And every time I try to talk about solidarity or optimism or try to tell people there's hope amidst the suffering, I'm called some variant of lucky or assimilationist like I don't have fucking neopronouns as a brown enby tranny lesbian and like I didn't suffer in the closet for years too.

listen to trans POC when we tell you that doomerism isn't the way, and that radical optimism has been the only path towards survival and freedom throughout our history!

Shubh Deepavali! Wishing everyone a very happy Diwali. Across our city, families are lighting diyas and celebrating the triumph of light over darkness and hope over despair. New York shines brighter tonight because of the people who bring their light and traditions home.

Hey everyone, I had planned my finances on having roughly 500 dollars for submitting my story to a magazine. Unfortunately this fell through and now I'm looking at some pretty bad financials, if you can please donate to my Ko-fi ko-fi.com/theoganywrites

‪ #SaveSpeech If you're like me and you are struggling to contact your senators re: KOSA via their phone lines this week, I recommend attempting to send physical letters or emails in the meantime. Here is a script you can use to contact your reps! www.commoncause.org/find-your-re...

Please contact your senators about KOSA. This bill has amassed a lot of cosponsors. We can beat this, but we need people to call, email and send letters en mass. Please try to contact your reps as often as you are able to and encourage people you know to join you!

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

saw this clip of the NYC mayor debate and i had tears in my eyes, perhaps the most insane section of any debate ever

working on my novel again

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters. If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Before deciding on Chicago the city the IEG was set in was going to be a fictional city state called Paragon vaugly in the northern midwest

#Septopolis 13 Chicago is kinda a weird mix, it certainly is a different city than in our world, having twice the population would do that. There are phone booths on corners, a large wall across the northern horizon and a large dome sitting right there on Lake Michigan, self repairing of course.

potentially the funniest thing he’s said yet

Look I’m not saying now is the time to dress up as three ghosts and have a word with him but I’m also not saying it’s not

It's out!!! Love movies like Cloverfield, Dawn of the Dead, and Moonfall? Experience the thrills of trying to survive a disaster movie when you're just the little people getting stomped in the background! It's live on itch now! Follow the link! dare2dreamrpg.itch.io/the-only-way...

inventing a new genre called "yaori", which is when like a "half yuri half yaoi" type genre where you pair half of a yuri (a "girl") with half of a yaoi (a "guy") so it's like a "girl x guy" type relationship, if that makes sense

If you disagree you need to take a look around you and realize that ideology lends credence to the fascistic destruction of art

I don't usually speak up on a lot of things going on in the world, but as an artist with some stake in things. I'm just gonna draw the hard line and say Real is Real. Fiction is Fiction I am a man of nuance and compromise, but this line will always be black and white to me.

NEW 🚨 The violence is the point. Elected Dems must call for widespread resignations (RFK, Bhattacharya, Prasad) in response to the CDC shooting. Public health must demand this of them, and the public must demand that of us. With @publichealthguy1.bsky.social in STAT: www.statnews.com/2025/08/15/c...

This breaks my heart. This is sexual harassment. This is traumatizing. TERFs and transphobes and everyone “just asking questions” for “women’s safety” (this happened to a cis teenager) should be ashamed for the rest of their lives. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-...

More and more people reporting today that Stripe - the payment processor that Itch said were putting the most pressure on them - now have staff actively confirming that yes, they are censoring LGBT content, adult or otherwise. That this is official company policy. This seems kinda significant.

I dyed last night

Promoting the shit out of this one again - “The Power Company Detective” by Joe Koch, a real downer feel bad story with lots going on. A kind of grimy gothic feel but also a surreal anti-Raymond Chandler noir vibe. Not stripped bare but thick, sludgy prose you have to wipe off after reading.

“transgender people, anytime they now want to use a single-sex facility on campus, there’s now this risk involved not just for themselves, but for the university as a whole…’it would open up my peers and me to potential repercussions.’” great work to everyone involved in this “compromise.”

This is purely anecdotal, all artisanal data from yours truly, but kids today seem way overscheduled and yet are often not allowed to just... hang out with friends and be bored and whatever. It feels like kids are more controlled and wrangled and kept "protected." So this kinda tracks? YMMV.

Hey all, I've started a petition over on Change. I'm asking that some profits from the next Avatar film go toward supporting Indigenous Futurist artists and projects. I hope you'll take a moment to sign and to share. chng.it/JdXwNNDTCF Wado/Thanks! #IndigenousFuturism #NativeSky

Hey folks. Today, I'm officially coming out as trans. You can read the blog post about it if you're interested: coyoteandcrow.net/2025/08/05/k... From here on out, please refer to me as Kenna Alexander. My pronouns are she/her or they/them.

Been a while since I’ve rattled the alms tin so if you enjoy our peculiar brand of weird shit, have a few quid/dollars/euros/whatever to spare and fancy chucking it our way you can do it on our Patreon. It’s the only thing that keeps the lights on round here so it’s much appreciated.

This happens in I EAT GODS FOR BREAKFAST

this is official marketing material for the new bad guys plushies

BREAKING: We're suing ICE for unlawfully targeting and arresting people who show up to court for their immigration hearings.

Visa employees clearly told to deescalate ASAP MasterCard employees more than familiar with the issue Stripe feeling the pressure ACLU put out a statement CBC covered all this What you are doing is WORKING You are getting RESULTS KEEP CALLING KEEP WRITING WE ARE GOING TO WIN!!

People who will hate Remember Monsters - Small towns - Country music fans - Nice Guys - Really into vampire lore - Bitter divorced dad's - were gay "just that one time but it doesn't mean anything."

My team is hiring again! We've got two jobs posted: EXPERT and SENIOR writer. In our org chart, Expert is a click above Senior and focused on craft. Senior owns big parts of the game and could eventually be promoted to a direction- or craft-focused role. lnkd.in/gpYpu3QZ lnkd.in/gppUzFmj

Under the spectacle of the Epstein Files and the horror of migrants being disappeared to foreign gulags, the bureaucratic assault on democracy is all too easy to miss. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...

A Stripe rep hung up on me when they realized they told me they're disallowing "LGBTQ content" in transactions, so either they're slipping up more or just being more honest about their real intentions. Keep the pressure up, keep calling, maybe start recording what they're telling you.

Whip lashed between great joy and horrible depression, it feels like everything is worse and won't get better and am struggling to find a reason to keep making something that might be illegal in a year

I can’t take anybody seriously who thinks reading/watching/playing media that involves morally bad characters means you condone that behavior and/or want to perpetrate it yourself in real life. Y’all sound so ridiculous. It’s fiction. 🤦🏼

Back on twitter people jumped me for posting controversial stuff like 'you should finish your projects' and 'you actually have to write the book not just eternally worldbuild'.

Uh. Here's the tags: #wipsnips #dogwood2 #nsfw CW: violent fantasies. (Wesley stood in one place too long and the intrusive thoughts caught up up him. It's pretty tame for the book itself but miles beyond what I usually post here. Includes my zero draft notes because I think they're funny.)
