Y'know... I really truly think I'm done with this place. Every visit just makes me more & more annoyed by its unique & proudly practiced obnoxiousness. I'm not gonna be sharing my stuff anymore on here, since I know y'all aren't reading it.

Imagine you're Freddy Kruger and some dude you're tormenting just leaves you in Bronze League

Reminder that muting specific words on social media for a day, a week, a month, or even forever can be laudatory self-care.

People think all authors are rich and royalties are a bonus. HAHAHAHA. Some of the books on that list I spent years making and have literally never earned a single cent from. Every time someone buys the book, or borrows it from the library, I get closer to that day, which may still be year away.

If folks could stop comparing piracy sites to libraries, that would be awesome. Libraries are a public good who buy books in bulk to benefit their communities, and when you read those books, they buy more.

Thank you for admitting that I am right.

Oh boy, the piracy advocates have found my posts about us getting our settlement checks and are big mad that I'm not grateful to piracy sites for "preserving" my very much in-print books via bootleg uncredited scans surrounded by scammy popups.

It's the personal stories people share about 9/11 that always get to me. Here's a 🧵 of them. All of these folks deserve to be remembered.

I don't think many homophobes are indulging in self-described "queer-inclusive media" to begin with. But even within non-queer narratives, asexuality upsets the belief that "everyone" experiences a desire for sex and romance. That's why non-queer bigots dislike aces.

How to Talk to Boomer Parents About Charlie Kirk (2025)

WOW, my "never trust a Gretchen" rule has a new example.

Here's the whole thing gathered up

But this is ultimately why asexuality is maligned in the queer community as well: If your definition of queerness revolves around romance and sex as proof of humanity, asexuality will always be seen as a threat.

Unfortunately, the queer community has shown that it will only support aces if we fade into the background and center other queer people's stories over our own.

Instead, ace artists are frantic to establish themselves as "the most horny" or "the best at writing smut"--whatever positions them within the circle of palatable queerness and garners their work the most praise and support.

This is an indictment, by the way, not praise. The fact that ace people can only have their art seen and valued if they erase themselves from the narrative should cause ace writers and artists more anger than it seems to.

Publishing rewards palatable queerness, rote romantic arcs and familiar fanfic tropes. Ace authors like Alice Oseman, Lindsey Miller and TJ Klune made it past the gatekeepers specifically because they decentered ace people and focused instead on typical queer romance narratives.

The idea that aphobes are all gleefully making anti-ace discourse blogs on tumblr circa 2013 absolutes the queer community of actually having to THINK about how they exclude ace people. Constantly "forgetting" to include us, not actively supporting us, is exclusion.

I think that's part of the problem. No one seems to know any ace exclusionists, yet ace people are always left out or hand-waved away by queer activism and queer narratives. No one, apparently, is actively excluding ace people... they just "forget" we exist and say casually aphobic things.

Chonker.

On September 10th, 1966, the original SPACE GHOST animated series made its official debut! Happy 59th birthday, Big Guy!

don't think it's a good thing to have a society this highly armed and this unstable

Absolutely obsessed with this hat I just finished up!! The colors just came together so perfectly 😍 The hat is my upcoming Modern Mushroom Witch Hat which is currently in testing and the flowers are my free trillium pattern. #crochet #mushroomhat #witchhat

Wow, Mom's call is even more obnoxious than I expected, and I was already expecting it to be horrible.

Age verification: when I started reading comics, we still used "Bucky Dead" as code for perma-death

oh it was Dall-e that I messed with, not Midjourney. Did they come from each other? I'm bad at the remembering

I know a lot of artists who used it early on for like that conceptual kind of phase, a way to generate fast visual ideas to then make by hand. But to see actual artists who HAVE artistic talent still using it?? now?? You eat your own tail??

So like now, looking back and seeing how we got here and everything I'm like genuinely happy I didn't get sucked in and swept up in it? I haven't drawn since 2020 and the lure of "make the image nearly instantly" was SO strong

Gunna be real frank with y'all: when Midjourney popped up I was like, oh dang. This could actually be pretty useful for like generating ideas and stuff to help with a creative's workflow. I 1) had no understanding how it was trained and 2) did not have any concept of where it would go

I generally avoid current events & reacting to reactionaries for my own health, but my mom will NOT SHUT UP about this story, and the only reason Fox latched onto it is cuz it hits all of their favorite racist, classist, AND ableist dog whistles. AND the victim was a slim blonde, so bonus for them!

Simply the best slide I have ever seen in a powerpoint presentation care of @premeemohamed.com’s talk at @banffcentre.bsky.social re: Putting the Science in Science Fiction

"HOLD ON, HEAR ME OUT, WHAT IF SUPERMAN WAS EVIL"

Hug your bugs (and your soup).

Re-upping this for World Suicide Prevention Day, since in between the creative ramblings, I talk about people's eagerness to talk over or "um AKSHULLY" my own experiences with suicidal ideation. And I doubt I'm the only person who’s gone through that.

As I mentioned in the replies here, this guy has been an absolute cockwomble for at least a decade, sadly. Didn't realise he was still around, but please to be blocking him. He has not changed and will never change. kotaku.com/localizer-as...

She'd be the most pathetic human being alive, if she wasn't so actively harmful with her money & influence.

Not just cat ears either. A seller was told that "fantasy" in general (with "cat ears, fairies, etc" given as examples) is prohibited due to Visa/Mastercard rules. Anne Rice? Nekopara? Elf cosplay OF models? Lexx? Highlander? Conan the Barbarian (1982)? All banned because of a prude at a bank.

The image that inspired my most popular comic.

I forgot how hideous John K's art is in his later years. I can't believe that he even made that for a couch gag which is just plain awful.

There are four kinds of cats: 1) Purrs when cuddled 2) Purrs when left alone 3) Purrs when eating 4) Purrs when preparing to fuck with something

There are two kinds of replies to jokes: 1) Enjoys the joke 2) Steps on the punchline like it's a fucking yes-and round at improv

Tried painting my face to get into character (The Stitcher) for my very first Wrestling with Stitches Presents: A Wrestling Retrospective which I will be recording tomorrow and hope to release on YouTube on Thursday! 🪡💜
