People saying this like it’s not a real issue in gay romance too.

Cutting the sandworms from JANE EYRE is why Charlotte Bronte never achieved the lasting popularity of her sandworm-heavy contemporaries like Charles Dickens.

A popular subject during spring visits to Yellowstone.

It’s a strange kind of freedom when you think of someone who once shaped your life and realize it no longer matters where they are or what they’re doing.

Sale news: The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen by KJ Charles is on sale for $1.99. If you fancy some queer romance involving smugglers and noblemen this holiday season, I highly recommend it. amzn.to/4jb5IMN

Finished one (1) Christmas gift. This one is for my sister.

I've seen some people saying that the new SFWA rule on "AI" in the Nebulas will prevent people from being transparent about their LLM use. Newsflash: They wouldn't have been anyway. It would cost them readers. It would cost them votes. It would potentially cost them opportunities with publishers.

And please also, AGAIN, never forget that they are inherently unethical to use because no one gave permission for their research or writing to be used in it. It is all stolen, and if you're using the plagiarism machine, please keep that in mind.

Working on my Christmas gifts because once again I have waited until the last week before Christmas lolsob

Maybe I’m just lucky or maybe I just dont buy online as much as some people but having two packages go astray at the same time feels like a plague upon my house. At least Lion Brand’s customer service is absolute shit. 🫠

Not all artists deserve to be supported but it’s absolutely capitalism’s fault that I have to vet the people I support because it makes the exploitation of the poor and other minorities so very profitable

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

Note the details of how the Cardinals quietly backed away from supporting this

In fact, fuck all ‘MM’ authors who write ‘straight’ books under other pens names. Fucking garbage cowards, every one of you.

I love it when I see the unrepentant collaborators of homophobia apologists advertised on my timeline. It’s great. Really. Fuck Jocelyn Drake and anyone else who works with AJ Sherwood.

Americans will have to get comfortable with visiting international friends than expecting those people to visit on US terms Guess that's it for the US tourist sector.

This is why hating and mocking AI relentlessly and publicly is vital work.

My mood today

On Human Rights Day, I reintroduced the International Human Rights Defense Act—because LGBTQ+ rights are human rights, everywhere. We must proudly defend dignity and equality for all people worldwide.

I mean this: if your DAs and AGs aren’t talking about prosecuting this, get some who will if you possibly can. Either by shaming or voting.

I really appreciate @rephaleystevens.bsky.social doing this. www.michiganpublic.org/politics-gov...

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

👀

People are going to die because of the pending insurance premium hikes. I know the terrain of discourse is inconsistent and goes through a tumble cycle every 24 hours, but I really think we need to hone in on this reality and drive it home for people.

"We are more innocent than anyone ever and do only totally mega legal things ...so we need to make sure you don't investigate us."

Amazing how a bunch of broke-ass furries can keep churning out amazing art, stories and animations constantly but billion-dollar companies are like “nooo we need AI, making stuff is haaard and our investors want more moneyyy.”

I feel like I can draw a line between the notoriously litigious JKR not suing over fanfic romantasy (marketed with her characters!) and the notoriously litigious Disney letting off gen AI with a licensing fee and their blessing, it's an avenue to stay relevant to people they otherwise wouldn't reach

that conflicted feeling when your fav author has a book release but it’s not the book you’ve been waiting for for over a year now

Oh my cat has a terrifying stretch like that haha. Clearly they are aliens.

This picture has been making the rounds again, and is being misidentified again. This is a GOOSEFISH. This is NOT a tasselled wobbegong shark. It’s a great pic. I get why people are very excited about it. But it’s as easy to give it the right name as the wrong one. fullfact.org/online/tasse...

"Today, family separations are back, only now they are happening all across the country. The lawsuit against the zero tolerance policy resulted in a 2023 settlement that limits separations at the border, but it does not address those that occur inside the country after encounters with ICE."

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

I feel like I should have expected someone who got popular on TikTok to have a less than enlightened stance on trans issues but at least I can just unfollow and block, unlike in real life. Sigh.

Some people will tell you that the only way to end homelessness is to provide housing to everyone, to feed everyone, as well as provide universal health, dental and mental care services. These people would be correct.

Abolish ICE straight to The Hague (yeah, yeah, I know), but the community response to their attempted "shows of force", in multiple cities, is genuinely giving me a glimmer of hope in all this.

I beg your fucking pardon?

I think it's more than a little fair for trans folks in the book community to be wary of readers who still love HP in 2025 and/or read HP-inspired romantasy novels.

Found when sorting an old drive. I still, very occasionally, say 'not many badgers in the House of Lords' and this is why:

100% agree with this post: art is about community and expression, real artists don’t gatekeep! 💕 If you have any questions for me regarding art or art equipment absolutely do ask, under here or DMs is both good 💕

Fuck Pantone.

More of this nationwide please!

did… did the dog write this recipe

It would cost $30 billion to end homelessness in the USA.

That whole thread about what you would do with UBI: motherfuckers I would celebrate that so many people on my TL wouldn’t have to BEG to pay rent/food/healthcare. UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME NOW

Feels annoying that I have to specify that from here on out, politicians need to have adult-level emotional regulation.

I don’t want to vote for a Democrat who promises to get Trump’s voters to vote for them. I want a Democrat who wants to put Trump in prison

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
