Watching the New York Times become, not for the first time, an organ of bigotry and disinformation, seeing this happen in slow motion due to the influence of a tiny handful of hateful, arrogant twits like Sulzberger and Pamela Paul, is as frustrating as any experience imaginable. But we will win.

Please call your senators and representatives about stopping Elon Musk’s censorious bill.

As always you can call and protest this stuff if you'd like. Getting a wide base of callers will have a higher impact than a small group of callers that call over and over. You can also push back on false narratives, like that this is about fraud or chargebacks. Or educate critters close to you.

Me, running past enemy with a samurai sword: Finishing move! Enemy, looking down to see he is unharmed: Ha! You missed! Me, smugly: Did I? Enemy, looking down and discovering that his penis is now a vagina:

I’ve said it before, but if I had infinite time and energy, I’d want to write a serious work of literary fiction about a protagonist struggling to live their life, all while slowly drip feeding details that reveal that the story takes place in the Omegaverse.

People keep getting shot… I don’t like it. Feel stupid and naive but why can’t we all just get along? Why can’t we all just mind our own fucking business and be good to each other? Fuck this culture war bullshit.

Everyone's screaming about how the left doesn't compromise and I keep saying I will vote for this guy. I am a communist who will vote for a billionaire. Centrists, tell me about even one instance when you have compromised like anything close to this. Or at all.

RCBG fanfic is getting wild

Hehehehehehehehehheheheheheheeeeee Two absolutely awful boys. Just the worst. They look super good here!

finished commission for @lizwizblizz.bsky.social and @anaisl.bsky.social 💖 i drew a couple of their OC’s ✨

One of the joys of writing is discovering questions no one has asked before. Like, if someone’s dad is hot, but a repper, is he a MILF? I don’t know! But these are the questions I have to explore. Literature!

Current project has been summed up by my writing partner on it as, "They're playing Transgender Gay Chicken." Thank you @lizwizblizz.bsky.social, it's perfect.

Within 20 years there will be a mainstream forcefem prestige drama helmed by a cis woman hailed as a feminist masterpiece. There will be no trans women in the writing room, it will demonstrate a complete lack of understanding transmisogyny, but we will still be expected to applaud.

on the bright side, we’re in a golden age for angry transsexual art

Alright, sure. A snippet of my main character describing her morning routine.

Current scene I’m writing has a character have an intense internal debate over the ethics of violating the egg prime directive all while murdering a man. So that’s how my project’s going.

I’VE BEEN WRITING LITERARY FICTION THE WHOLE TIME???

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

4 months working on this book and I’m 11.6k words in. I wish I was better at this. I feel like I’m moving so slowly.

Go Birds

Authors of #booksky, explain your story badly: A woman with awful taste in men has a series of bad dates.

What the fuck is a romantasy

Starting to feel like I’m pretty good at this writing thing. Not perfect but. But I’m good. Improved. I just need to practice more. I need to practice more. Practice means doing. I need to do. I need to keep doing.

Do you live near Toronto, and want a roommate? DM me! Do you live in Canada, and wanna give me money & keep me afloat? DM me for my eTransfer email address! Do you wanna do that, but you live outside Canada? PayPal me! Are you unable to do any of that? Reskeet this! Please. I’ll die if I’m homeless.

STAY POSITIVE!

Okay, help me resolve this argument with my girlfriend: Would lesbian columbo be butch or femme?

I think that trans people should aggressively adopt the phrase "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" until it is literally ours forever and the cis can have it back on a provisional basis.

to all trans folx: the torrential onslaught of transphobic hate that we are facing is a storm of reaction. it will eventually pass over us. you have to survive the maelstrom. if you do nothing else for the next four years, you have to live.

Finally finished this new draft of my short story! I’m excited to share this one with y’all.

Someone could make the funniest thing ever happen and all it would take is one match.

How do I stop myself from getting too ahead in my imaginings of a project that I don’t actually end up doing it

my sincerest wish is that we all get thru this to become old women and tell the young trannies how hard we had to fight and they all roll their eyes and go "yeah sure" bc the world has been so much kinder to them that they can't even imagine

You know, really the practical thing to do would be to stay and fix Omelas from the inside.

Does anybody know how to effectively break a doomspiral? I keep falling into one regarding what’s happening to trans people in this country.

okay, we're starting with this Step 1. call your own rep if you haven't already! Step 2. sign this (cis women only please! cis guys, you can help by boosting) Step 3. much depends on the success and reach of step 2; lots of options if this blows up actionnetwork.org/petitions/no...

From a completely detached perspective, in a sick kind of way, if this new wave of bird flu turns into a pandemic in the start of this year, it would be one of the funniest things ever. Trump starts his second term and immediately there's another one. That's the type of shit the pharaohs dealt with.

I think I might actually be good at this writing thing.

One of the interesting tricks I've learned about writing lately is the art of the understatement. I had a professor who commented on my writing with a pithy quote from actor Sir Micheal Caine, "To play a drunk man, don't try to act drunk, try to act sober". I rolled my eyes at the time, but it WORKS

the way that Nancy Mace is sexually harassing her trans colleague as well as everyone else she works with by making them listen to her perverted unsolicited thoughts about genitals all day long...... what other workplace on earth would allow that

Hi SCP Community!

Deeply deeply frustrated by how Sarah McBride is being treated by her fellow representatives.

I’m anxious about what’s happening in government

I’ve been in a weirdly dark headspace as I work on my new project. I mean, it’s about a serial killer but I just keep thinking about it and getting upset. Not sure if this feeling is where the project stems from, or the project is making me feel this way.

Does anybody know a good place to try to get a queer horror short story published?
