literally peony likes ysildea so much. it takes ysildea a while to internalize this. #OCsky #ysildea #darkElfMafia

started following taylor for worldbuilding, but i am also 👀 scrutinizing the way he uses these true grit brushes...How to use them so well and efficiently....

Did some watercolor pencil practice with my elves #darkElfMafia #veredi #aelrak #ysildea

Pushed this off bc I'd convinced myself it was too frivolous to ask for help for. But summer's coming, I have appointments requiring travel & I need the AC in my caregiver's car fixed. I have respiratory failure & am at high risk of cardiac arrest & stroke from heat. www.paypal.me/brainfrog95

Today marks 6 years since the murder of George Floyd. During that time, more Americans have questioned the role and practices of police in society — and hoped for meaningful reform. So, what does the state of policing look like now, 6 years later? 🧵

Were constantly told by the forestry industry that commercial plantations are good for carbon when undisturbed native forests are so much better

A peppering of suspected Ebola cases popping up now around the world. Not surprising. Travel to DRC/Uganda/surrounds + viral syndrome = Ebola at the moment… Also. The thousands of people that were travelling over the last few weeks… out of the epicentre…

This benefits a neighborhood school where more than 70% of kids were in hiding at the height of the ICE occupation.

taking a break from writing smutty fantasy romance to plug my smutty fantasy romance (okay this collection also has some contemporary romance in it. but not any sci-fi that i recall)

consider buying an anthology of NSFW queer romance stories from a queer, disabled, trans author? there's not a lot i can do safely to make money, but i can still write smutty romances. #bookSky #romancelandia #queerAuthor #indieRomance

"theres backlash to the emperors new and very visible clothing because humans arent 'evolved' enough to see them"

This regime hates disabled people. They view us as “useless eaters”. They’ve threatened “wellness camps”, Medicaid and access to many medications. They want people to suffer. Forcing them to lose their housing or give up their service animal is cruel & unusual punishment

Finally put together another short story collection! There is nothing like compiling a few years of work into a collection to realize...I was definitely working on a Theme, huh? #queerAuthor #queerRomance #transAuthor #transRomance #indie #ownVoices

hey guys, there's a lot of censorship going on right now, reminder that if you really love something, save a copy

Our English patch for Kowloon's Gate, the surrealist Asian-gothic cyberpunk PS1 adventure game arrives June 9th.

Capitalization affects how people read hashtags or how people hear them on screen readers. Use #camelCase or #PascalCase in hashtags instead of lowercase. You could have #DoctorWhoRewatch ("Doctor Who Rewatch") or #doctorwhorewatch ("doctor whore watch.")

yeah

Trans women are so dispossessed of agency and a voice that “girl stand up for yourself” is seen as bold radical transfeminism and not like, basic self-respect any trans girl should have

"Meetings are held, emails are sent, phone calls are made, and something like 520,000 children die of malnutrition, diarrhea, tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV." prospect.org/2026/05/22/w...

yeah but people get real upset when you describe it as attempted genocide

Sometimes I think "erasure" is far too euphemistic a term for policies that are in reality about expulsion, violence, the removal of access to public society and human dignity, and/or acts of functional segregation.

love 2 see the leftism leaving people's bodies as soon as a trans woman offers even a minor criticism of them. cool so you're not actually that committed to the idea of being fair or kind

Putting this in a new thread for visibility: I’ve opened up a pre-order for the next batch of sock weight in this color! They will ship at the end of June ☺️🧶 #knitting #crochet #yarn measuredandslow.studio/shop/hand-dy...

If there ever was any argument about masking at airports, and on flights, this has gotta be reason #1, as you never know who's on the flight! Welcome to 2026..it keeps on giving.. www.cbc.ca/news/world/a...

In one month, the drought will finally pass. It's a great time to catch up on the previous 252 pages! Updates will be in batches of six pages on the third Thursday of the month. Yes, this is just last year's hiatus-ending graphic with the date/BG color changed. priestwife.neocities.org

I realize this is not the worst part, but I really resent the way people throw around the term “blood libel.” The blood libel is a very specific thing, and justified centuries of antisemitic slaughter. It doesn’t just mean “any old accusation of violence that I would prefer not be true.”

this is perhaps the coolest thing ever!! and if you want to support it but can’t make it to Baltimore, there IS a video on demand reward tier… 😈

on the plus side, i slept for like ten hours straight last night and feel A LOT better today, so that's nice

cass's work is being shitty about her being sick for a week without knowing ahead of time that a cold would take her out for a week and mom just locked ALL of the car keys in the jeep i'm

lrt pornography IS part of culture and the fact that it's so under-discussed and/or mostly discussed by extremists is part of our huge societal problems

Ebola is still transmissible post mortem. It’s why bodies have to be handled by people with proper PPE and disposed of properly.

If everyone (everyone) talked about pornography like it was part of culture things would be better I think

Been working on this one for a while, and thinking about the issues around mold and climate change for even longer. Thanks to @thesicktimes.org for giving it a home!

Trans porn was the second most-viewed category of 2025 on PornHub, up five spots from 2024. For some trans content creators, this isn’t really a surprise: trans people are hot and have always been desired—the political noise around their existence, they say, is just manufactured bullshit.

some rich zelda fan should just pay me to write them variants of zelda stories forever. i got a million of them. you want fanfic? you want new iterations? you want worldbuilding? you want an overarching narrative that puts everything into 1 timeline in a way that makes ACTUAL SENSE AND ISN'T STUPID

Well, this is horrifying. arxiv.org/pdf/2510.01395 In short: AI was vastly more likely to agree with the user than a human friend would be. After discussing problems with it, users ended up more convinced they were right and less likely to consider others' feelings. But they liked it better.

Difficult post, but past time to rip the band aid off. FIYAH is going on hiatus indefinitely, with issue #40 currently set to be our last for the time being. The mag cannot continue running at a loss, and needs time to reassess operations from top to bottom if a viable path forward is to be created.

Devastating. FIYAH was the first home for my short fiction. FIYAH has been more than just a magazine, it's a movement. Unapologetically creating space for Black spec fic, sharing their platform and creating the tools for accountability and transparency in the SFFH short fiction ecosystem.

Policymakers are legislating blanket bans on social media based on evidence that would be rejected in any other field of public health. Before imposing these draconian measures, they must listen to the experts sounding the alarm on oversimplified conclusions. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

holy shit...??? legendary animator John Ripa just posted a long lost pencil test from the very first version of Tangled, where it was a cute romcom and Jack Black was the main love interest, omg. we were robbed TWICE #animation #tangled

Finally, belatedly working on drafting my part of an article with @drberger.bsky.social on "Who is COVID 'Over' For?" and I apparently have gotten to a part (on public pleasure and who gets constructed as inherently anti-pleasure) that has fully unlocked rant mode.

WHEN WE OFFLOAD MITIGATION BURDENS ONTO PEOPLE WHO CAN'T PRETEND IT'S OVER, THE BURDENS BECOME EXPONENTIALLY MORE MISERABLE. We then conveniently look at the compounded and totally unnecessary misery and conclude that any mitigation at all is inherently miserable.

💊 The antiviral ensitrelvir was found to prevent COVID-19 in people exposed to COVID-positive individuals 💷 The U.K. government announced £4.75 million in funding for ME study 👂 A new phase 2 trial is studying a compound for Long COVID related tinnitus Research updates: bit.ly/42PMTY7

this is why getting us to stop misusing "psychotic" is so important to me, btw. it has REAL impact on people w/psychosis when the association w/our diagnosis is so negative and false. this is the case even in medical settings! we are treated SO BADLY due to these misconceptions. people DIE sometimes
