave show Heated Rivalry have been, let's say, incomplete sex scenes are craft! goddammit!

any time a country needs a new cultural export they just need to make yaoi. the fujoshi is without borders

I listen to exactly two podcasts regularly and this is one of them (the other is pchh)! If you’re looking for thoughtful conversations about fic this is the place to go.

Happy birthday to me! Katie Wilson (a Democratic Socialist) has won the race for Mayor of Seattle. Think your vote doesn't matter in a place like WA? She won by less than 2,000 votes! So happy for Seattlites tonight!

[pulling up to the drive-through] hey can I get uhhhhhhh one of those terrible socialist mayors in my city too

soo many good things in here!!

saw the premiere of this beautiful short film (staring my dad!) at the @santafefilm.bsky.social yesterday! I hope it gets into many more festivals and I can see it again. youtu.be/ruBcMlhNMJQ

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

really proud of the featured contributors I’ve lined up for @geekgirlcon.bsky.social this year!

yesterday was full of high highs (heated rivalry trailer) and low lows (having a barbell fall and hit my elbow)

been sitting on this for a year now and I can finally announce it!

absolutely LOVED Flip by @ngoziu.com. I know I too would be Say biased.

picked this book up at SDCC and LOVED IT…so much I recommended it for book club

I wish ace headcanons were more a thing in fandom 😫 give me pairings with sex-averse aces, stone top aces, sex-favorable aces, aces realizing they're more greyace, aces figuring out what they are and aren't okay with when it comes to sexual intimacy, and everything inbetween!!!

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany. But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

finished fma: brotherhood while sick and have read approximately 1000 fics in the last month. this all started because of a fic in the rec center newsletter in April.

excited to be included in such a rockstar group for a great convo. check it out!

I’ve recently started getting physical manga from the library and I am really enjoying reading a volume each night before bed.

deciding to rewatch fullmetal alchemist has given me so much joy in the past few weeks. excited to read the manga for the first time once my library holds come in!

thank you to everybody who’s out there still writing stories and making art, despite everything

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Cartoonist R. E. Burke has been returned to the UK after three weeks of detention and international outrage

just watched conclave and WHY is nobody talking about this film!

LOVE THIS BOOK!! LOVE MICHELLE!! Also I’m in it 💜💜

And illustrated by my good friend @michellejingchan.bsky.social!!

someday I will write my zosan cheerleading au that has lived in my head for the last year!!

I made my first zine!! I went with an easy topic.

Media and digital literacy are key to disrupting disinformation. --clapping back/arguing just helps to amplify bad faith accounts & false material --don't share "funny" disinfo to dunk on it; some will still believe it --BLOCK, REPORT, and tell others to do same *without* sharing disinfo content

The future isn’t built by waiting—it’s built by us. 💪Donate or volunteer with GeekGirlCon today and help create a world where equity, inclusion, & justice thrive. Together, we can make the difference. 🌍💖 geekgirlcon.com/get-involved... #GeekGirlCon #EquityInAction #InclusiveFutures #GeekCommunity

without TikTok I would have never become army, started dancing, or found jeans that fit me!! I’m actually really sad about it 😭

strongly feel that many of the conversations around bdsm are an extension of what @fangirljeanne.bsky.social said on #pagesandprejudice -- if they do sex "the right way," they can't be harmed by the people they trust. i regret to inform you, that is not the case.

Many members of the animation community have suffered unimaginable losses due to the LA wildfires – here is how to help displaced individuals in the animation industry. PLEASE SHARE WIDELY SO WE CAN HELP EVERYONE OUT!

all art is made from spite or horniness, and a computer cannot be spiteful or horny, so a computer should never make art

“Mhm. And how will you uplift marginalized communities?” I ask an engagement bot, killing off the last members of an endangered species of mynah bird in the Amazon. The bot’s answer lacks intersectionality—I tell it so. A root system that had been alive since the Cretaceous period shrivels and dies

I remember when we were trying to tell folks that amongst the minorities, Black people would be amongst the first to be displaced by gen AI. Now look at this BS. Meta have created a model minority person which, if we’re being honest, is made to fit into the white gaze. 🫠

love when you subscribe to an author on ao3 and they show up in your current fandom 💕

This is a babygirl if you aren't a fuckin coward.
