Do you guys ever just want to quit your creative pursuit forever, but then you remember you have to have a creative pursuit or your brain will simply scream and scream and scream, so you take up a new creative pursuit only to find you want to quit it forever also, so you take up a new one only to fi

@outsidewolves.bsky.social can your concorde ad still be found online somewhere? 🐺✈️💖

Ok I think this needs to be elaborated on a bit more, because I had someone tell me that this comes from an unreliable narrator and is engaged with later on. I have absolutely no trust at this point that a cis author who drops something this bigoted right at the outset will engage respectfully.

I agree that equating narrator with author is silly and dangerous, and if there were more characters in bsky posts I'd have added more nuance. I still think readers are allowed to dislike the words an author chooses to put in a narrator's mouth.

I totally lost interest in her a few pages into Drive Your Plow, etc, when she referred to men's sense of entitlement as "testosterone autism," managing to be both horribly ableist and bioessentialist/anti-trans in two words.

I love @edyong209.bsky.social

It is wrong and criminal for government agents to kidnap someone, send them to die in a concentration camp, and disappear them, regardless of immigration status. But it's still worth noting she has a green card. The government doesn't even pretend this is about deporting undocumented people.

I think I’m traumatized by technology I don’t control and that force things I don’t want into my life. And a VCR never made me spend ten minutes on updates. A VCR never let a stranger steal my personal information.

"Cruddy" by Lynda Barry is just incredible. So dark and visceral and grotesque and so funny, with such a strong and distinctive voice. I have been having all kinds of out-loud reactions.

I am pretending to feel very cool, normal, and chill about my story being featured in @r-emrys.bsky.social's and Anne M. Pillsworth's column in Reactor this week. Thank you both for the kind words 👽👽👽🦠🦠🦠

We have to stop anthropomorphizing billionaires.

How llms work is literally on wikipedia. Its stats at scale. Stats at scale isnt thinking, it wont ever be. It will never be sentient. Its all so silly. They need you to believe this can become AGI for stock prices. That's it.

Another person has died in ICE custody. 33-year-old Denny Adán González died on Tuesday in Georgia. Authorities claim he died by suicide. González is the 18th person to die in ICE custody this year—this is also the 18th week of 2026.

ergot. is firing on all cylinders, this Ian Kappos story is one of the best things I've read this year. Ian is one of the most under-hyped writers of strange, irreal, genre-melding speculative fiction. Read Ian Kappos, people.

I missed Skull With An Ass 🥲

And yet the reality of what trans people are going through is still so profoundly off the radar of most cis liberals. It's not real to them, even though we're in the middle of a historic mass exodus. They still think we can "just stop taking the hormones" or whatever and then vote in the midterms.

I was wondering why my mom has a ziploc bag full of babadooks

Great work

I love ALIEN’s vision of the future. Yes, everyone is still working shit jobs for shit corporations for shit pay. But the good news is they’ve successfully made robots full of milk that are bitchy little fruits

I like bluesky because it feels so much like tumblr 1. barely works 2. userbase is annoying (affectionate)(not that affectionate) 3. being queer on here feels like I’m actively participating in ruining some tech company’s investment
