I have until midnight June 30th to stay housed. $1,190 needed. I’m not getting traction or help. I’m unable to work, but denied disability. I’m scared. my body won’t survive homelessness again. this is literally my life. #Emergency #MABoosr v/cA: secretladyspider pp: [email protected]

I'm gonna figure out how to make werewolves Orthodox (or fantasy proxy Orthodox I guess)

My students are always learning my six sacred techniques then trying to use them against me in battle. Obviously I'm going to use the secret seventh technique to defeat them. Every day with this.

What's it like in your head? youtu.be/lhy9Vw0Wj5M?...

Wacom recently asked me to talk about why I make queer comics, and given there are multiple bills right now floating around in congress that are effectively "we will kill your livelihood if we get a sniff of queer" I had some pretty strong, simply feelings to relay.

The cooling system was installed by the village AC technician, Thermodynamix 😊

Its a bold move for Citizens Advice Scotland to say "We support people no matter where they’re from. We’re non-judgemental. Staff no longer want to leave far-right rhetoric unchallenged when they hear it" when they implemented a trans bathroom ban for staff over a year ago.

Heya folks, if you followed me on Twitter at the start of the Ukraine war, I did a big auction that raised 15k. I'm looking at doing another auction for people affected by the earthquake in Venezuela. Will be looking for lot donations of big ticket items. DM's are open and will have a mull.

You've arched your last enemy!

My little blue novella ❤️☀️ The Castaway and the Witch is a twisted coming of age story about Nefele who gets stranded on a mythical prison island and is consumed by its surrounding mythology. Everything changes when a second Castaway arrives. A reimagining of the island Aeaea, Circe and Odysseus.

it's 2028. I am fired from my minimum wage job of removing joyful murals from public spaces after screenshots emerge of me referring to my esteemed colleague, Microsoft Copilot 365, as a "festering minge".

You couldn't make Ravenous today, because I've eaten

We were not a musical household! I had to get the internet before I actually started learning about rock and metal, I was hilariously sheltered. My mum sometimes listened to ABBA or bagpipe music, while my dad only ever had an interest in folk music from his home region.

Note from my notebook (2017). Still true.

You've ironed your last maiden

Microcosm of why I can't stand instagram: Post crops up on my feed celebrating prog rocker Demis Roussos. Part of it highlights his achievements at age 35. Top comment under the post is "that's a rough 35 😂". Anyway, have some Demis for your eardrums, ya animals. youtu.be/pJ_UYHqWfJk?...

Considering the abundance of gifts nature has already seen fit to shower me with, a hideous level of pollen allergy really is just spoiling me at this point

It's a steamin' hot Merynthia summer! Life on these cobblestone streets just got EVEN CHEAPER and YOU can take advantage like a loathsome Trynacrian city guard! Enjoy the misadventures of Worm in the quest to free Sicania for a mere $2.50 -- limited time only!

hate to hand it to the guardian too much but this is very funny

"why did people hate starmer so much?" people ask of a man whose very instructive and clear nickname was sir queer harmer

I had fun coming up with the tags for this one, not gonna lie. Not too late, I've just interviewed the inimitable Luana Saitta @minillajovovich.bsky.social about her latest sword & sorcery novella, Merynthia's Master. Enjoy!

100 "thumbs ups" on your post may not seem like that much in the grand scheme of things, but imagine those hundred frantic hands dragging you down into the icy black depths of a mountain tarn and suddenly it doesn't seem like so little

It really isn't tenable long-term for the US and British center-lefts to keep acting like a 18 year old edgy college student can speak for all of the Palestinian liberation movement but that the natsec, finance, defense, and prime ministers of Israel are small beans who don't mean anything.

Someone in Inveraray had these two hanging off the back of their truck and holy shit that superglue has gotta be doing the work of Atlas

JK Rowling called trans people “rapists rights activists”. because of her activism, a trans woman can go to prison if a cis man says she didn’t disclose her transness to him, & then she’ll be raped forever in male prison. JK shut down rape crisis centers for being trans inclusive. JKR is pro-rape.

Share a movie soundtrack you love. 🎥🎶 The Ravenous soundtrack by Michael Nyman and Damon Albarn, later of Gorillaz. It runs the gamut from dissonant tenderness to sheer gut-melting evil. youtu.be/N7-PNH0IDpg?...

An update from Scottish Greens. Please use this tempate to write to Fife council and get this UGLY BEAST outta here!! greens.scot/stopfifeaida...

"require real names online" is the kind of policy that sounds very sensible only to someone who has never experienced stalking and doesn't mind functionally banning stalking victims from public life, and also is not marginalized in any way at all. pro-stalker behavior.

Aris Velouchiotis died on this day, 81 years ago. He led the Greek resistance during Nazi occupation in Greece. Commited suicide to evade capture in 1945.

Virtual events are important to international writers like me who can't drive to a local con or feel like they live in the periphery of the writing community. For disabled people and people who can't risk getting sick. For everyone who might not have the financial ability and time to attend one.

it's actually normal to spend 6 hours watching bad musicals and drawing little monk guys

1. Bone (Jeff Smith, 1991-2004). This series was everything to me as a kid. It was charming and witty, as funny as it could be sad, and a master of shifting between and juxtaposing contradictory tones. Every now and then, I think, "I ought to revisit it someday."

Sometimes art doesn't have a purpose.

If they really want “to give kids their childhood back” they need to fund libraries, youth centre’s, youth groups and parks. Bring back sure starts, invest in local communities so they have things to do!

if the worst case is now 2.8 that translates to 2 is possible. what I don't see a lot also in climate talk is drawdown. we could become not only carbon neutral but actually carbon negative and reverse warming. emissions are already dropping due to high solar adoption. things look good.

Ok so researchers 1600km off WA, 7km down - Find an active walefall. Cool! Many critters and a few new species. - Then realise there's 5 active whalefalls. - Then realise there's 476 whalefalls, some of them dating back 5.3 million years, including extinct species - One unknown to science

Update: Young people & families today received shocking & transphobic letters from NHS. These letters tell people that endocrine care (blockers / HRT) is being fully withdrawn in 7 weeks time (July 31st). Forced medical detransition. This country is a danger to trans children & young people.
