If you want to gaze into the horrifying abyss where the living internet is actively melting away into an ocean of AI slop, just ask DuckDuckGo for the origin of the phrase "let's blow this popsicle stand".

I’m like the moon in that I’m beautiful and luminous not going through a phase

I’ve got a book planned about Spider-Man and another on Speed Racer. But first, I need to get this one funded, written and released 😅

Do you like cyberpunk? Do you like it when trans folks tell their stories? Drop a buck or ten & back the new cyberpunk canon!

You should be reading books by queer men if you are reading m/m romance. You should be intentionally be reading diversely when it comes to both BIPOC and trans authors.

The pure stupidity of appointing a man now thrice disgraced, fired by the previous Labour government, friendly with nonces, and no expecting it to blow up in him face, either Keir or someone hefty has to fall on their sword

Nobody believes in your potential more than the people trying to oppress you.

A group of men who regularly rape children decided to ruin the public's perception of trans people in this country for shits and giggles and every time I think about that my heart clenches into a blood-red fist of rage. And I can't stop thinking about it.

I'm going to say this again in case you haven't heard this one: I was a talented writer and it did *nothing whatsoever* because I hadn't put in the work, and I put in the work for ten years (subtracting the bit where I had to quit for my mental health) to write Witchmark talent alone could *never*

🦉Superb Owls🦉 Cleo is a crag owl who tracks spies near the city for the lady who feeds her mice. Friend is a mechanical owl who helps his maker track enemy movements from afar. The book is about their owners falling in love as war looms. danifinn.itch.io/wings-so-soft books2read.com/b/47dD17

Because of the mirror set up in my bedroom, I always seen my framed picture of David Bowie watching me when I boof prog

Researching cyberpunk leads to all kinds of tangents and rabbit holes. I’m looking up gay cowboys, Japan’s post-war economic recovery, 100 year old European plays, carbon neutral architectural design, Germany’s queer industrial dance scene. It’s all relevant. I promise 😅

I get especially offended when people try to use poverty as a reason for not learning to do art My partner grew up poor as shit, like had NO MONEY for anything. She got a pencil and paper and drew for fun. She drew because she enjoyed it and learned via youtube and tutorials. Using poverty is scummy

Queer bookstores died in 2010. We had a funeral and everything! Except... a ton of people decided to roll up their sleeves and start *new* queer bookshops, all over the place. In cities. In tiny towns. My latest newsletter is about the rebirth of the LGBTQ bookshop: buttondown.com/charliejane/...

Instablock of the day: person saying transgender folks won't die if not given gender-affirming care/hormones. If I have to explain why that's a daft statement to you, you're following the wrong guy.

Whatever could have prevented D2D from implementing these safeguards BEFORE going live? Could it have been zero intention of doing any such thing and only now reacting to a backlash? This comes from years of getting away with deeming romance and erotica as "dangerous" and reeks of bullshit.

I was counting on my Kickstarter money to help pay my rent this month, but it’s delayed. And that means I’m behind on rent. I hate asking for help (I’d much rather be the one doing the help), but I’m stuck in this position again. Many thanks in advance to any helpers. ko-fi.com/autumnwolff/...

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

"People used to lose their jobs when they posted stuff like this." "Sure grandma, let's get you to bed."

Sharing this for no particular reason as the fascists clamp down harder on digital content. It’s also included in Women and Other Creatures, along with the other Incorporated States series (trans joy in dyatopia), among others.

The irony is I've had to put writing my own cyberpunk novel on hold to focus all my free time on a book talking about transness in everyone else's cyberpunk stories 😅

Good stuff

Hear! Hear! Self-publishing IS publishing. It's not a last resort. It's not shameful. Just because industries set on controlling the narrative of society deign not to publish a story doesn't mean it is any less valid, interesting, or vital than anything else.

When my wife was 13, she told her (male) doctor how painful her periods were. He told her that's how periods were. This continued until she passed out in the bathroom at work. Then they learned she had the worst csse of endimetriosis they'd ever seen. Untreated for 20 years. Fuck the Patriarchy.

Seeing as I accidentally staying up ridiculously late (designing a large poster of my books for a bookfair 😄), I may as well repost this for people who are awake when I should be sleeping. Have a good day where its day time!
